Heart's Resurgence

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Lumunok muna ako bago nagsalita. "Do you have evidence?"

Tumango ito. Hinawakan nito ang magkabilang pisngi ko. "When I first saw your sketch, the time you sketch me, face to face. Your sign there is the same as the sign in the artworks that Cy is giving me."

"You already know that?" mahina kung tanong.

Tumango ulit ito. "But I find more evidence, to confirm it. I even tried asking Chelcy, she didn't say it directly as I'm asking. But she gave me a hint, when our last day in Ilocos. She said, You're already getting close to her. And there I know it was you."

"Huh?"

Kalmado itong ngumiti. "And I just learned from you, that you've lost your memories, another hint. The text behind this clearly knows all about you. Now I can fully confirm my suspicion, Nutty."

Kinagat ko ang ibabang labi. I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. I don't even know what is real, after what happened to me, after I've lost my memories. I felt lose and nothing, jumping to unfamiliar faces, waking up with new faces really makes me shiver. The way they were worried. How gentle they are to me. 

"I'm really happy that you were her all along. I love you, who you are, Cy. My feelings for Cy, the artist, is starting to lost. But when I know I like you, not the Cy who is from past, but the Cy in this present. My heart started to love again," he said heart fully, sincerely in his voice. Huminga ito ng malalim. "I even tattooed your signature."

Napailing nalang ako ng mahina at lihim na ngumiti. "Yeah, I saw that," sabi ko at hindi ito liningon. "I saw it when I changed your clothes."

"Uh-huh." May ngisi naglalaro sa labi nito.

"Back to the topic, EK." I said at tinitigan siya sa mga mata na parang walang kahihiyan sa sarili. 'Yung ma fi-feel mong ikaw lang talaga ang tinititigan niya.

"Okay. Are you the girl from senior high, right?" He asked. Looking at my eyes.

Tumingin din ako sa berde nitong mata. Napakaganda. Nakakalula. I swallowed my saliva, before I spoke. "Yes, I'm the girl who is always giving you a present for all those two two years. The girl who's so obsessed at you," pag-amin ko. Wala na akong kawala. I better told the truth than lying to him. Since he opened this topic, even though I'm not yet fully recovering my memories. "Muling nabuhay ang pagmamahal ko sa'yo sa kabila ng matagal na pagkalimot nito." Tinuro ko kung saan parte ang puso ko. "It recognized you, EK. My heart recognizes you. It still beats for you." Tinuro ko naman kung nasaan parte ang utak ko. "Even my memories were erased. And never come back. My heart still knows you. My sixteen year old heart still loves you and recognizes you."
