Memories of You

Chapter 07

Luin's POV

"I know you can overcome that. Remember, death is not the solution to your problems... and it will never be. Kung namatay ka ngayon, paano mo malalampasan yan? Kung hindi mo haharapin yan, tatawagin kitang duwag. Hindi lang ikaw ang nakakaranas niyan sa mundo. Yung sa iba pa nga mas malala. So, cheer up! Marami kang karamay. Huwag mong kakalimutan na may nagmamahal sa'yo."

She's right, I'm so stupid for drowning myself, maybe because my heart is full of anger and that's why I did try to kill myself. After she said that, I realized that I'm not alone. I remembered my family and her. I stopped crying and  stare at her.

"Thank you." I said and gave her a space to breathe.

"You're welcome and don't you ever try to kill yourself again, idiot!" She said seriously. I've never seen her like this before.

"You kissed me." I teased her. I like the look on her face whenever she's annoyed.

"It's just a CPR! Not a kiss! Can you stop bugging me? You're really starting to look like an idiot." She said with a irritated and annoyed voice. I laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" She asked. More annoyed this time.

"Thank you. You made me forget my problems in such a short time." I smiled at her. I feel comfortable with her.

"I want to tell you something." She said out of nowhere.

"What is it?"I asked.

"Promise me that you won't freaked out."

"Promise."

"Nagiging hinulmang tubig ako pag natutuyo ako, kaya lagi mo akong nakikitang basa." Imik niya kaya natawa ako.

"You're kidding right?" I ask while laughing.

"I'm not. Watch me." I stared at her. Is she really serious? Nagsimula siyang tuyuin ang sarili niya. Unti-unting nagiging hinulmang tubig siya!

"What the---" I screamed but she covered my mouth with her hands.

"Please, don't scream and don't tell anyone about this." she pleaded and I nodded.

She removed her hands on my mouth and I cannot believe that I can completely see her like this. I thought sa mga movies lang ito.

"Stop staring at me like that. You're creeping me out."

I stared at her, minutes passed and I was just staring at her.

"Now, do you believe me?"

"It's impossible!" 

"It's possible! You see me right?" She said and stared at me intently.

"But h-how?"

"Look." Sabi niya at pumunta siya sa tubig at binasa ang sarili niya e-even and then, unti-unting nagiging itsurang tao na siya!

"Nagiging tubig ako pagnatutuyo na ako." So, that's why she's always drenched. I can't believe this but what the? I totally saw that s-she's, ano ba?

"Now, I believe you, I just can't get over it." I said.

"Thank you!" She hug me. Nagulat naman ako sa ikinikilos niya.

"You're welcome, but where do you live?"

She remove the hug and said, "Deepest place in that lake."

"Really?"

"Yes, under the water." she said.

"You can breathe under the water?" I said in disbelief.

"Yes?" She said.

"You're really amazing." I look at her with amusement in my eyes.

"Thank you." She said sincerely. Bigla ay napaisip ako.

"Can you live forever?!"
