LOST

LOST - 4

Gion couldn't help but to stare at Jariell who looks so peaceful while lying in the cold floor like a normal human being who's sleeping.

"Ghost can sleep too?" Gion innocently asked to himself. He walk toward his king side bed and grab the blanket because he knows it's cold but Gion stop instantly when he realized that it was a ghost. So, he put the blanket back. He bend down to stared at Jariell's face like he is memorizing the latter's features. Gion didn't notice that his hand was slowly moving to touch the ghost.  But Jariell hand stopped him by holding his wrist. The ghost opened his eyes. The moment Jariell touches his wrist another memories appeared in his head and it was a plea. Cries and loud bangs of a gun. But he cannot see what exactly happening in that scene. Jariell saw how Gion's expression changed into scared terrified. He immediately removed his hand to Gion's wrist but it's too late. The little one was already crying.

"G-gion, shorty..." He tried to call Gion but it was preoccupied from those memories keep running in his mind but it's too blurry. It's not clear. Jariell don't have any choice but to hold Gion once more to share his happiest memory. Gion felt a cold hand touching his hand tightly and as he felt that. Another wave of memories flashed in his head but he's sure it's not memories of him. It's Jariell memories. The ghost was happily laughing with his parents. The sound of laughters slowly help Gion to relax himself. Gion came back to his senses. His eyes locked to the ghost eyes.

"H-how can you do that?" 

"That's one of the ability of being a ghost. We can share our memories."

"Who are you, Gion? Bakit kita nahahawakan na parang totoong tao? Then why everytime that I will touched you there are series of blurry memories will flashed in my head? And how come that you are here?" Gion have many question in his mind. Everything was strange. Lalo siyang naguguluhan.

"I don't know either but Gion, I think we have connection. The first moment you touched me some of my memories came back. And it make sense now. I'm not stuck in that hospital room. I'm stuck with you. I don't know maybe the reason why I can't ascend was I still have business here and I think it's something to do with you. I-I think you are my last hope to find the way home. Ikaw ata ang sagot para makaakyat ako." Gion took a deep sigh. He feel that everything was so complicated.

"I don't know. I feel so lost." Jariell smile at him.

He stood up and sat down in the bed as if he owns it. He nods his head and spoke. "We are both lost, Gion. Let's find the right way. Let's dig our past. Let's see what makes us connected." Gion wasn't sure if he saw sadness in Jariell eyes.

"Saan tayo mag-sisimula?" the only thing he can asked.  Dahil alam niyang hindi niya alam kung saan kakapa. He doesn't know where to start. His mind is in chaos.

"Sa pagpapagaling mo." the ghost said while giving him a smile that gives him assurance that everything will be okay and that's make Gion feel calm after everything.

"No one will tell about Gion's parents death. He isn't ready for it." Tyler command to the maids, drivers and butlers in Allego's mansion. They all nodded but curiosity and fear can be seen in their face.

"Neil, why are you still okay with this?" Flynn asked his friend. They are in the garden of Gion's family house.

"Flynn, do you still hate him aren't you?" Flynn chuckled as he heard Neil question.

"Don't play innocent Neil. We both wished him to die. But he is lucky isn't it. God really loves him and ended up waking up."Flynn tears streamed. The pain was crushing him.

"We've been hell since Gion entered in our life. But he is also an angel. I am really guilty. We hated him but we can't avoid the fact that Gion was really special to us." Flynn voice cracked as he said those. He sip in his wine before looking at his friend who is also crying. Neil shrugged his head. He still thinking the question Gion asked in the car.
