Normal POV
The next day passed like a normal day. Yes, Ara knows about Arra's existence. She's fine now. Better, I think? Pero hindi pa din siya makapaniwala sa mga nangyari. All these times, napaniwala silang patay na si Arra pero hindi pala. It's not that she's not happy that Arra is alive. It's just that she's so happy and she don't know how to act like it.
They're still in Italy. But tomorrow's their flight home. Uuwi nanaman sila sa Pilipinas. Iiwan nanaman nila si Arra. But this time, she's no longer alone she's actually with, you know who.
"Pagbalik natin ng Manila, pa check up tayo para ma confirm kung talagang magaling ka na, ha?" Naka ngiting sabi ni Thomas then caressed Ara's hair.
"Paulit ulit?" Natatawang sabi ni Ara sa kaniya. They were about to kiss, unti unti na nga nilang nararamdaman ang hininga ng isa't isa but,
"Aga aga landi ha." Saway sa kanila ng kaibigan na nagre ready nang umalis.
"Arra naman eh!" Inis na sabi sa kaniya ni Thomas at tumawa.
"Wushu. Kayo nga eh, 1am, dinig na dinig ko yung sound ng pagdikit ng head board sa pader." Ara said with a grin. Making her friend blush. Mabuti nalang wala dito ang boyfriend niya.
"Uyy. Totoong gumawa nga ng himala!" Naglolokong sabi pa ni Thomas.
"Tumigil ka nga!" inis na sabi sa kaniya ni Arra at binato pa siya ng unan. Ara and Thomas just laughed after seeing their friend embarrassed.
"May lakad ka today?" Tanong ni Ara kay Arra while eating breakfast.
Oh here we are again. Ara and Arra. It's confusing, right?
"Oo. Lalabas tayo." maikling sagot ni Arra at nagpatuloy sa pagkain.
"Really?! We're going with your boyfriend?" Parang batang tanong naman ni Thomas na may kasama pang pagwi wiggle ng eyebrows niya. He even stressed the word 'boyfriend' para ibalik ang pangiinis niya kay Arra kanina.
"Nope. Kami lang ni Ara ang lalabas." Sagot sa kaniya ni Arra at nakipag high five pa kay Vic.
Yes those two needs time to talk. Hindi pa tapos ang explanation ni Arra. And besides, Vic has lots of question still.
After breakfast, Arra and Vic decided to go our for a trip. While Thomas and Arra's boyfriend went somewhere to play ball. They've been friends too.
"What was your first reaction when you saw me? I mean, reaction deep inside ha." Tanong ni Arra while driving. She's curious after all.
But she was silent. Thinking 'what should I say?' Or 'what was it that I really felt yesterday?'
"I wanted to believe that you're real. That it's really you standing in front of me. Siyempre, nung nakita kita, I was happy. Kaya lang, dahil nga sa mga nangyayari and dahil na din sa condition ko, natakot ako." Paguumpisa ni Vic. Lihim namang tumawa si Arra remembering Vic's reaction yesterday.
"I often see you, actually. But yesterday was different. Nagsalita ka. Kaya mas natakot ako." Th saglit si Vic. Realizing that her condition is really weird.
"Ang weird nga eh. I don't really believe in ghosts. 'Cause duh, walang life after death no. But because of you, napaniwala ako. Dahil sa sakit ko, ayun. Nagsimula akong matakot sa multo."
"Ako na yata ang pinaka magandang multo na nakita mo." Pabirong sabi ni Arra na ikinatawa nilang dalawa.
They later reached their destination. An open park. Where you can get fresh air and where you can relax.
"Ganda ha. How'd you find this place?" Tanong ni Vic as soon as they got out of the car. Tinawanan lang siya at binigyan ng glare ni Arra.
"Uh, FYI lang po, ha? I came here after my operation. So, I'm probably familiar." She answered with sarcasm.
