My Lost and Found Love

Chapter 6 (Simply Finding Answers)

        KINABUKASAN ay maagang gumising si Lukass. Alas-sais pa lamang iyon ng umaga. Agad siyang bumangon at nag-ayos ng sarili.

Pakiramdam ni Luke ay uminom siya ng maraming energy drink dahil masigla talaga siya. He smiled at his reflection in the mirror. Last night, his prayers were answered. He should definitely be energized and feel happy today, and everyday.

Naalala na naman niya ang pagtatagpo nila ni Kairielyn kagabi sa band audition ng resto-bar ng Herms Hotel. Hindi siya maaring magkamali. She was still the Kairielyn he used to know; her brunette hair, almond-shaped eyes, and most of all, her scent and smile. She was his Kairie.

It is still a mystery to him why she hasn't recognize and remember him. At iba na ang pangalan nito.. She is now Primrose Luzano, a band vocalist, and living in a rural place. Wala siyang ibang gusto kagabi kundi ang yakapin ito ng mahigpit at huwag pakakawalan.

Muntik na niyang hindi makontrol ang damdamin niya. When Chuck, her bandmate, pulled her away from him, he felt the strong urge to punch him on the face. Pero ng tingnan niya ang mukha ni Kairie at makita sa mga mata nito ang pagkalito ay napatigil siya. Hindi siya nito talagang naaalala. Doon niya hinamig ang sarili at mabilis na inisip kung ano ang posibleng nangyari rito.

Maaring nagka-amnesia si Kairie at dito ito napadpad sa Baguio. Ang aksidente ay naganap sa bandang Bulacan, kaya doon talaga siya nag-focus sa paghahanap rito. Hindi niya inakalang dito niya ito mahahanap. It took him two years before he saw her again.

Nang makumpirmang hindi siya nito naaalala, napagdesisyunan niyang kumalma muna at mag-isip. Doon na nga muling tumugtog ang banda nito. And as he watch her, he thought of a good way to make Kairie remember him.

Hindi niya ito pipiliting alalahanin ang nakaraan nila, ang pinagmulan nito at kung sino talaga ito. Naisip niyang gagawin na lamang niya ang lahat upang mapalapit muling rito upang kusa siya nitong maalala. Ayaw niyang isipin nitong nababaliw na siya dahil sa ipinipilit niyang ito si Kairie at iwasan pa siya, kaya naman pipilitin niyang bumalik ang mga alaala nito ng paunti-unti. He would help Kairie, or Prim, as she called herself now, to heal the pain she had in her past. Alam niya kasing marami itong pinagdaanan noong si Kairie pa ito, kaya nga ito nagtangkang umalis noon at maaksidente. Siguro, kaya rin nito hindi matandaan ang dati nitong buhay ay dahil unconsciously, gusto rin nitong kalimutan na lamang talaga ang mga iyon. Sana lamang ay hindi siya kasama sa mga taong gusto na nitong kalimutan ng tuluyan.

Matapos maligo ay nagbihis siya ng pang-exercise niyang damit. Balak niyang pumunta ngayon sa gym ng hotel upang magpapawis.

I can feel old Luke is coming back.. Nasambit niya sa kanyang sarili. Yes, Lokey is coming back, for Kairie. Pakiramdam niya ay kaya na niyang harapin muli ang lahat ng may ngiti, dahil nahanap na niya si Kairie. He just have to make her remember their friendship, the memories they made together, and the love they hadn't shown to each other vocally.

He wouldn't forget the night Kairie admitted she loved him too. Iyon ang pinakamasayang gabi ng buhay niya, ngunit iyon din ang pinakamalungkot at masakit.

"I love you too, Lokey, not because youre my best friend and protector, but because you made me feel I'm worthy person; you believe in me and the things that I can do. You also made me feel I'm a woman.." Kairie's shaky and drunken voice echoed in his mind.

He closed his eyes. Kairie, I hope you'll find it in your heart and mind to remember me..

He knew one day it would come. He just have to wait patiently and find the answers why Kairie hasn't remember anything about her past. He wouldn't give up. Ngayon pa bang nahanap na niya ito kahit na akala ng lahat ay namatay ito sa aksidente? God made impossible things possible, and he was beyond thankful and blessed.
