Her black dress in his poem

Chapter 27

It's really true that time wasn't define by clock because if you're sad the time moves slowly and if you're happy the time flies so fast but if you're inlove the time never ends.

Tama nga yung sabi ni Mica na someday you will wake up na lang na sobrang mahal mo na yung isang tao bago mo ma realized na mahal mo na pala sya. I never thought one day I will love Lucas to the point that I will wear my best white dress to dance with him in a middle of a storm.

Times moves so fast in here mas mabagal daw yung oras sa universe ko pero na miss ko na yung mga taong naiwan ko doon pero babalik din naman ako doon pero hindi ko alam kung pano ko i- explain sa kanila ang mga nangyayaring to at hindi ko din alam kung maniniwala ba talaga sila sa tingin ko kasi hindi.

"Selene"

Narinig ko yung pangalanan ko and I know that voice. Boses yun ni Lucas kaya agad akong napatingin sa kanya tas tumingin sya sa direksyon kung saan may nakita akong babaeng robot at sa harap neto ay may mga palaka as in literal na palaka na may mga violen, guitar, drums at kung ano-ano pa na pwedeng gamitin para mag produce ng music.

Gusto kong tumawa dahil nakakatawa naman talaga pero na amazed din dahil kung pano nila ma train yung mga hayop sa ganon siguro baliw ka kapag ganon ka sa'min. Gusto ko na talaga tumawa pero syempre nasa ibang universe ako it means iba din sila dito at normal lang ito sa kanila.

"So weird"

Pabulong na sabi ko ih kasi sa universe ko it's impossible to train frogs para mag form ng parang banda ih tao nga sa'min nahihirapan ih mga palaka pa kaya. It's kinda surprising here how they trained animals into something spectacular.

"It may be looked weird but it's normal here"

Sabi ni Lucas kaya napatingin ako sa kanya na inilahad na nya yung kamay nya as if he's asking me to dance with him kaya ngumiti ako at hinawakan yun. We holds each other's hands habang yung isang kamay nya was placed on my waist and my other hand was on his shoulder.

When the music starts to play the chandelier above shines as bright as the way Lucas smile.I never expected that I will dance with him nor dreamed about it. Everything came unexpectedly and I never know how and when all I know is I fall in love with him everyday and I don't care what comes next it maybe sounds selfish but sometimes that's how love works.

We dance as if it's already our last dance. He hold my hand as if we're saying goodbye. I pray that one day if I meet love I can dance with a guy who look at me as if I'm the most beautiful girl in the world and that's how exactly Lucas look at me right now.

I heard the violin version of photograph by Ed Sheeran and I don't know how they knew it but I guess Lucas told them to play it. I smile widely knowing they used to play a music that came from my universe coz I'm unfamiliar to their songs here.

I can only maybe heard violin and guitar but I can still understand the music without lyrics coz our hearts sing the song.

I just close my eyes and imagine that Lucas was singing this for me.

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen, still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
Hmm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die
Hmm, we keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen, still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
And if you hurt me
That's okay, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages, you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Oh, you can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
And if you hurt me
Well, that's okay, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages, you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
"Wait for me to come home"

Now I understand why Cinderella forgot to go home at 12 midnight because if you're already dancing with the one you love you forgot that clock exist.

"not you're favorite song but that's the only song I know in your universe"

Napadilat ako ng mga mata ko when Lucas said that and we stop dancing but we are still holding each other. May be it's not my favorite song but for me it's the best one.

"Not now"

I said it and I really meant it. Maybe before it's not my favorite song but when we dance on it it's literally became my favorite one. It's not about the song it's about a person whom you dance with in this song.

Napansin kong napabitaw sya sa pag-hawak sa kamay ko at biglang hinawakan neto ang parte sa bandang dibdib neto na parang nakaramdam sya ng sobrang sakit kaya napatingin ako sa kanya ng nag-tataka and I am worried also dahil halatang sobrang sakit ng nararamdaman nya.

"Are you okay?"

Nag-aalalang tanong ko umayos naman ito ng tayo at ramdam ko ang pag-hinga neto ng malalim kaya mas lalo akong nag-aalala. He looks so pale at ngayon ko lang ito napansin ng tumitig na ako sa mukha nya. Namumutla sya at parang walang tulog at parang mukhang may sakit ito.

"I'm fine"

mahinang sabi neto at hinawakan ulit ang kamay ko and his hands were so cold at hindi ko alam kung anong nangyayari sa kanya.

"Lucas are you sure?"

Tanong ko kaya tumingin na naman ulit sya sa'kin at ngumiti na parang bumalik na ito sa normal pero hindi parin matanggal sa isip ko ang mag-alala sa kanya.

"I'm fine"

Madiin na pag-kasabi neto to convince me that he's really fine although parang ayaw ko namang maniwala sa sinasabi nya.

"Lucas"

Mahinahong sabi ko sa kanya at ngumiti sa kanya saka ko sinuklay ang buhok neto gamit ang mga kamay ko kahit na hindi ko sya maabot masyado coz he's so tall.

"I think I need to go home"

Tumahimik ang buong paligid at hindi ko alam kung bakit pero wala akong may naririnig na kahit ano kahit si Lucas walang reaction ang mukha neto parang wala nga syang may narinig sa sinabi ko.

"You'll come back here right?"

Tanong neto kaya tumango ako because I will comeback in a place where he is kahit saang universe pa yan. I will find him kahit saan pa sya itago ng tadhana. I didn't even know na kaya kong mag-travel to every universe para hanapin sya I'm sure kaya ko rin gawin yun anytime for him.

I have families who's waiting for me there I just wanted to make sure na okay sila.

"What if pumunta ka sa universe ko just like what you always do"

I suggest

"We could travel together"

Dugtong ko pa pero wala syang reaction at hindi ko alam kung bakit I thought matutuwa sya sa sinabi ko pero blank na naman ang expression neto.

" I can't..."

There's a pause and again there's a silence between us that I can only hear my heart that beats so fast but I didn't feel any pain I always felt everytime he's near.

"I just can't"

There's something he didn't told me about and I don't know what is it but something is not right I'm sure it's not about me it's about him.

Panong di na pwede? Panong ayaw na nya bumalik sa universe ko? Umalis nga sya don ng walang sabi tas parang ayaw na nyang bumalik? Baka may napatay syang tao don tas naging wanted na kaya bawal na syang pumunta chussss ang babaw naman ng dahilan na naisip ko. I'm sure there's something at malalaman ko rin yun.
