ELECTRIC LOVE

PROLOGUE

" Once upon a time, there is a princess who lives in a palace near on the forest. Her family loves her so much, because she is kind, cheerful, and pretty child. "

"...all of her wants is always granted by her grandfather who own a big farm on their country. He really love the beautiful smile of her grand child that's why buying her a gifts, foods, and toys is not a problem to him."

"Just like lolo rere?"

"Yeah, just like lolo rere."

Nakangiting kong pahayag sabay hagod sa kanyang buhok na ikinangiti nito.

"Her mother is the one who always comb her hair and tell a story every time their going to sleep. And her father is the one who always by her side every time they want to visit their livestock and hunt some fish. While her brother..."

Akin udlot sa sasabihin habang nakatingin lang sa hawak kong libro, matapos kong banggitin ang katagang iyon.

"What's with his brother, ruru?"

Pagkaraan pukaw naman nang aking kasama nang mapansin nya atang matagal akong nahinto saking pag k-kwento.

Isang taimtim lang naman na ngiti ang aking binalik, nang bumungad sakin ay ang nag tataka nyang titig.

"Hmm...h-her brother is the one who love her the most...He always enjoy to share his knowledge on her lil sister, and love to play in their grandfather's farm if they have some time...

The life of this girl is like a paradise, with a pure heart and sincere approach of her family, which make her feel contended...The end..."

"Its already end, ruru?"

"Yeah..."

"Why is it end already?"

"That's because it is only a story, Yoyo..."

"Ganun po ba talaga ang mga story? Mabilis po matapos?"

"Yeah...every fairytale story is always have an happy ending, and somehow mabilis nilang na aayos ang problema..."

"Is it because they have a super powers and a fairy god mother?"

"Yeah... But the real answer is, they're came from imagination..."

Which is partly true. Hindi lahat ng storya ay naba-base sa naririnig, napa-panuod at na e-experience sating paligid, dahil ang istorya ay madalas na nag mumula rin sa ating imahinasyon, na kung saan sila ang naka-katulong upang tayo'y makatakas sa brutal na reyalidad...

At malimutan, pagtakpan, baguhin... ang mga sugat na iniwan nang nakaraan...

"Ruru..."

"Hmnn?"

"Is it possible...na maka dalaw ako sa story ni princess?"

"Why?..."

"Its just...I feel comfortable...l-like i-its not scary..."

"Why? Did something scared you?"

"Not at all, Ruru..."

Maraan na iling nito, subalit habang pinag mamasdan ko ang kanyang mukha, halata sa kanyang mata ang lungkot na nadarama.

"Are you sure? May nangyari na naman ba? Sabihin mo sakin...I will help you."

Nag aalala kong tanong dito, pero imbis na sundin ako ay pilit na ngiti lang nito ang binigay sakin na mas lalo ko tuloy ikina-bahala...

"Hey, you know you will trust me right, tell me what happened?"

Akin pamimilit habang marahan ko pang hinawakan ang kanyang pisngi upang maingat na rin punasan ang luha na lumabas sa kaliwa nyang mata.
