MY HEAVEN
I was in the middle of representing our presentation in the meeting when my phone rang.
I simply looked at my phone and her name was on the screen.
I was having second thought of answering the call but in the end I ignored it.
I continued what I am doing earlier.
And in the end, I finally made it.
Our boss liked the presentation and he congratulated me.
Everyone congratulated me.
I was so happy and finally want to call her back.
I'm going to surprise her with my promotion
I'm going to ask for forgiveness
And I'm going to explain why I didn't answered her call
Maybe she will forgive me
I called her.
RING...
RING...
RING...
"hello?" unknown male voice
"who is this?" I asked.
"Sorry, the owner of this phone is in the hospital. Naaksidente po siya. Can you please come here?" he told me where hospital and I ended the call and went to hospital right away.
I was praying that she will be okay for many times.
And I promised I will make up with her with everything.
Marami akong pagkukulang sa kanya
I will be a good boyfriend to her.
So please wag mo muna siyang kunin sa akin..
When I arrived in the hospital,
They told me that she didn't make it
They told me when did it happen
And it was after she called me.
I thought the world stopped spinning.
I don't know what to think.
They brought me where she was
I cried when I saw her.
I can't forgive myself
If only I answered her call then maybe she's still here...
I hugged her tightly and cried
And asking for forgiveness as if she could hear me...
" I am so sorry. Please wake up. Come back to me. Don't leave me. I love you, baby. Please Open your eyes for me. Please, I'll give you everything! just open your eyes!"
I cried while hugging her so tight.
I didn't get to see her smile for the last time
And she left me like this. Dying.
****
After one year.........
"I'm leaving...."
"I'll be back soon, so....."
"No......."
"Don't you know how much I love you?"
"I love you............"
And she disappeared in my sight.
I just woke up from that dream which haunts me since the day she died
