(Ghost Love Story)

This is a story about my friend who has a very tragic

experience, her name is Joan (not her real name),

Joan is a very good friend of mine, she had a boyfriend

who's name is Leon (not his real name), Joan and Leon are

lovers for almost 3 years. Last month May 20, 2009

we had a conversation with Joan in the phone, she called me

up exactly 3am, because she had a very strange nightmare.

She told me that Leon is very pale in her dreams and his hair is scattered,

looks like he was from bed, and his eyes were red and bloody, it looks

like his crying with blood, begging for help and he's holding three roses.

Joan wants to help him but she can't reach his hand, his too far,

she tried to run towards him but she can't move her legs for it was

too heavy. Then a very loud echo came out into her ears and because

of that, she woke up and when she woke up, she found herself

crying and her bed was all scattered.

She started to think about Leon, because she is very 

worried about him so she called him but the line was busy,

she tried dialing the numbers again and again but still very

busy, when she looked at her side, she saw a very strange shadow,

a very black shadow, when she closed her eyes, to her surprise

the shadow was gone and there and then, she called me up

so, that's the time she told me everything, and her voice

was so weak.

And I told her, "Huwag kang mataranta, nandito naman ako eh,

pupuntahan natin si Leon sa bahay nila mamayang 8:00 am.

Huwag ka nang umiyak birthday mo pa naman ."

(Translation: "Don't panic, I am here, we will just go to Leon's

house at 8am, don't cry, it's your birthday!" )

I told her in a very worried voice, so there she started to

calm down, and when 8:00 am struck, we went to

Leon's house, but to our surprise, no Leon showed up,

instead her mother told us that he died of a murder, he

died because he was protecting Joan from the man as he was

walking along the street.

This man was Joan's stalker, but Joan had a boyfriend
so he planned to rape Joan on her birthday. Leon was walking
along the street towards the house of Joan to surprise her for her
birthday, but the incident happened when Joan dreamt of him
crying with blood at exactly midnight. The people found him lifeless,
still holding the three roses he bought just for Joan. Joan was
stunned and was shocked. She never stopped crying until
a very cold wind passed by and cold air passed by her cheeks
so gently, and a voice saying, "I'll always be here for you, HAPPY
BIRTHDAY MY DEAR!". The wind stopped and there we
never stopped praying for his soul, for my friend's birthday
became a very tragic death of his boyfriend.

But still her boyfriend's last breath was to protect her.
And that's the greatest gift a boyfriend can give.
