It Started When It Ended Chapter LXXXIX: The Other POV (3)
After the darkness, there is the hologram television which I believe – is my eyes, now someone who looks exactly like me is standing in front of me and talking to me. It’s like he is a mirror, a reflection of myself. “You knew all along that I was here?” He nodded. Well, I now know how people look at me everytime they see me. Too handsome even for my eyes. “You are me, and I am you? Is that something crazy that you would tell me? The last time I checked I am completely in my right mind and I don’t have any alter persona.” The Chris in front of me laughed. “You are different from me. We just look like each other, your humor is not that commendable.” I get it, he’s much more serious than I am. “Let’s get things straight. I told you I am not crazy but I may just go crazy because of you.” Chris – the other Chris shook his head in disbelief. “If you are different from me, then who are you? After you answer that, can you explain what is happening? Is this my body or yours?” I haven’t c

I hate people who cannot admit their real intentions. When I am with people I tell them what I wanted to do with them, I don’t do mysterious stuff. I tell them straight so I won’t lose my track and act exactly the way that I should. However this person who controls my body is more than an evil person who is trying to manipulate my thoughts and do things that may appear as something good when in reality, it’s not. He is more than a coward. He is trying to fight me, I could feel it now. I could feel myself disappearing and in any moment, I could grab my body back. But before I could do that, he was in front of me again, making the television hologram disappear. “I told you not to do anything!” He is mad at me, I can't move this time so I came near him. “What are you really planning huh?” I have a bad hunch about this and If he thinks that I would let him, there’s no way that I’ll do it. Not in my watch. Not in my own body and my own world. “Go back to where you came from and let

I never loved these things that are so complicated and that are even becoming more complicated because of the people who handle it. Chris must have made up his mind. I kept telling him to tell Leira everything and now I think he is trying to build up the courage to do it. “Yes man up! Or you will lose in two world, stupid asshole!” He doesn’t like that I am interfering but he cannot do anything about me unless he makes me vanish – which I think he cannot – and he lets me take over the body. The latter would be better but he wouldn’t really do that. He went to Leira with a strawberry ice cream – must be her favorite, as a peace offering to her. When Chris finally admitted that he likes her, she doesn’t care at all. She continuously licks the ice cream – which is actually very sexy, I’d say – and does not listen to him. I wanted to hit these two people. When Chris is ready to talk, Leira isn’t attentive to him. When Leira wants to know everything – this guy doesn’t have the courage

All the truths and half baked lies that Chris had told Leira made me flustered. He loves Leira, He loves her for himself. I walked and walked until I came near the light. I don’t know how long, I don’t know all the time I took so I could just get a glimpse of where the light is coming from. The time has stopped and the flow of things went into a slow motion – I could feel it. The longer I walked near the light, the more deafening the silence was. Yet, I cannot stop myself from walking. The light has become a magnet for me that keeps pulling me towards it. The sounds that I could hear from outside were gone too. I am too drawn with the light, even though I don’t know what it is really. I kept walking and walking, and my focus remained at the brightness and from where it was coming. I totally lose all the common sense that I have. I know I am walking and I am screaming for myself to stop, but I couldn’t bring myself to stop. Leira… I could see her in the distance – smiling at me. Th

I held the cage that Chris made. It was made of steel and surprisingly I can feel it. It was like a dome – a bird cage. Then he just vanished once again and left me here with the eyes and nothing more. I held my fist tightly. Damn him! I made my way out – it was longer than the first time. I even kissed Leira and let the words run out of my mouth – that I love her. Damn. I must really be out of my mind because of that thing that I just said. Yet, I couldn’t blame anyone for what happened. It was the peak of the moment, her face was so near to me and there was the urge inside me to just kiss her and feel her lips to mine. I could still hear them outside but my vision is not clear due to the steel. I can’t see clearly with my eyes being blocked. Damn that Chris! I know the trick now – I should walk and follow the light but how am I going to do that now if I am right here?! I sat down and tried to listen and see the world outside based on what Chris sees. Chris has his ways to

Chris didn’t answer me. He probably figured out that by now, our memories are finally syncing. I don’t know if that made me stronger or it did bother him because he won’t speak to me. At All. Ha! I don’t worry about the money at all, money isn’t a problem to me. He is. He is my huge problem. Leira is gone. After being mended by the nurses, Chris was met by the other girl who was really named Selene. “Hindi niya sinabi sa akin kung saan siya pupunta, kanina pa siya umalis.” Chris panicked but they were called by the nurses and asked for some information about the other girl. They had a long interview and talked about the other girl’s condition, they were also asked what happened and discussed the hospital policy. Chris and Selene were keenly listening while I cannot stop thinking about Leira. All of us don't know where she went. I have become a soul inside this body, it was less than I expected. I thought the soul wanders around and has an ability to penetrate concrete. I had wa

My strong feelings affect everything that is happening around here. It makes me stronger too. I can overcome Chris and take my body back due to emotions. Now the only problem is, how could I maintain it? Chris knows this. He basically knew this and he knew I would figure out this trick. Maybe I could cage him as well or just imagine him being gone into our lives and he would miraculously be gone. I would never know, until I try. This place – Ariel City – had caused her so much pain. Not just this place but the people who are living here, specifically her family. She blames herself for what happened to her mom, she thinks that she killed her. But that wasn’t the case. That is just what her father told her, he made her believe that it was entirely her fault. And now she doesn’t even trust herself, her decision, and she’s reluctant to everything yet impulsive. My girl. For the meantime that I am still figuring out how to control my emotions, I hope Chris would take care of h

One thing is for sure, Leira’s father knew something about the real identity of Chris. That he isn’t me. Chris and Leira’s father's conversation was just for them. Although Chris’ and my mind is in sync, those only that happened in between is what I could remember. Some were still vague and what Chris is thinking right now, doesn't go directly to what I think too. We still have separate memories. Leira’s father wants something from Chris. His grin never faded, his menacing smile towards Chris when he saw him with Leira was one thing that I could remember. Chris and him made a deal, “it is a deal then, be here by next week. At this exact place, I know you could go here without a hustle so I will be waiting.” Leira’s father said but Chris was eager and instantly asked for an extended date. He was holding Leira’s hand. Until new year’s eve. New year’s eve is just two weeks from now. Does that mean that I would be able to get back my freedom by that time? “Hey dude?! Is tha

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
