Love At First Heard

"Can you send me the presentation?" Dustine asked through video call. "And by the way, congrats for passing the exam. You're going to be busy for a whole day."

"As always," I replied and send him my presentation.

"It's really your fashion ah!" Biglang singit ni Nj sa video call kasama si Nico. "Send me the blue print, Madame!"

"It's nice seeing you, Ms. Maramira!" I laughed, hindi ako sanay sa mga tinatawag nila sa akin.

They congratulate me and tell me some tips para hindi raw ako mahirapan sa bagong kompanya na pinag tatrabauhan din nila. Pinagkaiba nga lang, hindi ako engineer tulad nila.

Maya-maya pa ay nagkaroon din agad ng meeting kasama silang tatlo at iba pang tiga engineering department.

It's been a long time, and I finally got my dream job. I always want to be like this since I was elementary. I can't believe after what happened 9 years ago I'm still going to achieve my dream of being an Architect.

But the fact that I'm still hoping to see him still bothering me until now. It was really just a pure dream, from the start. I tried to find him, only to figure out that he's not existing.

I never imagined that I'm going to experience those things. From the first day I heard his voice, meet him virtually and personally... that was just a pure dream!

I almost lost fashion, my life because of what happened. I'm still bothered about my past. Para bang kahapon lang nangyari ang lahat. Just what if... what if he's still inside of that dream? waiting for me..

Paano kung tulad ko, napasok lang siya sa panaginip na iyun dahil unconscious din siya tulad ng nangyari sa akin? just what if...

Beep beep beep...

That's the only thing na naririnig ko habang patuloy na inaaninag ang nakapa ikot sa akin. I'm confused as I felt the tube inside my mouth, at my hands. Machines and other things around me feels weird.

"Marem?" I'm having a hard time looking where that voice come from. "Marem, ako ito si Mama mo!" She shouted and try to hug me carefully before she call the Doctor and Nurses.

"M-Mama," I cried as I remember what happened. "A-Acedhelo, saan po siya? Si Acedhelo po?" I'm really worried about him. Dapat ako lang ang na aksidente, why did he try to save me?! "M-Mama!"

"Marem, I'm sorry, but I don't know who's your talking about. But I'm glad that you're finally awake! Oh God!" She hold my hand as the door open.

"Ma, si A-Acedhelo po na saan na po siya?" I insist. But she look at me worriedly. "Ma, kumusta po siya? O-Okay lang po ba siya? A-Ano po ba sinasabi niyong hindi n-niyo po siya kilala?" Tuloy-tuloy ang pagsasalita kahit hirap dahil sa tubong nakalagay sa bibig ko.

But the Doctor try to talk my mother and say something I can't accept. "Don't worry, It's normal for her to act like that and remember someone from her dreams. She's dreaming thw whole time. Almost 5 years din siyang comatose because of that accident, try to understand her situation. Expect her to say names and things that she never encountered."

"N-no, no, no!" I tried to move and scape from them. But as I try to remove the tube inside my mouth, they inject something to my wrist that makes me feel weak. "M-Mama..." I whispered and fell asleep.

I carefully hold the necklace I'm wearing. He really gave me this necklace so paano ko siya makakalimutan. How can I believe that it was just a pure dream, if there's an evidence?

"Architect Marem! Done checking! Your design is very realistic and out of this world." My business partner complimented me because of my artwork and I gladly said thankyou. First day ko pa lang sa bagong kompanya na pinasukan ko ay agad na akong napuri.
