"How are you?"

"I am okay. Missed you a lot. "

"Di nga. Talagang miss mo ako?"

"Ano ba no...." *grumbles*

"Di ka na mabiro, Love."

"Ewan ko sa iyo. Lagi mo na lang ako pinagtritripan."

"Bakit na late ka pala?"

"Hirap dumiskarte. Masyadong madaming tao sa resto."

"Nakita ko nga. Me pics."

"......"

"....."

"Are you mad?"

"Why should I be mad? They were there, and paying customers yun. Tapos pag di mo papansin, suplado ka na. So  damned if you do, damned if you don't..."

"Eh yun nga...."

"Babe, you don't need to explain."

"Sometimes I feel like I have to."

"No you don't. Because what others say, they do not matter. I will only believe you and only you. Bakit ba na bring up na naman to. Jusko kada taon...."

"Kasi...."

"Seriously, they do not matter. Sila ba ang ka -relasyon ko?"

"Ayun na nga eh."

"I love you. You.  Just you alone. Not them."

"And I , you."

"Tell meeee..."

"Sus , opo , mahal na mahal na mahal na mahal kita."

"Ayaaaan. I love it when you say it."

"And I love that you're so clingy. HUY dahan dahan naman..."

*laughs* "I'm sorry, I miss you lang grabe sobra sagad sagad."

"Para ka namang tarsier makakapit..."

"Hoy grabe ka...."

"Huy wag ka na mag tampo. Sige siksik na. Dito , dito sa kili kili ko"

*both laugh*

"I miss your smell."

"I miss you more. Everyday."

"Kasi naman babe. Bakit kasi. ..." *faint crying*

"Love..."

*crying grows louder*

"It's unfair."

"Love...."

*They hug for a long time*

"Love..... it's not fair talaga."

"I know."

"Bakit di ka galit?"

"Kasi wala na akong magagawa."

*Crying . Again*

"I just miss you so much."

"I miss you too."

"Can you....stay... longer?"

"I don't have much time, love."

"Bakit kasi nag drive ka pa ng gabing yun. Bakit ba kasi....Maulan pa...."

*both crying*

"When will I see you again?"

"Maybe soon."

"Tine....She's turning 5 soon."

"I know, love. I watch her everyday."

"But you're not here"

"I wish I was there, love. But I am always, always here."

"Bakit andaya mo. Bakit dito ka lang nagpapakita sa akin. Bakit nakukuha mo bumisita sa iba. Bakit sa akin hindi."

"Kasi baka di mo kayanin, love. Dito nasasagot kita kaagad di ba. At nahahawakan mo ako."

"Parang ayaw mo kasi akong puntahan. Kahit si Manang Nel nakikita ka. Kinausap mo pa daw sya."

"Hindi naman nya ako nakilala before. I just like to remind her to take care of you and Tine."

"She does , love...."

"I can see that. She was not afraid. Well I think she was at first but then she got the hang of it."

"Pero di mo sinasagot tanong ko."

"Ano nga ba yun?"

"When will I see you nga ulit?"

"Sa Pasko, love. Magpapamiss lang ako ng konti."

"Promise yan?"

"Promise."

"Tell Tine I love her."

"She knows love, everyday."

"And you know too?"

"Yes. I love you. Forever and Always."

"I love you forever and always. Even on this universe."

"Always."

"Always."

She woke up in a jolt, her body heaving and sweating, sitting up from her slumber. It is 3am and once again, in the eve of Samhain, she dreamed of her departed husband. She pulls herself together. 3am. The same time in 2021 where she was woken up to a call from her father in law that he had been in a car accident, and the impact was so severe that he died on the spot. She had to be admitted at the hospital immediately after her screams and cries woke up her sister. She was shaking and was about to be sedated. The doctors nor the nurses could not get anything out of her. So they took her blood. And immediately found out that she was with child.

That was the first time she calmed down, when her parents were both with her on her bed, holding her while she absorbed the news.

She will be a mother. Tine was the gift they had been waiting for. That made her stronger, knowing that a part of him will be with her forever.

Later that day, they found a written note slipped between his bible, when his personal effects had been returned. The bible was spotless.

"For you are my one true love,

And I will cross mountains

And swim across oceans

to be with you.

That when I leave this world

I will find a way to be with you & our children

even for just a moment.

I love you forever and always, my dear wife."

A/N :

Dealing with my own feelings. I just needed to let this out. Some of the lines were from my  mother's dream after my father passed away. Medyo in-adjust ko na lang para sa story.

Not proofread... All mistakes are my own.

Pic is mine.

Peace out! :P
