Dream

Cresia's POV

Gumising ako ng may multo ng ngisi sa labi.

The dream was so quick yet adorable.

Sino ba 'yong hindi kikiligin kung kinasal ka sa panaginip mo sa taong mahal mo?

Sana totoo nalang.

I saw how tears fell in Al's eyes while he's staring me walking in the aisle.

My tears also escape in my eyes.

Not that I'm sad but because of the happiness that is overwhelming.

My hands is shaking not because of fear but because of love that is full filling.

How I wish that it's really true.

May be if that dream come true. I can't wish for another.

That man will be my first and my last.

Those words will be my sword to fight.

Those words will be my hope to strive.

Those words will be my heaven and hell will be our enemy.

To make a vow that I will be at his side forever.

From this day forward. You shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my words will be your home.

I smiled at that thought.

I sighed after hallucinating. I will make my dream come true. I will grant my own wish. I will make my way. To make him mine forever.

Napagpasiyahan kong maligo na.

Mag mamall ako ngayon.

Buy the things that is needed this coming school year.

I wear a high waist jeans and crop top.

I will make myself to a new version.

The real me.

I put a baby powder in my face and put some liptint.

Hindi ko na makilala pa ang sarili.

Bagong-bago na. Malayo sa dating Cresia.

I smiled to my reflection at the mirror.

Kinuha ko na ang sling bag ko at saka na lumabas ng kwarto.

Maybe Mama is correct.

I need to face the truth. I was born in this elite family so I should also be sophisticated in all things. Small or big.

I smiled at Manong Rene.

He smiled back too.

"Mukhang may lakad na importante ma'am ah" natatawa pa siya habang pinagbubuksan ako ng pintuan ng sasakyan.

"Wala naman po, Manong. May bibilhin lang po. Bakit pangit po ba ng suot ko?" nagtataka ko pang tanong sa kanya.

"Hindi ah! Maganda nga sa'yo tingnan eh! Naninibago lang ako sa'yo nitong mga nakaraang araw" sabi niya pa.

Natawa naman ako do'n.

"Nagdadalaga ka na talaga hija" dagdag niya pa.

I just smiled at him.

Ang ganda pala pagpinupuri ka ano?

Nakakagaan ng kalooban kasi kahit papaano may nakaramdam ng effort mo.

Sana lahat. Sana lahat ramdam 'yon diba?

Nang nakadating sa mall ay ako na ang kusang lumabas. 'Di na ako nagpabukas ng pintuan kay Manong Rene at mukhang nabigla siya do'n.
