2020-09-15 09:21:51Watching the splashing chocolate brown mud that comes off the shoes of Kervin as he glide from the tunnel, I can feel the tense of what might happen next.
Yes, we’re in a tunnel right now, the map indicated the next location, and to reach that we have to pass this damp and long abandoned tunnel. It was directly connected from the bar, so at the moment, we’re still underground, the thin air shrinks my lungs bit by bit. I don’t know how long will I manage to inhale the clammy oxygen.
Kervin was ahead of us followed by Rave.
Our steps shuffled in the narrow space. The light coming from my phone flickered and was eventually turned off in no time.
“Shoot! My battery died,” I sighed, reaching the shoulder of Rave, I took an uncertain step. However, the device in her hand died as well.
“Oh no!” she mumbled.
“Don’t worry. I have a candle and matches,” he stopped to reach the matchbox in his pocket. He struck one and lit the candle.

The stars were our witnesses tonight “ he whispered in his usual gentle voice.Opening up more of his little sweet promises.*****Vien’s POVI'm whining around the corner of my room's mini library, peach colored with little butterflies in the rear of the square, that was my favorite part, it brings out so much memoirs I never get tired of playing on my brain. I sat under my teal blue colored window. While lost in the edges, I suddenly heard a soft scratching sound near my head, I looked slowly and almost screamed out of terror the moment I saw a shadow.I leaped when th

Vien’s POVThe cloud is bursting out in tears again drenching every visible things in the field. I can sense the coldness by the shivering sound coming from the street dog that just passed by. I roamed my gaze in the park, children are in a haste to find shelter, a mother bird is singing a panicking song flying to and fro obviously looking for its little one. I let out a deep sigh, I’m leaning on a bench right now, I closed my eyes tightly, praying that someone will come and see me, join me watching the rain like before. Patiently waiting for someone to stare lovingly at me again.Patiently.I want to see a familiar silhouette in the rain so badly. Memories played at the back of my mind, tears started to stream on my rosy cheeks as I’m wishing that I can turn back the time.

I opened my eyes, unstable as I took in an unfamiliar view. Wandering my vision and thought. Curtains are half closed. A single chair facing the table. Neatly painted peach walls.The sun raised in majesty bringing in the surrounding's real color, it dyed the clouds a bright orange. Trees are quiet from rustling winds. The light penetrating from the dusty window kissed my pale skin. I woke up barely breathing in heavy air."Brylle!" I cried, I suddenly sat up on my bed. Wait it's not my bed.Where am I?Have I been here before?Is he here?Dazed and cold, I strode my fingers on the soft edges of the silk covering. I heard a loud resou

"Life is not a fairytale, if you lose your shoe at midnight, you're drunk!" A pack of students cracked out in laughter after that statement. They were chatting merrily when I threw a gaze on them, but they suddenly stopped the moment that they noticed me.Weird.It's almost 11:00 am when I reached the school. Stares were everywhere as I walked on the corridor along the rooms of first year students. I reopened Alyana's phone to check here schedule today and perhaps, slid away with everyone's eyes. Crap! How can I survive this day? I don't really plan to attend school. Like hello! I'm already 26, unfortunately I'm stuck in a 21 years old body *urgh* I already threw the idea of schooling away! Long long time ago.FlashbackNervousness and uncertainty wrapped around my whole body, but a familiar scent took me back to reality. I breathed in a familiar scent of fried egg, cooking spices and herbs. My door was gently opened by a little gir

“Hi, Ma’am. Too early in the club huh?”“Hey they lover, my boyfriend broke up with me too early as well, I need a bath of liquor until the next morning,” I hoped that sounded appropriate, and hardly wanting that it’s effective.“Really?! ... Hear the screams inside?”“Yes, I can hear it as clear as the fact that we’ll never ever come back together, sir” I replied while nodding.“That is the music of freedom synchronized and designed together to reiterate the beat of unsaid rants and pains,” he said and looked away as if remembering something agonizing. That gave me a chance to glance at Rave. Since the bar was located on an inside alley, some parts are shady, my sister had her chance to leap and make her way to the door. But, suddenly, the guard noticed that I’m looking somewhere which he followed with his elusive gaze. However, before he could totally do that, I jolted on my toes and grabbed his hand which automatically averted his gape, “I think you have a

“I thought you’d be the one to kill me, but a stinky man fired bullet in my head, ain’t satisfied, he broke my spinal column and twisted my skull in 360 degrees….”I wanted to disclose my eyes but it was shut for another ten seconds, the moment that I succeeded in forcing it to open, I immediately grabbed my phone and checked my inbox.Rave, who’s busy manipulating the car to traverse the wide road subtly threw a glance at me.“You fell asleep, Alyana. Tired internally?” she asked, calmness can be summarized from her voice.I just nodded in response while my eyes are latched on the screen. Successive messages of Stella were received last night.“Alyana, your such a bitch!”“Oh no, sorry, it’s not you?”“A MAN IN BLACK JACKET HAD BEEN FOLLOWING ME!”“HELP ME, PLEASE!”“I think I mislead him, he’s no longer following me”“I SAW HIM ON A HUGE TREE AHEAD, I GOTTA RUN, ALYANA!

While staring at the vacant spot to where that locker was originally located, I decided to sit at the rearmost chair situated just beside the window.The floor was white again.The marks are gone.And the seat of Stella was already replaced.This school pay for the utility workers is never wasted. Two hours ago, police officers suppressed the crowd, the school head, I mean my Dad, commanded and gathered us in the gymnasium while the investigation took place, when we returned, it seems like nothing happened.I wanted to believe that nothing happened, I desired to erase the picture of Stella inside my head but it was

Alyana’s POVOn the gray summer breeze hissing from the window, I lay comfortably in my bed, I’ve been awake two hours now but I did not take any gut to get up. Not until a knock decked on my door, cooed low.I walked sluggishly to open it. A little creature’s silhouette appeared, she’s wearing a bright green shirt with “NASA” emblazoned on it, it was a souvenir stuff from a special trip, I guess.As she regale me with her morning face and messy hair, she talked in her cracky voice, “Let’s take breakfast together, Alyana. It will be a festive view for dad if we do so,” she then looked om her Pikachu (Pokemon) designed wristwatch, “It’s quarter to five, your class is 7:00 today. I checked my notes,” she gave a smile before finally deciding to h

“Rave, aside from me and you, does anyone know about our current cases? I mean your SDAM and my hyperthymesia,” I asked her as I took another long sip on the coffee.Her eyes blinked fast whilst she licked her thumb before looking at me, “None, just the two of us”“How about Dad?”“Just the two of us, Alyana,” she repeated, she finally put down the neat chicken bone to her paper plate.“But why?” I just can’t discern the reason behind, seriously.“Because we decided not to tell them, to diminish the possibility that we might get used or we might be treated differently in a negative way,” she took the last gulp on her water tumbler.

“What time is it, Rave?” I asked while scattering the black plastic bags on her bed.“It’s past thirty minutes after 3 o’clock” she pressed the shutdown button then faced me.“Did you eat already?” I asked without looking at her, I’m almost done putting all of the plastics, it almost occupied the whole bed.“Not yet, you wanna eat?” when I turned my gaze to her, I saw the innocence and sweetness of the Rave I knew. I managed to make a nod in front of this crossed armed kid.“I’ll just call for a delivery, what do you like to eat?”“Just order the same food as yours” I dusted my shirt. Just got the chance to check on myself, it felt
