The Killer's New Life

Ending

World and our faith can really be cruel.

I have experinced a lot of hardships. That last life was my last card to become happy but it still ended up to the same ending, tragic.

There's still a hope of happiness. Your cuts will be healed. Your nightmares will be erased. Start a new day, I am rooting for your happiness myself.

I slowly opened my eyes and my ceiling welcomed me. I frowned as soon as I get up from my bed. Hindi ko mapigilang magtaka dahil bakit napakagaan ng pakiramdam ko ngayon?

"Anak? Gising na! May pasok ka pa, nakong bata to!"

"Opo, maliligo lang." sigaw ko pabalik dahil nag-aalburoto na naman ang nanay ko kahit ang aga-aga pa!

Napailing na lang ako at tumayo na. My body and mind seemed really really light. Parang first time kong nawalan ng problema.

Weird.

I just ignored that feeling, kaagad akong pumasok sa banyo para maligo. When I'm done fixing myself, I get my bag and went downstairs.

Sa baba ay nakita ko sina mama, papa, at kuya na hindi pa kumakain. They're waiting for me kaya naman ay dumiretso na ako sa kanila.

"Slow down, little sis."

Kaagad napakunot ang mukha ko.

My older brother has been calling me that since I was born what why do I feel tearing up?

As if something touched my heart when I heard him saying that.

"Huh? No reaction? Hindi ka nagagalit? Ma! Our baby is really 19!"

Hindi ko mapigilang mapayuko. Hindi ko maintindihan ang inaakto ng sarili ko ngayon. My chest is now tight and I can feel that my eyes are burning.

Ngayon ko lang naramdaman na mahal na mahal ko ang kapatid ko.

"Ma'am, narito na po ang boyfriend ni Ma'am Anais."

"Oh? Azury, join us!"

Lumingon ako sa helper namin and I don't know why my breathing becomes heavy when I layed my eyes on the tall man beside our helper.

I dropped my spoon and fork without removing my stare on him.

Wala sa sariling tumayo ako at tumakbo sa deriksyon ng kasintahan ko. I cannot understand why I felt a deep longing in him.

My boyfriend seemed surprise with my action but he just chuckled and embraced me.

My shoulder trembled and my tears rushed out.

"A-Azury, I'm sorry! I love you! Mahal na mahal kita!"

Hindi ko alam pero tunog desperada ang pagkakasabi ko na para bang matagal kong tinago sa kaniya amg nararamdaman ko na gustong-gusto kong sabihin sa kaniya matagal na.

"I love you more. Another bad dream?" he asked me and I shook my head.

I tip toed, wala sa sariling hinawakan ko ang nuo niya, hinawi ko ang buhok niya and I desperately checked his forehead at parang nabunutan ng tinik ang sistema ko dahil wala akong nakitang kung ano roon.

"Ano'ng problema natin?" he asked me wiping the tears in my cheeks before planting a soft kiss.

Hindi ko alam kung ano'nv nangyayari sa akin pero hindi pa rin ako matigil sa pag-iyak.

Parang natupad ang pangarap ko. Parang may isang dasal ang naisakatuparan. I felt like my heart was longing for this and I have it now.

I felt healed completely.

Parang ito ang buhay na pinapangarap ko lang tapos nangyaari na. My soul, mind, and heart is now at ease.
