Dream.

It is something we did not expect that will come into reality. Not until it bothers us even in our deep slumber. Not until we meet someone in our dreams and see them in reality.


It is a big word. It has many definitions. And... it is a mysterious thing.

"Still unconscious?"

The muffled sound filled my ears as I feel the very light lamp in front of me. I can't open my eyes and my head feels like breaking. I think heaven is finally getting me. Because I am worthless, a sinner, not a good person. As what they say.

So I think this is just normal. My head hurts a lot but maybe I'll be fine if I am gone. I will be fine if I will not be here.

"Dito ka dapat mamaya. I will wait for you," the boy grinned at me as I run away from him.

But, will they be really okay if I am gone?

"I will stay beside you until the very end and that is my promise." He whispered at my ear.

Is it okay if I die?

It was a question that kept on repeating in my mind before I heard a noisy beep in my side as I felt my body froze and I couldn't even move my finger. I feel my eyelids shutting as my head throbs like I never felt before.

I can't help but moan in pain.

"Oh goodness! Please, help my daughter! Please, save my daughter!" I heard a man's voice.

I feel like everyone is running back and forth on my side, the screeching wheels, the cries of people around me.

I tried to open my eyes and look at the person beside me. She's crying and weeping about my situation before she fully became blurry.

I shut my eyes but before I lose my consciousness, his blurry face captured my heart. I've been looking and searching for those fragments just to recognize who's that person. But...

I can't remember him. I can't remember everything.

I closed my eyes again trying to remember that person. I feel my chest becoming heavy as I heard the machine's sound beeping.

Everything that is happening around me...is  this a dream?

Because in dreams, that's the only place where I can remember everything. Where I can remember the one I see.
