Lie Down My Damon

"Remember the tale that I've told you, Aquila?" Tiya Rosa asked as she sat at the sofa right infront of me.

Mula sa iginuguhit na larawan ay umangat ang tingin ko sa kaniya. Abala kasi ako pagguhit ng larawan ng isang babae. Nakahiligan ko na rin ang pagguhit lalo na ang mga bagay na mistulang mula sa panaginip ko.

Madalas ko ring iginuguhit ang itsura nito simula nang lumitaw siya sa panaginip ko, may pakiramdam baka bigla ko siyang makalimutan, natatakot akong baka bigla ko hindi maalala, lalo at sa panaginip ko lang siya nakita.

Weird it might would sound but I really felt attached on her even if she's just showing up on my dreams, and for unknown reason. I felt at ease just by looking at her smiles.

Kung bakit ko siya napapanaginipan at kung sino siya ay isang misteryo pa rin sa akin. Actually, hindi lang siya ang napapanaginipan ko but most of my dreams were unclear and blur.

As if something's blocking me to see those images. And all I can do was to be frustrated by being so confused when what is what or what it means. But maybe it's just a normal dream? I shrugged at that thought.

Tumango ako. "Is it about the story of the two lovers whom love was forbidden and underworld, Tiya?" Inayos ko ang pagkakalagay ng salamin aking sa mata. At parang batang natutuwang muling makuwentuhan ni Tiya.

Isa pa itong problema, mukhang kailangan ko na naman ng bagong grado ng salamin sa mata. Malabo na naman kasi ito at nitong nakaraan ay paminsanang sumasakit ang ulo't mata ko dahil dito.

"Yes, hija. Naalala mo pa?"

Tumango ulit ako at matamis na ngumiti. "Yes, Tiya! Pero pwedeng marinig ulit? I kinda like that story!" masayang sabi ko.

Napatawa nang mahina si Tiya at ngumiti. "Alright. Alright, hija." She took a deep breath before starting. "It's about an Angel who fell inlove with a Demon even without her noticing it by her self. They supposed to be enemy of each other and she should loathe him for who he is and what he is. But why, but why she feels otherwise? Instead of feeling hate she felt in her heart was love." Gumuhit ang ngiti sa labi niya.

"Love has no requirements naman, Tiya. You can love anyone," sabat ko.

"Oo naman, hija. But maybe not all the time. The world rotates, luck was not always on your side," saad niya naman. "The Angel was so irresistible so maybe that's the reason why the Demon fell for her, too. But the difference was, when the Demon admitted his feeling for the Angel, he didn't think twice to fight for it. He loves her so why not fight for it, right?"

Kumislap ang mata ko habang nakikinig. I'm already imagining the scenarios of a lovely Angel fell for a ruthless Demon! Until the Demon admitted that he loves her, too!

The happiest feeling of a person was being loved by the person they genuinly love. Not all people experiences the same and so they are lucky that they have mutual feelings.

Love, being followed by happiness and that's like a big success and fulfilment that you will ever experience in your life. Problem will always chase but by the love you'd still feel the contentment.

"They should be happy, Tiya! Bihira lamang ang minamahal pabalik ng taong mahal nila. They will face a lot of battle but that's just a part of it, right? Before they reach their happy ending, they will need to fight for it?" I said it just like what I've read on novels.

Everyone deserves a happy ending and so they'd have theirs, too!

"You know too much about love as if you've already experienced one, huh? Hmm, dalaga na talaga ang pamangkin ko," nanunuyang saad ni Tiya.
