It Started When It Ended Chapter LXXX: Façade
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

Before we made it past Anna, Chris met his friend who made us stay at the cabin. We met her at the restaurant where Chris and I ate for breakfast. It’s Eunice. Chris had warned me. I cannot even talk right after he told me not to get both of us killed through the camper van. “Don’t even try to talk to Eunice and ask for help.” He warned me. I feel like it was long before I set my foot on the road and walked on the concrete. It was already nine am and there were not many people inside the Brunch Resto. It’s the name of the restaurant. “Hi!” Eunice greeted us with a smile, Chris had already ordered for us. There are bacon, eggs, fried rice, ham, croissant, waffles, and pancakes. Too many for the three of us. “How are you two?” She asked with a smile from ear to ear that has never faded ever since she came here, “the best cabin I’ve ever been into, right Leira?” Chris tapped my feet using his and looked at me with a wide smile saying I better agree or else my body would travel into a

I pushed Chris away from me. We’re not fine, I am just keeping up with him because I don’t want him to chain me again. I have to gain his trust so he won’t suspect all the things that I am doing. “Chris?” I stuttered, giving him a questioning look. “Shh,” he hushed me down and kissed my forehead. “What are you doing?” I am completely lost by what he did. “I’ll fight him and I will help you.” He said in a whisper that I almost did not hear. “What do you mean?” Then he just left me in the bathroom. He left me in complete awe. Confused. Lost. Bewildered. I touched my lips. We were on the train for half the day. Chris did not tell anything further about the thing that happened earlier. I sat on the chair and just admired the scenery outside, it’s windy since the windows were opened. It cleared my mind for a second but then I cannot help but to think about the bathroom scene with Chris. “I’ll fight him and I will help you.” I fell asleep and if it wasn’t for Chris, I might still

My family is not a fan of amusement parks. They only want to attend social gatherings, drink their damn champagne, talk about money and business all the time, go to expensive malls and buy expensive shit. Only Patricia had made me go to the amusement parks and made me try extreme rides. We had a chance only once and I never got to experience it to the fullest. I puked, on the ride and had all the things I’ve eaten be thrown at everyone on the Disk'o, it’s not a fun experience really. Such an embarrassing moment of my life. Flash news: the daughter of the Governor throwed up at the ride. Not a good headline but it became a headline – making my mother so mad at me. “Are you serious?” Chris looked at me with plain amusement in his eyes. I just remembered everything that I ate a while ago. I never learned my lesson and now we’re already on this ride. The operator instructed us to hold on tightly, which I did. This is not an extreme ride but I am certain this is something that could make

I have only realized how stupid it is. Masyado akong nadadala ng pagpapanggap na ‘to, I am letting my feelings out just because of this. What he said was effective – na kalimutan ko lahat, probably because I am tired of myself and he gave me something perceived as beautiful to look forward to. So here I am. Nagpapatangay sa agos, nagpapatangay sa kanya. Tapos babalik ulit sa dati kapag natauhan na. “What do you mean by that?” I acted as if I didn’t know what he meant. He laughed at me, “come on, you could confess to me when we ride on that,” he pointed his finger to the ferris wheel ride that has a seat for two, it is smaller than the usual ferris wheel. We sat down and he ensured that we could sit comfortably along with the metal that keeps us from falling. “Wait!” I exclaimed, umuga ‘yung upuan at sa tuwing kikilos ako, pakiramdam ko iikot din ng 360 degrees ‘yung inuupuan namin. I held his hand tightly – unconsciously. He gave me a reassuring smile, “it’s fine. Stay still.” Th

Darkness. What I could lastly recall is that I am at the marketing office at the downtown of Belle. Everywhere I look is darkness. Is this the consequence of taking so many girls all at the same time? Was it my fault that I was born as a beautiful human so there are pretty girls chasing after me as well? Have I gone blind? But no matter how loud I shouted, there was no response. I tried to walk but there is only one thing that I could interpret – darkness. I felt unconscious in my own body. Or is this death coming to me? It was like this for a very long time now. I don’t feel hungry, I don’t feel any urge to have sexual intercourse with someone, I don’t feel thirsty. Am I still alive? Maybe, I am at a hospital – in a coma? I cannot control my body, I was trying to see if I could check my hands and feel my skin but I cannot touch anything. It was when I realized that there was someone who was there with me but I do not know him. For a long time, it was like that. He took over my b

It Started When It Ended Epilogue
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
