Aeon is the god of eternity.
I remembered my auntie told me that my mother got my name from a greek god. They said that my biological mother is fond of Greek myths. And Aeon is her favorite, though I can't remember her face because she passed away when I was 3 years old because of an accident with my father, my aunt always told me how my mom loves me.
"Your mother really loves you so much. He named you "Aeon" because she wanted to always think that time will never be a hindrance to you. Even how many months or years pass by, you have the power to conquer them all. You are empowered to change your own fate."
I smiled. Aeon is the other name for the god of time, Chronos. Naisip ko noon na sana totoo na ako ang diyos ng oras. Na sana kaya ko pa ibalik lahat. If I could just rewind everything from the start, I'll do my best to make it right. If I could just go back from the past I would say countless of 'I love you' to her. If I could just.
Pero nang naging maayos na ang lahat sa pagitan namin ni Irene tsaka naman may dumating na isa pang problema. Problema na hindi dahil sa hindi siya makakita kundi problema na iniisip niya na magiging pabigat lang siya sa akin. How could she think of that? Kahit kailan, hindi ko 'yan naisip. I don't care if she's blind, deaf or mute. I love her for unpredictable reason. Lahat ng ginagawa niya, kahit na katangahan at katawa-tawa, lahat ng 'yon tinulak ako para mahulog sa kanya. Ngayon, sa sobrang taas ng hinulog ko pakiramdam ko, hindi na ako makaka-ahon at patuloy pa akong nahuhulog.
Kung noon naisip ko na gusto kong ibalik ang oras, ngayon, gusto ko na itong pabilisin. I just want to fast forward to the day where we can live happily ever after like in fairy tales. But I know, I just need patience. My mother is right, I have the power to conquer time. Even how many challenges, destiny threw to us, I can still stand up and face in every twist and turns I've gone to. This is life, then this is how I would deal with it. With my love for her, I can do anything. Because our love what makes me breath--what makes me live.
It took us another year and a couple of months before Irene was cured. She have finished all of the several tests and corneal transplant. I'm very thankful that the operation was successful, though the doctor told us that the cornea might not last for a life span. I know it can repeat again, but we are willing to take the risk as long we are together.
Lumunok ako at saka tumingin sa aking relo. Nasaan na si Irene? She is late for about 30 minutes, kinakabahan na ako. Kanina ko pa siya tinetext. Baka may nangyari sa kanya o hindi siya nagising ng maaga o di kaya.. umatras siya?! NO. Napabuntong hininga ako.
"Aeon, easy lang? Hindi ka i-indianin ni Irene. Para kang hihimatayin eh." Natatawang sabi ni William habang tinatapik ang balikat ko.
"Oo nga, kuya. Masyado kang kabado. Para ka ngang estatwa sa kinatatayuan mo. Ni hindi ka gumagalaw!" Echo commented.
Nagpakawala nanaman ako ng malalim na buntong hininga. Sino ba naman ang hindi kakabahan? Kagabi nga hindi ako makatulog dahil sa kasal namin ngayon. Wala nga akong balak makipagkita kahapon kay Irene dahil natatakot akong dumagdag pa lalo ang kaba ko pero nagulat na lang ako nang natutulog siya sa kwarto ko sa unit.
