She's A Mermaid

I feel so okay of her agreeing to go back inside the villa. It means I can prevent her from going to the sea and get herself in danger and I can finally make her eat. Hindi pa siya kumakain ng dinner. Nagaalala ako na baka makadagdag pa iyon sa isa sa mga rason kung bakit siya ganyan magisip. Why she thinks she's a mermaid.

I prepared the food and told her to eat. Which she obliged. It made me happy. Finally makakakain na siya. Hindi na siya magugutom, sometimes hunger can make you imagine impossible things so I'm preventing that one so I'll make sure she eat a lot today.

It was nice and satisfying looking her eat. Medyo nakakatawa lang na kinamay niya ang kanin kanina.

Breakfast with her is fun. No dead air. She was asking me things that I'm answering. Cause I told her I'll teach her.

Kahit na alangan akong turuan siya dahil parang nakakabaliw dahil alam kong alam niya naman ang tinuturo ko. But it feels like she didn't know anything and she looks so happy learning new things. Which is crazy for me. Medyo naniniwala na kasi ako na baka hindi talaga siya tao. But its really fucking impossible. This is the fucking reality. We are not fucking living in a fantasy book or fantasy movie. What she's saying is close to impossible. Baka lubusan talaga akong maniwala once she turn into one.

At kung mangyari man iyon anong magiging reaksyon ko?

But I doubt it. Walang sinuman ang nagpapatunay na totoo nga ang mga sirena. What we learned about them are all myths. Or came from a fantasy crazy mind. Mermaids are made to scare someone or pasayahin.

Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. Bakit ko ba iniisip ang posibilidad nito na kinokontra ko naman. Ako yata ang nababaliw.

I just looked at Pearl. She's looking at the sea.

Every time I catch her looking at the sea I can always see the sad reflection into her eyes. She looks like she's longing to be there.

What if really? She's a mermaid?

Oh fuck! Stop it Draco! Mermaids are fiction! They are not fucking true!

I think she's just crazy!

But I can't accept that she's crazy. Pero kung iisipin mas maniniwala pa akong nababaliw ito kesa sirena siya. Kasi impossible talaga. 'Cause between the fucking two choices the closest to possible is her being out of her fucking mind.

Napayuko ako. Hindi ko matangap na na nawawala talaga siya sa katinuan.

Sobrang ganda niya at mukha naman siyang normal.

Normal really? Hindi normal ang pinagsasabi niya. I should really not get swayed by a pretty face.

Pretty face are just pretty. There maybe depths on those faces but there could be one like her. A pretty face with a losing mind.

I looked at her. Tahimik lang siya at nakatitig pa rin sa dagat.

"Anong iniisip mo?" Tanong ko.

Huminto ito at ibinaling ang paningin sa akin. Nginitian niya ako ng malungkot.

Her sad smile made my heart ache.
