What did she mean by that?

I glanced on the lavender invitation on my right hand. Napaka-fashionable ng designs nito. May mga butterflies pa as a design and it is made of scented paper. Even though I’m afraid to see what’s written on it, I have to open and read this. May nagtutulak sa akin na buksan ko ito.

As I opened the invitation…

Nabagsak ito sa pagkakahawak ko. Nanginginig ang katawan ko. Napahagulhol ako nang makitang….

You are cordially invited to the most awaited special day, wedding day of Tristan Kurt Lee and Kaye Anne Alonzo on Sunday, May 3, 20*** at St. Francis Church.

“NO! NO! Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!” 

“CRYSTAL.. WAKE UP!!”

Naramdaman ko na may yumugyog sa braso ko. Napamulat ako at napatingin kay Kurt na nasa tabi ko. I immediately hugged him and buried my face on his bare chest. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang lakas ng pagtibok ng puso ko. Para na itong sasabog sa kaba. 

It was just a dream. Thank God.

“.. Okay ka lang, Crystal?” He asked worriedly while stroking my hair. Napatingin ako sa alarm clock na nasa side table. It is only 3:30 in the morning. Isang oras pa lang pala kami nakatulog.

“Are you okay?” He asked again. This time, sinisilip na ni Kurt yung mukha ko kaya tinatago ko ang mukha ko sa chest niya. Naramdaman ko na biglang tumulo yung luha ko. “Bakit ka umiiyak?”

I sniffed and faced him. Our faces are an inch apart. Hinaplos ko ang mukha niya para masiguradong totoo siya, na hindi niya ako iniwan, na nasa tabi ko pa rin siya.

“Buti nalang, panaginip lang..” I murmured. 

He smiled at me and kissed me on the forehead. Malakas pa rin ang kuryente ng pagdampi ng labi niya sa noo ko kaya napapikit ako, “I won’t ask what was your dream all about but… I assure you, dreams are opposites of reality..”

He gave me an assurance smile and kissed me softly on my lips. We smiled when our lips parted. Nabigla ako nang ibinaon niya ang mukha niya sa leeg ko at hinaplos haplos ang tiyan ko na nagbibigay na naman sa akin ng kakaibang sensasyon. Nararamdaman ko ang mainit niyang hininga sa leeg ko. Mind you, we’re still both naked under the sheets.

“..Now let’s sleep my baby love... Didn’t you get tired?

Coz’ you made me d-amn tired...”
