Eight Days with my guardian Angel (short story/gxg)

The Perfect Day

Veronica

This is it! Huminga ako ng malalim sabay ipinikit ko ang aking mga mata. I want to feel the freshness of the air and feel how it makes my body shivers. The weather is perfect, maaraw pa rin kahit late in the afternoon na.

I took few deep breaths as I closed my eyes. I really love the sweet and woody smell of  flowers and the trees around me.

I gently listen to the noise around me habang nakapikit pa rin ako.

May mga nagtatawanan, nag-aasaran, may mga nagbebenta ng pakain at kung ano-ano pa. Para itong musika na kumikiliti sa aking mga tenga. I want to take this opportunity to feel that I am still alive. That I am still part of this universe. I want to feel that my senses are still functioning.

I opened my eyes and looked up the sky. Mapakaganda ng langit. Combination of different shades of blue with a touch of whites. Indeed, it's like a painter's masterpiece. I was standing at the edge of a dock facing the lake here at Burnham Park.

Sandaling sinandal ko ang aking sarili sa wooden fence nito para panoorin yung mga taong namamangka sa lake.

They looked happy and enjoying the moment with their friends and loved ones.

A genuine smile formed in my lips. I stretched my arms upward and took another deep breath.

"It's time", I said to myself as I grin naughtily.

I took out a bottled water from my sling bag and put it under my armpit as I reach for a small container from my bag.

"I never felt this happy before", I whispered as I put out the assorted tablets from the container.

It was a combination of Diazepam and Opioid.

I smell a sweet death and it feels like heaven. A total bliss.... And today is the perfect day to die.

Those white and blue tablets were already resting on my right hand now.

I took another deep breath before I motioned to put it all in my mouth but then...

"Shit! What a fuck!", napasigaw ako sa gulat ng may sumubsob sa likod ko na tao.

Nakita ko na lang na parang nag slow motion yung mga tablets ko na isa-isang nahuhulog sa lake pati yung bote na nasa paanan ko sumama rin.

In just a few seconds nasira ang lahat ng plano ko. A total disaster.

I am very disappointed.

I can't get over with those tablets kaya nakatitig parin ako sa lake. Nasira yung moment ko, ilang araw ko din inintay itong pagkakataong ito.

"I'm Sorry", sabi ng boses ng may kakagawan nito.

That stupid person really ruined my plan. I was about to end my life today at exactly 5:00PM.

"Who the fuck are you?"
