Chapitre 11: Chapter 11
"I should have given it to you," he replies, his voice laced with regret and pain. "I should have given you more time to enjoy."
"You gave what you could," she whispers as she lovingly traces a finger on his cheek. "On the bright side, we do have a few months left."
Niyakap niya ng mahigpit si Cass. Ipinatong ang baba sa ulo ng dalaga at agad na pinunasan ang luha na nagbabadyang tumulo.
Ayaw niyang makita kung gaano siya nasasaktan. Wala man gaanong alam si Heion sa nangyayari sa tagpo na ito pero alam niyang hindi biro ang sakit na nararamdaman niya.
She's sick.
"We have years, decades and forever, Cass. Not just months, okay? Huwag mong sasabihin yan. You're going to get better. We're going to get the best doctors, the best hospitals... and of course I'm here, your best husband." hindi man kita ni Heion ang mukha ni Cass pero alam niyang napangiti ang dalaga sa sinabi niya.
Kailangan niyang makita na malakas ako. Kasi sa akin siya huhugot ng lakas para lumaban.
She lets out a long, tired exhale. "Maybe. You know I'll always keep fighting this for us. But let's just use the time we have left, hon. What do you want to do?"
Marami siyang gustong gawin kasama si Cass. Mga bagay na hindi niya nagawa habang magkahiwalay sila.
"Hmmm anything na makakapagpasaya sa'yo, mahal ko." sagot ni Heion sa kanya.
Kumalas ito sa pagkakayakap at tumitig kay Cass. Hinawakan ang pisngi ng dalaga at marahang pinisil ito.
"Ikaw nga, hon. Gusto ko yung ikaw naman ang sasaya hindi puro nalang ako. Hmm? What do you want to do?"
He looks at her and knows in his heart that there is only one thing he wants most in this world. There is only one thing he wants in all the worlds, in all eleven universes, if they even existed.
"What do you want to do? Because I'll do it all over again with you." maramdaming sabi ni Cass at binigyan siya ng isang mabilis na halik sa labi.
The plane shudders as it hits yet another invisible bump. The lights begin to flicker again.
No. Not this time. Natatakot ako sa kung ano ang kakahantungan ng susunod na panaginip ko.
He wraps his arm around her, as if shielding her from the inevitable. He holds on to her in the hope that when this nightmare was over, she'd still be in his arms, safe and sound.
Unharmed. Alive. Happy.
"Ayaw mo? Sige ako nalang hihiling." sabi ni Cass.
"Anything, mahal ko."
"Do one thing for me, hon." bulong ni Cass kay Heion.
Around him, passengers start to whimper and scream. He strains to hear her soft voice, in what might be the last words he would ever hear from her.
Maybe it's not the last word. Yes, maybe.
"Find me again, hon." she whispers.
Dark.
Light.
Dark.
Light.
Nawala na si Cass sa mga bisig niya.
Dark.
