Dedicated to Demisse kasi as usual all the way ang support niya. Maraming salamat sis.
Chapter 1.
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye."
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
From my peripheral vision, I saw something.
Sa may likod ng isang puno I saw a figure of a man. Medyo malayo ang puno kAya hindi ko maaninag ang mukha ng lalaki and I cannot be mistaken that he is looking at me. More like watching me.
He is wearing a black jacket and a black pants tapos may cap and shades pa siya.
I may not see his face clearly but his build, the way he stand and the way my heart beats faster remind me so much of.....
"Johann...." I said softly.
I walked towards the guy disregarding the rain na unti unti nang lumalakas.
And to my astonishment, nung makita niya akong papalapit, tumalikod siya at nagmamadaling umalis.
I ran after him pero lalo lang niyang binilisan ang lakad niya.
Then it dawned on me.
Why am I running after someone I don't know?
Bakit ko inaakalang si Johann ang lalaking yun when Johann is already dead.
Am I losing my mind?
Napaupo ako sa realisasyon na yun.
Then my tears started to fall. Kasabay ng paglakas ng ulan ang pagbagsak ng mga luha ko.
Kasabay ng mga kulog ang hagulgol ko,
Wala na akong pakialam kung basang basa na ako ng ulan.
