Avy's POV

Maraming nagsasabi na kapag napaginipan mo ang isang tao na estranghero sa'yo o kaya'y never mo pang nakikilala, ang ibig sabihin daw no'n ay its either namimiss ka ng taong 'yon o may posibilidad na iniisip ka niya palagi hanggang sa pagtulog niya. But in my case, kahit anong ideya wala akong maisip kung sino man ang taong iyon. In my whole life, I never experienced that until I turned sixteen years of age. I still remember that day how my life changed ever since he appeared in my dreams. All I thought was that it was just a normal dream anyone had. Pero tila ba nagpatuloy iyon hanggang sa lumipas ang dalawang taon na sunud-sunod ko siyang napapaginipan. I know to myself that it was the same person I've been dreaming about. At sa paglipas ng panahon, hindi ko inakalang mahuhulog ang loob ko sa kanya. Once or twice a week, napapaginipan ko siya. I researched it but it wasn't a lucid dream.

Hanggang sa nakasanayan ko na nakikita ko siya sa panaginip ko. I loved how I could see so many emotions in his eyes, it melts my heart how he smiles at me, his voice calms my heart, the way he held my hand, it felt like there were a thousand volts when his touches mine. It felt so surreal and I could feel butterflies playing inside my stomach. It was an unexplainable feeling. It made my heart skip a beat whenever he stole a glance from me. I love the way he talks, the way he treated me like I was someone special to him.

Every single night, I'm hoping that I will see him again. Hanggang sa pinangarap ko na makita siya ng personal at makilala ko siya. Tila ba hindi ako kuntento na nakikita ko lang siya sa panaginip ko. Inanais ko siyang makikila pa. But the question is...how? And where could I possibly find him? There are a billion people in this world and it will be difficult for me. When I thought I was giving up on finding him, something was telling me not to.

Napahinga ako nang malalim matapos kong maisulat iyon sa aking diary. I wrote every random scene with him in that notebook. I recorded every single one of them. Hatinggabi na pero heto ako, nagsusulat at umaasang hindi lamang panaginip ang lahat ng iyon. Dahil hanggang ngayon, patuloy ko pa rin siya napapaginipan kahit tatlong taon na simula no'ng nakilala ko siya sa panaginip ko. And it still bothers me. Nilingon ko ang aking kapatid na mahimbing nang natutulog sa higaan niya. My sister, Majesty, is like my human diary. I told her everything about that guy. At kahit siya nagtataka pa rin. Simula pagkabata namin dalawa, hindi na kami mapaghiwalay sa isa't-isa. She was my sister, my best friend and my human diary. We have similarities but the only difference is that she was an introvert. She was kinda afraid to socialize. Unlike me, I was an ambivert. I can socialize as well as be happy to be alone sometimes. Our parents stayed in Japan for some business matters.

Kami lang ni Majesty ang magkasama pero may tinuturing kaming nanay na matagal nang nag-aalaga sa amin simula no'ng sunud-sunod na business matters ang pinupuntahan ng magulang namin. At ngayon na nasa labing-siyam na taong gulang na ako habang si Majesty naman ay nasa labing-pito, kinakaya na namin na asikasuhin ang aming mga sarili. Si Nanay Eli lang ang gumagabay at nagbabatay sa amin dalawa. I heard her moan a bit then rub her eyes and glare at me.
