Memoir Love Rewind

Chapter 15

          "Are you sure of what you're going to do Blake Zhander? may halong pangamba na tanong ni Jemaicah.

          "Yes... I have made up my mind." seryosong sagot niya dito habang ina-ayos ang kanyang mga gamit.

          "You do remember, after you told her about you. You only have one day?" Bigla siyang tumigil sa pag-aayos ng gamit at hinarap ito.

          "Yes, I know that, No worries.. I know what I'm doing." he said certainly habang may ngiti sa mga mata.

Biglang umaliwalas ang mukha ng kanyang kausap saka umupo sa tabi ng kama nito.

    "I am so happy that your an avid student of love." nakangiting wika nito saka bumuntong hininga ng malalim.

        "So, you're not going to finish your case?" muling tanong ni Jemaicah.

He nodded slightly saka nagsalita.

        "I have forgiven kung sino man ang nakabangga sakin.. besides he paid it already by letting me used his body for a while." mahinahon niyang paliwanag.

        "You do know already?" gulat na tanong ni Jemaicah.

          "Yes, I know it from the very beginning... kinailangan ko lang gawin na hindi aksidente ang nangyari upang wag sisihin ni Glamiela ang sarili dahil sa nangyari. I was really drunk... and was really mad at her for loosing another one of my baby..I wanted to become a father so bad...kaya nung malaglag ulit ang dala niyang bata sa sinapupunan nagpakalasing ako at di ko namalayan ang isang motorsiklo na nagmamaneho sa buhanginan at lasing na lasing rin kaya di niya ako napansin."

He inhaled deeply saka muling nagpatuloy.

          " So, there I am borrowing someone else body and it's been worth living for.. kasi kung di nangyari ang lahat ng ito...... I wouldn't know kung gaano kahalaga sakin si Glamiela.. I mean I don't care kung may anak man kami o wala ang importante masaya siya. She comes first before me."  mahaba niyang pangungusap saka muling bumaling upang takpan ang mga bukas na storage box.

        "Finally!! I always liked it when another soul is enlightened. Thousands of Angels are celebrating now because of you." masayang wika ni Jemaicah.

Mga ilang sandali silang parehong di umiik.

         "Fallen Angel was never easy." muling wika ni Jemaicah.

Alam niyang hindi ordinaryong tao ito. Dahil ito ang nagbigay daan sa kanya upang makabalik sa lupa. Mga panahong madilim at magulo ang kanyang paligid. Di niya akalain na isa pala itong dating anghel. Maliban sa sinabi nitong tutulungan siya nito ay wala na itong ibang sinabi tungkol sa totoong buhay nito. Hinarap niya ito ng matapos ang kanyang ginagawa at umupo kaharap ito.

         "Nagpadala ako sa maka mundong kasakiman. Kaya I need to pay the consequences of my choice."
Patuloy na wika nito habang nakatingin sa sahig.

Nakakunot ang mga noong tiningnan niya ito ng tuwid.

         "I was once crazy over a man. I didn't wanna let go of him . Even though ,I know that he loves someone else..... I tried to kill the woman he loves . So that, I can have him but, wasn't successful because, the man that I love gave his heart to save the woman he loves so, that she could live again." patuloy nito habang tumutulo ang mga luha.

Bigla siyang naawa para dito.

            " No, don't be!" pagkuwan ay wika nito ng mabasa ang expresyon ng kanyang mukha.

            "It was the best lessoned of my life!"

You said your a fallen angel...How? tanong niya dito na di lubos maunawaan ang mga pinagsasabi nito.

         "Yes, I was....I came here as an angel but, most people think when your an angel your perfect. You can't do wrong to none, that is not true. It is humility that turns a man into an angel and pride ,that cause them to become fallen angels. See, our journey doesn't just end somewhere. We don't have destination because we only have journey and it is up to you whether you turn right or left while you are in your journey. But, the good thing is no matter how long, you have been in your journey, you can always go backward or move forward. But, make sure it is for the better or something much greater." mahabang paliwanag ni Jemaicah habang pinupunasan ang mga luha nito.

Makalipas ang ilang oras  ng mahaba nilang pag uusap agad siyang tumayo ng makita ang oras sa orasan na naka sabit sa dingding. Huminga muna siya ng malalim saka nagwika.

          "Thank you, Jemaicah for helping me . I am forever in your debt because of what you did to helped me. I hope someday I could repay you." saka hinalikan niya ito sa pisngi.

       "No, need to thanked me. I thanked you for allowing me to help you. It is my greatest pleasure." Sabi nito saka pinisil ang kanyang mga kamay.

      "Well, I gotta go. See you, maybe in another lifetime."

       " If God, allows it." matamlay na wika nito saka sumenyas na umalis na siya. Agad din siyang tumugon sa ibig sabihin nito at nagpaalam ng matamis na ngiti.
