It all started with one kiss, but then it also ended there. Coming back to that place where it all happened, will you be able to find her again? And spend more time together this time around other than that one kiss?
Parang nauubos ang lakas ko to even walk close to him pero ginawa ko pa rin...
"Julio..." sambit ko holding his hands habang bitbit ko sa isang kamay si Mira...
"Julio naman wag namang ganito... Julio!!" Inis na sambit ko dito and I chose to lay my daughter down the chair na nasa loob nung kwarto
"Anong gagawin mo samin ng anak mo?? Ha?? Julio!! Bumangon ka dyan!!" Sambit ko literally sobbing holding his hands tight.
"Julio... bubuuin pa natin pamilya natin di ba?? Papakasalan mo pa ko di ba??? Naghintay ako Julio... naghihintay ako... please naman"
"Mam" sambit ng nurse but I cut her off
"No. Give me... please give me time with him... please... wag muna..."
"Pero mam..."
"That's my only wish!!! Yun lang!!" Sigaw ko sa nurse then she obliged... leaving me and my daughter with Julio
Pagkalabas ng nurse all I was able to do was sob... and pray at the same time. Andaming tanong sa utak ko... andaming bakit... andaming paano... pero mas lamang yung hiling... hiling na hindi lahat to totoo
"Waaahhh!!" I looked back at my daughter and she started crying as well. Lumapit ako dito to comfort her to stop crying but to no avail.
Hindi ko din alam anong pumasok sa utak ko that I lifted Miracle up and put her on her father's chest
"Hug your father one last time Mira... one last time"
2 months later...
Third person's PoV
Maya was at home, staring at the night sky still pondering on everything that has happened in her life. Punong puno ng masasakit na alaala. Pero marami din naman masasaya at magaganda.
Hindi niya lubos maisip pano niya kinaya... ang lagpas isang taong pagdurusa... ang lagpas isang taong puro sakit yung naranasan niya... in loving the only man she'll ever love in her lifetime.
She gently wiped her face with the tears that still keeps on flowing down whenever she looks back on all the she went through bago siya nakarating sa kung anong kinaroroonan niya ngayon.
"Naaalala mo pa rin ba yung nangyari?" Sambit ng isang boses na pumasok sa loob ng kwarto niya.
She wiped her tears at bago pa man siya nakaharap dito, she was hugged from behind and told the most comforting words she ever wished for
"Gone are the nightmares Maya... totoo na to... kumpleto na talaga tayo... buhay ako Maya... tama na okay? Wag ka nang umiyak..."
I faced him and hugged him tight... "sobrang natakot ako non Julio... akala ko... akala ko wala ka na talaga noon... akala ko maiiwan ako mag-isa, Julio"
"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry okay? I love you" sambit niya kissing Maya's forehead and hugging me tighter to make me feel him better
Flashback to that day in the hospital...
"Hug your father one last time Mira... one last time"
Labag man sa loob niyang bumitaw... she was already faced with the truth... wala na... wala na yung taong pinakamamahal niya.
Miracle on the other hand, slowly moves up to his father's face habang nakadapa at nakaalalay si Maya sa kanya. Like a normal baby would do, she tapped Julio's body repeatedly at umangat yun sa mukha ni Julio
"Aahh!!" Hindi maiwasang maluha ni Maya seeing how happy Miracle screams and looks while she lays on her father's chest. Walang kamalay malay ang bata na wala nang buhay ang ama ng mga panahong yun.
Hindi makayanan ni Maya ang nakikita so she chose to lift her daughter up and bring Miracle's face closer to Julio cheek as if giving his father one last kiss goodbye.
Pagkatapos nun, she was about to head out the room nang tumunog muli ang aparato na naiwang nakakabit sa katawan ni Julio.
Maya looked back and there she saw him move his hands and slowly open his eyes again.
