Novel & Cerita Another Memories To Keep

"If you want to help me, why don't we start talking about what happened to our relationship before we got into an accident? Hindi ba mas maganda 'yon at baka bumalik lahat ng memory ko?" "Babalik pero sasakit?" "Hindi natin malalaman kung hindi susubukan." "I don't want to force your brain to remember everything. Kaya gusto ko dahan-dahan. If you remember the things that make you mad, will it help you to recover? Why don't we start with the good memories? Bakit gustong-gusto mong maalala lahat ng pangit?" Ngumuso ako at pinaglaruan ang daliri sa kamay.

Hindi naman ako magpapakaboba para sabihing nakalimutan niya na ang lahat tungkol kay Leah because you can't just easily forget someone who became not just a part of your life, but your life, your world. He cupped my cheeks and my eyes instinctively closed, just savoring his soft touches and feeling the warmth of his hands. "No. Because you know what? You are here." Minulat ko ang mata ko and I saw how deeply he looked at me. "You didn't make me forget. Because memories fade but they can still be remembered. The memories of my broken heart are still stored somewhere in a part of my brain but with your help, I moved on."

Matagal siyang tumitig sa'kin, bago nakakalokong ngumiti na parang alam niya na ang lahat. "Or maybe, you never forgot. You never lost your memories." Napatulala ako sa kaniya. Hindi ako makasagot, hindi rin ako makatanggi. Dahil totoo. I never lost my memories. I just pretended that I did. I just lied. Because those memories are better off forgotten, but my mind can't. So I lied, so people would stop asking me about them. "Well, either way, I don't care!" Tinanggal niya na ang paa niya sa baba ko.

Hindi naman ako mayaman pero afford ko naman kumain sa mga sosyal na restaurant na katulad nito. May mga iilang magkasintahan din ang kumakain. Ang sweet nilang tingnan. Hindi ko maiwasan mainggit sa kanila. Naisip ko tuloy kung gaano na ba kami katagal na hindi lumalabas ni Atticus? Ilang araw na itong busy pati ang aming anniversary ay nakalimutan na. Limang taon na kaming magkasintahan ngunit hindi pa namin ulit napag-uusapan ang tungkol sa kasal namin.

Nais kung imulat ang aking mga mata upang malaman kung sinong-sino ang mga ito. "I'm sorry! Some memories are lost to him, you and your twins children are one of them, except for his parents," nagtataka ako kung anong ibig sabihin sa lalakeng nag sasalita. "But don't worry. Four or Six months, his memory will come back of his own," dag-dag nitong sabi sa lalake.

sabi niya. "Pero makakatulong ba talaga siya sa mga tao para mabawi ang kanilang memorya " tanong ni Amy. "Oo, kaya niya. At least, nasaksihan ko na gumaling siya sa dalawang taong nawalan ng memorya. Infact, pwede kang mag-browse sa G**** e tungkol sa lumang pantas," sabi niya. Inilabas ni Amy ang cellphone niya at pumunta sa G****e website," anong keyword ang dapat kong i type sa search box?"

Hindi niya alam kung bakit pero biglang may nakita siyang binata sa isip niya. "Your situation right now really reminds me of her," Lord Versailles continues. " Alzeihmer's was taking her away from me and yet what she told me changed my perspective. She told me that forgetting things was therapeutic for her in all the positive ways possible. She said that after everything, the most important thing is that by the end of the day, she knows that I'll be the one remembering. I'll be the one treasuring our memories together. She was assured that our love will not be forgotten."

Gising na pala siya, hindi ko naman napansin. “Oh, ano? Binabangungot ka na naman? Feeling ko talaga may parte si Sella, April at Melody sa buhay mo eh. Wala ka namang sinasabing may amnesia ka. Natatandaan mo pa naman ang nakaraan mo, diba?” Medyo inis na may halong kuryosidad niyang tanong.

Malungkot niyang tugon at sa tuwing pinipilit niyang isipin kung sino at taga-saan siya ay nakakaramdam siya ng matinding kirot ng kaniyang ulo. " Huwag mong pilitin ineng kung hindi mo maalala, ang importante ay ligtas ka!" Maya-maya pa ay iniwan na siya nito upang makapagpahinga. Ang pagkawala ng kaniyang memorya ay malaking kakulangan sa kaniyang pagkatao. Ni hindi niya alam kung sino ba talaga siya kung kaya Iyah nalang ang itinawag sa kaniya ng matandang kumopkop sa kaniya.

It will always remain, and will always unfold things. I am grateful for what fostered in our marriage. And as I carve a lone way forward through this surreal new world for me, I felt loss and grey. His departure may be is painful, but his memories with us were beautiful and meaningful. And I realized that it is more painful if the person died have a lot of memories for you to remember and review. Because it’s the good memories that we cherish that remains. The promises and plans, the small rants and wisdom, the arguments and forgiveness, and the love that awaits for the soul.
