" Kung sa panaginip akin ka, sa panaginip nalang ako titira."

"Babe! mahal! Huy! Ito naman tatampo agad eh. Joke lang naman yun eh pramis masarap." I said as i stuffed my mouth with food para ma convince siya na totoo ang sinasabi ko. I want to spit it out pero relasyon ata namin ang nakasalalay dito. Nakita ko namang ngumiti siya kaya napahinga ako ng malalim. 

"You like it? Oh so from now on I will cook our food na!" She excitedly said kaya mabilis kong nginuya ang pagkain sa bibig ko at uminom ng tubig. "Babe no!" napalakas ata ang pagkakasabi ko kaya napatingin siya ng masama sa akin. "Bakit?" Masungit niyang tanong. "Ah eh wag na ako nalang hon kase ano kase uhm ayaw kong mapagod ka, oo yun talaga yun ayaw kong mapagod ang babe ko." Pagdadahilan ko.

She looked at me like she was analyzing if  she'd be mad or not. In my head I was already praying and hoping na hindi ako matutulog sa sofa o sa labas. "You want me to be happy and not get mad?" tanong niya sakin kaya agad akong tumango. "Ofcourse hon" I replied.

"Then drink your meds hon" she said at nang lumingon ako sa table ay wala nang pagkain. Ang tanging naroon lang ay isang basong tubig at meds na nasa platito. Tears formed in my eyes and my lips quivered. "But-but I won't be with you anymore." I cried. "Tama na please, It's been months my love. Let's be together next time." She said as she kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes to feel the warmth of her kiss. 

A few minutes passed and i found my self drowsy with the medicine I just consumed. Humikab ako at nakitang natawa si Lea. "Sleepy?" Tanong niya sa akin pero umiling ako. I feel like my eyes could close at any moment yet I'm fighting it. Natatatakot ako.

She chuckled as she guided me to our bed. Humiga kaming dalawa at agad akong yumakap sa kanya na sinuklian naman niya. "My clingygine." She said and kissed my hair. I yawned as I felt myself ready to sleep. "Promise me babe." I said in my sleepy voice. "What?" She asked. "Promise me that when I wake up. You're still here, right here, beside me." I said to her. I felt  caress my face and kiss my forehead as she hugged me tighter. "I promise." That was the last words that I heard before I traveled to dream land. And honestly, the only thing I needed.

I felt the heat of sun on my face as I woke up. I opened my eyes slowly and fear crept into my system as I looked at my surrounding. Gone was the home I was in. The bed I adored and the woman I love. The walls were white as the ceiling. The bed and a table in the corner was the only thing in the room There's only one window that was out of my reach. And a door that was always locked. 

I know where I am. I recognize the four walls of this room. The blank walls that stared back at my blank expression. This is it. This is what I am afraid of. This is my worst nightmare. 

A nightmare that is unfortunately, the reality.

"You broke you promise babe." I whispered under my breath. 

"Again...." I said as I closed my eyes for darkness to devour my senses all over again.

Days passed and I am now in front of my psychiatrist. The  walls of my room I have always despised has now exited my vision. I am now in a room where in the color are not white. With more color and it felt more alive. It reflects the owner of the office. I looked at her blankly as she looked at me with so much sadness and worry. "You were asleep for quite a long time Reg. We had to put IV when we couldn't even wake you up. Imagine our shock finding you awake, sitting in your room and drinking your meds." She said to me.

"You made me." I said softly.

"Huh?" She asked, confusion is written on her beautiful face.

"You broke your promise babe, again." I muttered accusingly. I saw how realization hit her and she smiled at me apologetically.

"Was I-Was I in your dream?" She asked that made me remember the things I've seen, felt and experienced. "Yeah, you were happy, I was happy, I-I wish it was real." I said muttering the last words almost in a inaudible whisper. I smiled at her as a lone tear flowed down my face.

She looked back, realizing that my gaze was behind her. Napukol kase ang tingin ko sa picture frame niya.

At nang asawa niya. Her smile in that photo was the same smile I saw in my illusion. In my dream. "I wish it was me, instead of him." I said as our eyes met. "I wish I'm dreaming, again." I know we're long finished but I'm still stuck, stuck at the time. When she was still mine.

"Sedate me please. Let me be with you again. Let me dream again." I begged her as I looked in her eyes filled with tears. "No, I can't let you." Sabi niya. Umiiling siya na para bang isang malaking pagkakamali na patulugin ako. 

"Would you rather see me hurting awake, than seeing me happy asleep?" I said as I reached for her hand. "Babe masaya ka na, kasama siya. Pwedeng ako naman maging masaya, kahit sa panaginip lang makasama kita?" I cried holding her hand.

"I beg of you, let me dream." I said as everything blacked from too much emotion.

I opened my eyes and smiled as a familiar room  flashed in my vision. I'm back.

"Babe Breakfast is ready." I heard someone shout from the kitchen. I happily jumped out of bed and ran towards her. I hugged her tight as soon as I reached her. 

I'm home..............
