Diana's POV
The next day. Pumunta kami sa school theatre ng pamangkin ni Franki, anak ni ate Sophia si Miracle. She played the role of Alice, in Alice in Wonderland. Nagsisimula na ang play nang mapatingin ako sa tabi kong si Franki na nakangiti lang.
You deserve to feel like that for the rest of your life Franki. I mentally said.
Bigla syang lumingon at nag-abot ang mga tingin namin. Staring at her wonderful eyes, I suddenly felt like drowning.
What just happened? Where am I?
Bigla akong napunta sa isang lugar na wala akong ka ideideya kung saan. Hindi masyadong mainit, may garden na parang walang katapusan. Naglakad ako at nakarating sa gitna kung saan naghihintay si Franki. She's sitting on a red sofa wearing her beautiful smile.
I stood there confused,
"What's going on? Nasan tayo?."
"We're in a music video. Come sit with me."
Once I sat beside her,a song suddenly played and lumipad na sofa.
[Verse 1]
Welcome to wonderland
We've got it all
Potions and pastries that make you grow tall
Forrests and cottages, castles and cards that can talk
Welcome to wonderland
Look where you’re at
Maddest of hatters
The Cheshire Cat
Magical cabins and lovely white rabbits with clocks
"Hold on tight, you can't just fall somewhere else." Sabi niya. Pero nalulula na ako dito sa taas habang nakikita ang mundong puro kahoy at kakaunti lang ang mga bahay. At lahat ng bahay ay gawa lang din sa kahoy at bato like the old era.
"Is this even real? Nababaliw narin ba ako Franki?."
"You're not crazy, you're just drunk."
"What do you mean?."
"We're high. Literally haha."
[Chorus]
Dancing through a dream
Underneath the stars
Laughing till the morning comes
Everyone that leaves has a heavy heart
Oooh, won-derland I love
"Are we going to die?."
"Yes Diana. We are. Everyone does. Here, stand--"
"Mahuhulog ako--delikado Franki."
"Akala ko ba you're willing to fall for me?."
"I do but this is too much, I wouldn't risk my life just for this. Kaya please, bring me down."
[Verse 2]
Welcome to wonderland
I’ll be your guide
Holding your hand under sapphire skies
Let's go exploring or we could just go for
A walk
"If you are really willing to fall for me, you wouldn't be afraid to die or get yourself hurt Diana. Because when you fall, it's expected for you to break. Unless, you trust me with this." Napaisip ako. Tinitigan ko lang sya.
"Push me." I said to her.
"What?."
"I said push me Franki. I don't care anymore." She smiled and all of a suddenly, I'm just falling endlessly. Expecting my own death, but while I'm falling closer to the ground, I started seeing the world more clearly.
Welcome to wonderland
Where should we go
There's a tea party along down the road
Make an appearance and maybe they’ll sing us a song
[Chorus]
Dancing through a dream
Underneath the stars
Laughing till the morning comes
Everyone that leaves has a heavy heart
Oooh, won-derland I love
[Verse 3]
Nothing around here is quite
As it seems
Not sure if anything is real or
A dream
And the only thing sure from the stars
Is the song that's inside of your heart
Don’t let
It leave
When I am just 5 feet away from the ground face down, nagulat nalang when I landed on the same sofa na tinalunan ko with Franki's arms wrapped around me like a catching position, well she's basically under me. Umayos kami ng upo.
"See? You can't just let yourself fall for someone you don't fully trust because you're going to break. You didn't because I love you. Do you love me now?."
If this was a dream then at least I’ve got
Memories for when morning comes
Now that I must leave with a heavy heart
Oooh, won-derland I love
Nagising ako. Hayst panaginip lang pala. Kakatapos lang ng play. Ano bayan? Hindi ko tuloy napanuod, nakatulog ako buong presentation.
Sa labas.
"Sorry ah, nakatulog kasi ako sa kalagitnaan ng play. Napuyat kasi." I apologized to Miracle.
"It's okay Tita D. Atleast pumunta parin kayo dito ni Tita Franki." Sabi ni Miracle.
"Hay naku, kung alam nyo lang kung gaano ka excited to na makita kayo." Sabi naman ni Ate Soph. Nakakatuwa naman.
"Syempre, inggit na inggit ang classmates ko na I have two gay titas."
"Wait, what did you say Miracle?."
"Kasi mommy said that Tita Franki has a girlfriend and that's you Tita D. My classmates said it's really cool."
Nagtinginan nalang kaming tatlo. Ate Soph just looked at us apologetically.
"Wh-why did you think they said that?." Franki asked.
"Because they're like superheroes. They adopt kids that are unwanted by straight parents." Miracle happily explained.
"So, are you gonna adopt one in the future too? Can you adopt me please--"
"Omg Miracle, that sounded like I'm a terrible mom." Reklamo ni Ate Soph.
"I don't mean it like that mom, I'm just saying that it's better to have three moms. Ang saya siguro nun."
Nag-uusap parin kami hanggang sa nahatid na namin si Ate Soph and Miracle sa kanila. Ngayon ay ihahatid ko narin si Franki. Nagugutom nako, siguro naman may palunch si Tita Arlene. At tama nga ako, pinaghanda nya na kami for lunch. Nasa opisina nya ngayon sya kaya kami nalang ni Franki ang naiwan sa bahay.
Habang kumakain,
"Alam mo, you're sleep talking kanina--" sabi niya.
"T-talaga?."
"Oo. And you mentioned my name three times haha. Ibig ba sabihin nun kasama ako sa panaginip mo?."
"P-parang."
"So,anong nangyari dun sa dream?."
"Ano uh--kasi, andun daw tayo sa isang parang paradise tapos may background music katulad ng sa music video. Then umupo tayo sa lumilipad na sofa."
"I know I'm crazy pero listen to me lang. Dun sa kabilang world, kinuwento ko sayo na when you're in love parang nasa music video ka. Sabi kasi yun ng lola ko. Pero hindi ko sinasabing in love ka sakin ah. Naalala ko lang kasi yun. Those moments are the best memories. Kahit na sabihin pa nating di yun totoo."
FLASHBACK
"See? You can't just let yourself fall for someone you don't fully trust because you're going to break. You didn't because I love you. Do you love me now?."
EOFB
Ano yun? Bakit may ganun? Nababaliw narin ba ako? Ano tong nangyayari sakin? Bakit pakiramdam ko totoo lahat ng yun?
Madalas ang mga panaginip may ibig ipahiwatig, so anong ibig sabihin nun?
