Prologue
It was so cold under this tunnel in the dawn when I hid together with him. He was all wet from the rain while holding my hand. I wanted him to stay forever beside me. I didn't want another tomorrow to come and I will be missing him again. What must be worst from it? What if... What if he will not comeback again into my arms?
The rain stopped pouring already after it flooded in this area. "When will I see you again? Do I still have chance to be with you again in the future?" I asked him. He was looking to the unknown. The place outside this tunnel was pitch black. "I'm afraid I will not be seeing you again."
As I knew tomorrow will really happen. This was the kind of war between the oppressors and the people. If only, if only I could turn back time where everything was fine, I wouldn't hesitate. I was afraid what will happen for tomorrow.
"You'll comeback, right?" Tears started rolling down my cheek again like a falls. "You will not get hurt right?"
He looked at me in the eyes, looking so tires. As soon as I witnessed how he nodded and smiled, it gave me hope that's why I smiled too. "Whether I'll comeback or not, always remember I will search the universe until I can find you again."
"1982, today's year is 1982. We will be together until 2002, right?" I asked again while crying.
He nodded for assurance.
"Mom? I would love to see Nicolo and Olivia in the downtown." I got my senses back after spacing out in the kitchen when I heard the voice of my teenager daughter.
I shook my head when I remembered him again... I remembered him again... like everyday.
It was year 2002 today but I was still stuck in that memory with him that happened in 1982 .I thought of him as a beautiful memory that kept on haunting me.
Will there be another time for us to meet again? That was the question I always asked myself. I was hoping to meet him again... In other life.
