![]() CHAPTER III. HAUNTING MEMORIESA Chapter by Dhaye![]() I sat on the sand. I feel so tired. No, I am not tired of walking. My soul is so tired…of everything.![]() It’s Saturday so the family decided to have an outing. It’s been five days since I left the hospital. We are here in a beach resort where I can breathe the fresh air and have a little sunlight for my skin. They are already swimming, but I have chosen to walk in the sand barefooted. They say that it is good for the heart.
While walking, I see other families having their outing at the nearby beach resorts. There are big families. There are couples only. I feel like my heart is being pricked when I see a couple walking hand in hand. I know it's not right but I envy that woman for having his man beside him. I have never felt such attention from Miguel, and would never feel it anymore. My tears seem to fall again. I remember Miguel. Now I feel my heart is dying to see him. I really missed him so much. I sat on the sand. I feel so tired. No, I am not tired of walking. My soul is so tired…of everything. I looked at the resort where we checked in. I am already far from it. Nobody will notice if I cry. I can’t control my tears anymore. I want to cry! And so I cried. Memories keep flashing back on my mind. I can’t control it. Miguel is always a part of everything within me. The lagoon. The balcony. That room. Everything is clear. His memories keep on playing like a big screen that I am watching now. © 2013 Dhaye |
