Reminiscing The Memories Novels & Stories

Memories after memories are keep on flashing after my eyes. I know that what I was reminiscing right now are the things that I'd been praying to experience again--memories I have with him, with Michael.

" 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."

"Hey, I know what you're thinking bro, hindi ko sinasabi na lumayo ka kay Emy, what I mean to say is that baka masyado lang kampante si Emy sa presence mo kaya no need na for her to recall anything about your past." "Pero paano kung tama ka? na kailangan ko muna lumayo sa kanya kahit sandali at baka sakali bumalik ang memory niya ng tuluyan?" "Well ang tanong is kaya mo ba? kaya n'yo ba ni Emy? Look bro, why focus on the past memories while you have each other at the present? why not create another memories together and forget the past. in that way both of you can move on.

It’s almost like we’re just reminiscing about the past. It’s not an issue to me at all. Those places we go to are usually quiet so I have no problems with it. The silence is not making the atmosphere awkward at all. Instead, we get busy reminiscing that we don’t even talk to each other anymore. She would usually speak just to remind me that in that place, we did something stupid there, we did something memorable here and stuffs. I just listen to her because all of the things she’s mentioning are still intact in my head. I can remember it well as if it just happened yesterday. I would hear her laugh softly every time. And that’s making my heart melt.

I remembered every bit of what happened, and everything that I felt. Nag-init ang pisngi ko sa mga alaala. Sinupil ko ang sarili dahil sa kahibangan. Dapat na pagsisihan ko ang ginawa at hindi dapat naghahangad pa ng kasunod dahil lang nakalasap ng sarap. Oh, great, I’m daydreaming when this isn’t the time to reminisce that hot night.
