Epilogue
I look at myself in front of my mirror. I'm wearing a black dress partnered with my black pumps. I let my hair down. Today is the death anniversary of my mommy.
"Are you ready, Heaven?" my dad asked.
It's been months since that accident happened. I lost my memories but I remember my dad. I also remember my mommy... too bad she's gone now.
I put my headphones and play some music while were on the road.
I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met
Whenever I sleep, I always had a dream. A rest house in the middle of the farm. A guitar. And a man but he's face is kinda blurry.
And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you
I badly wanna remember.
I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met
I look at my mother's tombstone. There is a picture of her in there. I really look like her. I remember all the memories that we had. It makes me miss her.
"Hey, mom. Can you believe it mom? I slept for more than three months. I lost my memories but don't worry, I remember you."
My dad bought me back to our province since I always had a headache whenever I saw someone close to me in the past.
I remember the day that I finally woke up after that accident.
"There is one thing that Heaven taught me. You don't give up on the people you love."
I opened my eyes to see who's talking. Where am I? Who are this people? And why the hell are they crying?
When the man notices that I'm awake. He rushed to me then hugged me tight.
I hold my head when it suddenly aches. Damn! It hurts.
"Who the hell are you? Damn! You make my head hurts."
"Ha? Heaven... ako to si ----"
Maybe I had too much memories with them that it makes my head hurts.
While I was drinking my coffee my head suddenly aches. I close my eyes and I saw an imagine. Sourire. A coffee shop or I should say my coffee shop. I remember it now.
"Dad, may naaalala na ako."
"Really?! Should I call Y---"
"Pero hindi siya, daddy. Naalala ko lang na may coffee shop ako."
Napahawak ako sa ulo ko ng maramdaman kong parang binibiyak na ito. Then boom! Everything went black.
"Akala ko dati sa H nag-i-start 'yong Happiness sa U pala." sabi ng lalaking katabi ko.
"Ang corny, love! Ako meron ring pick up line!" masayang sabi ko.
"Oh sige! Parinig nga."
"Pinaglihi ka ba sa kalan? Kalandian."
"Alam mo ikaw! Pasalamat ka mahal kita."
I had dream again. Me and that blurred man. Lagi akong napapatanong sa 'king isip kung sino nga ba talaga siya. Bakit palagi siyang nasa panaginip ko? Ano ko ba siya?
I don't have anything to do so I decided to clean my room. Baka sakaling makahanap ako ng gamit na makakatulong sa akin makaalala.
Most of the things here is books. As expected. Kinuha ko 'yong favorite kong libro saka binuklat.
"What's this?" sabi ko sabay kuha sa nahulog.
It's a lyrics, I think.
Ganito man ako, simpleng tao
Ang maipagyayabang ko lang sayo
Pag-ibig ko sayo na 'di magbabago
At kahit na anong bagyo, ika'y masusundo
Ganito lang ako, simpleng tao
Na umaasa hanggang ngayon
While I was reading the lyrics a memory pop ups.
"Dali ito na 'yong rap! 1,2 and 3!"
Hindi mo naman kailangan na sagotin ang aking hinihiling
Nais na maparating
Na 'di na muli magdadaloy ang luha, pupunasan ng kusa
'Di kailangang manghula
Kahit na pamasahe lang ang palagi kong dala
Damn! I had an flashback about the past again. Who is that blurred guy? Is he the one that I love?
Bumaba ako para tanongin si Daddy kong meron ba kaming rest house sa farm. Sa tingin ko kasi kapag nagpunta ako doon ay makikilala ko na iyong lalaking nasa panaginip ko.
"Dad, may rest house ba tayo sa farm?"
"Oo. Gusto mo bang pumunta?"
Habang papunta ay nakarinig ako ng tumutugtog ng gitara. Akala ko ba ay sa amin itong kubo dito? Bakit may ibang tao?
"H-heaven?" tanong ng lalaki.
Siya iyong lalaking yumakap sa akin ng magising ako. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko ng sumakit ulit ito.
"Ahh!" sigaw ko sa sakit.
Agad lumapit sa akin iyong lalaki para yakapin ako.
"I wish I could take away all that pain. I wish I was the one who's hurting, not you."
"Why, Heaven? Why? That was for me. Why did you catch it love..." umiiyak na sabi niya.
"Please don't blame yourself, my love. It's not your fault." ani ko saka umubo.
"No. No. No. Love stay with me."
Yes, I'm still in pain but that's not the reason why I'm crying. I'm crying because I can finally remember him now. His hug made me remember.
"It breaks my heart whenever I see you like that." sabi niya.
He's the man in my dreams. He's the man who gave me a promise ring. He's the man who wrote that lyrics.
I remember catching a bullet for him. I didn't even hesitate, I ran as fast as I can to save him. And I did. I saved him. I saved the one that I love.
"I remember you know, love" I said and hugged him tighter than his hug.
"Joke time ba 'to? Huwag mo naman akong lokohin." naiiyak ng sabi niya.
I kiss him in response.
"Why didn't you gave up on me?" I asked.
"Did you know? That you taught me one thing and that is we don't give up on the people you love."
Now that I remember him, I'll love him more than ever. He deserves it. He deserve all the good thing he could have.
It's all worth it. Our sacrifices, all the tears and those fights. After all that has happened it only proves us that Our love cannot be ruined by this Lethal Boundaries.
