To Adora, The Melting Dreams. (BOOK 1)

#25; Wake up

And look at his nose, bakit parang ngayon ko lamang napansin kung gaano ito katangos? At halos walang eyebags ang taong 'to. Tao pa ba siya o isang manika?

I can feel the soft breathing of Zoe in my face. Para akong hinihipan ng dahan dahan. Nakakakiliti ito kung tutuusin. The thing is that his breath doesn't smell bad nor good. Nasa in between kung saan normal naman iyon.

Napangiti ako sa naisip. Ang sabi sa mga novels ay amoy mint ang hininga ng mga lalaki pag-bagong gising but this is reality, and the reality is hindi amoy mint dahil hindi naman sila nagbuburo ng mint sa bunganga pag natutulog sila.

Their breath will surely smell normal. Like how Zoe's breath. That's how it supposed to be. Lesson learned, Hindi amoy mint ang hininga pag-bagong gising. Wag maging illusionist.

"Adora." He mumbled before he tucked his face on my chest, I got shocked and didn't even moved a finger. Jusmiyo Zoe! muntikan na 'yon sa--- sheesh, I don't even want to discuss this to him!

'Kalma, hindi naman dumikit diba? Kalma muna.' I chanted inside my head as I tried by best not to slap him suddenly.

"Adora hug me again." Paos ang boses nito, His morning voice is another shock to me. Isang matinding shock wave ang dala nito sa buong sistema ko.

"Huh? Umaga na kailangan mong gumising. isa pa, hindi naman kita yakap-yakap." I said, trying to calculate things.

"Dali na, please?" He said, cutely pleading for a mere hug. Napangiti ako, I pat his head instead of a hug.

"I said hug me, not pat my hair." He chuckled. Napairap naman ako sa narinig. Wow ha, choosy na rin si Zoe ngayon. I wonder what Fruga taught him while I work.

"Ang arte mo naman." Lumaki lalo ang ngisi ko. Well, things got comfortable right now, Atleast hindi na ako nagpapanic sa sobrang adrenaline rush.

The fact that we're this close to each other is such a huge comfort to me. Pagkatapos ng isang masamang panaginip ay ganito ang unang sasalubong sa akin. Atleast the Zoe I'm with is doing fine.

Though the 'other Zoe' is suffering, which doesn't make things any better for me. Kailangan kong makausap si Fruga sa lalong madaling panahon.

Lalo na't humingi ito ng tulong,

He said "Mayday." Before he extruded me out of my dreams. Mayday, he's asking for help.

And he wants to die too.

Does that mean Zoe will also die?

Napalunok ako sa sariling iniisip. I have to save both of them, I want to help Zoe. Ayokong mawala siya.

"Ano yung mayday?" Zoe suddenly asked. Pakiramdam ko'y binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig. Now he's asking what mayday means?

Does it mean some connection with his other half? No way.

"S-saan mo nalaman 'yan?" Nauutal-utal kong tanong dito. I suddenly feel scared of what might happen.

"Huh? From you. Kakasabi mo lang kanina nang tanuniGin kita kung anong oras tayo pupunta sa wedding na 'yun." He answered, napapikit ako at nakahinga ng maluwag.

Thank God. Akala ko naman tungkol na ito sa other half niya. Hindi ko na pala namalayan na kinakausap ako nito, I was too busy thinking about his other half kaya't hindi ko na napansin ang mga sumunod nitong tanong sa akin and I said it out loud nang hindi ko man lang napansin.

"Hmm, what wedding?" I asked, sabi nito'y pupunta kami sa wedding. Ano nanaman kayang naiisip niya ngayon at wedding ang nabanggit?

"Adora." Nag-angat ito ng tingin sa akin at nakakunot ang noo, he's pouting his lips and whims like a baby.
