Reverie's Awakening

Chapter 18

Chapter 18.

Halos isang oras akong nasa garden ng may narinig akong tumawag sa pangalan ko. I looked up to see Damian walking towards me.

It had been two weeks since we had shared the same bed and I still couldn't quite believe it was real. Ever since then, things had been different between us-we were closer.

He always woke me up with gentle kisses on my neck and strong hugs that felt like a security blanket. He had been so tender and gentle with me.

Even now, it felt like I was still dreaming.

For me, it's really scary. Kasi magigising na lang ako isang araw baka wala na siya sa tabi ko. Kung tutuusin, hindi naman siya akin sa simula pa lang. Hiram lang ang sandaling magkasama kami ngayon.

I knew that this borrowed moment wouldn't last forever.

That's why I want to treasure every moments na magkasama kami.

But...how can I treasure these moments when I cannot even be sure they will last? I close my eyes and take a deep breath, trying to remind myself of what I have to be grateful for.

Nakita ko siyang malapit na sa pwesto ko. He looked so handsome, I couldn't help but smile.

For the first time in my life, I want to be selfish, kahit...ngayon lang.

Kahit ilang araw lang.

"Damian!"

I smiled as I waved to Damian, my heart skipping a beat. Sobrang swerte ng female lead kay Damian. Lahat na kay Damian na.

I sighed. When their story starts, I will stay away from him. Because that's really my role here.

To watch from the sidelines.

Hindi ko alam ang mangyayari kung sakaling may mabago man ako sa kwento. Because until now, it's still a mystery to me how I ended up here.

These past few weeks I gradually remembered the memories of the real Seraphina. Unti-unti ko itong naaalala bawat araw na lumilipas hanggang sa naalala ko na lahat ng memories niya. And now I don't know anymore, it was like I was the real Seraphina because of the memories I have now.

It was like I was not the Elysia who lived quietly in the peaceful town of Tranquilville. Dahil bawat alaala ng totoong Seraphina na pumapasok sa utak ko, unti-unti ring bumabalot ang takot sa puso ko.

I don't know if I should be afraid. Na baka tuluyan ko ng makakalimutan ang totoong ako, na ako si Elysia at hindi Seraphina.

I shook my head. fix yourself Elysia. When did you become a pessimistic person?

Maaga talaga akong gumising kanina para asikasuhin ang pananim ng tunay na Seraphina, para palitan ang mga kinuha ko. I had been planting the garden, making sure I didn’t neglect the crops of real seraphina. Hindi naman pwedeng kumuha lang ako nang kumuha, kailangan ko rin palitan.

My heart warmed when I saw him coming towards me, and I felt his arm wrap around my waist. He bent down and kissed my forehead, sending butterflies through my stomach.

"Good morning, beautiful," paos ang boses na saad nito. His breath tickling my skin as he spoke.

"Good morning," marahan kong sagot sa kaniya, trying not to blush. I really love his eyes. It's very rare for a person to have golden eyes.
