You and I

Chapter 1

Sweet melody of the music filled my ears. The smell of salty wind blew my hair and it was scattered into my face. The white sand sparkled like crystals in my feet. My heart beats erratically, almost beats the sound of the music.

"May I have this dance?" His deep voice made me back to my senses from admiring the moment. From admiring him...

I held his hands and electric sent shivers down my spine.  His right hand went down to my back and his left hand still holds mine. He's now invading my personal space as I made my head lean in his chest and all I can hear is his heart beat, it beats than the usual.

I tried to move but I can't. I felt numb. I couldn't feel anything. I stared at him and anxiousness started to eat me.

He opened his mouth and his lips moves like he was saying something but I couldn't hear a thing. My vision started to get blur and tears started to scream down in my face. I tried to speak but I couldn't find my voice. I can't breath properly, I almost choke. It was like all my senses are gone.

Am I dreaming?... Probably.

I looked into his eyes but everything was blurry. Slowly, our distance depart us each other. I tried to held his hands, I tried to catch his hand so he can't get away but I felt numb. It hurts so much that I can feel punches in my heart.

Wait... Where are you going? Stay... Please... Don't leave me...

Unti unti kong minulat ko ang aking mga mata habang pilit na hinahabol ang aking hininga at pinunasan ko din ang mga luhang walang tigil na dumadaloy sa aking mata.

Panaginip. Hindi ito ang unang beses na napaginipan ko iyon. Paulit ulit kong napapanaginip ang pangyayaring na iyon pero hindi ko makita ang kanyang muka.

I checked the clock in my sidetable. It's still five thirty in the morning. Bumangon na ako para maghilamos at makapagluto ng almusal para ready na bago magising si Blue.

"Oh Vanessa ang aga mo atang nagising?"

"Hindi na po kasi ako makatulog nay rosie"

"Ganun ba magluluto na ko ng almusal anong gusto mong kainin?"

"Wag na po nay' ako na po magluluto nagrequest po kasi si Blue ng cardonara para sa breakfast niya"

"Nako. Talaga yong batang yon kung hindi pancake, cardonara ang gusto." napailing iling nitong sabi habang nakangiti.

Matapos kong lutuin ang carbonara nag ayos na ko ng hapag kainan, nagluto na din ako ng pancake dahil alam kong hahanapin ito ni Blue mamaya.

Tinawag ko muna si Nanay Rosie sa garden para sabay sabay na kami sa pagkain.

"Nay' tama na muna yang pagdilig niyo kain muna tayo"

"Ay osige gising na ba si Blue?"

"Pupuntahan ko pa lang po sa taas nay baka gising na yon"

"Osiya sige tara na sa loob."

Umakyat muna ako para gisingin si Blue pero siguro gising na yon sinanay ko kasi iyon na magising ng maaga at hindi tinatanghali ng gising.

"Blue... Baby are you awake now?"

Sabi ko habang nakita ko siyang kinukusot ang kanyang mga mata ngumiti naman ako dahil ang cute cute tignan ng anak ko habang nakasimangot. Dinaluhan ko ito't niyakap at hinalikan.

"Baby let's go. Breakfast is ready"

"Mmy' did yah cook my carbonara?"

"Of course. Come on."
