It Started When It Ended Chapter LXXV: His Story (10)
I forgot that one whole thing. The thing where I have to really vanish and come back to my world – hopefully succeeding in my plans. At times, when I become overly attentive to her – it was just like the old times. If I wanted it to happen, I should set aside the Leira that I know. I have to know this Leira in front of me. I have to know her more – deeper than what I already know from the Leira of my world. Leira of my world did not fall in love with anyone else – except to me – in college. We were together by that time – in a forbidden love, hindered by her family. We did everything we could to save our relationship from being stopped by her family – especially her mom. They didn’t want her to have a boyfriend. I fulfilled the promise that I made to myself where I’ll court her and make her mine at the right time. But to her mom, it’s still wrong. Still not the right time. That’s what she is just saying because she kept telling me that I am not the right type of guy for her. So w

She scarred again her already scarred body. Damn. Her body was stuck in my mind and I hated it. I don’t want to fantasize about her nakedness. As much as possible, I avoided her so I won’t be awkward with her. I washed the dishes, trying to clean my mind. But it’s not enough. I went near the lake. I remembered the first time I officially courted Leira – my Leira, from where I came from. We got separated after leaving Ariel City for good. I did not forget about her and still check up on her whenever I can. We were secretly seeing each other so her family won’t bother us. Although I tried to talk with her parents before, they did not approve of me and we figured out that they would never do it. So I courted her in secret. Everything paid off when she said ‘yes' to me at her graduation. And just a month later, she went to me. She told me her bucket list. The things that she wanted to do before she died. Little did I know she was really planning on killing herself all this time. I

Leira is jealous of Selene. It’s the only rational reason I could think of. She’s being too grumpy and whenever Selene is around, her eyebrows are furrowed. I held her hand. I let her in the meantime. She’s too cute for ignoring me, makes me feel that she wanted me alone for herself. She left soon after she cooked the rice. Selene and I were grilling. “Ayos lang ba siya?” Selene asked me. I chuckled at Selene. “Leira is having a hard time admitting her true feelings to herself.” Selene was sitting next to me. “Ang mga bagay na ginagawa natin para sa pag-ibig, grabe ano? Kahit na sa ibang mundo at sabihin man ng ibang tao na hindi na sila ‘yung taong minahal natin, hindi tayo mapipigilan ng bagay na ‘yun.” I agreed to Selene’s words. It doesn’t matter. Dr. Carval clearly explained to us that there will be slight differences, in some other cases, there are major changes that are happening. In some other worlds, it’s an exact opposite. “But this world is the closest to the world we’re

Selene asked me to come with her. Her tears are falling down endlessly. She told me that she remembered something about her husband. He is in deep trouble and that is why she came here – to save him from that trouble. Before she went here, her husband died and she later on discovered the reason why. “Bakit ba kasi ako nagising na walang maalala? Tapos ikaw.” I told her that since the system is in its first phase and she is the very first one to try it, mistakes often happen. One of the side effects is that, when someone’s mind is not stable, it would cause trouble while traveling. Amnesia is one of its side effects. Or someone won’t ever know that he or she didn’t really come to this world. This is why I would want to take it slowly with Leira. I want her mind to be stable. I want her to forget about killing herself. Now she’s frustrated because she cannot remember that reason. She cannot even remember her husband’s face or name or anything that could possibly lead her to him. We c

I saw her making out with someone else. I think my blood boiled and I lost my sense to discern things. I came near her to see if it was really her. The Leira that I know, she doesn’t do things like this. She doesn’t kiss anyone else except me. She doesn’t go to bars because she is prohibited to do so and I do not let her do so. Just to her right is Selene who was dancing, she lost her thoughts and her hands were up in the air. She’s having a good time, partying while Leira is having fun with another guy. I saw the bartender put a pill on Selene’s drink and then give it to her. Selene accepted the drink without hesitation and drank it straight. Selene became even wilder, she almost removed her clothes on the dancefloor. I cannot bear it anymore so I punched the guy that Leira is making out with. I don’t care. All I can think of is I wanted to kill that guy here and now and no one would ever know it’s me because I can ask the owner of the bar to clean this mess for me. I punched t

Chris stopped talking. It’s almost midnight and we’re still outside, sitting on the set-up he made while I keenly listen to him. He told me almost everything. I cannot look at him the moment he said that it’s enough information for now and we have all the time we need to continue everything tomorrow. I agreed. Simply because I cannot put inside my mind all of the information that he said. I lost my thought from the moment that he told me how the hell he knew me. “Chris?” Still, I cannot look at him. “Hmm?” He just answered and continued cleaning up. I told him I would just want to rest here but he insisted that he would clean this up so we could use the mattress inside the cabin. “I’ll just sleep in the camper van, you can have the cabin all for yourself.” He didn’t say anything about what he just told me. He didn’t ask me if I did believe him or not. He is acting like he didn’t dropped a bomb right in front of me and then just left without looking back. Yet here I am, thinking abou

My world just turned upside down because of that kiss. I didn’t know it would change everything starting from the plans I have already made. She just instantly twisted my desire to something even more selfish. That kiss from the bar where I get to taste her lips once again. I stared at her. She’s mad at me because I tied her to the baluster. I don’t want her to get away from me so I have to do it. “What do you mean? Us being one? Are you really that crazy?” She kept accusing me that I have lost my mind. It’s the same as the people who don't believe that Dr. Carval and I would be able to make it. “Isn’t it beautiful? A world that exists almost the same as ours that my physical body couldn’t travel to but here I am?” She scoffed, “I have endured my mother’s beating but I cannot stand your craziness.” I did not mind her, she had to understand everything to get my point. I cannot blame her, the very idea of Theory of Alternate Universes leaves me in awe as well. “Can’t you stop for a

Chris has become a completely different person. He isn’t the same as before who would never hurt me. He used to console me when I felt weary. He used to be just there, sitting with me and admiring the silence between us. He used to be so nice and kind. But now. He won’t even let me go. He chained me. He spoke things to me and decided what would happen with my life. And I hate it. I hate that I cannot control this life of mine. I have no freedom to die with my own hands. “Why don’t we make a deal?” He said with an optimistic voice, “what deal?” His words used to be caring. He used to comfort me by calling my name a lot of times without saying anything further. Or maybe it’s all just pretend? Now I have admitted it. I have accepted that he became a part of my life. Hell, I even liked him so much to a point that I came with him. To my horror, he really is a man that is too good to be true. “Don’t get upset with me, please.” He tried to cup my face but I moved away. Damn these chai

This trip is getting more weird, exciting, and mysterious. Starting from when we reached the village at Cinderella and the time that we reached Auradon. It’s just that Chris and I kept tracing the mystery people who have the same names as us. Another thing is the pictures that we’re at the village in Cinderella. Those old photos that almost faded, they said that it is someone named Leira and Chris who traveled there along with volunteers who used to help them. Leira told them about the liters of light which they still use until now. There is one photo that caught my attention, the one who resembles Chris a lot which was named Chris too. The man is shirtless and he is holding an axe. According to them they were all shocked when they saw us. They thought that it was too impossible for us to retain our young features that well and there is no such thing as incantations and magic that could do that. “Chris? What do you think about all these coincidences? The names of those two travele

My plan after graduating is to look for a job while working at the cafe that Patricia and I started. It would be as simple as that. If given a chance, I would want to come to my mom’s medical missions in the remote areas of Disney Republic, to help her and the residents that we would encounter with the degree that I’ve finished. Probably propose efficient interior house designs and then coordinate with different engineers and architects, find a funder for the project, and implement it. Mom and Dad loved the idea. But it was a too generalized plan and I have to narrow it down. I have to blend in with the locals and make sure they would love the design that I would propose as it is still a reflection of their culture. But for now, I will be away for a month. “You okay?” Chris asked as he held my hand and gently squeezed it. “Yeah. A bit excited actually.” I told him. Today is the first day that we will travel. He asked for my parents permission even after graduation, that’s why they

The days passed by quickly. And just like how our lives move at a fast-pace, Chris has been hitting on me expeditiously. It’s seems like yesterday since he thought that I was going to kill myself at the pumpkin bridge but it was already three weeks ago. And that three weeks had been eventful. Of course I consulted my best friend by that time and I’ve got Chris’ note on my note app. I screamed so loud that night and muffled it all by hugging my pillow since I don’t want to wake up my parents. Patricia was screaming with me. She said that I should just wait a bit – like for an hour before responding to Chris, “so that you won’t be too obvious!” She reasoned out. And I followed her because she’s my best friend and she’s my great advisor when it comes to theses things But this one is really different. Surely I had crushes and the feelings got reciprocated but I don’t go any further than that. It’s like I am looking for something else and I am waiting for it to come, for it to be found on

Chris chuckled at me, he said that his mom loves old and odd names that’s why his name is Crisostomo and his sister is named Odessa. “It’s not that weird though. My name is just the backwards spelling of Ariel, since my mom and dad met there.” I explained with a smile. After I was born at Ariel my mom and dad decided to live here in Cinderella. I grew up here with my neighbor and best friend Patricia. I had the best life with my caring parents, understanding friends, and living my life to the fullest ever since. I didn’t know what I did to deserve this kind of life but I am grateful for the life I have now. I believe my parents made me become who I am right now and all these are the product of my everyday choices in life. Chris stopped walking when we got near Octavius Subdivision, “you’re living near here?” I nodded, “then we’re just one subdivision away! I just moved here recently.” He was surprised and even told me that he’s happy he chose that subdivision. My brows raised, “you’

I walked straight to my favorite eatery that resides at the end of the pumpkin bridge. Gosh! Tita Q must have been waiting for me. I had to go to Patricia to bring her the gifts from our family outing. And there I spend a little too much time at Patricia’s house. Patricia was so happy, contemplating how the hell am I able to go out on an outing when it is our final week and we would be graduating in less than a month from now. I went inside the eatery. Like usual, there were lots of people that were eating and everyone was enjoying their meals. Tita Q greeted me with a tight hug, “saan ka ba nanggaling na bata ka?” She held my hand and pulled me to a seat. “I prepared your take-outs na. Hindi ka ba kakain muna dito?” Tita Q is one of the best women I know, aside from Patricia and my mother. She has two kids which she raises alone but she’s great at doing that. She focuses on her children and hands-on with them even when she has to handle the eatery alone. When it is my free-time –

Leira is the kindest girl I have ever known. Although she says otherwise, I could see her heart that isn’t selfish. By the time we were at the village, I felt that it was the real her. She had become her true self. She teaches children, she lets me court her, she communicates with us, and shares her life. I was able to see her carefree self again and swear, everytime she let people in her life and connect with them – I feel more so happy. I haven’t felt this happy and proud just because of someone’s happiness. Then we had to leave and face the problem we left. I had a bad feeling because of the storm. I didn’t wanna leave the village and if possible that we could just stay there – we would. But I know Leira, as kind as she is – she wanted to face the mess that the other Chris had made. The storm intensified my bad feeling. More when we have to find Dr. Carval and Levy only to find Dr. Carval and his lab alone. She even did a great sacrifice of pushing me away to burn down the lab.

Seeing her in this situation has brought so much emotion to me. It was more than just a dream. She’s here. In the middle of darkness was her soul, standing in front of me. I don’t know what to say. My tongue got tied. As I let go of the hug, I didn’t know why she told me to just forget her. Unlike me, she doesn’t seem happy. She just stood in front of me. She wore the same dress on the day she died. Her body is glowing – emitting a blinding light – but I don’t care as long as I can see her. “Leira?” With a confused look, I asked her. I wanted to get near her again but she didn’t let me. Although her body appears like a soul, I was able to touch her. It feels like a dream to see her – the real her. “Let me go, Chris.” She’s pleading. Her voice had become that sweet voice that I could hear of everytime we would have an argument and she would use that mellifluous voice in order to deceive me and get whatever she wanted. I looked at her, wanting to talk with her. Like how she is,

Fvck him! I don’t need saving but he’s proving to me that I do – that I just cannot admit it to myself but everything about me screams for a six feet under help. “Are you listening?” He told me about his plan. My father contacted him a while ago. He’s now with Dr. Carval and Andrei. They were trying to see if the other Chris was gone. “Are you alright? Did he hurt you?” I shook my head as if he could see me. “Leira…” His voice is pleading for me to answer. “Yes.” From all the shouting and what I told my father, I felt like my throat was now dry and I couldn’t speak anymore. My father wanted to meet Chris so he could exchange my freedom for Dr. Carval. I said no to Chris. That Dr. Carval’s life is more important than mine. But he told me that life is equally important for all, I wanted to rebut and told him that our case is different. “Hush. Just listen to me. Everything will be alright. You’d be free – the freedom you wanted. And I would witness that.’’ I felt him smiling at me
