Sixth day on the island….
It’s a one fine afternoon… Hindi gaanong mataas ang sikat ng araw… The weather is just perfect… Nakahiga silang dalawa sa puting duyan na malapit sa dalampasigan… Nakatali iyon sa dalawang coconut trees na magkatabi…
Tahimik lang silang namamahinga at pinapakiramdaman ang paligid… It’s just so peaceful around them… They can hear the gentle breeze of the wind and the fresh dew of the seaside… as they hear the gentle waves splashing by the heated sand…
It’s definitely a one perfect afternoon… especially when the man right beside her is holding her hand so close to his… She just knows… Any day will always be perfect… as long as she’s with him… She smiled tenderly habang pinagmamasdan itong nakapikit…
Her husband has these long eyelashes na bumabagay talaga sa brown eyes nito… One of the reasons kung bakit madali siya nitong napapakilig… One look from him and she’d just smile and feel butterflies on her stomach… Ang ilong naman nito ay talagang matangos na halatang namana naman ng kanilang anak… And his lips… Should she say more about his lips?…
Those lips are the ones who wake her up every morning… And when she opens her eyes, she’d see him smiling happily at her… as he’d greet her and bring her breakfast in bed…
Gino: Why don’t you just kiss me, babe?... Kanina ka pa nakangiti habang tinitingnan ang mga labi ko…
Nakapikit pa rin ito…
Mikay: Pano mo alam? Nakapikit ka naman ah…
Gino: Akala mo lang ‘yun… But I’m always looking at you… I told you that before, right?
Iminulat na nito ang mga mata… And he smiled at her… Sinuklian naman niya ang ngiting iyon…
Mikay: How I wish we’re always like this... ‘Yung walang pressure from the real world… Gusto ko ito na talaga ‘yung maging mundo natin…
Gino: Gaya nga ng sinabi ko… We always have a choice, right?... You can easily make this your real world, Mikay… Kung gugustuhin mo lang…
Napatango naman siya…
Mikay: You’re right… And I already made a choice…
Gino: What do you mean?
Mikay: You know how happy I am when I’m always with you… Masyado akong masaya na pakiramdam ko… nagiging hadlang na ang trabaho sa kasiyahan ko…
Tila naiintindihan na nito ang ibig niyang sabihin…
Mikay: That’s why I’m quitting showbiz…
Gino: Pero, Mikay… hindi mo kailangang gawin ‘yon…. I told you that I’m always gonna support you, right? Mikay, pangarap mo ‘yan… Hindi mo kailangang bitiwan…
Umiling siya…
Mikay: Una sa lahat, hindi ko pinangarap maging artista… Ginawa ko lang ‘yun dahil kailangan… Kailangan kasi… iniwan ako ng taong pinakamamahal ko… Ang taong pinangarap kong makasama habang-buhay… Pero ngayong nasa tabi ko na siya, handa na akong iwan ang mundo na pilit kong binuo… nung mga panahong wala siya…
Dinama nito ang kanyang pisngi…
Gino: I’m sorry for ever leaving you…
Mikay: No, never say sorry… Just say thank you… Because destiny always seems to have its way of bringing us back together… And we should never have regrets… When you left, I learned to stand on my own… It taught me a lot of things… It taught me hardships, pain, sorrow, and triumph… Pero sa kabila ng lahat, naging buo ako bilang si Mikay…
