June 7, 2113"SO you're not really stopping that delusion to a hundred-year-old group?", wika ng kaibigan kong si Viel na nasa likod ko lang nang marinig niya ang isang kanta ng BTS na Magic Shop ang title. I rolled my eyes as she even emphasized the words 'hundred-year- old' para ipamukha sa akin kung gaano ka-ancient ang choice of music ko.
Hindi naman talaga ako interesado noon sa BTS o sa kahit anong kanta nila dahil latest songs ang palagi kong pinapakinggan pero nagbago ang lahat last week. Last May 28, as I've expected, the mysterious nightmare appeared once again. Every year, the same exact nightmare never failed to appear in my life. Sa nightmare na iyon ay nakikita ko ang katapusan ko na nagiging dahilan para magising ako nang may mabigat na pakiramdam.
It's setting has always been a gloomy night in a seashore and I'm seeing myself alone in there. A sudden authoritative voices bothered me but I don't have any idea who are they. Next, the darkness swallowed the seashore where I am and a purple light emerged from the darkness but I discovered its just a flashlight emitting a purple light. Suddenly, the whole place was shaken violently making me drop the flashlight I was holding and it created a loud shattering sound. I was left in the darkness once again then I heard a lot of screams and found myself in a plane with its passengers in chaos. In the end, a loud explosion following a tremendous fire happened and I met my death.
Every May 28, I always wake up with hot wet tears running down my cheeks. I mean who wouldn't cry if you saw yourself burning inside a plane, right?
I thought I was done worrying about that stuff since five years ago my Dad advised me to just let that day past and I should not seek for answers about the nightmare. I agreed to him since it looks like I'm finding an answer in outer space. Hindi ko alam kung saan at paano ko sisimulan ang paghahanap ng sagot sa kahibangan ko.
Ngunit sa panaginip ko noong May 28, napansin ko ang kaibahan nito sa mga naging panaginip ko sa ibang taon. Nagsimula ito sa isang kanta na may lyrics na lonely lonely lonely whale at sinundan ng mga salitang hindi ko na naintindihan dahil iba ang lengguwahe nito. I considered it as a major development of my nightmare because its the only thing clearly stated there.
In my 21 years of existence, I kept on asking why it always appear every year at the same exact day like its a birthday gift for me. Well, I guess it really is.
Last week, I searched the lonely lonely lonely whale lyrics in the internet and I found that its a lyrics of the song called Whalien 52 by BTS.
The group named BTS or Bangtan Sonyeondan is a South Korean boy group debuted in June 13, 2013. Yes, one century has passed since then but their song affected me somehow.
The moment I heard the melody of Whalien 52, a familiar feeling rise from me and I'm crying all throughout the song. The tears burst down my cheeks like a water dam until it reached my lips forming in a bittersweet smile. Hindi ko naiwasang maramdaman ang magkahalong saya at lungkot habang pinakikinggan ang kantang iyon dahil sa ideya na ang mapayapang ganda nito ay matatagpuan na lamang sa nakaraan.
