It Started with a Dream (AshMatt) - Completed

Chapter 54 ~ Stay With Me

It’s been two days na inaalalayan nya si Matt at minamasahe ang paa at binti nya. Nakakalakad na sya at naibalik na ang lakas nya physically. Doon na rin si Sarah nagpapalipas ng gabi sa kwarto nya sa bahay ni Matt. She took care of him like a kid. Every morning, she helps in cooking at nagpapaturo ng mga recipe ng mga favorite na food ni Matt, sa afternoon naman, kapag dadating ang therapist, naandoon din sya para tumulong; kung wala naman, nagsusulat sya ng kanta kasama si Matt kasi nakasanayan na nila yun noon, baka sakaling maaalala ni Matt; sa gabi naman, either movie marathon or pagbabasa ng libro ang ginagawa nilang dalawa. Last night, she chose to tell him stories bago matulog. Yung mga stories na hindi nacapture ng camera ng phone nila, yung mga moments nila together na hindi nakita ni Matt sa gallery nya.

[Last Night]

“I knew na that time na ayaw mo nang maging friends na lang tayo. Ramdam ko na. You said na sana dumating yung time na friends turned to lovers tayo, and I said “Okay! For now, friends muna tayo” . You smiled, at nahuli mo sa answer ko na may chance ka so kinulit mo ko at tinanong kung may chance nga ba.” She said while folding some of his stuff in the side table sa bedroom ni Matt.

“Hmmm. I think binawi mo yung sinabi mo no?” he said.

“No! (smiles) Siguro kung ako yung Sarah na naiisip mo dyan sa utak mo, yung Sarah na hindi mo pa masyadong kilala, yan talaga yung una mong maiisip na ginawa ko after mong itanong kung may chance ba. Actually, I told you to read between the lines. (smiles) And after that, hindi ka nakatulog at tinext mo ko ng madaling araw. We also talked hanggang umaga. (smiles) For sure naman na hindi mo yun  naaalala ngayon pero I just wanna tell you that we have “that thing” na hindi mo naimagine na ganun pala talaga tayo. Na nagsimula pala tayo as friends, to bestfriends bago ka magdecide na ligawan ako. (smiles)”

“(smiles) I really want to remember things. Lahat-lahat! I’m sorry for this Sarah, I’m sorry kasi hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin.” He shook his head.

(a/n:  Matt, try mong basahin yung Chapter 7 to 8, maaalala mo :P)

“I understand. (smiles) Baka you’re sleepy na, lalabas na ko para makapagpahinga ka.”

“No, magkwento ka pa please!” he said cutely at yung face nyang ganun ang weakness ni Sarah kapag may tampuhan silang dalawa.

“I miss you so much Matt. How I wish I could pinch your cheeks and nose, bite your chin and kiss your lips liked I used to do. I miss you badly love.” She thought while looking at his face.

“Wait lang may kukunin ako.” She excused herself . Dali-dali syang pumunta sa entertainment room at kinuha ang gitara ni Matt.

“You remembered naman noong umattend ka ng kasal ni Yeng di ba?” she asked before sitting beside him on the bed.

“Yeah! (smiles) I knew the time when I talked to Yeng and congratulated her. I also bond with your friends doon.” He answered.

“But you didn’t remember me giving my speech sa reception nya. I’m with you kaya! (smiles) Your selective amnesia filtered me from the whole scene. Tsk. By the way, she sang her “Ikaw” that time and you said na ako yung naiisip mo kapag napapakinggan mo yung song nya. (smiles)” she said. Halata sa mukha ni Sarah ang lungkot habang kinakausap si Matt.
