Weeks have passed, and we haven't seen each other. I haven't seen her in school. I can't reach her. I haven't received any messages or texts. I kept on reaching her through calls or texts, but I had no responses at all. I'm getting worried. Their house is empty. I asked my mom about it, but she also has no idea. I tried to ask our class adviser for her whereabouts. But it was private. He only said that she's handling family matters.
I'm getting infuriated and anxious. I felt different emotions all at once. I feel like I'm going to puke. I'm going crazy.
Another day comes. Silence greeted my wake. There were no broomsticks knocking, nor was there the voice of a nagging lady outside my window. How many weeks have passed since the last time I saw her? Was it since we did her favor? That was a long time ago. I looked at the calendar. April 1st. Oh, it's her birthday! Well, technically, it's our birthday. We were an April Fool's baby, as she always says. I miss her.

I went downstairs. Then my mom popped out wearing a sad and devastated face. "Let's go to your room. I'll have something to give you," she said. I was confused and just went with it. I turned and retraced my steps. Went back inside my room, followed by my mom.
Then she handed me a paper bag. "This is from our neighbor. They said that I should give it to you," she stated. I received the paper bag and looked inside. I grabbed all the contents and put them on my table. There's a white box with a ribbon on top. There is also a small, folded piece of paper.
I took it first and unfolded it.
Star,
Happy April Fool's!
Happy 18th birthday to us!
I hope you live through it with a smile!
I'll always cherish you.
Love,
Luna

Those were the contents of the small paper.
Those words made me even more confused. My heart is loudly beating even more. After that, I opened the white box. There, I saw a scrapbook. I opened it and saw pictures of me and her. Creatively shows our photos from our childhood. Even from pre-school. It went on until a recent photo of ours showed up. I'm having a hard time processing this information. I already had a bad feeling, but these things keep adding up, and it makes me so miserable.
My hands were shaking almost non-stop while flipping the scrapbook. Then I noticed something in the box. I found a flash drive. I grabbed it with my shivering right hand. I dashed towards my PC and turned it on. I inserted the stick. My hands and feet were numb. I can't feel them anymore. Then, a folder appeared. Inside the folder, there is a lonely file. An audio recording. an untitled audio recording.

I played the audio.

I heard her gentle voice. Her soft, gentle voice
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR0iZIi84F
Hello! I'm Luna, and I'm here to deliver a news report!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7rb3lzFju
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ONE AND ONLY RELIABLE BUDDY IN THE WHOLE WORLD!
WOOT WOOT!
I hope you're eating your favorite dark chocolate moist cake like you always do.
Oh, for me? Thank you for the offer, but I'm good. I'm not really a fan of that taste. I am constantly tasting it every day.
But enough of that. I just want to thank the heavens that you exist. Also, I sincerely apologize for not attending my own party. Just kidding! Well, there are a lot of things I need to apologize for, you see. And that was the first.
You know I've not been around these past few days, right? Nowhere to be found. It's because I just became a superhero and I need to do my training. Just kidding! But I'm imagining the face you're making when you're worried about me. It's hilarious. But thank you. I can only imagine it because I can't.
This leads to the second thing. I'm sorry; I haven't told you about my cancer. I just don't want you to worry very much about my condition. If you did, we wouldn't have a great laugh. Tehee.
The third thing is that I lied about my boyfriend. The day before that is when I received the doctor's news about my worsening condition. It seems that I don't have much time left. I'm sorry. Though I had a great laugh at your reaction, By the time you heard about the "guy", your face was priceless! You should see it. Even though you tried to hide, all of it was leaking and transparent. That was fun.
Oh, the favor you say? Hello! It was to spend time with my favorite person. Gosh, the nostalgia I felt going to those places. And the memories I recalled. Such a sweet moment. You know what? If you weren't around, I may can't appreciate the life I had. So, thank you very very much!
Now I remembered, we were like eight years old? Hahaha, you thought that we were heroes and have to help those who are in need. It is our job to make people happy!
*Chuckle
We were silly back then. Also when I got a failing grade in math, when we were at third grade, you told me "It takes courage to sail uncharted waters." Snoopy, your favorite character. It made me happy.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUK0dpFtM7
You truly are a hero.

Her voice took over again.
Star, you know what? I felt anxious these past few weeks. I felt awkward, especially when I realized my feelings for you. As we grew up, everything was fine. Then suddenly, something in me shone whenever I looked at you. My love, my feelings—they became my uncharted waters. And my courage carried me through. I mustered up everything just to spend my last days with you.
Star, you are my uncharted waters worth sailing for.
It was a fun voyage.
I never regretted it, not even once.
Falling in love with you.

Buddy B-Day Project! That is the true name of our little project. Lame, isn't it? But you should thank me for it and be touched by my deeds.
Well, you might be pissed at this very moment at my teasing. I wish I could see it.
Star, even if you change, even if you ever change, you are you. So, hold your head up high. I'm not worried. I know you can.

Star, you know how the moon shines, right? It's because the sun bathed it in light. You are my sun, Star. You made me shine with your light. It guided me. You made me run. You made me laugh, smile, and cry. And it was so heartwarming.
It was you who made me realize that even the night can still be beautiful.
No, you made my nights beautiful.
Thank you for being there.
Thank you so much.
My Star in this harsh world

Hearing those voices, her crumbling voice mirrored her deteriorating health condition. My mind went blank. I can't speak. It seems my throat is blocked by something unimaginable. My voice is held by confusion, anger, and grief.
My heart beats nonstop. I feel like I'm under a violent storm. Next to the eye that offers calmness and peace. It's next to me, but I can never reach it.
Why did this happen?
I can't even...
