"Let us go, Li Jhie. I need to do something. Quick!"
Li Jhie and the servants looked and talked to each other and agreed that the other servant will pull the rickshaw. "You are now really impulsive Master, aren't you? In the past, you don't always bother us when you have something in your mind, and now, you do."
"People change, Li Jhie. In the past, I do not care what I have on my mind, as I won't say it. But now, I decided that I should change for the better. I should not bottle up my emotions, as it will bother me eventually, in the future."
"And it won't make sense if I will be meek, as I have someone clever and noisy with me. It is as if he hypnotizes me into doing something I should not do. And, being silent and meek about certain things will make my plans fail, and my time here is running out. I should do my best to make things right. I should make difference when I came back here. Being myself as I am in the past will make my tri

Chapter 31 The lotus root and pork soup are now cooked, but it was finished late. The flowers are also already wrapped neatly in the paper. "Let us now go to the girl." Master Qiu rose from his seat. He already finished his tea. Let us now go to the girl I love. "No, Master Qiu. We cannot go out at this wee hour of the morning. Sleep first, and we will re-heat the soup for the poor girl. I should have known that you had some pity for the girl." Li Jhie entered Master Qiu's room and readied neatly his bed. The bedroom looks decent, except that it has uncozy pillows to sleep on. "Hey, Master Qiu, this is your bedroom, right?"Tanashiri asked as they walked towards the room. There are pillows and a bed. The room looks grandiose, as expected of an only son of an elite family. Tanashiri seems sort of pleased at the aesthetics of the room, getting used to the bright colors everywhere, including

Chapter 32 There is someone. I cannot see his face this time. It is sort of blurred. You can see that he is a human, a guy, but his face is slightly unclear to the eye, like what is shown in PG-18 movies. She put her palms on her forehead. "I have a little fever." She felt a tinge of sticky liquid flowing from the inside of her nose. Some of it came flowed into her lips. She put her index finger on her lips. "Well, come on. I am bleeding, too?" The bleeding from her nose shows no signs of stopping. Maybe because I am still a little feverish, and still having some nosebleed. Why am I still alive after losing so much blood? He wears the usual Asian clothing, like the ones I commonly see in movies whenever I open and watch N*****x during my day-offs. It involves a long dress, overcoat, fedora, and scarf. He is bald, but there is some hair in the back of his head, braided and tied at the very end. It looks i

Chapter 33 "My dearest best friend in the whole wide universe, the most beautiful, talented, kind, and down-to-earth girlfriend, I have something to say to you." Lisha is fidgeting like she is anxious about something. Lisha is staring at nothingness. They are staying in the corporate cafeteria, where all the company employees spend their lunch and snack breaks. They all enjoy the decent meals and cozy seats for free, but a separate room is built only for the higher-ups to use. The CEO or president, vice-president, and stockholders have separate amenities from the ordinary employees. Sumptuous meals are specially arranged and organized by the company nutritionist to assure the health of the employees, and the company employees can enjoy the meals to their heart's content. They can also bring their meals from their homes. And in return, the company won't give some of the overtime pay the company employees deserve. This policy is made by both the Chief Executive

Chapter 34 "Are you okay? You look pale. Did your anemia come back? Are you staying late again, and not eating enough green leafy vegetables, just like you used to in the past?" Lisha is interrogating Hiraya, like she is from the police station, asking countless and repeating questions. "I think so. I always felt dizzy and sleepy since I spent my company leave. I don't get any proper sleep for many months now, as well." The waiter came back and served them service water. "Ma'ams, your orders will take eight-nine minutes to prepare. I am sorry for this, but please be understanding, we are a newly-opened shop. For now, this is your free service water. That is thoroughly distilled, so you do not have to worry about amoebiasis or what. Quench your thirst first with this." The waiter smiled shyly as he poured water into two glasses. "Thank you. We forgot to drink water after our lunch break. Some hideous creature appeared before us so we have to hu

Chapter 35 Lisha keeps blabbering useless and nonsensical things that Hiraya almost memorized her best friend's words. "I know you are heartbroken; I heard about the catfight you had in the washroom. I know from the very start that that girl, Ms. Kate, was up to no good. She has a higher salary than us, but it is us who makes most of the work. Why? Because she has the endless favors of the male executives. Maybe, she pays those old men with her body. Who knows where she goes after our afternoon shift? She goes out very early but does not finish anything concerning our work. She is like a prostitute. She dresses like one." Lisha started to get some portions of Hiraya's milk tea. It is indeed a miracle that Hiraya is not stopping Lisha from badmouthing other people. Usually, Lisha is often corrected and reprimanded by Hiraya due to her bad manners. But this time, Hiraya is not doing it and is staying silent, so Lisha continued talking, like an unstoppab
A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story Reminiscing
Chapter 36 My head is throbbing. Maybe because I am always sleeping too much in this foreign place. I wish all these hours of sleeping will sweep all my hurts away, but I cannot forget it all. I still hear the loving voice of my father and mother. The cheerful yells of my brothers and sisters are music to my ears, even if most of the time, I am irritated by their playfulness. I am hopeless. Why am I still living? I should have died with them back in that hell of a place. People are passing by me, ignoring me. I looked at myself, sitting in the cold cobblestones, observing people from all walks of life; but a certain group caught my attention: children and babies accompanied by their parents. Mothers held their babies in their arms tight to avoid them from falling, and toddlers held by their fathers to avoid them being lost. My family. They died an agonizing death. In an unimaginable way. I am alone now. Why would

Chapter 37 I wear shabby clothes. I smell awful. My eyelids are drooping. I want some sleep, but the ground is too cold. It is snowing. I used to love snow season, but now, I hate it. I am trembling, and all alone. Maybe I will die on this road. It is a good idea to die now. My parents, brothers, and sisters are already dead, after all. What is the use of living my life anyway, when you got no one by your side? My first day in this foreign place. I am eating boiled sweet potatoes, but it tastes bad. I think it is spoiled. I got it from a garbage site, scattered nearby. Who cares if I got poisoned by eating a single bite of boiled sweet potatoes? My family had it the hardest. Even God has forsaken me. I have prayed numerous times to Him, for Him to guide me and my family, every night since I was little. Even if I did it half-heartedly, at least, I prayed, I had done it, not like other people. My parents thought us how to pray. Pray for

Chapter 38 "Hiraya!" What the hell. "Hiraya!" Shut up. "Hiraya! Our break time is almost up! Wake up! Let's go!" I am familiar with that ear-shattering voice, but I still am not used to it. It irritates me to the core. That cheerful high-pitched voice that I always hear every day, whether be it in the office, or at home. Lisha's voice can be comparable to the birds' chirping-feels delightful to the senses but sometimes makes some people who had a bad day pissed off even more. Lisha is both for me: she makes me feel things more deeply, even if most of the words she is saying make not a single sense, or her emotions are pretty petty in general. She is a petty person but is genuine. I cannot find any faults in her. Well, I found some faults, but are not that fatal. She is like an open book, reading her persona is easy-pea

Tanashiri woke up with a throbbing headache, with my father and mother sleeping beside me. They are seated close to each other. They seemed to have reconciled. I am in the hospital again after fainting. I fainted after seeing that girl on the train. Tanashiri headed toward the bus stop, all by myself, and boarded the bus. Thankfully, the bus conductor helped him carry his things and put them in the designated area of the bus. He sat in the remaining empty seat on the bus. He cannot drive his car because he still cannot move normally his limbs after his deep coma. He left his mother and father, still dozing off near his hospital bed. They have a lot of talking to do, so I must leave them by themselves. I know they are exhausted from watching me all night, all year that I have been in a coma. I wonder how my Q-boy's doing. Tanashiri took some pills and fell asleep again. This time, he did not have any dreams. It is just a pitch-black type of sleep, but not a deep sleep though.

I felt a warm wind gushing to my face, and I woke up, smiling.Yes, I woke up, in an unfamiliar place.I tried to move my legs, but I cannot. I tried to lift my arms, but when I did, I saw that I am on an intravenous drip. These intravenous connections are burdensome, I have got so much work to do in the office. I turned my head to the left, and there is my best friend, Lisha. Thank God she was in my life. My person and her name mean goodness, reality, and joy), and this creature is sleeping. She may be sensed my sudden movements, and she was awoken by my grunts."Oh, you are already awake, I thought you are going to meet the Lord, I guess it is not yet your time," Lisha laughed.Hiraya tried to remove the pins and needles inserted in her arm and hands.

It is an early Monday morning, and there’s an aching sensation in my chest. Why is my life this way? It is been months and I dream of that man every time I fell asleep who looks like me. I should be scared because he looks like me, but I am not. Seeing him makes me feel at ease, and makes me want to talk to him some more. But when I try speaking to him in my dreams, I just wake up, not blurting even a single word to him. It is frustrating. It's been months since she, and Lisha left China without a word to their superiors. A handful of incident reports are made by the two to explain why they left the group.“Hiraya, wake up! Hearing my name is very disappointing. It is not like any other common Filipino name. Having that name makes me an easy target for bullies in school. My mother is a Filipino language teacher. She adores the Filipino language very much. My name means the product of a person’s faith, ideas, and goals. Sometimes I get thanks to her for naming me Hiraya, because I usu

I have all the material things, but I still feel that something is missing. It was like that until I met Jouri. God, you know that I love her, don’t you? But we met at the worst times. Why did it come to this? How?"Why does this feel nostalgic for me?"I want to say bitter words to you, but it will be of no use. Maybe because I acknowledged you too late. I met Jouri too late.

"Where is Jouri?"He woke up and searched around. They are in a big rundown hut, with the roofs decaying and snow running down from the ceiling.Jouri is not around. Everyone, men and women, young and old, are lining up to get some food from the soldiers.Scraps."Sir Qiu, get your ass moving around, time is fast ticking, we should get out of here fast," Tanashiri's voice is shaking inside his head.Tanashiri is scared out of his wits.He wants to leave, and knows the way, but does not want to leave his pal."Ano ba itong napuntahan ko, what an unlucky life," ani Tanishiri.Qiu gave him the chance to get out, but he did not heed his advice.Their own heads are in turmoil right now.He continued to walk with his feet and knees beaten up, and certainly, he knows the place.He looked left and right, and he calmed down a bit when he saw two people.

A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story Pure chaos in itself
The streets are in chaos. Everybody is shouting, the Japanese soldiers are searching every area, especially households and stores. Upon walking outside every area they searched, they are holding papers. Land titles. The vehicle is still full of people, disarray, when Jouri and Qiu looked at each other,unexpectedly. They seemed to read each other's minds. Qiu looked away, and searched for an opening. He saw that there is an empty seat at the back of the vehicle. A man had a heart attack minutes ago, and he was pushed out of the bus by one of the passengers. Qiu suddenly kicked his way out of the first row, and caught hold of Jouri's hand. 跳! Qiu and Jouri jumped from the vehicle. They tripped themselves all the way across the street. They are now safe. It is kinda silent in that area. Or they thought it was. They are now sitting on a cold brick, hiding themselves from the chaos. They are both breathing heavily, but Jouri's breathing is more frantic. And audible. Qiu put hi

A boom can be heard from a distance."Run! Run everyone! The protective walls and gates have fallen!"Everyone ran in different directions, except the four. Why did I jump in time? My time spent here is not enough! I want to change everything!Bombs continued to destroy the town meters away from them, and jets started covering the skies above them."Li Jhie, take Lady Jinging to a safer place!

I am not adopted. I am a real member of the family, my family that was left behind on Poland soil. All her life, Jouri thought she is just adopted because she does not look Jewish. Because of it, the neighborhood, and her schoolmates, mocked her, and her appearance. "Your grandmother is Chinese, and she tried her luck in Poland. There, she met your grandfather, who is a Jewish businessman. You look like Chinese, unlike your siblings, because your grandmother's genes are more dominant in you," the frail-looking rabbi told her. She ran out of the restaurant as fast as she could, far, far away into the alleys of the streets of Shanghai to hide her mixed feelings. She does not know if she feels happiness, sadness, or both, knowing that she is not somebody her parents saved from an unknown orphanage. Jouri is enjoying her reverie when she heard three deep, loud sounds that echoed in her ears. Joyous conversations began to fill the place. People are starting to crowd in her place, and
