CHAPTER 8.1

A M E R I C A

Harry and I stared at each other because this old man came out of nowhere.

The old man had a light colored wooden cane in his right hand. He wore a pair of white beach trousers, white top with long sleeves and was barefoot. He had long gray hair which was passed his shoulders but unlike Harry’s, his hair was straight and magnificently silky. He was tall and had broad shoulders, his beard trimmed but were all gray like his hair and his eyes were immensely blue, like the ocean in the morning. He was smiling at us, looking happy to find us here while he had his hands clasped behind him. He didn’t look like a suspicious man but instead he had this calming and friendly smile.

“Excuse me, I have never seen you around here before, sir.” Harry tells him kindly.

The man smiles sweetly, “I have lived nearby that lighthouse for sixty-five years now, my boy.” He traveled his eyes to the lighthouse before looking back at us with his warm smile. “I usually don’t go wander

    CHAPTER 9HEAL AND BE AWAKENEDH A R R Y May the both of you heal from your pains and be awakened soon.I still can’t read through the lines because I didn’t understand what he meant when he told us to be awakened. Be awakened from what? From the reality? From our pain? From being a prisoner of our pasts? From a dream? It could be a metaphor or a hyperbole but what? It could mean something or a thousand things but I know there’s so much more than the superficial fact of those words but what is it?I have been thinking about it all night, repeating his words inside the back of my head again and again but ended up with one conclusion. Cortèz could possibly mean that we need to be awakened and face our problems instead of escaping and dodging from it. We should take the bullet and feel the pain so that we can move forward feeling healed without looking back and regretting things.I groan as I sit on this sand by myself while I push my hair back.I haven’t slept the entire night thinking

    CHAPTER 9.1“Come on, it will be fun.” I encouraged a reluctant America. “Aren’t you even curious why you dreamed about this entire place years ago and was able to draw it on paper?”“I am curious too and I have been thinking about that since last night.”“We can ask the deity.”She stares back at me, “I thought we weren’t going to enter the lighthouse?”I chuckle softly, “Let’s just go and see for ourselves what will happen to us.”She groans.“Let’s grab some breakfast first.” I say as I stand and dust off the sand from my back.America stands, “I don’t have a great feeling about this Harry.”“Aren’t you even curious how a deity could look? I mean she’s lived on this island thousands of years, I wonder if it’s true that she does not age.”“So you’re really planning to enter the lighthouse?”I smile at her. “Let’s just go and eat.”We left Pacific Beach before I returned the surfboard that I was not able to use. Merry and I grabbed something to eat and discussed about my plan to go t

    CHAPTER 9.2“I’m scared.” She says softly.I hugged her a little tighter, careful enough to squeeze her in too tight. “Why would you be scared? You’re not alone in this cave.”“I’m scared that we might not be able to find our way out of the forest.”I sigh inwardly and felt guiltier to even bring her here with me even though she didn’t want to in the first place. I should not have forced her if I knew it would end like this. “Don’t worry. We will.”The rain was still not stopping from pouring and it was already getting darker outside. We didn’t have food left to eat instead we only had these bottles of water. I know we’ll most definitely spend the night here since the rain does not look like it’s going to stop soon. America had finally fallen asleep on the cold ground of this dark cave and both of us had been dried up. The only light that we had was from her phone but we had absolutely nothing to cover ourselves.I was still shirtless and I was still shivering but not as much as I did

  • LUAHU   CHAPTER 10 CONFESSION

    CHAPTER 10CONFESSIONA M E R I C A Harry just asked me to date him exclusively and I was standing here with no words to answer him. I didn’t know if this was something I would want to happen after getting out from a four-year relationship. I vowed that this whole trip would be for self-healing and not to date a British surfer.“Harry, I—”“Please, you don’t have to answer now. Think about it first.” He cuts me off.Harry takes my hand to his, “We don’t have to hurry things between us, it’s not relationship I am asking from you but a chance to prove to you that I can treat you better than he can. It’s more of like a process of getting to know each other more because I really like you.”His confession is really straightforward and he didn’t even give me any chance to process the things he has told me. He came back all the way here just to ask me this and I really appreciated his effort in telling me personally compared to over the phone. At least he shows effort.Actions.“But you nev

    CHAPTER 10.1I groan in frustration because it still did not make any sense. “It does not make sense but it makes me feel scared. There was that old man who told me about the same thing too. He wished me and Harry to heal and to be awakened soon, what does that mean?” I added, sounded desperate for an answer.There was silence between us.“Please, you have to tell me.” I begged.“You have to know that not all things are as what you see, America.” She begins to walk away from me, leaving me stunned by the fact that she knows my real name.If you will be awakened and be revived, you’ll only remember little things but not all of it and Harry will not remember you.“Hey.” I pulled my head up and found Harry sitting next to me and realized that I have been thinking about what Faith told me earlier. I didn’t tell Harry about it yet because I didn’t know how to explain.“Are you alright?” He asks me.I nod, “Yeah. I’m… I’m fine.” I smiled at him.We were in this small bar having a few drinks

    CHAPTER 11SOULS“I know you're thinking deeply about something.”I look up and found Harry, scooting closer next to me as he joins me over the sand while his Zion, Neal, Olivia and Diana were all having night swimming in their beach house. As for Georgina-Rose, she's nowhere to be found, again.“You have been like this before we left the bar. What's wrong?” He asks.I shake my head, “It's... It's nothing.”“Come on, I know it's not nothing.” Harry insists while nudging me gently with his elbows. “Tell me what's bugging you, I'll help as much as I can.”I breathe heavily, “I just don't know how to say it because.... it sounded pretty unusual and puzzling to me when I first heard it.”“What is it about?”“Earlier, I headed out for a walk after you left my hotel in the morning. I went somewhere alone and ate ice cream in this stall. Then there's this woman named Faith who sat next to me and ordered for ice cream too.”“And?”I bite my lower lip as I try to organize my thoughts, “She...

I kept telling you last night to put back your bra but you threw it to the toilet bowl.”“No I fucking did not!”“Yes you fucking did, sweet cheeks.”I groan, “Oh geez. I was horrible last night.”“Pretty much, yeah.” He answers. “You're very much confident in stripping when you're drunk so it's pretty much not convenient for you to get drunk alone.”His words reminded me of Georgina-Rose and how she stripped naked in front of him.“It was somewhat enjoyable for me but of course I had to cover you up because I didn't want you to think I am a pig.” he tells me.“Well you were, last night.”“I was cleaning you up.” He responded.I groan inwardly and heavily.“You begged me that you wanted to wear my shirt even if I hand you new ones.” He adds.I sat here in silent and feeling my cheeks getting a little warmer with these things that he is telling me.“Also…” He chimes and I squirm inwa

She trips on her own foot and I was quick to catch her. She laughs and slaps my cheeks repetitively while she was still laughing and I wonder what the hell she was laughing at. “You are the one who is super-duper quadruple drunk because your face is..... spinning.” She tells me.I couldn't help but laugh, “I think you are drunker than me sweet cheeks.”She pulled both of her hands up and started pinching my cheeks. “Sweet cheeks.” She giggles.I smile at her, “Okay, enough having fun with my cheeks and let's get you to bed.”I carried her over my arms as I walk up the staircase while the others were still laughing and getting drunker on the shore. I walked to my bedroom and was about to lay her over my mattress until she decides to belch out all the contents inside her stomach and puked all over her romper.“Jesus

    EPILOGUEPOT OF GOLDI have always been fascinated of the beach.There are so many things to do to enjoy and relax and there are a lot of sexy girls wearing bikinis almost looking like it is close to nudity. Yet, I love it. I love it all. I love watching girls in swim wears and how they play beach volleyball. Although I loved the sexual stuff of it, I have always thought that there is something about the sea that just calms my soul and my mind to a whole different level.I never really told anyone about it but it always has that kind of effect to me. Although no one knows much about it, I didn't want to look too softy on the outside being all sentimental about a petty thing.Everyone I know has always seen me as strong and very masculine with the way I dress, talk and act. With all the physicality that I have, everyone assumed that I am a cold-hearted tough guy. People who don't know me well would say I am an aloof. Kids and other townspeople would rather say I am scary. I have had a

    CHAPTER 94 WELCOME HOMEM E R R Y Time: InfiniteWhere am I?Those were the first words I thought to myself.I looked around and found myself standing alone on the pristine beach. The water was gorgeously light blue and the horizon was insanely astounding. I paused and felt that I have said those same words somewhere before.Dejavu. It definitely seemed like it.Although I was lost, somewhere deep inside me felt like I was found. I felt surprisingly calm and warm as the sun was hitting my face. Sunlight always felt nice and even though most people don’t like to be under the sun for too long I think there’s something about it that’s calming at some point.Scorching was a word that would best describe the heat of the sun right now. I closed my eyes and felt the gentle and cool sea breeze passing through my hair and hitting against my skin. It was a bright sunny day but the wind felt chilly which provided a perfect balance. For a while, I stood there just feeling nature which was surro

It was definitely her and I could never be wrong. It was the same face when we were in LUAHU but her hair was shorter now yet everything about her was the same. It felt so surreal seeing her again.“Diana, is it really…” I trailed off and realized how frightened and shocked she was. I realized that I was getting a little too suspicious and too close knowing that she is a young woman and I am an old man approaching her pettily. I didn’t want to look like a predator.I chuckled humourlessly, “I’m sorry.”She smiles wearily, “I’m sorry too but I think you have the wrong person?”I felt disappointed.“My name isn’t Diana.” She adds.I smiled tightlipped. “Of course. I’m sorry if I approached you like this and pretty much giving you a fright.”She shakes her head and smiles at me, “No, it’s… It’s not really a big deal.

We all assumed that it was her pregnancy but the latter symptoms were already too late to figure it out that she was experiencing something so much more critical and dangerous.There were so many what ifs that I had after she died and so many regrets that I wished I did and didn’t do. There were so many things in my head and so much

I think your mom laughed at me when she saw me arriving the hospital because I looked stupid with what I wore as I was in a hurry.”I chuckle softly as I was remembering it. “Although I didn’t really notice how bad I wore until it was the morning. It was so funny, you should have seen it.”I placed her hand intertwined with mine against my lips, “That time, as I watched you sleep the entire night, I was able to write a short song. Do you want to hear it? I was never able to finish it though.”I rubbed the back of my forefinger against her cheek, “I’m sure you want to hear it. So give it a good listen, okay?” I speak to her.I cleared my throat as I tried my best to keep my shit together because I didn’t want to cry as I sing for her.“Sweetheart you look a little tired.

She looks lifeless, I thought to myself again and again and it pains me.My feet slowly drags me inside the room as my heart was getting heavier each time I get close towards where Merry was, My entire body was still completely shaken up with what I was witnessing what happening to her with questions fogging my head wondering what really happened to her.I can really feel my whole body quivering in fear, despair and weakness while my lips were trembling as I call out her name softly, “M-Merry…” My soft voice escapes my lips,“Sir, we request you to make way.” The medic instructed me.I shake my head vigorously because he cannot just leave

It was evident in his eyes that he was searching through the front row near the stage if America had arrived, but she hasn’t. She was still not around and it made him even much more worried.He was not liking it especially that he hasn’t talked to Jordan about any updates regarding Merry.“I tried calling Ginny earlier and she said there was an emergency.” Those words keeps invading his thoughts making him feel uneasy on stage.“You are a lovely aud

Like I said, I am grateful for you.”“So why do you feel useless?”“Because I always depend on you. I depend on you when I get out of bed, I depend on you when I need a shower, when I need to go somewhere, when I need to pee, when I need to clean myself as embarrassing as it has always been, when I change my clothes, every thing. Every single thing that I do that are basic things I need for myself on a daily basis, you’re doing them all for me.”“I don’t mind doing them.”“But I do.” I sobbed. “I do mind.”“I.. I’m sorry.” He says with a soft voice as we were now sitting on the bed while he tries to comfort me while wrapping his arms around me tight. “I’m sorry if I made you feel that way.
