I'm Back
___

Kusa na lamang tumulo ang mga luha ko nang masilayan ang bughaw na mga mata ng lalaking inaasam asam kong makita...

"P-Peter?..." umiiyak kong tugon.

Kumunot ang noo niya at agad akong hinila pataas.

"Ginger, don't do that again!" Just like before, pinagalitan niya rin si Ginger. What the hell is happening?

Nang makatayo ako ay agad ko siyang niyakap. Sinubsob ko ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya at tuluyan nang umiyak.

I can't believe this! Am I dreaming? Kung oo, please don't wake me up yet! Let me stay in this dream for a while!

"Peter...you're here, y-you're alive!"

Napakalas ako sa yakap ko nang marinig ang pag-aray ni Peter. Nakahawak na ang mga kamay niya sa kanyang ulo habang namimilipit sa sakit.

"Baby, what's wrong? Tell me..." nag-aalala kong tugon.

Napatigil siya at napatulala lang sa sahig na para bang may inaalala.

"Peter.."

"Baby..."

Paulit-ulit kong tinawag ang pangalan niya. What is happening with him?

I tried to contact Commander Jensen, Commander Mitts or anyone pero walang sumasagot.

"Help! Anyone! Please!"

"Peter..."

Bigla ko nalang narinig ang isang pamilyar na kanta na umalingawngaw sa buong lugar...

Our wedding song....

PETER'S POV

Tumakbo ako at mabilis na hinagit ang kamay ng babae bago paman siya mahulog.

I don't know but this scene feels like deja vu.

Nagtaka ako nang gulat siyang napatingin sa akin.

God, do I know her? Her face... It feels like I've known her for so long.

And what do these heartbeats mean? They're so fast. This girl I am holding right now is probably part of my past.

I lifted her up. Napatigil naman ako nang agad niya akong niyakap ng mahigpit. I could feel her heartbeat against mine. Something in me was craving for this hug for a long time.

Nang marinig ko siyang umiyak at sinambit ang pangalan ko, bigla nalang kumirot ang ulo ko dahil sa pagbalik ng malalabong alaala. Napahawak ako sa ulo dahil sa sakit nang iba't ibang pangyayari at boses ang naririnig ko...

"A lost lady in my airship, how rare, who are you milady?"

"I'll never get tired of kissing this hand. The hand of a wonderful woman who saved thousands of lives."

"You're just imagining things, Commander."

"You know I'm falling for you hard, right Lieutenant Monzanto?"

"Flight Lieutenant Monzanto, will you marry me?"

"I love you so much Commander Armstrong, beyond the number of the stars from the galaxy..."

"I love you so much Peter, please, survive with me baby..."

"I love you, let the sky cross our paths again..."

"Peter! Please! No---"

"Please don't stop. Don't stop baby..."

"Peter!"

Everything went back to normal. All I can hear is a song that brings thousands of memories, and the voice of this woman in front of me.

🎶 Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano,
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know 🎶

Habang pinapakinggan ko ang lyrics ng kanta, unti-unting lumilinaw ang mga alaalang pilit kong ibinabalik ng halos dalawang taon...

Hindi ko na napigilan ang mga luha ko.... I remember her.

🎶 Cause a bottle of vodka still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
Cause I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead 🎶

I know her. So damn much. I remember everything...

🎶 I wanna lay you down on a bed of roses🎶

She's that girl Commander Sanders said...

🎶 For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails..🎶

She's that brave woman Commander Jensen told me about

🎶 I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is...🎶

She's that woman Commander Mitts wants me to remember...

🎶 And lay you down....🎶

She's that same girl who keeps appearing in my dreams

🎶 On a bed of roses...🎶

I let my eyes roam around every part of her face. With this fast rate of my heart, I know I loved her very much.

Baby...

Those eyes and those lips...

"B-Behati..." I uttered.

My woman. My wife.

I'm back baby.
