Everyone watched the scene unveiled slowly in front of them. It was a scene where Sean Lawrence ran towards the unbothered Marion who was even casually picking his nose. Right before Sean was able to land his big punch on Marion's face, everything stopped. It felt awfully familiar like it was a scene she already once encountered in her life. She was right, though. Because right there and then, Eric cooly appeared once again in the scene. And just like before where she was a hostage of the burglars in the Sweeties Cafe, the time has seemed to stop in front of her, and she was the only one among the normal people inside who can move and talk like it was a normal thing in a frozen time.
"Miss Ella, you seem to be interested in being involved with life-threatening situations, huh?" pagtatanong ni Eric kay Ella. He has still the same looks and he was still wearing the same clothes he had always worn.
"Eric?! Y-you're here!

"Yes. Before Sean Lawrence could even land a cm of his fist on Marion's face, the latter was quick enough to pull his gun swiftly and shoot his head. You were right about the second part, though. Marion was a lunatic and he did what he was supposed to do as a crazy human being who was possessed. He killed all of you in seconds. He will shoot his two other friends that were alive first, and then your friend, Peter, and then, he will shoot you. No mercy was given. No second thoughts happened in the whole situation."Doon na lubos nanghina si Ella. Muntikan pa siyang mapaupo sa sahig ngunit nasalo siya ni Eric sa tamang oras."Ayos ka lang?" tanong ng lalaki rito. Nag-aalala niyang itinayo si Ella at marahan na hinawakan ang kaniyang mga braso upang gabayan ito sakaling hindi kayanin ng kaniyang mga paa ang pagtayo nang maayos.Ella was breathing heavily, almost panicking at what she heard. Parang mas malala pa ang pagpalpitate ng kaniyang puso ng

"Anyway, Ella, let's talk about what will happen after I continue again the flow of time. More than enough time has passed. I also need to do my duty as a grim reaper." Sinang-ayunan naman ito ni Ella at nakinig sa kaniya matapos. "To prevent the misfortunes and tragic deaths that will occur, I cut in the flow of time. Now, the main concern here is the avoidance of your death. In order to do that, the death of Sean Lawrence will be ceased. What will happen to Marion will be the same as what happened to the burglars before when you were locked in the cafe as a hostage. In that way, you won't be incapacitated. With regards to the guy who was already shot before I interrupted, he won't be saved. Sobrang limited na lang ng kaniyang oras at wala naman ako sa posisyon na pagalingin ang isang malapit nang mamatay na kaluluwa. Maililigtas niyo pa siya kung aabot kayo, ngunit hindi ko masisiguro ang kaniyang kaligtasan," mahabang paliwanag ni Eric kay Ella na siya

Natapos ni Ella ang kaniyang kuwento nang punong-puno ng luha ang kaniyang mukha. She was hurt. Deeply hurt that she wasn't capable enough to help someone, let alone Kyle whom she knew might have had bad experiences in his life already. She was disappointed in herself for forgetting the moments she had with him. But she was even more disappointed in herself that she didn't follow up anything in his life. Maybe, if she asked more if she talked more, maybe she could have learned more about him. Maybe, something would have changed and maybe, he could have been saved.Ella felt a hand touch her left shoulder for a second. It was Sean Lawrence with tears also running down on his face. He was pursing his lips as though he was trying to prevent sobs from coming out of his mouth. Both of them were crying by themselves but they both have the same intentions and realizations. The "what ifs" could have been true if only they did more of what they were supposed to do as people who

"Bukod doon, his family is here. Santaana pala ang pamilya nito. Galit na galit ang kaniyang mga magulang pati na rin ang kaniyang lola at lola. Sinisisi tayong mga nakasama ni Marion kung bakit daw namatay ang kanilang unico hijo. Tumakbo ako rito upang ibalita na kakausapin daw tayong lahat ng kanilang angkan mamaya at tayo pa ang iimbestigahan gayong ipinabatid ko na sa kanila na wala tayong kinalaman sa biglaang pagkamatay ni Marion."It was Sean Lawrence who stood up and reacted first. "Ano po?! Papaimbestigahan pa tayo?! Ni wala ngang kahit na anong sugat siyang natamo! Siya pa nga itong nanakit eh! Ung kaibigan ko, pinatay niya at ung isang kaibigan niya ay ngayon namang nag-aagaw buhay. Tapos sasabihin pa ng pamilya niya na tayo pa ang papa-imbestigahan at papalabasin na may sala?! What a load of bullcrap!"Nabahala si Ella sa kinikilos ni Sean Lawrence. Panay ang pagbilis ng paghinga nito at talagang nanlilisik ang kaniyang mga mata. He was really

"Pasensya na, Sean. Forgive my rudeness. My name is Raphaella Morales, you can also call me Ms. Ella. I used to be a teacher in Sentiniente High. I just recently resigned and now I am currently unemployed," maikling paliwanag ni Ella.A little background about Ella's tendency to forget things. Makakalimutin si Ella hindi lang sa mga bagay na kaniyang ginagamit sa pang-araw araw o kaya ay sa kaniyang mga nakaatas na gawain ngunit pati na rin kahit na sa simpleng pagpapakilala ng kaniyang sarili. Ever since she was a kid, this has already become a habit of hers. Napapatanong na lang ang kaniyang mga magulang kung bakit napakamakakalimutin ni Ella. Napakahirap pa noong bata siya at isang child actress. Halos kung saan-saan na lang nila hagilapin ang kaniyang mga nawala at naiwang gamit. When she was 5 years old, she would forget to wear slippers wherever she went. Her birthdays came and she turned 10 years old where she kept on forgetting her personal items. At 15 up until

Sean Lawrence gulped at what Ella asked her. He promised Kyle that he wouldn't tell anyone about his situation and he was afraid of what Mrs. Lumasan might accuse him of being a useless friend to her son, but he was determined to bring justice to Kyle. Even if he receives a 360 degree upend in life."Yes, Ms. Ella. I'll meet with you tomorrow."It was only then that human noises were heard outside of the room they were currently staying in. Loud voices boomed within the periphery of the area. Hurried footsteps were heard as well and it seemed to arrive at their room as the destination. It was only a matter of time before people barged inside the room. There were five of them who were leading the pack and the rest were men who were dressed in black suits as they were assigned to be the bodyguards of the Santaana Family. There was a doctor, an investigation officer, and three of Marion's family members who were wearing glamorous and extravagant clothes and ac

Sean Lawrence gritted through his teeth but couldn't do anything much. He knew for sure that what Marion's father said was true. The same goes for Peter. Kahit gaano pa kataas ang kaniyang posiyon, kung hawak-hawak naman ng pamilya Santaana ang kaniyang institusyon na pinagtatrabuhan ay wala ring ganap. Unless he contacted his family.If he contacted them, the situation will turn around at their favor and the Santaana family can even be erased. Ngunit matagal na siyang umalis sa kaniyang pamilya. Now, he was conflicted what to choose. The angry noises made by Sean Lawrence and Peter died down. The private investigator smiled at the two who were still glaring at him. Wala naman siyang takot dahil alam niya na nasa likod niya ay isa sa mga makapangyarihang pamilya sa bansa. He was offered safety, security, and tons of money by Freya Santaana, the grandmother of Marion, just to make sure there will be someone appointed to be responsible for Marion's death

The private investigator noticed the small commotion that happened because of Sean Lawrence's actions. He then reprimanded the college boy of the possible consequences that might happen if he stayed the same as who he was in front of the Santaana Family. "Young boy, Sean Lawrence, was it? Mind your manners, college boy. You wouldn't know when will it be your time. Malay mo, mamaya o makalawa ay hindi mo na masilayan pa ang araw. Just saying." The private investigator brought down the papers he was holding and held his gaze straight towards Sean Lawrence who was casually looking at him eye to eye. He didn't back down when the private investigator tried to scare him by giving him a death stare. Well, those weren't enough to make someone like Sean Lawrence bow down to someone. It would take a much more scary threat for him to act like a puppy the Santaana family wanted him to be. "Can you tell me then, what will happen, Sir?" matapang na sagot ni Sean Lawrence. Instead of the priva

Continuation.DEVYANI'S P.O.V.That very day, I laid out my plan as smoothly and concisely as possible inside my hidden house. The only creatures who would about it would be me, Orion, and perhaps Father since he knows all of the things happening in the world. I decided I would execute it at around 8 o'clock in the evening. Whether it will work or not, that will be entirely up to me and to the people around me. Seconds later, I heard a knock outside the door. I muttered a chant so the things that are lying on the table about the plan would be concealed. Matapos ay tumakbo ako papunta sa pinto. Alam ko naman na kung sino ang tanging gagawa noon. "Coming!"When I opened the doork, I saw Orion with a wide grin on his face. "Dinner?" tanong niya. Sa isang kamay ay hawak-hawak niya ang dalawang isda na tig-isang nakatusok sa dalawang pirasong kahoy. Naguluhan ako sa kaniyang sinabi. Tumingin ako sa labas saka siya tiningnan muli. "Ha? Hapunan na? Anong oras na ba? Hindi ba at parang ma

Kasalukuyan akong nakaupo sa pinakatuktok ng isang matarik na bundok. Napakatahimik ng paligid. Walang mga away ang nagaganap at ang lahat ng bagay ay naaayon sa panuntunan ng buhay na ginawa ni Ama. Napakaaliwalas at napakakalmadong tingnan ang mga nilalang na nilikha ni Ama sa planetang Earth. Ang mga tao, hayop, halaman, puno, mga hayop, ang tubig at ang lupa, hangin, ulap, apoy, at iba pa ay tamang-tama na nakapuwesto. Sa katotohanan ang lahat ng mga bagay na matatagpuan sa planetang Earth ay nagmula rin sa aming kaniyang mga anak. Pinagbasehan niya ang mga mahika at responsabilidad na naiatas sa amin. Ang kaibahan sa amin at pagdating sa mundo ng mga nilalang na kaniyang nilikha, may kakayahan kaming kontrolin ang mga bagay o ang mga mahika. Habang sa planetang Earth, walang may kakayahan kumontrol ng mga mahika. Ang tanging abilidad lang na ibinigay ni Ama sa kanila ay ang kakayahang mag-isip at magkaroon ng rasyonalidad. "Devyani? Nandito ka na naman ulit?" tanong ng isang lal

Fiction, non-fiction, YA, mystery, thriller, science fiction, anthologies, poems, literature, dictionary, thesaurus, textbooks, at marami pang iba ang matatagpuan sa silid-aklatan. Parang sa mundo ko lang dati. Ang kaibahan nga lang, mas maraming nakakatuwang impormasyon ang matatagpuan sa mundong 'to. Welp. Siguro, biased lang ako dahil mas magaganda ang pagkakagawa ng mga libro rito. Ang mga libro sa mundong 'to ay mayroong mga papel na makakapal at ang mga ito ay kulay light brown. Iyon bang parang pakupas na papel na sa mundo ko dati ngunit dito, hindi siya pakupas. Sadyang ganoon lang ang kulay at hindi nag-iiba. Bago man o luma ang mga libro ay parehas lang ang kalidad ng mga papel. Siguro mayroong taong gumagamit ng mahika upang mapanatili ang ganda ng papel.Bukod pa rito, maraming nakaguhit na larawan sa mga libro. Hindi kada-pahina ay mayroong mga nakaguhit na larawan ngunit ang mga ito ay sapat upang punan ang mga parte ng mga libro na nangangailangan ng visual representat

"Ano na naman iyang mga pinaggagawa ninyo?" inis na sabi ni Ina. Napamasahe siya sa kaniyang noo at umiling-iling pa. Mukhang kailangan na niya muna ng pahinga sa kambal. "Hindi ko na alam sa inyong mga bata kayo." Randam ko pa rin si Mael sa likod at ang pilit pag-alis ni Kael sa kaniya sa aking likod. Patuloy pa rin sila sa kanilang ginagawa kahit na nagsalita na si Ina. Hindi nakatiis si Ama at nagsalita na rin. "Mga bata, magsitigil na nga kayo. Si Meliliana pa talaga ang pinag-aawayan niyo at nasakto pa na tayo ay magkakasamang kumain sa hapag-kainan." Ngunit hindi siya pinakinggan ng aking mga kapatid. Patuloy ang dalawa sa pag-aaway. Parang mga isip-bata para sa mga prinsipeng katulad nila. Hindi ba dapat na kahit parte ka ng isang maharlikang pamilya, sa edad na mag-sasampu ay matured na? Ganoon ang napapanood ko sa mga pelikula at aking mga nababasa sa mga libro. Karamihan naman sa mga 'yon ay piksyonal tulad nito kaya bakit iba sila? Dahil naiinis na rin ako na hinihil

It's been five years since I came into this world, into the novel called "Meliliana". My life has never been this strange yet... warm.Noong una, mahirap isipin at tanggapin ang reyalidad na nasa harapan ko. Sino ba naman ang kaagad-agad maniniwala na totoo ang reincarnation? Hindi naman kasi kapani-paniwala talaga ang isekai o rebirth o kung ano pa man ang tawag dito. Sa mga nobela at pelikula lang naman ang mga iyon nangyayari--- iyon ang akala ko. Akala ko noong namatay ako buhat ng pagsagasa ng truck, makakasama ko nang muli ang mga pamilya ko. Iyon pala, hindi. Sa hindi ko malamang dahilan, at kung paano at anong nangyari, ay namuhay ako bilang ang bidang karakter ng nobelang Meliliana, kauna-unahang international best-selling book na mula sa Pilipinas ang awtor. Iba't ibang mga lahi ang tumangkilik dito, kaya ang libro ay nailathala sa iba't ibang bansa gamit ang iba't ibang lenguwahe. Ang kanilang mga dahilan ay kesyo maganda raw ang romance, kaaya-aya, nakakakilig, at kung anu

Bakit parang ang ingay ata sa labas? Taena, aga-aga nagsisisigaw na naman ang mga bata.“Oy, ano ‘yang ingay niyo? Kitang may natutulog.” Lumabas ako ng kuwarto at nakita sa sala ang aking dalawang nakababatang kapatid. Parehas tumitili na para bang chino-chop chop na baboy. Nakita ko ang magasin sa ibabaw ng lamesa. Pinulot ko ito at hinampas sa ulo ng dalawa.“Ano ba, ate?! Panira naman, oh,” daing ni Heaven, labing-dalawang taong gulang kong kapatid na babae. Sumimangot siya saka lumabi.“Oo nga, panira. Palibhasa bitter,” anas ni Nevaeh, kakambal na babae ni Heaven. Inikot niya pa ang kaniyang mga mata saka dumila. Lah, pikon talaga ‘to. “Bakit kasi ang ingay niyo? Wala pa nga atang walong oras tulog ko. May niluto bang pagkain si Mama?” “Sus. Baka nga siyam na oras na tulog mo. Umuwi ka rito kaninang alas-siyete, alas-kuwatro na ng hapon ngayon. Sa isang tanong mo, oo mayroong pagkain diyan. Piniritong talong at galunggong. Nagluto rin ako ng sinangag kasi ang galing-galing ng

Mara was on the guard about the man she was left with. She was still not yet convinced on whether to trust the person or not. She doesn't know a thing about him. The only information given to her by her friends were he was Ana's brother, he was the creepy guy at the convenience store, and he carried her back to her apartment when she felt ill. Aside from all of that, she still hasn't seen his face, and not even entirely sure about his identification.She felt the need to at least start the conversation as it didn't look like the man would do so. Mara walked up to the man who was still leaning on the wall."Uhm, hello, I'm Mara. Nice to meet you." She extended her right hand in an attempt to shake hands."Yeah, I know you. No need for formalities." Mara put her hand away because of what he said. The man took off his hat and mask. "I'm Seth. The Seth you know."When his bare face comes into view, Mara gasped. His perfect face was just too pretty in her eyes. There was not one bit of sca

There were instances in life where people find themselves in a strange situation. The most common reaction during those times was either shock, panic, or distress. But none of those words fit Seth's reaction after the stranger keeling on the floor in front of him addressed his name. While standing still, he remained impassive--- that's what his eyes tell."What?" was the only thing he muttered. Ana thought his voice was colder and deeper than before. Must have been through puberty."I'm asking you to heal my friend. This accident is partly your fault so pay your dues," she said, her voice was strong and confident. Tears were still evident on her face although she has stopped crying."And what are the boons?"She exasperatedly sighed. "You're fucked up. You weren't like this when you were younger. You're much better then. Now you're a straight-up asshole!"Ana can't help but snarl at him and openly say her feeling because of his nasty attitude. The man turned into a 180 - degree versio

It was past 5 o' clock in the afternoon when the three decided to go home. They had fun the whole day; binge-watched a horror movie, bought plenty of food online from various fast food stores, and made wholesome memories."Hey, It's kinda late. Y'all want to call it a day?" Zeke asked when he noticed the time on his golden watch."Okay!" Mara said while Ana nodded."Do you want us to drop you at your house or do you have to go somewhere first?" he asked."Hmmm, can you both walk me to my apartment? Since I think this will be the last day we'll see each other."Zeke threw one arm around Mara's shoulder. "Yep. On the last day we'll see each other for a while. Be a good girl for us, alright?" he teased and Mara laughed in return. She will surely miss his teasing for two years."I have always been a good girl. Expect me to maintain my reputation in Graceville High for the next two years. Since I'm that good, both of you should make me your role model."Her two friends laughed at what she
