"Baby? Lilith!"
Napabalikwas ako ng bangon nang makaramdam ako ng pag-uga. Unang bungad sa pagdilat ko ang nag-aalala na mukha ng asawa ko na may panis na laway pa sa pisngi.
"Ang tanda mo na kung saan saan pa rin umaabot 'yang laway mo pag tulog," sita ko rito. Naupo ako sa kama at humikab. "Hanong ora na?"
Umakto ito na tila nababahuan kaya naudlot ang hikab ko at hinampas siya. "Kapal mo! Nag toothbrush ka na? Kita mo 'yang panis na laway mo oh, aabot na hanggang likod ng ulo mo!"
Natawa ito tiyaka ako niyakap at sumubsob sa leeg ko.
"It's still early. Let's go back to sleep."
"Eh bakit mo ako ginising?"
"You were crying in your sleep earlier. I got worried."
My lips parted as I try to remember my dream. "Right! I dreamt about you!"
Kali let out a soft giggle at nag inarte. "Kasama mo na ako araw-araw, katabi mo pa sa pagtulog, sinama mo pa ako sa panaginip mo. Hindi naman halatang patay na patay ka sa'kin nyan— aray!"
Piningot ko siya nang manahimik.
"It's more like a nightmare, gaga. You were a demon."
She dramatically gasped.
"Pero sinong mas demonyita sa atin?"
Nakatikim na naman siya ng pingot sa akin pero natawa lang siya.
"Okay, okay. You must be scared of your dream. Don't worry, I'm the purest angel in real life," malambing na saad nito tiyaka ako muling niyakap.
"Love, it wasn't scary," I said as I remember the dream vividly. "It was sad. You disappeared."
Her face softens as she looks at me. "Dreams are the opposite of what will happen in real life, right? That means I will never leave you in real life."
I nodded and smiled. "But it was really sad. It also felt so real."
"What happened?"
I told her the details I remember. She was just listening until the sun came up.
"You cursed me to always find who my heart seeks for every life I have." Tinignan ko ito at tinaasan ng kilay. "No wonder why we're married."
She laughed and gave me a peck on my lips. "I'd be glad to know we loved each other since our last lives, baby."
