Aliyah’s life changed instantly when her family was massacred. She was the only one who survived and was living with her Tita Celia. Hindi alam ni Aliyah kung bakit pinatay ang kanyang pamilya, they just live happy and contented like what other families do. Kaya kahit anong pag-isip ni Aliyah ay wala siyang ideya kung bakit at sino ang pumatay sa kanyang pamilya. She suffered a lot, causing her to quit from school and find a job to help her Tita Celia. She changed her name into Lily because whenever some people say her name, the ghost from the past will haunt her down every night. People who know her name and identity instantly get killed. So to make sure everyone is safe, She changed her name and hide her true identity. She was living peacefully despite of her dark past, slowly moving on and starting to focus on the present, when suddenly a bunch of men wearing black suit came and was trying to get her. Will she be able to escape and hide away from these people? Or will she face the same fate like her family?

I wipe my sweats on my forehead and immediately stood up to check my neck on the mirror.“It’s just a dream. Just a dream,” utal ko sa aking sarili habang hinimas-himas ang aking leeg. I could feel my blood raging inside my body as I fight someone in my dream.Para iyong totoo. I noticed my wet eyes and saw how my tears flow down to my cheeks. I wipe it away and lay my body on my bed. I didn’t even notice that I was already crying. The dream was too much to bare. The scene was so vivid that I can’t sleep.I miss ‘Tita Celia. I miss how she sing a song for me at night so that I can sleep peacefully. I miss her scent, I miss her.I shivered as I started to cry again. Hanggang kalian ako ganito? Even in the smallest thing I saw that’s
“Urgh” I groaned as I roll on my side. Napamulat ako nang maramdaman ko ang malambot na kama.“Oh, gising ka na pala, good morning sayo, Lily,” Natatawang bati sa akin ni Ate.Bumangon ako at nag-unat, pagkatapos ay tinanong si Ate Sha. “Good morning din po, Ate. Paano po ako napunta sa kwarto mo?” Napangiwi ito at umiwas ng tingin sakin.Tumayo ako at inayos ang kanyang kama pagkatapos ay bumaling ulit sa kaniya, “Ate?” Tumingin ito sa akin ng may pag-aalinlangan at bumuntong hininga.“Binuhat ka ni Gulf kaninang madaling araw nang mawalan ka ng malay,” Tumayo ito mula sa pagkakaupo at hinawakan ang magkabila kong pisngi. “You need to tell me something, but we need to eat breakfast muna. It’s already eight in the morning at baka hinahanap ka na ni Tita Celia,” bigla itong sumeryoso kaya naman ay bigla akong kinabahan.Ngayon ko lang nakitang sumeryoso si Ate Sha sa loob
“It’s 2,300 for you, Ma’am,” Nakangiti kong saad sa customer.Gumanti ito ng ngiti sa akin at pagkatapos ay nagbayad. “Ano ka ba, Lily. I told you not to call me ‘Ma’am’, Ate nalang,” Napatawa ako sa kanya habang binigay sa kanya ang sukli.“Hindi bagay sayo ang ‘Ate’ no, teacher ka na kaya,” Tumawa naman ito at kinuha ang kanyang mga binili.“Ate nalang kasi, naiilang ako kapag nag ma-Ma’am ka sakin,” Tumawa ako habang napailing sa sinabi niya. Surely, she’s a sweet thing.“Okey po, Ate,” Pumalatak ito ng tawa at lumabas sa linya ng mga customer.“That’s good to hear,” She chuckled as she shifts her grocery bags to her right hand. “Ikaw, kalian mo balak bumalik sa pag-aaral?

“Whatever you hear, don’t scream,” i didn’t get a chance to speak up when my Mom hid me inside the broombox.I could hear their screams and cries while they were mercilessly massacred. I peek on the small hole while trying my best not to scream from sound of the gunshots. My tears flow down like a river when I saw my family lying on the floor lifeless. My Dad protectively embracing my Mom and my little brother while lying on the floor.“No!” I slowly screamed. One of the men look around when he heard my muffle scream. I immediately covered my mouth using my hands when it suddenly walks towards where I hide.“I think I hear someone,” the floor creek as his weight shifted to his footing. He cracked his gun while quietly made his way towards me.I closed my eyes firmly while covering my mouth with my own hands to suppress my scream. I prayed to Him, begging Him to cast away the bad guys. I silently cry as
