DREAM 50:


I saw Anna by the river. She's humming as she rubbed her legs with her hands. Her dress flowed along the soft waves of the river. Her cream skin glowed under the sun.



How could she look like this? Paano siya naging ganito kaganda kahit wala naman siyang ginagawa? She's just humming by the river pero napakaganda niyang tingnan.




"My beautiful Anna."




There's that voice again. Kailan ko ba siya makikita? Sino ang nasa likod ng napakalalim na boses na naririnig ko?




Anna looked over at me. Even my heart wanted to melt from her smile.



Why was she looking at me?



She chuckled as she waved her hands in the air. "Halika na!"




Did she just call me?




No. She's looking at the one who's behind me.





I turned to see who it was.





Bigla akong napabangon nang makarinig ako ng kalampag. It came from the balcony. Agad kong isinuot yung robe saka pumunta sa balkonahe ng kwarto ko. I searched every side pero wala namang tao. Saan nanggaling yung ingay? I swear I heard it. I looked down to see if may bakas ba ng mga yapak pero wala. I swear what I heard was real.



Then again, ano ba ang alam ko sa kung ano ang totoo at hindi?

"This looks pretty. Do you want this, anak?" I hear Mom say.


I turn to look at her. Then at the dress she's showing me.


"So?" She waits for my response.


All I do is smile.


"We'll have this," she hands the dress to the lady. "And this one, too."
