HER Point Of View

Two years later. . .

MAHIGIT dalawang taon na ang lumipas pero parang ilang buwan lang iyon. Sa sobrang bilis ay halos gusto mo nalang hatakin pabalik ang oras and change everything in the past. But who can stop the time? Wala. Kahit sino man.

"Staring for nothing is like from two things- it's either you're spacing out or something is bothering you. Which one could be?" a familiar voice said from behind me. Tumabi ito sa akin.

I walk alone from home at napadpad rito sa isang park na puno ng masasayang pamilya, I envy them. How come they have a perfect family? How come I don't?

I heard him sighed. "Anong parte ng buhay mo ang pinaka pinagsisihan mo?" he asked again, I turn to look at him. He was looking at me with those intense and curious eyes. Ano naman kayang pakulo nito kung bakit tinatanong niya ako?

But I remained silent for a moment. Ano nga ba?

"Hindi ko alam." dahil hindi ko talaga alam. Wala naman akong pinagsisihan sa naging buhay ko na. I can't escape this life kahit pa gustihin ko. Hahabulin lang ako ng anino nito.

"What an answer. Pero hindi iyon ang gusto kong marinig mula sayo. Maybe you can't answer me right now but when you are ready and you know the answer, I am just here to listen." wika niya at kinuha ang kamay ko na nakapatong sa bench.

May inilagay siya sa palad ko at tiningnan ko kung ano iyon. "Susi? Para saan?"

"Well, alam ko namang hindi ka pinahihiram ng motor kaya't yung sa akin nalang ang gamitin mo." he stood up and walked away.

"How about you?"

He stopped from walking but he didn't turn to me. Sinipa nito ang isang maliit na bato sa harapan nito. "I'll be fine. I think mas kailangan mong mag unwind ngayon. You are loaded of your invisible problems and you need to let out your feelings before that breaks you apart. I can see you everyday, you can't hide the pain forever. You can conceal a scar but you can't fix what's already broken. Go, you badly need it." he told me and left.

"I don't know how I can repay you all with this kindness..."

I stood up and went to find the motorcycle. Agad akong sumakay ng makita iyon, I grinned. Bagong bili ang motor na ito and surely it cost a fortune. Siguradong magwawala ang may-ari nito kapag nagasgasan ko ito. Isinuot ko ang full face helmet and drive away with no particular direction.

What happened to my life after two years was a miracle. Hindi ko alam kung paano at bakit Niya ako binigyan ng pangalawa pang buhay. But I was thankful I have this chance to live again, even though some things have changed. They told me I was comatose for six months, that I was already on the edge of dying because of the wounds, broken bones and burnts that I got from that incident. I was severely injured. That time, I already accept the fact that I will never be able to see the sun rise again. So it was a total miracle that I am still alive. I still have those scars on some part of my body.

For the past two years too, wala akong balita kung ano nang nangyari sa Mafia organisation. It's not that I didn't care about them, they just didn't let me go back. They said it's too risky and yes, I think so too. Siguro kapag handa na ako, kapag kaya ko nang haraping muli ang unang buhay na meron ako noon. Babalik ako, my Grandfather once told me about nung panahon na comatose ako...
