I ONCE WISHED TO BE HER
“I–I want to have new lifetime in Yuri’s body. I wish to have another lifetime, being Yuri.” I spoke those words infront of this witch. Sumilay ang hindi maipaliwanag na ngiti sa kaniyang labi.
“Why would I grant your wish? I am not your fairy godmother. I am just a wicked witch na ipinatapon sa labas ng inyong palasyo.” Nakagat ko ang aking ibabang labi habang nakatingin sa kaniya.
“I would give e–everything you want. Just help me, please?”
“Huh, a princess begging for a witch? Wow, just wow ganito pala kadesperada ang isang Prinsesa Ara.” Yumuko ako dahil sa kaniyang itinuran. She’s right, I am f-cking desperate para hilingin na sasusunod kong buhay ako si Yuri, si Yuri na mahal na mahal ng lalaking mahal ko.
“Nagmahal ka na ba? I am doing all of this ’cause I love Prince Nate, I love him.” I told her that made her stopped. Silence filled the whole room before she waved her wand at itinapat ito sa aking noo.
“I am not wicked as you think I am. I’ll grant your wish, princess. Don’t you ever blame me, kung ano man ang maging kalabasan nito.” I blinked when she said those words seriously.
“Now, say your wish and then cut your wrist.”
“G–Gusto ko sana sa susunod kong buhay ako si Yuri, ako si Yuri na mahal na mahal ng lalaking mahal ko.” I closed my eyes as I cutted my wrist.
“Hinihiling kong maging maligaya...

ka, Princess Ara—Yuri.”

Nanatili akong nakatingin at pinagmamasdan ang aking itsura sa refleksiyon ng salamin sa harap ko.
“Actor na si Ara at ang kaniyang nobyo na si Nate, ikinasal na.” I smiled bitterly when I heard that report coming from the television.
Two years ago, I was reincarnated in Yuri’s body. Nakuha ko ‘yong matagal ko ng hiling. I was loved by Nate, I was loved by the man of my dreams. I was so d-mn happy.
Pero lahat ng ‘yon panandalian lang, after a year in this body Nate broke up with me. He told me na mas mahal niya si Ara—which was the real me in the first place.
Ang sakit, sakit makita ‘yong taong mahal ko na masaya sa piling ng dating ako. I am so selfish to the point na pati pamilya ko nakalimutan ko dahil sa pagmamahal ko sa isang lalaki. Hiniling kong maging si Yuri, without thinking what would my parents feel.
Ngayon mas dumoble ‘yong sakit na nararamdaman ko kasi pati sila nakikita kong masaya sa piling ng bagong Ara. It fr-king hurts, na makita silang masaya at nakangiti na kahit kailangan hindi ko nakita no’ng ako pa si Ara.
If I only can see what future holds, I would never wanted to be here in the first place. Regret will always be at the end.
Destiny was so d-mn cruel to me, because of my willingness to be loved by him, I lost everything.
