I can't remember much about my dream, but the feeling of being so in love and heartbroken all at once was so . . .
. . . vivid
Tanaw ko ang kabuoan ng New York mula sa malaking glass window ng penthouse na siyang tinutuluyan ko, for two years now, while sipping my hot black coffee.
After kong mabawi ang trust ni dad (clean out my nasty imagine as a party girl and womanizer) and earn myself my college degree, he finally turned over his multidollar business to me; and it's been six months since the turnover and I'm still not used to it. Sobrang nakaka-stressful, lalo na't I'm not only handling a multinational automotive corporation, may real estates pa akong kailangan i-look over.
I've been working my ass off dahil kailangan ko rin patunayan sa mga business partners ni dad na 'I can actually do this'. As mentioned, I don't really have a very good reputation in the past.
Alcohols, one-night-stands, reckless driving, and drugs—you name it. I was pretty much a headache, but I can't be blamed much though. Yung divorce ng parents ko plus the separation with my twin had gotten the best out of me. Isama mo pa ang horrifying heartbreak from my first love, which is by the way, unrequited.
What made me change though?
Well, my dad had a heart attack and was in a coma for three months, and it was all my fault.
Nagkasagutan kasi kami. You know, lahat ng sama ng loob ko from childhood ay bigla na lamang sumabog, one night. I almost killed him and if he died that night, hinding-hindi ko mapapatawad ang sarili ko.
Anyway, we are in a good place now and I've been sober for four years. Though, I still have occasional hookups 'cause you know, we all have needs. But yeah, I'm single and contented.
Except for today. After my vivid dream about a particular life—na para bang, another version of my life has been shown to me—and knowing that . . . I've met someone who'd I love until the end—now, feeling ko tuloy may kulang na sa akin.
Before pa ako tuluyang kainin ulit ng panaginip ko, I decided to push that thought and focus on my busy schedule today. I have to make sure everything's alright before yung flight ko. I'm going to the Philippines, first time after sixteen years.
Although the feud between our parents has subsided for years now, dahil sa schedule ko—on catching up my studies and now, managing the business—hindi ko nagawang isingit ang pag uwi. Good thing mom visits me thrice a year or whenever she's bored and my twin, Timothy, hangs around whenever he can. Gaya ko kasi, he's taking over our mom's businesses kaya super hectic din ng schedules niya.
This is not just a simple visit though, I'm coming over for Tim's bachelor party and eventually, for his wedding next week. He's finally settling in with her longtime girlfriend, Andria.
Di ko pa ito kilala personally but base sa mga kwento ng kapatid ko, I think she's an awesome and very suitable para sa kanya. I've seen some of their pictures together and they're really a cute couple.
I was making my way down sa basement ng matanggap ko ang tawag ni Joe.
"What do you need Josephine?" naglalaro ang mga ngiti sa aking labi habang ina-unlock ko yung kotse.
