Yuki Ishikawa • Lifetime

Prologue

I suddenly saw myself at the rooftop of the training center. Of all places, bakit dito ako napunta?

I scanned the place and nothing has changed. It is still the same from 3 years ago except for the fact na wala na iyong reason kung bakit I frequent this place before.

I'm about to sit on the side benches when a familiar voice calls for me.

"Yuki!"

My heart skipped a beat. It can't be. Totoo ba 'tong narinig ko just now?

I slowly turned and saw someone na hindi ko ine-expect na makikita ko. She's standing in the middle, smilling at me while holding a paper plane in her right hand.

I blinked twice, no. Thrice, maybe? Oh, fuck it.

Is my mind playing tricks on me? I know I've been getting a lot of nightmares since that incident happened tapos ano? Biglang ganito?

I immediately snapped out of my thoughts when she suddenly held my hand and placed the paper plane on the palm of my hands. Sa kaka-isip ko ng kung ano-ano, hindi ko na napansin na ganito na pala siya kalapit sa akin.

"Write your wish, Yuki." She said.

My hands trembled. My mind still cannot process what was happening right now.

"Te-teka.. Pa-paano nangyari 'to? You were.."

Hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko when she spoke again.

"Kung wala ka pang ma-isip na wish ngayon, I'll write mine instead." She said habang kinukuha ang paper plane sa kamay ko.

Once she is done writing her wish, she sighs and looks at me while saying, "I hope there's still a lifetime waiting for us in a world where I was yours, Yuki."

And that's when I woke up, crying.
