Novel & Cerita Yesterday's Dream

Ginugol ko ang isang araw kong leave sa pagtulong sa pagtitinda ng mga gulay sa aming maliit na puwesto sa may palengke. Noong bata pa ako, all I ever dreamed was for our family to have a comfortable life. All I ever dreamed was for my parents to live an easy and stress-free life. Pangarap ko ring makapagtapos ng pag-aaral para matulungan ko sila. Sa mura kong edad, ay mayroon na akong mga priorities sa buhay.

“GUSTO KO LANG MAGING MASAYA! I CAN'T HAVE THE CHILDHOOD I WANT! THE TEENAGE LIFE I WANT! I CAN'T HAVE THE LIFE I WANT! ITO NA LANG, ITO NA LANG ANG PAMBAWI KO. I WANT TO LIVE MY MARRIED LIFE THE WAY I WANT TO!” “THEN SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER! YOU CAN'T! THIS IS LIFE, YOU CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING YOU WANT, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS! IT'S UNFAIR? SAANG NATION KA BA NAKATIRA? SA IMAGINATION? THEN WELCOME TO THE REALITY, PIECE OF SHIT!” “M-Mom? D-Dad? W-Why are you fighting?”

tukoy ko sa mic na nasa harap ko. "Kantahin mo na, nawalan ako ng gana," sabi pa niya. Kinuha ko ang mic at hinintay ang kantang naka-punch in sa videoke machine. Dreaming of You by Selena. Hindi halatang pang 90's itong si Razyl. The rhythm of the song reminisced my young life. Ang panahong wasak na wasak ako nang sabihin ni Braden na kalimutan na namin ang isa't isa...

“I don’t know. Siguro yung mukhang motivated man lang. Not unlike your look right now. Dinaig mo pa ang kakagaling lang sa break up.” Napabuga siya ng hangin at napasandal sa swivel chair. “I’m not getting a decent sleep lately,” aniya. “Work? Dude, I already told you to—” “No, it’s not,” he said, cutting him off. Nahilot niya bigla ang sentido. “I keep on having this dream—like there was this girl who was crying and she kept on telling me that she wanted us to go home. But the next thing I knew she was already lying in a pool of blood.”

Nang magdilat ako ng aking mata ay agad ko na inilibot ang paningin ko sa kabuuan ng silid na kinaroroonan ko. I just had a very beautiful dream last night, and I don’t want to wake up from it because, in that dream, I was with Evan. And in that dream, we are back in each other's arms.

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight 'Til tomorrow ('til tomorrow) and for all of my life And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Than here in my room Dreaming with you endlessly (dreaming with you, tonight) With you tonight (I want you to know I'll be holding you tight) And there's nowhere in the world where I'd rather be Than here in my room I'll be dreaming (endlessly) of you tonight (endlessly) And I'll be holding you tight ('til tomorrow) Dreaming with you tonight (endlessly, endlessly) Dreaming (endlessly) Laman si Jayda ng aking panaginip.Siya lang ang babaeng gusto kong makasama panghabang buhay.At pinapangako niya sa kanyang sarili na hindi na ito sasaktan pa.

Nagmaang-mangan kong tanong sa kanila with matching hawak pa sa baywang aytt. "Yiiiee pa-share naman ng dream mo ehe," kinikilig na sambit ni Annah. Huh? Ano'ng dream ba? Ayy 'yon ba? Ano nga ba ang dream ko kagabi? Hmmmmm? I dream about him, of how perfect our bonding together yesterday. Lalo na 'yong ackkkkk! (*>.<*) "Uyyy bakit namumula ka diyan ah? Share naman diyan,"

DAY 4 NATASIA'S POV I woke up with a heavy head. Slowly I opened my eyes and was surprised that I was lying in our bed. The last time I remembered ay sa couch ako nakahiga while watching series of movies at N*****x. I turned my head to my side, on the space dedicated for Chad but he was not there. Unconsciously, I touched the beddings and found it was warm. Maybe kakabangon lang din ni Chad. Pero what time na kaya siya nakauwi?

Nginitian ko na lang siya dahil hindi ko rin maalala kung anong pangalan niya at wala na rin akong oras para alalahanin kung sino siya. Nakita ko pa ang ilang mga kaklase ni Matthew at nakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil hindi ko pa siya nakakasalubong. Ayaw ko rin naman siyang makasalubong dahil panigurado hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. “Happy birthday, Kath!” ang ganda ni Kath sa suot niyang low-cut dress, revealing her cleavage. Makita mo pa lang siya alam mo na agad na siya ang bida ngayong gabi

patuloy na pang-aasar ni Jenny sa binata. “In your dreams!” Marahas na binitiwan ni Yazed ang balikat ng dalaga na para bang napaso ito bigla. “Oh! You even saw me in your dreams, huh!” Napangisi si Jenny sa nakikitang reaction sa mukha ni Yazed. Iwan ba niya pero nakakalimutan niya minsan kung bakit siya naroon sa pamamahay ng mga ito kapag nakakausap ng ganito ang lalaki.
