LOST IN LOVE'S ILLUSION (1 shot - 7 parts)

#1 SHOT - PART 4

"I always see you there in my dreams."

Although this is perfection, but why can't I see the stars and moon? They're nowhere to be found... Gusto kong maging saksi sila sa puno ng mahikang gabing 'to.

"It's like going back in a time machine—."

Napatigil ako sa pagkanta nang bigla akong nakaramdam ng pagpatak ng tubig, umaambon.Tumingala ako sa langit at gano'n din ang ginawa niya.

Akala ko ay titigil kami sa pagsasayaw, pero hindi...

"I know when I wake up, your time with me will end. So don't let me fall asleep."

He sang the next line. Napatitig ako sa kaniya. He know this song... I've been gatekeeping this. Who would have thought that we have the same music taste?

"It's time for me to try and wake up again."

He continued singing. Kinakantahan niya ako... It's fine with me if this situation we have right now might take my life on risks, because it's him.

"I wanna see you in my dreams."

Biglang bumuhos ng malakas ang ulan!

"Oh, my gosh," nagkatinginan kami saglit.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa sobrang lakas ng ulan pero nang magtama naman ang paningin namin ay parang gusto ko na lang magpalamon sa lupa.

He is so close to me... so close that our lips might touch.

Parehas lang kaming nakatingin sa isa't isa. Hindi ko alam, pero parang huminto ang mundo ko.

Huminto ang mundo ko.

I hope things will stay like this forever, but I'm afraid that it will end soon.

"Let's go!" pagbasag niya sa katahimikan namin at hinila na ako papunta sa kung saan may masisilungan.

Moon and stars might not be here to witness this lovely night, but these billions of dropslets that poured on us are already enough.

Nang makasilong kami ay nagkatinginan kaming dalawa at sabay na natawa. Parehas kaming basang basa.

"Are you okay?" he asked me. I was stunned when he touched a strip of my hair on my face and tucked it in my ear.

"A-Ano..." ito nanaman ako sa pagiging tuliro!

Pinakiramdaman ko ang sarili at medyo napangiwi nang maramdaman ang sakit ng paa ko.

"What's wrong?" he sounded so concerned that even I am in pain, I flash a smile.

"Yung paa ko lang..." sagot ko, umiwas ng tingin nang tignan niya ako. Baka isipin pa nitong balang araw ko na baliw ako dahil may sumasakit na nga, nakangiti pa. "Maybe because of my heels," I added.

Laking gulat ko nang bigla siyang lumuhod sa harapan ko. He looks up at me, "Can I touch you?" he asked for permission.
