It's us Always And Forever (Mika Reyes & Ara Galang)

Mika's POV

I walked up slowly towards the casket. So slow that I hope that I never reach it.

I can feel people's attention on me waiting for my reaction.

I am now arm length with the casket. I lean forward slowly. I see my...

Wife.

Peacefully laying inside the white casket. Lifeless.

I grip the side of the casket tight needing some sort of support as I cry and cry and cry sobbing uncontrollably.

Then I felt a hand on my back rubbing up and down trying to calm me down. I see my mom beside me.

I held onto her. Still crying while she hugs me tight I notice tears streaming down her face as well.

Mika : " ma bakit? Bakit siya? "

I say in between sobs

Mika : " Hindi ko na kaya ma. Ayaw ko na. "

Tita Bhaby : " no Mika. Kailangan ka ng mga anak mo "

Mika : " ma kailangan ko si Vic. Kailangan ko siya "

Tita Bhaby : " Mika. Mika. "

" Mika, nak "

I open my eyes as I feel someone shaking my shoulder.

I sat up from the couch that I was sleeping on to see that I'm in a hospital room. My eyes landed on the bed where my wife who has not woken up in four days is laying peacefully her chest slowly rising and falling assuring me that she is indeed still very much alive.

I let a sigh of relief out. It was just a dream.

Tita Bhaby : " umuwe ka muna at maligo kami na muna bahala dito "
