Déjà Vu

I was cleaning my things earlier to make way for new clutter when I found an old letter from a former flame. This was written on the cover of a CD that was full of his favorite songs. (Blogger's Note: I still wonder why this did not contain my favorite songs!). 

Reading the letter made me smile. It brought back familiar feelings much like how I felt when I went to visit my old office this afternoon. (Blogger's Note: They told me that I did not change a bit since they last saw me four years ago. It made my day, it could only mean that I still look 24 and back then, I was hot!)

The weird thing is, I can't help but notice the similarities between what happened then with what is going on right now. I am hoping, however, that my now would have a happier ending. Or better yet, it need not end at all.

Once upon a time, August nun, uhmm 10pm daw... 

nabore ang isang nursing student uhmm napakasimpleng nursing student, 

nabore sya kasi naubusan sya ng Ragnarok load

kaya naisipan nyang maglinis ng kanyang kwarto 

at sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari ay kanyang natagpuan 

ang isang napakalumang sulatan na naglalaman ng mga lumang telephone numbers. 

Naisipan nyang tawagan isa isa pero nagulat sya 

kasi kakaiba ang isang numero kaya nya tinawagan ito

at hindi nya inaasahan na ang makakasagot ay walang iba kung hindi si... 

LIPAAAAAD... 

KRYSTALA.

Naalala ko tuloy nung una tayong nag-usap. 

Tawa lang tayo ng tawa kahit hindi pa tayo close. 

Di naglaon, naging maayos naman ang kanilang pag-uusap. 

At sa di inaasahang pangyayari ay kailangan lumipad ni Krystala papuntang Iloilo 

kaya naman napaaga ang kanilang EB. 

At kagaya ng inaasahan, 

hindi naging kaaya-aya ang kanilang pagkikita. 

Pero di naglaon, dahil sa powers ng Krystal Ball

unti-unting ginayuma nya ang mabait at batang nurse. 

At habang lumalaon ay gabi-gabi na silang nag-uusap. 

Hanggang isang gabi, habang nakasakay sa jeepney ang cute na nurse, 

napansin nya ang mga kumukutikutitap na Christmas lights 

at naamoy na nya ang Christmas Pine Scent ng Surf. 

Wakoko. 

Naramdaman nya na parang masarap ngayong panahon na ito. 

Kaya nung December 1, 

ipinagtapat na ng nurse na mahal na nya si Krystala. 

At doon nagsimula ang kanilang pag-iibigan.

P.S.

My ex-lover likened me to  Krystala, with matching super powers.   

He claimed that I used my powers to make him fall in love with me.

He cringes whenever he sees me watching the show. 

Deep inside, I knew he loved it too.
