ICE GUILLERMO [Completed]

Kabanata 29

It was cold. I cant remember when and how I have been in this place. I didn't even know where is this.

From where I was sitting, my eyes caught something strange not to far from here. Out of curiousity I decided to go there.

As I walk closer, I realized that the strange something was not just a thing, but It was my babe in her white elegant dress. She was sitting along with the light green grass which was surrounded by beautiful flowers, but not as beautiful as her.

Her existence alone can make my heart beats crazy. I smiled the moment he turned her hwad around and our eyes met.

"Babe!" I shouted.

Instead of giving response, she stand up straight in her most elegant way and spread her arms wide open. She's asking for a hug.

Without further a do, I went straight to her and hug her so tight as if it was the last.

"I miss you. I thought you already left me, babe."

She remained silent.

She removed her arms around my neck and placed them both on my face. I was hypnotized by her stares. I no longer have the patience to wait so I leaned closer to give her a peck on her lips.

She smiled at me.

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you, only you. My love will only be for Xierra Eleonor in this lifetime, and I hope until the next."

I dont know what pushed me but I just felt the need to hug her more. She hugged me back, again.

We remained just like that for a couple of minutes. It was a beautiful scenery thats is worth to be captured and kept. I want to remember this.

While she was still in my arms she said.
"It's time."

"For what?" I asked.

"You should go back now, they are waiting for you."

"Babe, here is where should I be. Where I can be with you."

"I will wait for you, no matter how long. I'll will always be here."

"Babe? What are you saying?"

Instead of answering my question, she kissed my softly on my lips and unconciously my eyes closed and I kissed her back. She ended it and put a space between is.

When I opened my eyes, I was back to reality.

Reality where there is no longer Xierra eleonor. I dreamt of her again. A tear escaped from me eyes.

I heard a knock on the door and Mom went in.

"I just want to remind you na ngayon na ang burol, hindi ka pa rin ba pupunta, anak? Its your last chance to see her."

Thats not true, because everytime thats my eyes were closed, all I can see was her face.

I still cant accept it.

"Nak, bumangon ka na dyan, please. Malulungkot yun pag hindi ka pupunta."

"Mom, it hurts, so much." I tapped my chest while telling that to her.

"I know. I've been there, when your Dad left us. But you need to be strong, because thats what she wanted to happen, you know that. Come on, dressed up. We'll go when you're ready."

From getting out in my bed to wearing my clothes on, I was in my weakest state. I felt like my energy was drained from the few days that I stayed in my room.

We went straight to the cemetery. Mula sa kung saan nag park si Mommy, kitang kita ko na ang mga taong dumalo sa burol ng babaeng pinaka mamahal ko.

"You can cry, that wont make you less of a brave man Dude." My twin said.

"Lets go, boys."

Sinalubong kami ng Mama niya.

"Mabuti at nakarating kayo kahit na ganito ang panahon, napakalakas ng ulan."

"Its our Xierra, Tita. We wont miss this." Snow said.

She smiled at him and she looked at me.
"May ipapakita ako sayo, Iho."

Sumama ako kay Tita at dumeretso kami sa kung saan nakaupo ang isa sa mga doctor na dumalo sa naging operasyon ng mahal ko. She smiled when he saw us coming. She was her father's high school classmate from before.

"Maiwan ko muna kayo."

"Sige po, Tita."

Lumayo kami ng konti kung nasaan ang mga tao. Mula sa kinaroroonan namin ay nakikita ko ang kabaong.

"She told me to show this to you, when something bad happened to her."

She handed me a phone. She nodded when I looked at her asking for a permission to open it.

When it was unlocked, I saw a message that causes me to burstout into tears, again. If its not for the Doctor, I maybe fell into my knees now.

"Babe, why are you making this hard for me?"
