I really hoped for a fast recovery. When I say fast, I meant today, but it was impossible since this body regained consciousness only recently. I shouldn't force it to mend fast.

Do I have the right? Ako na nga lang itong nakikigamit ng katawan eh.

When I saw myself in the mirror, or more like when I saw Gaia's reflection, she was really pretty. I mean, pretty with the typical porcelain complexion, pointed nose, rosy cheeks and long eyelashes. She was goddamn sexy, too. May hinaharap at kitang kita ang kurba. The only thing that I found irritating about her was that apple cut. Like, really? Mukha siyang Dora. Kulang na lang violet na bag. Mabuti na lang at maputi siya.

Napatingin ako sa soon-to-be husband ni Gaia Venice. Well, they were both good-looking. Seems like a match made in heaven. I wonder how their love story started. Should I ask him? Nah, that would be definitely weird.

"Love, what's your name again?" I scratched my head when he lifted his gaze to me, his brows furrowed. Yung tingin niya sa akin, para bang ginagago ko siya. Well, I still don't know his name and it's really disgusting to call him love. Nauumay na ako!

"Are you serious?"

Tumawa ako ng pilit. "Love naman, hindi ka mabiro. Hehe. Alam mo namang palabiro ako." Maybe I should just take a peek on his ID when he falls asleep. Sheesh.

"Objection, love. We never liked jokes. You, especially. You were always serious about everything." I could only pout to him. I can't just blurt out that I'm a soul who possessed Gaia's body, can I?

He just sighed before going back to reading some papers. For a lawyer, he looked so young. Baka naman accelerated siya? O baka baby face lang talaga? Well, Gaia's beautiful but she looks mature. Ilang taon na kaya ang mga taong ito?

"Love, what exactly happened to me?" I finally had the courage to ask him. Napansin ko kasi na maraming galos ang katawan ko, at marami rin akong pasa. Ano kayang nangyari kay Gaia?

"I was about to ask you that, love." He shot back, still not looking at me. "You were a mess when my brother found you. What exactly happened to you?"

Nag-angat siya ng tingin sa akin kaya napayuko ako.

"I can't remember." I murmured.

"Your car was parked nearby. Try remembering why you were there."

I blinked twice. "Wala talaga akong maalala, love. I hope you understand." That I really don't know because I'm not the real Gaia.

"Okay." he replied with a small smile before pursing his lips. "Why don't you get some rest? You need to recover as soon as possible. Your patients are waiting for you."

I didn't want him to feel bad, so I nodded. Tumango na lang ako kahit hindi ko naintindihan yung huli niyang sinabi. Pasyente? Sinong mga pasyente? Ako kaya iyong pasyente.

"Sleep tight, love." I felt my cheeks burning up when he gently pulled up the blanket and kissed my lips. "I love you, Gaia."

And I'm sure that she loves him, too. It was impossible not to love a gentleman like him.

It was already past six when I woke up. I was alone in my room, and Gaia's fiancé was nowhere to be found. Saan naman kaya sumuot iyon?

"Love?" I called out loud.

Out of boredom, I decided to take a stroll outside. Gosh, this dextrose was such a hassle. Sa paglalakad ko, nagtaka ako dahil maraming ngumingiti at tumatango sa akin. Artista ba si Gaia? Bakit parang ang daming bumabati sa kanya?

I wanted to go somewhere quiet, so I tried my best to find a peaceful place. In the end, my feet brought me to the rooftop. I was amazed while gazing upon the starry skies. It was such a breathtaking view.

"Yes, she's awake. But she's acting really weird. I don't know what's up with her." I heard a familiar voice nearby. That's when I saw love standing near the railings, talking to someone over the phone.

Lumapit ako nang konti sa kanya.

"Para siyang wala sa sarili." Perhaps he's referring to me? "I don't know but it feels like she's not my Gaia. Or maybe I'm just thinking too much." naguguluhan niyang sabi.

Naawa naman ako sa kanya. He was genuinely worried about his fiancée. I felt sorry for him simply because I didn't like the feeling of being lied to. Should I tell him the truth?

Well, he has the right to know. He's engaged to Gaia Venice, and he should know by now that I'm not his love. The true love's in god-knows-where.

Ang tanong, maniniwala ba siya sa akin? I don't think so. Well, there's no harm in trying, right? I really can't go on like this. I can't pretend to be Gaia. Magmumukha lang akong ewan kapag pinilit kong magpanggap.

I waited for him to end the call.

"Hey," I greeted him, catching his attention. Agad naman siyang lumapit sa akin.

"Love, what are you doing here? You should've stayed in your room." he worriedly remarked.

I smiled. "I was looking for you."

Kumunot ang noo niya. "You should've just waited for me to come back. Hindi mo dapat pinapagod ang sarili mo."

Such a caring man.

Mas lalong hindi ko kayang magpanggap. Because I'm not really Gaia, and I don't deserve his kindness. I'm just a random soul that God summoned for a mission. I don't deserve this kind of treatment from him.

I took a deep breath. "I wanted to tell you something."

I couldn't take the intensity of his stare.

"What is it?" he asked in a baritone voice.

Napalunok ako sa tanong niya. Sobrang seryoso ng pagkakatitig niya sa akin at para akong kakapusin ng hininga. Those hazelnut eyes... It felt like they were consuming all of me.

"You see, I'm not... Gaia." I stammered.

His forehead creased. He stared at me in confusion like I grew another head.

Before I could stop myself, I started rambling. "My name is Stellar, and I died yesterday. I went to a place called Oblivion. I don't know how to explain it, but it's a scary place. You wouldn't want to know. Anyway, someone relayed a message to me, saying that God gave me a mission and I need to save someone. That is, while being Gaia Venice. To make it short, I'm not your love. How should I put it? I'm just a soul who possessed her body. Well, in a good way, because God sent me."

Okay, I'm pretty sure that I sounded mental.

He might think that I have a loose screw on my head.

My chest fluttered upon waiting for his reaction. He stared at me superficially, and it made me nervous even more. Not until he burst into laughter.

"Love, I didn't know that you had a flair for jokes." he told me, half smiling and laughing. "Let's do this more often, okay? We should laugh more. This is better than scowling."

I pursed my lips. "You don't believe me?"

"Love--"

"So you don't believe me?" He sighed, so I took it as a no. "Then I'll make you believe me. To see is to believe, love. Watch me."

His lips parted when I removed my dextrose. I've never tried it, but I hope this freaky wings would cooperate to me. I badly need them. I need proof for this asshole to believe me.

"Love, what are you up to?" He seemed alarmed.

Love, my ass. "I'll prove you that I'm not Gaia Venice. You think I'm insane for telling you the truth? Well, watch carefully and go crazy."

Before he could even stop me, I climbed on the railings. My chest pounded when I realized that we were on the rooftop of a ten-story building.

My fiancé panicked. "What the hell are you doing, Gaia?!"

I gave him a sweet smile. "Love, I told you... My name is Stellar."

And so, I did it.

I jumped. Take note, it was ten floors down. I heard him screaming but I paid no attention to him. Instead, I focused. I thought hardly of my wings materializing within my back.

And they did. They really did!

"Holy shit!" I shouted in excitement. I turned around and flew back to the rooftop. It was so refreshing to feel the wind rushing to my face. Naabutan ko siyang nakasalampak sa sahig, umiiyak at mukhang nagluluksa sa pagpapakamatay ko.

When he heard my footsteps, he immediately lifted his gaze to me.

And his reaction? Priceless.

"Told you, love." I winked to him, but he just stared at me, his eyes widened. I felt my wings slowly folding, and I could just laugh upon seeing him question his sanity when his love turned into a lovebird, literally.
