"Mom."
"Mom, I want to die." Walang buhay na sambit ng isang lakaking nakaratay sa kaniyang kama.
Mabilis namang napailing iling ang babae sa sinabi ng kaniyang anak. Alam niyang nahihirapan na ang anak niya at gusto na nitong mamatay, pero bilang isang Ina, sino nga ba naman ang gustong mawalan ng anak?
The guy smiled pitifully. Halatang pagod na pagod na ang mga mata niya at napakalayo narin ng kaniyang tingin.
"W-Wala na siya sa tabi ko, Mom. She must've been scared to be alone again."
The woman closed her eyes. She knows how his son loves her woman.
She knows how he regrets it too well.
To the point that it slowly killing him.
Bakit nga ba hindi nalang sila pwedeng magsama? Bakit nga ba nangyari iyon sa kanilang dalawa?
She kissed the forehead of his son. Nakatulala parin ang anak niya.
"Hindi gugustuhin ni Emily na makita kang ganiyan. P-Please, live son."
"Mom. Please pabayaan niyo na ako."
"She's there Mom. Nandoon ang asawa ko."
A tear escaped from the man's eyes.
"Even if it's not real, atleast I saw her again. I had the chance to have...
A glimpse of her."
"Jess, hindi na ba talaga pwede? Pagod kana ba talaga anak?"
Her son just stared at her and smiled happily. As if his gloomy face was gone in an instant.
"Mom, I'm happy to be able to be with them again."
"C-Can I visit my wife and my daughter for the very last time?"
Even if she doesn't want to let go of his son, alam niyang wala siyang karapatan para pigilan ito.
She knows how determined his son is. He would do everything just to get what he wants, even if the consequence is way too cruel.
"J-Jess, if this is what you want,
Mom is willing to support you. Be with them. Alam kong pagod na pagod kana."
She hugged her son with full of love. She doesn't even know when he'll be gone or if this will be the last hug that she's going to have with her only son.
After three years of waiting, Jess Lawrence is finally free again.
_________________
After three years of pain and waiting, I finally managed to visit where your true body lies.
It's my first visit since I didn't have the chance to join to her funeral.
Magkatabi pala sila ni Baby Emma.
I caressed her tombstone, "Hi hon. Nandito na ako."
It's only the silence that greeted me.
I honestly thought that seeing her in this way wouldn't hurt me anymore since I have the plan to join her sooner.
Pero iba parin pala. Iba parin pala kung nabuhay talaga silang dalawa ng anak namin.
"H-Hon, alam mo ba....hanggang ngayon umaasa parin akong panaginip lang muna ang lahat."
"T-That, you are still alive, I'm still hoping that you are well, Em."
I smiled bitterly and closed my eyes. The tears is still falling from my eyes. Non-stop.
"Emily, Emma. I'll go with the two of you."
I love you.
I also offered her the flowers that she once love.
If we can't have the life that we've wanted this time,
I'll just end my life again and again, until I can meet you again Em.
Even if it's in another life or in another side.
Or even if it's the place of no return. As long as it's with you, hon. Let it be the end of everything, as long as I'm by your side.
