"Joooice--"
"Joice--"
"Wake up baby" A raspy familiar voice of a man.
I gently rubbed my eyes but it’s dark. I can't see anything. Nothing but darkness, Plain creepy darkness.
"Who’s there?"
"Happy Birthday my dear" someone spoke with a very soft voice.
"Birthday? Who's birthday? Who are you? Please don't freak me out! My body was shaking in fear.
A light flickered from a match stick, giving light for things to be visible in my eyes. But still, I can't see his face. Blurry and it scares me.
I want to run away, I wanna scream but I can't.
Wait--
"A birthday cake?"
He lighted 5 small candles on top of the cake.
He started singing
"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you"
"What in the world is happening? Can anyone hear me!?" Now I'm shouting but no one seems to care. Where's Carla?
She's supposed to be here beside me but I can't see her. No one is around! That man, he can't hear me either
"Happppppy birthday to you" the singing continues.
His voice--
That raspy voice--
The timbre of that voice--
"Happy birthday Joice" he's walking towards me"
Could it be..
"Dad? is that you"? Tears slid down from my eyes.
"Happy birthday baby" He's getting closer.
"Dadddddd?" Can't you hear me?" I’m not afraid anymore. I want him; I want him in my arms.
"I love you" the voice slowly disappeared.
And the darkness swallowed the glint of light completely, the only light that i have and my hope perished along, my only chance to meet Dad.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bebe! Wake up! Wake up!" It's Carla.
"Panaginip lang pala" I sighed with relief.
"Bangungot kamo" sabi ni Carla . Tinakpan ko ang mukha ko ng unan.
"Multo? Aswang? Zombies? Warewolf, si Jacob? O baka Vampires, si Edward or Damon? Nakahubad ba be? OMG!" A devilish smile from my angelic bestfriend.
"Can you be serious for at least 3 minutes please?" I hit her hard with the pillow.
"It’s Dad" I said.
"Again?" She asked.
"I didn't see his face, but I'm sure it’s him." I replied.
"Ganun? Baka naman kasi nagmumulto lang, malapit na Undas" I don't know if she's joking but hopefully she's not. She even took her sweet joke back inside her pocket.
“Im just kidding”
“Ayokong magdrama today ok, so can we have our breakfast?” I said while fixing my hair.
