The Moonlight Lilac (UNDER MAJOR EDITING)

EPILOGUE

EPILOGUE

Orange light, tight room enough to fit three people, there I was standing while continuously pinching my left palm using my right hand.

I'm wearing a white thick bathrobe, hair tied in a high clean bun, my right feet making small stomps on the white tiled floor. 

I'm feeling so anxious...

Every minute, the emotion is rising on top of my throat, making it harder and harder to breath. 

No, I don't want out. No, I don't want it to be over. I just want to be with her...

Then suddenly, I heard the door open, I immediately looked in that direction. The initial sound was followed by, "Ms. Parker, we're ready for you."

Yung linyang yun ni ate ay tila nagmistulang hudyat para huminga ko ng maayos. I let out a deep sigh, which she heard and smiled at. From tension, my facial expression softened. I'm now smiling as well, with still touch of worry. 

Sumunod ako kay ateng nakasuot ng itim na turtleneck na pinaresan ng itim na pencil skirt. Bagsak hanggang bewang ang kulay blonde niyang kulot na buhok. 

Left, right, left, right, left, right. 

Ayan yung bawat hakbang niya. Oo, sa paa niyang nakasuot ng 5-inches stilettoes ako nakatingin kasi sinusubukan kong sabayan yung bawat hakbang niya. Sa sobrang kaba ko, andami ko na namang napapansin. 

Unti unti, yung kulay orange na ilaw, napalitan ng puti. Tuluyan na kaming nakalabas sa kwarto kung nasaan ako kanina. Umaliwalas ang paligid. Sa wakas ay may bintana na. 

Lumingon ako sa direksyon ng nakabukas na bintana. It's a bay type of window. I was greeted by the fresh air and the peaceful scent coming from the beach outside. You can also hear the sound of calm waves meeting the shore. I couldn't help but smile.

Peace. This is what I call peace. Oh, how much I love the sea.

Ako siguro si Moana nung dati kong buhay?

Napadilat ako ng mata kasabay ng pagkunot ko ng noo dahil sa bagay na yun na bigla kong naisip. Kaunti nalang, maniniwala na talaga ko na meron akong split personality tapos may isa pang personality sa loob ng utak ko na paladesisyon. Siya yung biglang nagpapasok ng kung ano anong kalokohan na biglang tatakbo sa utak ko kahit sa pinaka seryosong sitwasyon.
