Avenge of the Fallen

CHAPTER 15

Woke up from a Beautiful Nightmare

Isang babaeng nakatalikod ang bumungad sa akin. Gawi ng mga kamay niya sa pag-aayos niya sa lamesita ay tila ba napakapamilyar. Tiningnan ko siya ng mabuti sabay narin ang lakas ng kabog ng aking dibdib. Ninais kong tumayo ngunit hindi ako makabangon.

Sa pagpapatuloy niya ay may lalaking dumating dala-dalang pagkain. Mabilis ang kamay ng babae at kinapa ang hapin sa lamesita tsaka inilagay ng lalaki ang dala niyang pagkain. Hindi ko maaninag ang kanilang mga mukha nung sila'y sumilay sa gawi ko ngunit alam kong nakangiti sila sa pagsilay sa akin.

Malakas ang kutob ko pero papaano ako napunta dito? Tanging alaala ko bago ako mawalan ng malay ay ang lalaking 'yon. Hinawi nila ang aking mukha at inayos ang konting gulo sa aking buhok. Sumabay ang pagbugso ng aking damdamin at bumuhos ang luhang hindi ko alam kung bakit kusang lumabas.

Ang tagal ko ng hindi nakakaiyak. Simula nung mawala ang dalawang taong dahilan kung bakit pa ako nandirito. Banayad ang bawat haplos ng babae sa aking mukha at maingat na inangat ng lalaki ang aking mga kamay upang ito'y hagkan. Bumibigat ang talukap ng aking mga mata dahil sa hele ng babae. Pinilit kong hindi madala ngunit mabilis akong inantok.

"Tulog na maganda kong anak." Rinig kong sabi nung lalaki. Mas lalong lumakas ang kabog ng aking puso. Nais ko silang masilayan at mayakap.

Ngunit tila nagbago ang ihip ng hangin at dinala kami sa isang kalsada. Sasakyang wasak na wasak at punong natumba ang bumungad. Ang mga kamay na nakahawak sa akin biglang lumuwang. Bawat hakbang nila ay tila karayom na tumutusok sa aking puso. Mga paningin ay hindi na klaro dahil sa luhang kusang tumutulo.

"Camilla baby, W-we love you. T-tell your brother we love him too." A slight smile escaped from her face. I am crying out of pain. I knew it was bad, something bad happened. It's their anniversary yet it's horrendous.

"I know you're smart Camilla and I want you to remember this day." My dad said as he pushed me off to the cliff. I protected myself as I rolled into the rough surface. A loud bang followed my fall.

I slowly opened my eyes. It was dark yet I could see light. I blinked often and tried to lift my hands. Needles, it's in my veins. I roamed my eyes. A rushing doctor immediately checked my sight with a lightstick or whatever that is. A warm hand caressed my hands. It was him.

He looked so exhausted. The layers under his eyes are vivid and his hair, it didn't look like usual messy hair. It was the worst.

"She's okay for now. But still she needs to continue her rest. No fighting and missions. Sanctions will be lifted so don't worry if she couldn't do her assigned missions." The doctor said before he left. I tried to utter a word but I felt so weak.

He grabbed a glass of water and helped me get up carefully. I drank the water. It felt so refreshing. I can see that he is nervous, his hands are trembling. I held his hands and placed the glass beside the bed. He was at ease.

"I'm really sorry. I should have—"

"None of it was your fault. I had let my guard down." I said simply to make him feel better. He sighed and sat beside me. He carefully fixed the hair that was bugging my face.

"I was fucking worried. I was scared as hell." He said.

Those words that seemed to normally send multiple reactions. I found myself smiling. I pat his head and he looked at me seriously. His manly features never lose its charm. His eyes are full of reassurance. It's like he is willing to do anything that's going on in his mind.

"Thank you." I said fully. Because of this incident I saw them again. I was missing them so much. A slight pang escaped from my wound. Maybe the painkillers paid off. With a sudden reaction his face turned into a worried one.

"What's wrong? Does your wound hurt? Should I call the doctors? What—Tell me—What should I do?" I laughed at his reaction. He looked confused with what I did.

"Hmm, let me see what you can do for me." I grin. He looked determined. "I want to eat chocolates, can you get them for me?" He took time to make a decision. Probably the doctors told him not to give me some sweets.

"I can get them.. but you can't eat them." He grinned back at me. I frowned when he did that. That was new! He's the better version of Soul.

"Is this you?" I asked him. He shrugged off and peeled a banana for me.

"Why? Do I make your heart flutter?" I nod. He looked stunned with my gesture. I wonder why?

"I like you to be you." I said. He quickly finished peeling the banana and got up.

"I-I need to go to the bathroom." He said while not even giving me a glance. His ears were red so that might be a reason why he needed to use the bathroom.

"Do as you please." I said and ate the banana he peeled off earlier. Before he could enter the bathroom something caught our eyes.

"My loves!"
