(COMPLETED)The Heart Recognizes- MR. STONE BOOK 2

11

"I-im here in shangrila manila. I checked in here. I want to stay away from home muna. Room 183."

"I'll be there in less than an hour..."

Alam ko. Alam kong mali. But my heart is telling me something different. I know she is not Cara. Matagal nang patay si Cara. Even her family had moved on from her passing. Pero hindi ko alam kung ano ang nag udyok sa akin. This is crazy but what can I do? I can't force myself not to care.

"Zack, my man...can I borrow your copter to send me back to Manila? May emergency lang..."

"You got it man..."

"Thanks man."

Hindi niya alam kung bakit hindi siya mapakali ng nasa helicopter na siya. He is feeling different emotions. 

Kaagad siyang sumugod sa hotel na sinabi nito. Tumigil lang siya sa kakatakbo ng narating na niya ang pintu-an ng kwartong inuokupa nito. HIndi siya kaagad kumatok. Tinitigan muna niya ang room number na naka paskil sa pinto ng kwarto. 

Room 183

Mas lalong bumilis ang tibok ng kanyang puso. He is now getting afraid of what he is feeling. Ano kayang tulong ang ibig nitong sabihin..? He knocked 3 times and waited for the door to open.

"B-braxton... you came..."

"H-hello..."

Nang magtama ang mata nila... hinding hindi si Mariel ang nakikita niya. Para sa kanya si Cara ang nasa harapan niya. gustong gusto niya itong lamusukin ng halik pero nanaig ang pag pipigil niya sa sarili. He don't want to blow off the moment. Gusto niyang marinig at malaman ang lahat ng gusto nitong sabihin.

Now, they are sitting on the small dining table for two sa loob ng hotel room. 

"What it is that you need my help for?"

"Uhmmm hindi ko alam kong paano ko sisimulan." SHe sighed and looked at me straight to my eyes with a pleading look.

"I'm willing to listen..."

"Ganito kasi yun Braxton. Dalawang beses pa lang tayong nag kita but I don't know why feeling ko ay kilala kita...Almost 2 years ago ay nagising ako sa isang hospital bed with no memories at all from my past. The one in front of me is my Mom which also happens to be my doctor. I was in coma for a few days. Nang magising ako ay sira2x ang balat ko including my face. She said it is from a car crash. I had no memory at all, so I have to ask her everytime there is something that I don't know or I wanna know. I undergo series of physical operations to look pleasing again. The moment she brought me back home ay hindi ko maramdaman na pamilyar sa akin ang bahay. She told me I already have a permanent amnesia. A part of me is saying na hindi totoo yun. Because time to time I have weird dreams. I managed to keep all those dreams from my mom. I have dreams about fashion shows... about calling someone kuya and dad. It is weird dahil si Mom lang ang meron ako. Sabi ni mommy ay patay na ang daddy ko when I wasn't even born yet and I am the only daughter she have. Wala siyang ibang anak..."

"Shit! your revelations are really giving me goosebumps... fashion shows? a brother and you calling someone daddy? Is this for real? Is it really possible that you are Cara?"

"Cara...? iba ang nararamdaman ko as I am saying that name... Cara..Cara..." Ulit pa ng babae. 

"Ok, let me breathe first and get my senses together. This is like a bomb that exploded straight in front of me..."

"Braxton, please...tulungan mo ako. Gulong gulo na ako. Kahit ang mga pictures na ako daw yun before I met the accident is very different. I can agree with my face being different because I have to undergo plastic surgery but the skin tone of the girl in the pictures are very different from mine.... Kahit anong pilit kong paniwalaan na ako nga iyon. I just know....I just knowBraxton that its not me."
