Lost Love
Back in 1989, being a fresh graduate of Psychology, Cathy landed a job in the personnel department in one of the government offices in Quezon City. A male co-worker named Jun, was 11 years older than her. Jun became one of her friends while working there. Jun was king, loving, and romantic. He was the breadwinner of his family. His parents and relatives liked Cathy a lot. Being single and unattached, Jun courted her in 1990. She accepted the marriage proposal of Jun during the latter part of that year.
Cathy’s parents did not approve of their relationship and when the first quarter of 1991 came, her parents made her quit in her job. Her dad, being a military man, even threatened Jun to stay away from her. To make long story short, Cathy left her job. Lost track of Jun and put herself with their family business. Basically, she went on with her life and tried to forget about Jun.
On the morning of June 2, 1994 she received a telegram from Jun’s aunt, saying that Jun had died the day before June1, 1994. Cathy is shocked and crumpled the short note and hurriedly called Jun’s aunt for confirmation. She told Cathy that when they parted, Jun resigned from his job and drunk heavily each day. He neglected his death as well as his body. Pneumonia had caused his sudden death. Jun’s aunt said that everyday and up to his remaining hours, all he wanted was to see you. During his final moments, while suffering from delirium, he even told us that he still loves you very much.
Sadly, Cathy’s parents wouldn’t allow her to go to his wake. She mourned quietly inside her room. There even came a point where she convinced herself that Jun wasn’t dead.
On January 1995, just before her birthday, Jun visited her in a dream. She dreamed that she was inside a hospital room. She was wearing a hospital gown and was sitting at the foot of my bed. Jun suddenly appeared before her, clothed in bright lights. They communicated mentally. She told him it wasn’t true that he was gone. Jun replied that she must accept the fact that he was already dead but it didn’t mean that he was leaving her. “I will always be beside you, guarding you,” he said.
Cathy cried saying, “I’m sorry I didn’t have the guts to fight for our relationship.” Jun comforted her and soothed by shrouding her with his bright light. The bliss she felt was interrupted by voice calling his name “It’s time for me to go,” Jun told her. “But what about me?” Cathy asked, tears in her eyes. ” I will be here for you always,” he replied,”and I will be waiting for you there and don’t ever forget that I love you very much.”
After saying this, Jun vanished before her eyes. She woke up crying. After this accident, Cathy finished began to accept Jun’s death and whenever she is depressed she feel Jun’s presence beside her and she know somehow out there Jun is still waiting patiently for her.
