HAPPILY EVER AFTER

I woke up feeling so happy. Pakiramdam ko ang gaan sa loob. Pakiramdam ko, sa lugar kung nasaan ako ngayon, wala ng sagabal. Wala ng problema.

I roam my eyes around. May mga paru-parong nagliliparan at sumasabay sa simoy ng hangin na siyang lumalapat din sa aking balat. May mga punong sumasayaw kasama ang mga halaman. Mga ibong malayang lumilipad sa kalangitan. Mga tunog ng iba't-ibang hayop na tila'y musika sa aking pandinig.

Napatingin din ako sa sarili ko. I'm wearing an elegant white dress. I don't know why and how... but I am back with the younger me. Younger Science.

Huminga ako ng malalim. Napakunot ang noo ko at napapikit ako ng mariin ng maramdaman ko ang nagbabadyang luha sa aking nga mata.

Dala ang mga alaala noong ako'y nabubuhay pa... Sabihin na nating, maayos na ako ngayon. Wala ng problema. Wala ng bigat na nararamdaman. Wala ng paghihirap. But still, I feel so incomplete. Parang may kulang?

Mathiu. My Math.

I can't breath. Ang hirap huminga.

I remember his face. His smile, his laugh, his voice, his touch... Oh God. Where could I possibly find him in your paradise?

I started to walk around. Nilalasap ko ang masarap na simoy ng hangin at dinadama ang bawat tunog ng mga hayop.

"Hey?"

I was stiffened upon hearing some voice. A very familiar voice.

Dahan-dahan akong lumingon. Kasabay nang pagkakita ko sa taong nagsalita ay ang pag-unahan ng mga luha palabas sa mga mata ko. He's real! My husband is now in front of me!

He's the younger Math I knew. My dearest husband. He looks so fine and okay.

"M-Math..." ang tanging nabigkas ko.

"Hello. Who are you?"

Halos mawasak sa kapiraso ang puso ko. Hanggang dito ba naman? Lord, can't you just let the both of us happy? Kahit dito man lang sa kabilang buhay? Pwede ba?

"Hi. My name is Science and..."

"And?"

"I am your Wife."

"My wife?" tumango-tango siya na para bang may iniisip, "My wife who happened to be that strong? My wife who happened to stay beside me all along? My wife who happened to be the most and the best of all? My wife who never got tired of taking care of me? My wife who never gave up upon staying beside me? My wife- whom I happened to forget everyday but never ever got the chance of giving up? Oh. Yes. That's my only wife. Ikaw ba 'yon?"

Napahagulgol ako nang dahil sa sinabi niya.

My Math... My Mathiu... My husband...

"Y-yes. It's me. Your one and only."

He chuckled, "Hey, Wife. Don't cry. I remember the every bit of you. Your curve, your smile, your laugh, your voice, your touch and everything about you."
