A SOUL MATE
In order to spare my parents from unnecessary worry, I chose to withhold certain experiences from them. These are peculiar occurrences that I am aware would be deemed unusual by most individuals. For the time being, I believe it is best to maintain these occurrences as my personal secrets, as long as they do not pose any harm to me.
Until the following night, I have a dream.
I was standing on the cliff, watching the bright moon light. Marvin caught me by this time.
"What are you thinking?" He asked as he stood behind me.
"I just wonder if the moon has a natural power to give its blessings to all living in this world. Aside from giving a light at night."
"Most of the elders believe that the moon is actually the living place of the heavenly goddess. So I'm sure it is"
"The truth is, ever since we came here. I found strange things that I have never experienced before. Hmmp. If I died I wanted to live in there." I said.
Marvin opens his arms and embraces me. It is warm and comforting. I feel so safe. I can feel the deep rumble since I am pressed against his chest. Then he told me "I need you,"
When I wake up in the morning, I only remember little snippets of my dream. I wish I could hold onto the details. But they slipped quickly from my consciousness as soon as I woke up. I can't get a sense of the mood in the room yet, but I have to go downstairs. As I approach the breakfast table, I find my parents engrossed in conversation while enjoying their meal. They warmly greet me as I grab a cup, prepare my coffee, and place some delicious sandwiches on the table.
"Do we have any plans today?" I asked.
"Me? I wanted you to cook for lunch because I have to complete those unfinished tasks from school. I have to prepare it for tomorrow's class, is it okay?" Dad said.
"Yeah, sure, Dad, I'm going to cook "biko" specially for you," I said.
"What's biko? " he asks.
"It's a special dessert from Auntie Linda. A chewy rice cake made with sticky rice, coconut milk, and dark sugar. She served it in a round, shallow bamboo tray lined with banana leaves known as a bilao; biko belongs to sweets called "kakanin." Auntie Linda taught me how to cook it before, and now I will try to make it by myself for you," I told dad with tenderness. Because I would like to make it something for him, to make him feel that he is not alone, that we love him, and we need him forever. Dad nodded and smiled.
"Honey, Jolina would like us to come over and talk to her. She said she had some important things to tell us." Mom said and no one reacts next, between the three of us. Then she says
"We should go in about an hour."
"Would you prefer that the two of you go alone?" Dad asks.
