"Oh paano na Ma‘am mag iingat ho kayo sa biyahe. Kayo ‘rin po Sir." Aniya ng makababa na kami sa bundok.

"Salamat." Sagot ni Henry. Nilapitan ko si Kuya Louie at niyakap. Parang ama ko na ‘rin si Kuya Louie. Siya ang unang taong naging mabait saakin sa bundok na ito. Tinapik niya ang likod ko bago bumitaw.

"Mag iingat ho kayo dito ah." Sabi ko sakanilang dalawa. Tumango naman sila.

"Huwag kayo mag alala Ma‘am, kayang kaya na namin ang aming sarili. Saka malaki na ‘rin itong si Isla, ito na lang ang pamangkin kong tumutulong saakin. Ayoko naman gutumin at baka sa ibang bahay pumunta." Tumawa ito ng malakas kaya ang ibang nag titinda ay napapatingin saamin.

"Tiyo! Hindi naman ako ganon." Nakasimangot na aniya nito. I chuckled.

"Kung kailangan niyo ng tulong tawagan niyo lang po ako. Alam niyo na parang pamilya ko na ‘rin po kayo. And Kuya Louie, tigilan niyo na po ang pag tawag saakin ng Ma‘am." Kumamot ulo ito at parang nahihiya. Matagal ko ng binilin kay Kuya Louie na tawag

    Flashback (2008) "Carlos! naririnig mo ba ako huh?! Ilang araw na tayong ganito, ilang araw mo na ‘rin akong hindi kunakausap" Sigaw ni Alma sa asawa. Bumuntong hininga si Carlos. Kakauwi niya lang galing opisina at ito agad ang bungad sakaniya ng asawa. "Alma, huwag kang sumigaw, maririnig ng mga bata." Mahinahon ang boses ni Carlos at dinaluhan ang asawa na nag pupuyopos sa galit. Tinabig ni Alma ang kamay ni Carlos. "Kung ayaw mong marinig nila kausapin mo ako!" Sigaw ulit nito at napapikit si Carlos sa pag suntok ni Alma sakaniyang dibdib. "Puro ka na lang trabaho, wala ka ng oras saamin ni Liliana. Kada uwi mo puro na lang si Raelynn ang bukang bibig mo huh! Iisa lang ba ang tinuturing mong anak Carlos!" "Pinag usapan na natin ang bagay na iyon Alma." "P*****a!" "Alma!" Sigaw ni Carlos at nag pakawala ng malalim na buntong hininga. Napapikit si Carlos at kapagkuwan hinawakan nito ang pisngi ng asawa. Puno it ng pagmamahal at pag-aalala "Inumin mo muna ang gamot mo, saka

    A clear sky opened up for Raelynn when she woke up in the morning. She was outside on the veranda, overlooking the beautiful view outside. She wore her nighties, but she just covered them with a robe. Her soft and milky skin is glistening in the scorching sun. She looked up at the sky and eventually stopped when she saw a halo around the sun. She stared at it for a moment and smiled bitterly. As she closed her eyes, the scene of yesterday flashed back in her mind, a hurtful memory that she had buried in herself and carried until now. When I was a kid, I always wanted to see a rainbow, because my father used to say that a rainbow represents a good symbol in your life. It's a remembrance that something good will happen to you... but it's the opposite. I used to like it. I used to... But not until that one tragic night happened. It's raining cats and dogs outside. The fain sob of a child echoes the force of the rain. She had no companion inside but only herself. sitting on the bed

    Henry Son Alexander POV "Good day, Passengers. Your captain is speaking right now. Welcome aboard Air TC 86A, which is currently travelling at 33,000 feet at a speed of 400 miles per hour. It is 1:25 p.m. We anticipate arriving in Spain around fifteen minutes early thanks to favorable weather conditions and a favorable tailwind. With a high of 25 degrees expected this afternoon, the weather is bright and sunny in Spain..." People tend to say that once we fall in love, we're going to get into trouble. But I don't believe in love. I don't know if it's real. Maybe because it's not my vocabulary to believe nor to have a girl in my life. I enjoy traveling alone and meeting new people and seeing new places. I like having alone time by myself. If I'm having a girl, I want a girl who will be the first and last in my life, not the one that comes and suddenly leaves. It's exhausting. Mula sa sinasakyang cockpit ay maangas na bumaba doon si Henry. With his soft and innocent figure, yet r

    Sabi nila na lahat ng mga bagay na naranasan mo ay may mga dahilan na kaya mong sukatin. Sukatin sa tingin mo'y makakaya mo. Pero makakaya 'ba ng isang tao maging maayos sa mga bagay na napag daanan niya? Mga bagay na 'pati ang mundo ay hindi nakiayon sa takbo ng buhay niya at pilit siyang binabalik sa nakaraan. Nakakapagod, nakakalula, nakakainis , nakakaiyak. Wala ka ng magawa kasi nandito kana. Ang aking mga paa na gustong gustong kumawala sa kadina ng nakaraan pero wala akong magawa dahil nilolobog ng konsensya. "Ram, kumain ka muna bago umalis ah, baka mapagalitan na naman ako ni Lola sabihing hindi kita pinapakain." Anunsyo ni Jay ng makita siyang nag aayos ng kaniyang gamit sa sala. Binalingan niya ito at ngumiti. "Pasensya kana, Jay. Pakisabi na lang kay Lola na wala akong ganang kumain." Nilagay ni Raelynn ang mga gamit na babauin niya, pagkain, sanitizer, clothes, toiletry bag at kung ano ano pa. "At bakit naman? Binilan ka niya ng Longanisa para kainin mo. Bahala

    Sometimes it's better to imagine than to face reality. Your rules, your own world. You can manipulate it either way, but the sad thing is that imagination has a period of time. It cannot last any longer. Because every time people fall asleep to their dreams, they end up repeating the same routine in order to keep them happy. Whether happy or not, sad or angry, eventually all those feelings will fade. But the truth of the matter is, behind those scars is the proof of how strong you are as a person, and that's the proof that you're keeping yourself alive. And that's enough to tell yourself how brave you are to face those challenges alone, without anybody knowing it. Keep motivating yourself to move forward, because eventually, the road that you've been taking is the road that will take you to the right destination. Nagmumuni muni si Raelynn sa magandang tanawin ng biglang may nahagip ang mga mata niya. Her eyes widened in shock mula sa taong nakatayo at malayo sa pagitan ng kinat

    "Nice to meet you too..." Ilang oras pa ang nilaan nila bago ni Raelynn naisipan na bumalik sa tent. Kasama niya si Henry na nag lalakad sa tabi niya. For some reason, she finds peace in his presence. It's weird that her mind was so calm around him. "My father wants me to settle down; he wants me to marry someone that I don't even see my features with," he said, looking at me. "It's just so dumb, right? "He chuckled and shook his head. I pressed my lips together. Nalaman ko kay Henry na gusto siyang ipag kasundo ng tatay niya sa anak ng kaibigan nito. Nalugi daw kasi ang kompanya at gusto naman tumulong ng tatay niya dito. Pero hindi pumayag si Henry. It's really not that hard to understand why Henry doesn't want to settle down while his father wants him to get married to someone else. Mahirap naman talaga pumasok sa kasal lalo na kung hindi ka sigurado at hindi mo mahal ang taong papakasalan mo. Marriage is sacred. I think it's way better if his father understands the

    Inubos namin ang oras ng gabing iyon. Kung ano ano lang ang pinag kuwentuhan namin tungkol sa trabaho niya. Henry is quite talkative, minsan ko lang siya nakitang ngumiti sa mga kuwento niya. Ang seryoso niya kasi kapag nag k-kuwento siya. He never talked about his parents to me, which I respected. He only told me all about his work—how he became a pilot and became a successful CEO. "I was a working student before. I started working at my friend's mom's cafe. I'm working as a barista at that time. I make coffee every day. Dahil baguhan lang ang lugar na iyon dagsa ang mga tao doon. Naging puntahan 'din ng mga tao ang cafe noon. Her mom's coffee is another level, I must say. It's way different from the coffee that I tasted before. That's why it became talk of the town." "Dahil doon ay naging CEO ka?" Tanong ko. "No," Henry replied, making my curiosity eager to know more about it. "Tell me more." Tumango si Henry. "There is this one older man who often visits the cafe.

    Bumalik si Henry sa tent niya ng gabing iyon. Kung hindi pa tutunong ang alarm ng cellphone ko ay paniguradong aabot kami hanggang hating gabi. I enjoyed listening to his story last night. I enjoyed his company and his talkative sides. It's so cute seeing him so carefree. Dumating ang umaga ay nag simula na akong mag ligpit ng mga gamit ko. Sa kalagitnaan ng aking pag liligpit ay tumunong ang cellphone ko. "Hello, good morning. We are from the Sanctuary studio books. I would like to confirm if this is Ms. eM that we‘re talking to. " Lumabas ako sa tent, at sa aking pag labas ay ang malayong pigura ni Henry. Tinaas niya ang gamit niya at kumaway naman ako doon. "Hi, good morning, that's me." Sagot ko sa tawag habang nakatingin sa papalapit na si Henry. From the looks of him, he was looking directly at me. "We would like to announce to you that the Sanctuary Studio Books are offering you free signing books in our studio." Aniya. Bumilog ang bibig ko sa narinig at hin
