With his head resting on the rabbit’s stomach as if it were a pillow, Angelo slept soundly because of the exhaustion he felt throughout the trip.
When they arrived at the third bus stop, the bus conductor approached him to wake him up.
“Ma’am, we’re already here, in Haven.” The bus conductor said while at the same time he weakly shook Angelo.
“The heck, five more minutes, please. I’m not that yet excited to go to heaven. You can go there first.” He absently suggested- to the person who interferes with his precious sleep.
“But ma’am, you might not arrive at your intended destination if you won’t wake up now.” The bus conductor angrily barks at the girl while he shakes her shoulders more intensely.
“What the fudge, dude!” Angelo shouted, which startled the passengers. “My dream would have been beautiful. My sweetest Amanda and I would have kissed. Our lips were so close already. Dude, you better bring me back to my dream world.”
“But, Ma
“We’re already here at the Garden of Peace Resting Place, ma’am. What I mean is sir,” said the guard as he pointed to the signage posted. “Do you want me to accompany you inside?” “No, it’s alright. You don’t have to accompany me inside since I think I’ve already wasted too much of your time.” “I’m glad you know.” The guard said sarcastically to him. “What did you just say?” Angelo asked,“What’s wrong with the people I meet today. Why do most of them have bad manners?” “What I mean is, to be careful inside,” the guard was embarrassed because he lowered his voice, but he didn’t think that the woman would hear what he said. “Then, I’m leaving.” “Thank you, sir.” Angelo first thanked the guard, and then he said goodbye to the man. Angelo made his way to the Garden of Peace Resting Place alone, and when he entered, he looked around the place. He’s hoping to find his parents and siblings in this vast cemetery. In the distance,
As Angelo runs, he seems to feel someone following him. So he ran even faster because it was getting late. It might be even more dangerous for him if he stays in this place a bit longer. Angelo doesn’t know what might happen to him because he’s just new here, and he doesn’t know- the way. Also, if Angelo stays longer in this cemetery, he thinks that the dead will suddenly rise from their grave. Even though his body is dead, he doesn’t want to see spirits of his kind. He stopped running when he felt the cold air behind him again. He slowly looked back while praying that hopefully, he would not see a scary ghost. When he turned around, he was trembling and slowly opened his eyes, and the rabbit he had released earlier appeared to him. He sighed and approached the rabbit who followed him earlier, “You scared me. I thought I was going to have a heart attack because of you. I thought there was a ghost following me, but it’s just you.” Angelo picked up the
“Finally, we’re here.” Rain said as she tried to break the silence that enveloped the two of them. “That’s where my house is. The second house with brown paint.” Angelo’s eyes followed the direction Rain pointed. He saw the house that she was talking. He observes that there were also other structures in the area- that the girl mentioned, aside from her residence. “I would have liked to invite you to dinner at my house but, maybe someone is already looking for you since it’s almost dark.” Rain suddenly spoke as Angelo was busy looking toward’s the direction of; Rain’s house. “Thank you, but like as you said, it’s going to be night. Maybe next time.” Angelo politely rejects Rain because he had to go home before that ugly creature loses his temper. “All right, if you come here again. You know the flower shop and my house, you can visit whenever you want,” Rain replied kindly. “Then I’m going ahead of you. Till next time..” Rain happily said goodb
After removing the particles from his teeth, Angelo thought about going back to the bus terminal. Carrying the rabbit, he crosses the road speedily while avoiding the speeding cars. After Angelo’s do or death stunt with the speeding cars, he reached the bus terminal. “What’s the name of the bus I rode earlier?”Angelo just scratched his head because he could no longer remember the name of the bus he rode earlier to the bus terminal. He walked around the terminal, wanting to remember the bus he was supposed to take. “What’s the name of the place where Mark lives again,”Angelo regretted why he had forgotten something important. If ever he had known earlier that he’s going to be lost now. He would have stolen some expensive things from Mark’s house first so that somehow he could have something to pawn for his expenses. “It’s weird. Why do I always forget to remember the names of places.” After removing the particles from his teeth, Ang
Angelo followed the man to one of the offices inside the station. When they entered the office, the man suddenly shouted at her. “What the h*ll are you doing here?!” There was anger on the man’s face when he saw Aimie’s face in the place where he worked. “Ugly looking frog, why are you getting angry? You’re not that handsome, so please don’t crumble your face since you’re getting uglier.”Angelo was frustrated because of the behavior of the man in front of him. The actions of the man in front of him tell Angelo. He might have done something dissatisfactory towards the man, which is impossible since he is a morally abiding citizen. “Do you think I’ll feel sorry for you because you’re here in front of me with that pathetic face of yours?” The man got even angrier when he saw the expression on Aimie’s face, which seemed to beg him for help. “What do you mean, pathetic face? With this handsome face of mine. You’re going to tell me that my face is ugl
"Yur mi brader?" “Sh*t, why am I speaking weirdly?”Angelo couldn’t help but belittle himself for what he had just said. Aimie’s older brother, on the other hand, was tense because of what he heard. He didn’t think that just running away from home could cause Aimie’s way of speaking to become weird and distorted. “What’s your problem. Why are you speaking like that?” Aimie’s older brother raised an eyebrow as he asked Angelo. He thinks his younger sister’s screw seems to have come loose. “What’s your problem with my way of speaking, you frog?” Angelo couldn’t help but be angry because the other just disrespected his way of talking. “If you won’t be serious, then I’ve got no choice but to throw these shoes in your face.” Aimie’s brother saw that the person he was talking to was indeed serious. So he coughs twice before speaking again. “First of all, what are you doing here?” When he calm
“Enough!” Anton couldn’t control himself, and he roared at his younger sister. “Let’s get back to the topic. Who is that person named Mark? Angelo just shrugged at Anton’s question. Because of this, he earned a deadly glare from Anton, which caused Angelo to bury himself even more in his seat. “Mark Akkin Castro is his full name. As for how he and Aimie got married, that’s what I don’t know.” Angelo could do nothing but tell the truth to the ugly frog he was talking to right now. “The way you’re talking seems like there is another Aimie who got married to that Mark.” Angelo inwardly laughed at what Aimie’s brother said. What Anton said is true that- Aimie married that ugly Homosapien and not him. “If you only knew the truth, bro- that I’m not the real Aimie. Why is Aimie’s brother like this?”Angelo wants to cry because not only Aimie’s brother not only looks like a frog but also is an idiot. “How did you get amnesi
The silence that enveloped the two shattered when the policeman assigned to buy food arrived. “Here’s the food you ordered, chief.” The police handed Anton the bag containing food. Anton immediately thanked the policeman when he received the food. When both Angelo and the rabbit who's been hiding earlier, saw the plastic bag containing foods- the two swallowed hard at what they saw, and they almost attacked Anton to get the bag containing foods. “Give me.” Angelo couldn’t stand his hunger, so he asked Anton. Anton can’t help but smile at his sister’s behavior. “Why would I give the food to you?” Anton asked Aimie as he took from the bag the foods he had ordered. “Didn’t you buy those for me?” Angelo’s attention was on the foods in front of him, and when Anton took out the foods, he became even hungrier. The rabbit that is hiding from one of the cabinets in the office, on the other hand, could not stop himself from approaching the perso
It was a typical yet bustling day inside a particular supermarket; the reason for its overly busy day was all because the people were trying to benefit from the clearance sale held inside the establishment. While most people were having a fierce battle in buying the goods that had an enormous amount slashed from the original price, a single distinct person was trying to avoid the large crowds of people.That person is a woman who was distinctive among the crowds of people since she is the only woman wearing an overly large dress and sporting a swollen belly. As she lightly rubs her belly, the woman looks at the crowded people with envy before looking at her big stomach. The woman smiled when she felt a light kick in her stomach. She then turned her body in the crowd's opposite direction and tried to grab a box of cereals in the utmost section of the shelf.The woman tried to stand on her toes as she tried to reach the cereal, and when she could not get even a single bo
“I’m going to go back to my room,” Aimie tried to steady her breathing since she was flustered by Mark’s back hug. “You better leave now if you don’t want to stay on the road driving the whole night.” “I know you’re mad because of what I have told you during the party, and I don’t know what to do for your anger to vanish. Tell me what I should do for you to forgive me.” Angelo muttered as he leaned his face on the nook of Aimie’s neck. Aimie felt the breathing of Mark against her neck; goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body because of how close Mark was to her. For a moment, Aimie doesn’t know what to do with how things progress, it was just a few minutes ago when Mark was leisurely sitting on the couch with a haughty look on his face, but now he was trying to earn her forgiveness. This action of Mark made Aimie feel weird since, although she had grown used to Mark’s loving gestures, it was her first time to see him sincerely ask for forgiveness. Tho
Thinking about those things made Aimie unconsciously shed a tear. She felt that her life would be simple now than when she was still Angelo, but she didn’t expect to experience so much heartache in Aimie’s body.If she had the chance to see the original Aimie next time, she would be sure to ask for a reward from her since all that was given to her was grief when she had possessed the original Aimie’s body. She made a mental note to take all the money of the real Aimie, including her pocket money, to spend it lavishly for her around the world voyage after this whole ordeal is done.Her daydreaming came to a halt when Mark unexpectedly wiped the tears that accumulated from the corner of her eyes. Aimie winced and was about to back away from Mark when Mark had tightened her hold on her waist suddenly.“What do you think are you doing?” Aimie tried to create some distance away from Mark using all the force her body had, and as she did s
It was as if time had stopped between the adults that were inside the house. No one wanted to break the heavy atmosphere around them, as if they were all comfortable about their hefty feelings. But soon, the suffocating feeling vanished when a loud wail of the child that Aimie was holding was heard throughout the entire house of Rain.They simultaneously looked at the child in Aimie’s arms with a look that was a combination of curiousness, bewilderment, anxiousness, and peevishness. While the attention was still on the child, Aimie glanced at Angelus’s way; her gaze was full of pleading since she didn’t know what to do with the child in her arms.Before the child’s wail could escalate, Angelus had fortunately seen the look of help in Aimie’s eyes. Angelus quickly took his younger sister in Aimie’s arms and carried his younger sister with a bottle of milk in his other hand.“Do you perhaps have a spare room so that my you
The soft and white ball with a pair of chubby hands and feet hugged Angelus tightly, and because of the height difference between the soft as mochi child and Angelus, the lovely child could only hug Angelus’s leg.The child’s big pair of sparkling eyes, completed with plump reddish cheeks, would make anyone feel in love with the lovable child. Seeing the cute interaction between Angelus and the adorable child made Aimie feel jealous since she also wanted to pinch the child’s chubby cheeks.While Aimie was dying in enviousness, the child hugging the leg of Angelus suddenly looked at Aimie’s way, making Aimie flinch for a second before giving the child a friendly smile. Even if she wanted to hug the child but given her current situation, it seems Aimie couldn’t act friendly with the cute child since she is just a stranger.Unbeknownst to Aimie, she gave a facial expression, a; mixture of longing and sadness that the child couldn&rsquo
Standing in front of a familiar place, Aimie’s conviction of living the life of the original Aimie faltered slowly. The once place she never thought she would get to see again was now before her. Aimie wanted to curse out whoever was playing with her conviction. The resoluteness she had of not seeing the parents Angelo had grown up with fell down the drain the instant she was standing right in front of the house that had the memories of the family she had missed so much.As Aimie was standing right in front of the house, recollection of the past flashed through her.Every time Angelo returned home, this house would greet him, and though his parents rarely returned home because of work, it didn’t feel like the abode was empty. The lingering warmth didn’t make him think that this house made him lonely, but why does this house who would always bring him comfort now feel as though it had become melancholic.“Is it alright for me to be here?&r
Suddenly, the memories of the past had flashed through Aimie’s mind. From how friendship was formed between Angelo and Mark. Their unruly days as students and how they formed deep friendships were shattered because of a single misunderstanding. The mouth that opened instantly closed, and whatever harsh words she was about to say to Mark were stuck in her throat. No matter how much Aimie wanted to hate Mark like in the past but seeing the man she had cherished for long as a close confidant, Aimie could not totally despise the man in front of her.Tracing the man’s fine features in front of her made Aimie realize that she had totally fallen for Mark. No matter how she denies it, it can’t hide the fact that she could not hide her feelings. Though she had already realized that she had feelings for Mark when the original Aimie and her met, it wasn’t like this moment when she could not hide it completely.The attraction she had for the man was undenia
After Aimie had sent her resignation letter via the courier service, she made her way to the meeting place that Angelus had texted her earlier. As she went to the area, Aimie’s heart was widely beating since she could finally see her family after a few months. While the car was making its way to the place, Aimie contemplated how she would act towards her family. Whether she would be respectful or nonchalant, Aimie was confused. It has been a long time since she hadn’t seen her own family, the family whom she had grown up to, her original family- Angelo’s family, whom her original self had promised to protect. And one thing that Aimie is sure would be hard to do when she meets her parents is to control herself from not crying in front of her parents.The moment the car that Rain had lent to her had finally come to a stop. Aimie looked at the tall building that was as if reaching the sky because of its height. While looking out of the car, Aimie contemplated h
As soon as Aimie arrived at their meeting area, she could not tidy her swollen face since Rain was already standing a few meters away. Rain had a look that hinted she was curious why the face of Aimie had gotten to the point of being swollen red like she had been crying for a long time.“What happened to you?” just like what Aimie had expected, Rain inquired why she had gotten to the point of being unrecognizable.Aimie wanted to just drop the matter, so instead of truthfully answering that she happened to cross paths with Mark, Aimie came up with another plausible reason why her face was in so much mess.“It’s because of the movie that I watched while waiting for you to arrive,” Aimie deduced that using this reason was more effective than telling Rain that- she had tripped on the air and cried for hours.But it seems Rain didn’t believe Aimie’s story since she was looking at Aimie with scrutinizing eyes, but rega
