OS16: Darkest Nights

Darkest Nights

Napatingin naman ako sa madilim na kalangitan. I slowly smiled as the cold breeze of air have touched my skin. Mas lalo pa akong napangiti nang maramdaman kong nagsipatakan na ang butil ng ulan.

"Is this what you really want?", napasinghap naman ako saka lumingon sa kung saan nang may marinig akong boses.

"Is this what you really want Soleil?", rinig ko pang ano nito kaya napalunok ako saka hinayaan ang sariling maiyak.

"Matatapos ba ang lahat kapag gagawin mo ang iniisip mo?", tanong pa nitong muli kaya mas lalo akong naiyak.

"Pero pagod na ako.", sagot ko pa rito at bigla naman kumalma ang hampas ng alon ng karagatan.

"Pagod ka lang hindi ba? Then why don't you try to rest?", tumango naman ako.

"Pero--You're just trying to escapes from your reality my Soleil. Gusto mong iwan at takasan ang lahat.", ani pa nito kaya mas lalo akong naiyak.

"I thought you're a strong woman, hmm? Akala ko ba kakayanin mo ang lahat? Ba't ka tumatakas? Sol, learn to enjoy life and don't be pressured by what other people's expectations from you. That's your life, sa'yo iyan. Hindi kanila, always remember that. You may stumble for a few times, but always remember to stand up. There's nothing wrong about getting bruised kasi hihilom rin naman iyan.", tumango na lamang ako sa sinasabi ng boses. Kasi kahit anong gawin ko, he got a point right there. I was just trying to escape. I am being such a coward.

"Go home, Soleil. Everything will be alright. Matatapos rin ang lahat. Nandito lang ako. Even at your darkest nights.", huling rinig kong sinabi ng boses.

And the next thing that I knew, nasa hospital na ako. May nakakita raw sa aking palutang-lutang. And right at that moment, I've realized something. He saved me. Someone from above saved me.
