Forbidden Love

Epilogue

"Kumusta ka na?" I asked her handing her a bouquet of roses. "Pasensya ka na ngayon lang ako nakapunta ha? I've been busy lately" I added as I caressed her. Her urn. "Miss na miss na kita" I tell her with a cracking voice as I remove my shades and wiped my tears away.

"Surprise!!" I happily shouted making her look at the beautiful view of the seaside in Batangas. Carrying her in my back, I glanced at her and saw her saccharine smile which made my heart melt.

I put her down and we both sat on the grass with our eyes focused on the beautiful God's creation in front of us. I stared at her for a while. She's so beautiful. She looks like she's not suffering from a sickness. I still hope that He will not take her from me.

"Hey!" I called out when I noticed that she's not talking since we got here.

"Thank you, Anne!" she tells me before she locked eyes with me. "Thanks for this"

"Ako pa ba?" I tell her as I tucked her messed hair on the back of her ear. "Eh 'di ba sabi ko naman sa'yo, gagawan ko ng paraan 'to? Hayaan mo, for sure naman 'di ka pagagalitan sa bahay eh. Ako lang. Saka ayos lang naman sa'kin 'yun as long as I make you happy" she chuckled and rested her head on my shoulder.

"Ang swerte niya noh?"

"Hmm? Sino?"

"'Yung susunod na mamahalin mo" she tells me and glanced at me for a while before she rested her head on my shoulder again. I took a deep breath, trying to control my emotions

"Ganu'n ba talaga ka-higad ang tingin mo sa'kin? Na feeling mo lalandi lang ako nang lalandi?" I joked just to tone down our conversation. She chuckled and held my hand.

"Anne," she started. I took a heavy sigh again. "Please, promise be that you'll be happy even if I leave you"

"You know that it's not possible." I tell her right away.

"Lahat naman sa simula mahihirapan e. Mahirap makalimot, mahirap magmove-on pero 'wag ka pa rin magsalita nang tapos." She tells me and sat up straight. She let me place my head on her shoulder as she continued her speech. "Anne, don't close your doors. Ang bata bata mo pa, marami ka pang makikilala. Don't stop yourself from loving anyone. Okay?"

"Alam mo, naiinis ako sa'yo 'pag kinakausap mo ako nang ganyan. Can we just...just be happy? Let's just be in love, be free." She shook her head and cupped my face.

"You have to accept this" she tells me seriously, emphasizing every words. I gulped and avoided her eyes."Do you remember our conversation regarding the sunset?" she suddenly asked. I remained silent as I try to remember those times. "'Di ba sabi mo, you love the sun, you love me, but you'll love me even more if I'd have the courage to tell you what I feel..'di ba?"

"I love you and I'd rather not hear you uttering those words to me that seeing and feeling that you will leave me."

"Annie..."

"Eh ayan ka na naman eh!"

"Patapusin mo muna ako, pwede?" she said and sat up straight. "Remember when I asked you about loving the moon instead?" I get what she meant by that. She want me to learn to love again after she has left me. She want me to be happy with someone else because she thinks I'll never be happy with her.

"When the sun goes down, it will be dark..it's.. it's the same as you leaving me...I .. I just can't imagine... K, I'd be in..."

"You'll not be in total darkness, Anne..."

"STOP!" I tell her. "And then what? Sasabihin mo sa akin na kaya nga may buwan, may liwanag pa rin ganu'n ba? Karylle, you know that there's a big difference! Don't make me realize that when you leave me, my life will be and shall be the same! It would be different. It would be totally different." she sighed and suddenly laid on the grass.

"I'm not arguing" she hissed. I wiped my tears away and there was a moment of silence between us before I decided to lay beside her. I held her hand and simply stared at her. "Just like the sun," she started again. "When I leave, you may not be able to see me, but I am just on the other side of the world." she said. "I may not be beside you but I'd still be with you. I'd be guiding you from above." she added. "I promise." I decided not to answer her. I don't know what to tell her anyway.

"K?" I called out several minutes later. I turned around to take a look at her. "K? Karylle!?"

"Shh.. natutulog lang ako" she whispered with her eyes closed. "I love you, sorry na kung naiinis ka na sa mga sinasabi ko" I leaned closer to her making our face just an inch away from each other.

"You're the most beautiful woman I have ever known" I said. She chuckled.

"Sinasabi mo 'yan sa lahat ng babae mo eh."

"Hmp! Bahala ka kung ayaw mo maniwala." she laughed again and sat up. She pulled me closer to her.

"Ako, may sasabihin din ako" she leaned closer to me and whispered: "Ikaw lang ang bukod tanging minahal ko sa mundong 'to" she kissed me on my cheek and hugged me. "I'm sorry if I didn't tell you right away about my condition. I'm sorry for pushing you away. I'm sorry for lying to you about my feelings. I'm sorry about everything. I love you so much Anne, and I will love you until I die."

"Why do we have to end up like this? Why can't we be together? Why did destiny forbid us?" I kept on asking while crying on her chest. "I love you so much. I don't want you to leave me."

"At first, I thought this love, our love, could be considered as forbidden because we're sisters" I started and chuckled. "Pero sabi ko nga 'di ba? Hindi naman tayo totoong magkapatid, 'di naman tayo magkadugo.. and then I thought about it once again, maybe it's a forbidden one because we're of the same sex.. but hell no! Of course not, why would it be? Masyado naman yata tayong nabubuhay sa nakaraan kung 'yun 'yung iisipin nating dahilan..." I tell her and closed my eyes, hoping that she will make me feel her.

"They say that love is blind. love is genderless.. love knows no limits.. love is never wrong... and love is where we belong..but when can you say that love is a forbidden one? Do you know what made ours a forbidden one? It's because I am a human, just a human, who is in love with an angel guiding me from the heaven's above"

"I love you, still love you, and not even death could ever change that..."
