Chapter 29
Iyak lang ako nang iyak.. Hindi ko alam kung natutuwa ba ko o ano.. Alam ko kasing meron pa. Meron pa kaming problema, " Mico."
" I know." He sobbed and continued, " I don't want you to make this harder for me.. I just want you to listen.."
" Can I look at you?"
Umiling sya habang nakabaon parin ang muka sa leeg ko, " No.."
" Why?"
" I might not fulfill what I'm supposed to do."
" Which is?"
" Just listen, love." Tumango ako at pinigilan ang mga luha sa pagtulo, " Do you want to know the full tale of the little boy and Sky?" tumango ako, " He was in his early teens when the same phenomenon happened again, he just fell down in school one afternoon. And there his diseases took over again.. But now it was occurring in 7 days. Longer than when he was still a kid. And his waking time was decreasing.. From 3 days, to 2 and a half, to 23 hours down to unidentified short hours." tahimik lang akong nakikinig sakanya, " His adventure was the same, his goal is the same: Find the girl."
" Years passed, He always have reached his goal. But loses his prize afterwards. If his Adventures was written down it might have been the bestselling book. If his adventures with the girl is written, maybe they will have numerous sequels.. The boy haven't kept track how many times he had chased her around and catch her. He can't remember how many times he came to her world finding her, starting from square one again. He can't remember how many times he have been falling in love with her every adventure they had.."
" Mico."
He sobbed harder and hugged me tighter for me to not look at him, crying. " It was first of October in her world when she first accepted and confessed to him that he love him.. But when the third day of October came, he confessed who he really is but the girl—the girl, she almost gave up on him.. But accepted him afterwards and came to his world—for God knows how many times—again. But as usual he lost her again. His frightened moment suddenly hit him, he is finally feeling tired."
" No. Please."
" But he said, just one more time. One more. I want to go to her and get her back again. So he entered her world again, it was frozen. But the moment he touched his foot on its land, everything resumed. And he searched for the girl named, Yuima Skye. The girl he had been every time." Naguna-unahan ulit ang mga luha ko sa pagbagsak mula sa mga mata ko. No way..
" Mico.." binitawan na ako ni Mico kaya agad akong humarap sakanya, " Bakit?"
His looked at me with his eyes filled with tears, " I don't want to scare you."
" Bakit?" Tiningnan ko lang sya habang umiiyak, " Bakit mo ko hinahabol paulit-ulit? Bakit mo ko minamahal ng paulit-ulit? Bakit hindi ka tumigil?"
He wiped my tears away, " Sabi mo hihintayin mo ko.. Sabi mo hwag akong mag-alala dahil this time mas madali na. Sabi mo—, " he choked on his tears, " Sabi mo maghihintay ka.."
" Sabi mo gusto mong malaman ang totoong pangalan ko this time, kaya sabi mo maghihintay ka.. Sabi mo hangga't wala ako hindi tutuloy ang ikot ng mundo mo.. Kaya dapat babalik ako.."
Tumulo ng tumulo ang mga luha ko at tinanong—, " Bakit?"
" Kasi mahal kita.." Hindi ako makasalita. Hindi ko alam anong sasabihin ko.. Hindi ko matandaan pero alam ko totoo yun dahil ramdam ko. Ramdam na ramdam ko,
" C-Can I?"
Ngumiti sya at tumango, niyakap ko sya at umiyak ng umiyak, " Hwag mo ko iwan.. Hwag kang umalis.. Hinintay kita diba? Kaya manatili ka sa tabi ko! Hwag mo ko iwan! Hwag mo ko iwan, Mico!" umiiyak din sya habang yakap ako ng mahigpit, he was sobbing hard, " Naghintay ako diba? Dito ka lang.. Akin ka lang.."
