"San tayo pupunta?" I asked him as I lean on the car's window.
"It doesn't matter where. It doesn't matter when. It doesn't matter at all as long as you're with me" he responded with a smile on his face still facing the road as he drives
"Ang landi mo talaga"
"Kunyari ka lang eh kinilig ka naman"
"Whatever"
He turned on the radio and the song called "Passenger seat" played.
🎶And I've got all that I need
Right here in the passenger seat, Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road knowing that she's inches from me. 🎶
I smiled at the thought that the song is all about us right now.
"Hey Lyst" He said as he stopped the car because of the red traffic light.
"Hey Brail" I said looking into his eyes.
"You really look stunning and I'm can't control myself anymore" he said and he cupped my face, intensely looking at my eyes.
Heartbeat going fast as if its gonna explode. The heat is too much and then I suddenlt felt a soft thing pressing into my lips. It moved and mine automatically moved.
We kissed like it was our last moment until
"BEEP! BEEP" Go na pala
Binalik ni Brail ang kanyang tingin sa kalsada at nagsimula na ulit magdrive.
"That damn car, why does he have to ruin it!" Inis na sinabi ni Brail at napatawa nalang ako
When we saw christmas lights all over a tree, we knew we had to stop there.
We took pictures at bumagay ang formal attire namin sa mga ilaw.
Kung ano ano ang ginawa namin, we went to a plaza and may mga ilaw everywhere and may mga food stalls na bihira makita sa lungsod.
The next thing we knew we're already at their province.
We stopped in front of a big house. Lumabas na kami ng kotse at sinalubong kami ng isang batang babae probably a teenager.
"KUYA!!" Sabi ng batang babae at sinalubong si Brail ng yakap
"Kuya, is he your girlfriend?" The girl said and suddenly winked at me
May kapatid pa si Brail bukod kay Kalirea?
"Her name is Alystra" sabi ni Brail sa kanya
Her sister went towards me and introduced herself.
"I'm Talia! Nice to meet you po!" Sabi ni Talia sa akin at nakipagkamay sa akin.
Talia and became instant bestfriends. We watch the same kdramas and we talked about it.
"Lil sis, hiramin ko muna siya ah" sabi ni Brail at ningitian lang kami ni Talia.
Lumabas kami at pinapasok ako ni Brail sa kotse.
He started driving again and he didn't say anything. The whole ride is silent.
We stopped near a mountain cliff. I was hesistant to get out of the car but Brail looked at me and signaled me to get out.
The view from up here is astonishing. I can see the sea, some fields and some houses from up here.
The wind is cold, chilly but it gave me that feeling. That fresh feeling. That feeling that you'll never going feel when I go back to the city.
I looked back and saw Brail sitting at the front of his car. I went towards him and sat beside him.
We looked up and saw many stars shining. Some is white, some in different colors.
"Stars are nice, they're pretty, they always shine." I commented
"But stars explode." Brail responded
"Why do you have to ruin it" I said and he just laughed at me
"I love you" he said in the most serious tone I've heard from him.
I looked at him and said
"I never thought that I'd love you too. So promise me Brail"
"Promise me that you'll never ever leave me again." I said tearing up
"I don't care at anything, I don't need anything as long as you're here. Ikaw lang sapat na sa akin" words that left my mouth that I didn't even think of saying.
"Alystra, I promise you. I promise you. I won't leave you alone again. I wont let leave by your side and I promise that I'll stay with you until my last breathe"
It might be the cheesiest words that I've heard but I'll never forget it.
"How can I be sure that you'll never broke that promise?" I asked
"Just trust me. Trust me that I'll never do it again. Just trust me" he said as he hugged me tight and I hugged him back.
Pagkakatiwalaan kita Brail. I'll trust you. So never leave me again.
We went back to his car with smiles on our face.
Magdrive na siya at abot tenga pa din ang ngiti niya. It has been bothering me for a while but I decided to ask him about what I overheard when Eleven and Brail are talking outside of my house 4 days ago.
"Uy Brail, nung pauwi ka galing sa bahay nung monday, diba nagkausap kayo ni Eleven?" I asked
"Ah...yeah? Ba..bakit?"
"Narinig ko kasi yung napagusapan niyo eh" I admit
"Huh? Anong na...narinig mo?"
"About him knowing your secret and you betraying me. What is he talking a----"
I wasn't able to finish when suddenly I saw a truck coming about to hit us.
"BRAI--" then everything went black.
I suddenly saw the puzzle being made with my own eyes. The one who's making it is familiar. To his eyes, to his nose and the entirety of his face is familiar.
"Papa para saan po yan?" I heard my young self saying
"Susi yan anak. Kapag nalagay iyong tamang number dito, magiging hugis susi siya at kayang buksan yung isang malaking pinto!" Sabi ng lalaki. Anak? Siya ba ang tatay ko
"Talaga po? Ano po yung tamang number?" Tanong ng batang ako
"12, 24, 42, 58, 17, 74"
"Ang dami naman po!" Reklamo ko at may ibinigay sa akin ang lalaki na papel.
"Iyan ang numero, importante yan! Para pag may nangyareng masama kay papa, alam mo kung paano buksan yan"
"Bakit ko naman po kelangan malaman?"
"Kasi pag alam mo yan para kang magiging superhero! Kasi may mga bad guys kang mahuhuli kapag nabuksan mo yung malaking pinto"
"Talaga po?! Wow! Magiging superhero po talaga ako?" Little me smiled at the thought of being a superhero
"Talaga!"
And I saw myself memorizing the numbers as I fell asleep. Then suddenly I saw myself inside a truck and we're about to hit a kid.
"AHHHHH" the boy screamed
The truck hit the side of the mountain and my father and I were unconscious.
I woke up with blood all over my body. A guy in suit went inside and rescued me...well I thought he did.
"You're part of an incident you must not know" That was the last thing I heard until I saw myself inside a hospital with people I didn't know.
Bigla akong nagising and I saw a man looking at me intensely.
It wasn't Brail. It wasn't Eleven or anyone I thought I would see.
Its the guy with the black hoodie.
The guy I saw in my dreams.
The man who made the puzzle.
My father.
