I’m Just His Wife

Every word feels like the shooting stars

I’m at the edge of my emotions, watching the shadows burning in the dark

And I’m in love, and I’m terrified

For the first time and the last time in my only life … ~

I accelerated my walk even more. I can’t go wrong. That’s him!

I immediately stopped walking when I saw him. He was leaning against a beautiful tree, its leaves glowing and lush green in color. She smiled and sang as she looked up at the sky.

Like me, she also wore a white dress but she had no shoes on her feet. He also has a flower in his hand and also has a flower placed behind his ear.

I have nothing to say. Just, she’s so cute.

“Ate …” I didn’t say anything on my own.

Ate Rina stopped singing but the smile still remained on her lips. He turned to me first before he stood up. While I remained stunned with him while crying. I didn’t realize that I was crying.

He walked closer to me. I can see in his face the joy and the contentment I just saw now. She was happy now. Thank God.

“Andrea.” he called my name when he got close to me. His smile widened even more. “Welcome to my paradise.” masiglang aniya.

I could not answer. I closed my eyes tightly and I could no longer restrain myself from hugging him. I hugged him very tightly and there I cried on his shoulder. Good gods, I saw him again! I saw again the person who helped me get up then.

I heard her happy laugh and I felt her hug me back as well. I bit my lower lip to not sob but I betrayed myself. I sobbed loudly which made Ate laugh again. He was really like this when we were kids. He laughs at me when I cry and after that he will advise me a lot.

I missed her laugh, her smell, her smile and I miss her even more. I really miss my sister. If only I had been stronger I would not have lost him. Why was it that I became weak.

After a few minutes I stopped crying but Ate and I stayed in each other’s arms. She caresses my hair and back.

“Let go of me and face me, Andrea. Let’s talk.” he whispered in my ear so I immediately let go of our hug.

We were about five inches away from each other when we let go of our hug. She remained smiling while looking at me. She raised her right hand slightly and wiped my wet eyes and cheeks.

“Don’t cry, little sister …” she said softly. “All right, we can’t talk about this anymore.”

I moved away from him a little and rubbed my own eyes and cheeks. “I’m not crying, Ate. Okay, let’s talk. But …” I looked around at the place where we were standing now. I was really surprised. How can there be such a beautiful place in this world? “Where am I? Where were we? Why do I see and talk to you now?” I will ask.

Ate”s beautiful smile can’t be erased but it contains your mystery that I don’t know what.

“You’re here in my paradise, Andrea. You’re here in heaven.” Ate replied.

My eyes widened in shock. I sighed and stared at Ate. There was no mixture of lies in his voice and face.

“You mean … I’m dead?” I suddenly fainted. I almost forgot that I had been shot before. Seymour shot me.

Ate frowned and suddenly laughed. “No! Of course not. You’re not dead yet. God only allowed you to talk to me. He said that your everlasting faith in him should be given a prize. And that’s it. But your time was limited so ask now or talk to me about anything. ” Ate smiled and nodded at me.

“But … I can go back, can’t I? My children, Ate …” I looked at the ground and I was surprised when it seemed to be transparent and I could see what was happening below. My children were standing next to the hospital bed where … my body was lying.

“Don’t worry, Andrea. You can still come back. You just had a visit here in heaven.” Ate replied. “So, what’s up? Do you have any questions or do you want to come back?”

I looked up at him and shook slightly. “No. I want to ask you something …” I stopped speaking to cast a spell. “Why did you sacrifice your life for me?”

“Because I love you, Andrea …” he answered bluntly. “And I also wanted to live in peace that time. That’s the only way I know to make it all easier for us all.” he added.

“But you disappeared because of that, Ate. You shouldn’t have done that …” I felt a pain in my chest. Ugh, pain again.

He smiled at me. “But, that’s my choice, Andrea. Besides, you’re fine now, aren’t you? You don’t need me anymore. You’re strong now.”

I took a deep breath. “You conspired with Ivan then, right?” I will ask.

He nodded and smiled. “Yes. Since, we both want to protect you we just worked together. That guy loves you so much, Andrea. He’s willing to die just to save you.” I noticed the sadness in his voice so I frowned.

My gaze shifted to the floor again. I saw that Roxanne and Darlyn were both already standing next to me. But … he didn’t. Ivan was gone.

“Where’s Ivan?” I whispered to myself. Wouldn’t he even watch over me like they did Darlyn? Besides, where was he?

“Just choose to come back if you want to know the answer to that question.” Ate suddenly said so I shifted my gaze to her.

I nodded. “Okay …” I replied. “But wait, have you met Mom and Dad yet? Kuya Ryan? How were they?” I will ask.

Ate smiled broadly. ‘they’re fine here. Actually, they’re watching us right now. They also want to see you but I’m the only one allowed to talk to you. But, they’re telling you something …”

“What was it?” I smiled sadly. I’m stopping myself to cry. I don’t want to cry anymore.

‘they told you to be happy with what you have now, Andrea. They said don’t give up if you have a problem. And most of all they said they love you dearly. You were the only princess of our lives.” there were tears from Ate’s eyes and she suddenly hugged me.

“And … they also said thank you so much for fighting for us. We were proud of you, Andrea. You were the pride of our family. You survived that kind of life and death situation. While us? We didn’t. True That’s what Mommy said when I was young that we should take care of you because the fortune teller said to her then that you would be our savior … “I felt her caressed my hair. “And it’s true. You may not have saved us from dying but you did fight for the justice that you always wanted for us. You really were our hero, little sister. I hope, you will still be happy even if …” suddenly Ate stopped talking.

My forehead furrowed as I was suddenly enveloped in astonishment. “Even?”

Ate sneezed. “Even though … Even though Ryan and my parents were gone. But … I know you’re strong so you can handle that. Crisostomo’s were fighters, right?” I heard Ate’s loud smile.

I broke up with him and smiled at him. “Don’t worry, Ate. I already accepted the fact that you’re gone, though, it’s still a bit painful. But I’m trying to cope because I know you don’t want to make me sad.”

“Right.” Ate smiled even more. “Maybe you want to come back? You’re looking for Ivan, right? Wake up so you can find him.” was it just me or does Ate’s voice seem sad?

I bit my lower lip and sighed. “All right. I’ll be back. Until I see you again, Ate.”

“You will see me again, Andrea. But first, wake up and live your life better than before. You will need to be strong in the situation you face now.”

“What if, he doesn’t wake up? My goodness, Darlyn! What went through your mind and you let him shoot?”

“Hey there, Roxanne! Watch your words and don’t blame me for this. I didn’t know that Kuya was going to shoot her. Things were happening too fast. Besides, she’s here in the regular room. She’s stable and needed let’s just wait for him to wake up. ”

“Ugh! That’s Seymour! I’ll really tease him when we meet he’s an animal!”
