Last Updated:
2021-07-13 23:08:34A few minutes later, after Marcus and Ayla arrived at the reception, dinner was served. As much as Ayla wanted to eat her favorite desserts, she can`t. Not with this amount of people around her. Bowei on the other hand, surprised her, she can`t believe her eyes. Bowei is eating slowly and with a little food on his plate. He really knows when to put his glutton self aside.
Habang kumakain sila at ang mga bisita, may kumakanta para aliwin sila. Maganda ang boses nang babaeng kumakanta at nararamdaman mo talaga na ang bawat liriko na lumalabas sa kaniyang bibig ay galing sa puso. Alam na alam niya kung paano kunin ang atensyon ng mga tao para makinig sa kanya.
Pagkatapos nilang kumain ay nagbigay ng speech si Penelope at Michael, ganoon din si Lucine at Gilbert para sa kanilang mga anak na si Aster at Aidan. Nagbigay din si Ayla, Marcus at iba pang malalapit na kaibigan ni Aidan at Aster.
Kahit gaano kasaya ang reception, hindi iyon maramdaman ni Ayla lahat.

Pagkalagay ni Ayla sa kaniyang kaliwang kamay sa lamesa, hinawakan at tiningnan ito agad ni Kamaria, pagkatapos ay sinugatan ang pinaka sentro ng palad at ginamit ang dugo para gumuhit ng isang sembolo sa palad lang din nito.“That`s strange.” Wika ni Kamaria habang nakapikit pero magkatagpo ang dalawang kilay nito.“Is something wrong?” Hindi mapigilang tanong ni Ayla.“Yeah, something is wrong. Do you know something about the red string of fate?” Nakapikit pa rin na tanong ni Kamaria kay Ayla.“I read something about that in a book before. It says that the red string of fate is what connects mates to each other. If the string is cut in half, it means that your mate had died or rejected you. That`s all I know.”Dinilat ni Kamaria ang kaniyang mga mata at tiningnan si Ayla.“What you said is correct. Indeed, the red string of fate is what connects mates to each other. From the momen

Ayla spent her entire day at Kamaria`s house. It wasn’t until she caught a glimpse of her watch, that she found out that it`s already late in the afternoon.Tsaka pa lamang pumasok sa isipan niya na hindi pala siya nakapag paalam sa kahit isa man lang na nasa kanilang tahanan. Knowing her mother, hindi na siya magtataka na mag request ito ng search and rescue operation, lalo pa at hindi pa nito alam na okay na siya.Napahawak na lamang si Ayla sa kaniyang ulo. Lagot na naman siya pag uwi niya.“Kamaria, I`m really sorry but I think I need to go home now. Umalis ako kaninang umaga na hindi nagpapa alam, baka ano na naman ang isipin ni Mom kapag gabi na at hindi pa ako nakaka uwi.”“Knowing how protective Penelope is, a search and rescue operation is possible.” Natawa silang pareho sa sinabi ni Kamaria. “You should go home now; the sun is almost setting. No matter how safe the area may seem, one must always exercise cauti

A week passed by so quickly. Pakiramdan ni Ayla, na parang kahapon lamang nung umalis siya sa kanilang tahanan ng walang paalam na labis na kinabahala ng kanyang pamilya. Ngayon, ito na naman siya, nakahanda nang umalis ng wala na namang nakaka alam.Hindi niya batid, kung ang sulat na hawak niya ngayon ay sapat na para hindi mag- alala ang kaniyang pamilya. Ang pag iwan ng sulat lamang ang alam niyang solusyon upang hindi siya pigilan ng kaniyang mga magulang, at para na rin hindi niya masabi kung ano man ang nagpapahirap sa loob niya ngayon.For the past week, she stayed home and never let her parents lose sight of her. She made sure that they can feel her presence and gave them all her undivided attention. During the day, she always reminds herself to not let her family feel that something is wrong with her, but at night, as the day her journey draws near, her heart is getting heavier and heavier.She knows, that after always being with them and just disappea

Pinagkasya lahat ni Ayla ang mga gamit na inihanda ni Kamaria sa kanyang dalang bag. Nang makitang nalagay na niya sa loob lahat, tumayo siya at isinuot na ang kanyang itim na balabal.“I`m ready, I should get…”Hindi natapos ni Ayla ang dapat niyang sabihin kay Kamaria nang bigla na lamang itong umalis bigla. Nagtatakang sinundan lamang ito ng tingin ni Ayla nang naglakad ito sa direksyon papunta sa gilid, kung saan nakalagay ang nakatagong pintuan ng workshop nito.Habang pinag-iisipan ni Ayla kung aalis na ba siya o hihintayin si Kamaria, bigla na lamang itong sumigaw galing sa workshop nito.“Don`t go yet! I still have something that I forgot to give you. Just give me a minute!”Dahil sa narinig, umupo na lamang ulit si Ayla at naghintay. Hindi naman nagtagal si Kamaria sa workshop nito pero nang maka akyat siya ulit sa sala, kung saan naka upo si Ayla, ay hindi siya lumapit dito bagkus ay pumunta ito sa kusina. N

Hindi muna masyadong lumapit si Ayla sa batang babae, bagkus ay sinuri muna niya ito at inisip kung ano ang maaari niyang gawin. Halos limang minuto na niya itong tinitingnan pero wala man lang itong ginawa kahit na isang maliit na galaw. Naka upo lamang ito sa gilid habang yakap-yakap ang sarili. Halatang takot na takot ito at galing sa pag kaka abuso. “Has she calmed down already? Should I go to her? Did she saw me fight the rogues? Is she afraid of wolves? What should I do? What if she freaks out if I go near her?” Habang nakapikit na kina kausap ni Ayla ang kaniyang sarili, bigla na lamang siyang may narinig na isang mahinang kalabog. Dahil sa gulat at pag aalala, tinitingnan agad ni Ayla ang batang babae at nakita na lamang niya ito na nakahiga na sa lupa at walang malay. Dahil hindi pa alam ni Ayla kung ano nga ba ang gagawin niya sa batang babae, nilapitan na lamang niya ito at kinarga pagkatapos ay naglakad pabalik kung saan nakata

Ayla hurriedly went to the little girl and put its head on her thighs. Habang naka upo siya sa kama, dahan-dahan niyang hinahaplos ang ulo nito para pakalmahin at kung maaari ay pabalikin sa pagtulog.Makalipas ang ilang minuto, nakatulog itong muli. Dahan dahang niya itong inayos muli sa pagkakahiga sa kama. Aalis na sana muna siya saglit para maligo, pero bigla na lamang nitong hinawakan ng mahigpit ang kamay niya habang paulit ulit na tinatawag ang Ina nito at umiiyak na naman.“You poor thing.” Walang nagawa si Ayla kundi ang maupo ulit sa kama at haplusin ang ulo nito. “You`ve been through so much at such a young age. What could I possibly do to help you? Bringing you along with me in my perilous journey is not even an option. Where should I leave you where you are safe?”Parang binibiyak ang puso ni Ayla habang tinitingnan ang batang babae na umiiyak sa kaniyang pagtulog. Kahit na naka pikit ang mga mata nito, ang mga luha ay patulo

“Aster?” Nagtatakang tiningnan ni Aidan si Aster nang bigla na lamang itong natulala at sinambit ang pangalan ng kapatid nito. “Is something wrong?”Para namang biglang nataohan si Aster sa biglaang pagtawag ni Aidan sa kaniya.“Ah…no. I just suddenly remembered Ayla. You`re stubbornness a while ago reminded me of her.” Habang kausap si Aidan, naglalakad na si Aster patungo sa kusina para kunin ang pagkain nila. “Come to think of it, I haven’t visited home for a week already. I hope Ayla didn’t make Mom and Dad worried again.” Napa buntong-hininga na lamang si Aster. “If she made up her mind to do something, no one can stop her. She always finds a way to make everything work on her favor. Sometimes, her ricklessness and just doing everything that comes up to her mind without further thinking worries me. I just hope her mate can keep up with her personality.”“You and your sister

“Are you hungry? May gusto ka bang kainin?” Samara, once again, did not spoke even a single word, instead, she just shook her head. But, as if her stomach is against her reply, it made a sound that if there were people staying nextdoor, they could hear it. “I should have just gave you food directly instead of asking. I should have known better.” She mentally slapped herself. “I`m sorry.” Tumayo si Ayla galing sa pagkaka upo sa kama at hinarap si Samara pagkatapos ay hinawakan ang mukha nito, “wait for me here, I`ll just go downstairs and get you some food. You must be famished. Madali lang ako.” Nang marinig ang sinabi ni Ayla, biglang yumakap ng mahigpit si Samara sa kaniya at ibinaling-baling ang ulo nito. Hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ni Ayla ang takot na bumakas sa mukha ni Samara at ang panginginig ng katawan nito. “It`ll be fine Samara. Walang mananakit sa iyo dito. Madali lang talaga ako.

Another day had passed by without any troubles in their way. It`s nighttime again, and unlike last night, they are not spending the night inside a cave; instead, Ayla decided to camp in the open, hoping to catch a sight of the Uriela again.After eating her dinner, Ayla climbed to the top of the nearest rock around her and sat down while facing the same mountain where she saw the Uriela. A couple of hours had passed, and she still waited patiently, but instead of the colorful and beautiful Uriela, the one that majestically showed itself with its brightest light was the big moon.“Bummer,” Ayla sighed, “I was hoping to see the Uriela again, but watching the moon where it feels like I can touch it if I just stretch my arm doesn’t seem so bad either. Well, just like what Aunt Aruna always says,” Ayla cleared her throat and imitated her Aunt`s gentle and calm voice, “when another door closes, a new one will surely open.”

“Are you calm now? Do you want me to take you upstairs?” Nag aalalang tanong ni Michael kay Penelope habang maingat niya itong inaalalayan sa kaniyang upuan.Hinawakan ni Penelope ang nanlalamig na kamay ni Michael at tiningnan ito sa mata, “I`m okay now.” Pagkatapos ay binigyan niya ito ng isang ngiti bilang patunay.Kahit hindi kumbinsido sa ngiti at sagot ni Penelope, hinalikan na lamang niya ito sa noo at mas hinigpitan ang paghawak sa kamay ng kaniyang asawa.“Please excuse me for my sudden outburst. Masyado lang talaga akong nag aalala kay Ayla.” Hinging paumanhin ni Penelope sa kaniyang mga bisita dahil sa kaniyang biglaang naging reaksyon pagkarinig sa pangalan ng kaniyang anak. “Anyway, Bowei, please tell me more about the letter that Ayla had sent you. I was not able to focus on what you had said. Forgive me.”“Ah! It`s okay Mrs. Dierkshiede, you don’t have to do that.” Mabilis na

“Samara,” Nakangiting bati ni Sister Marilyn pagkakita kay Samara na nakayukong pumasok sa opisina kasama ang isang madre. Nahihiya pa rin ito kapag may hindi kakilalang tao na nasa malapit lang niya.Dahil sa biglaang pagsasalita ni Sister Marilyn, lumingon si Bowei kung nasaan ang direksyon ng pintuan, at doon, nakita niya ang batang pinapasundo sa kaniya ni Ayla.The girl is small, and after looking at her closely, Bowei can see scars on some parts of her body. Her clothes can barely cover some of it. Judging by her unusual aloofness, slight shivering, and lack of eye contact, Bowei already knows the reason why Ayla wanted to take the girl on her wing. This little girl had it rough.Tumayo si Sister Marilyn at nilapitan si Samara pagkatapos ay hinawakan ito sa balikat at yumuko, “Samara, siya nga pala si Kuya Bowei, kaibigan ni Ate Ayla mo. Naalala mo ba yung sinabi ni Ate Ayla mo sa iyo?”Gaya ng dati, hindi pa rin masyad

Amaruq Pack House, Office of the Division Commanders>>>>> “Bowei…” “Pwedi bang wag ngayon! Ang dami ko na ngang ginagawa dumadagdag ka pa! Hindi pa ba sapat na halos ikamatay ko na ang mga trabaho dito?! Mabuti pa ang saging may puso…” “Gago!” Hindi na natapos ni Bowei ang pag momonolog niya nang batukan siya ni Cyrus, ang Delta Commander ng first division. “Gago ka rin po,” Sagot ni Bowei habang hawak ang parte ng ulo niya na binatukan ni Cyrus. “Ano bang problema mo? Kita nang may ginagawa yung tao eh,” Maktol pa niya. “Don’t disturb me, I`m busy.” Paggaya niya sa tunog nang pagsasalita ni Ayla kapag abala ito sa trabaho at ayaw magpa istorbo, sabay taboy kay Cyrus na hindi ito tinitingnan gamit ang kaniyang kaliwang kamay. “Kung hindi ka lang kasi isa`t kalahating bano, sinabi na ni Alpha Marcus nung nakaraan pa na dapat tapos na lahat yan bago matapos ang buwan. E anong petsa na? Puro ka kasi kalokohan, mas lum

“Ack! So this is the reason why my day ended well yesterday. I thought something was really strange. So this is what they call the `fuckening’.”Kasalukuyang nakikipaglaban si Ayla sa mga rogue na nakakita sa kaniya habang dumadaan siya sa loob ng gubat. There were five of these rogues who look like they were just surveying the area and accidentally caught sight of her.While still riding her horse, she uses her bow and arrow to kill her enemies who are pursuing her. She already killed three of them and the other two are still on her tail.Ayla focused her arrow on the rogue who is running close behind her and when she finally locked the area where she wants to hit it, she let go of the arrow and it hit the rogue on the head, killing it instantly on the spot. She also did the same thing with the last rogue. It takes a lot of concentration, paired with skills and precision to kill an enemy while riding a horse without holding the reins. Her hell

Bago siyang tuluyang umalis sa bayan ng Neoma, huminto muna si Ayla sa nadaanan niyang bilihan ng mga pagkain at bumili ng kaunting supply na kakailanganin niya. She even bought a small cauldron for cooking.After buying all the things that she deemed necessary, she finally exited the town and followed the road that will lead her to another. Her next stop is the town of Dolivo. It will take at least five to six days for her to get there, it will also depend on how much time she stays on the road.If the circumstances this time are on her side, she doesn’t have any plans to stay long at Dolivo, unlike what she did in Neoma.“Just great.” Zira sarcastically mumbled while Ayla, is currently busy making a fire inside a hidden cave that they found just a little further from the path that they are following. “When we left Neoma, there were no signs of any rain or strong wind and now, it`s raining cats and dogs outside! How can you be so unlucky

“Sometimes I just wish that time would move slower.”After waking up, it was the very first thought that came up on Ayla`s mind when she looked at the little girl sleeping peacefully beside her. She wished that time would move slower so she could look at Samara a little longer, but sadly not all wishes do come true.It`s still 5 o`clock in the morning when she woke up, after staring at Samara for a good amount of time, she decided to get up from the bed and took a shower.After taking a shower, she packed all her things and made sure that she didn’t leave anything behind. When she was done checking all her stuff, she then started arranging Samara`s things on the bag that they bought yesterday at the market.While she was taking Samara`s clothes on the cabinet, she cought a glimpse on the letter above the table together with her weapons. It was the letter that she wrote last night after Samara had fallen asleep. She didn’t want to w

“Samara, did you have fun yesterday?” Magiliw na tiningnan ni Ayla si Samara habang kumakain ito ng meryenda at siya naman ay umiinom ng tsaa. Tiningnan siya nito at tumango-tango. “Do you want to go out again?” Tanong niya ulit. Napangisi na lamang si Ayla nang tumayong bigla si Samara at mabilis na tinango ang ulo. “Are you not scared anymore?” “Ka-kasama ki-kita…hi-hi-hindi a-ako takot.” Utal-utal na sagot nito sa tanong ni Ayla. After hearing what Samara`s reply, Ayla felt like something tugged her heart. “A pure trust from a broken child can sometimes hurt a person more than a cut from a blade.” Hindi na naman mapigilang pumasok ni Zira sa pag-iisip ni Ayla nang marinig ang sinabi ni Samara. “Before she completely put her life in your hands, do what you must right now. It`s also for her own good.” “I know Zira. I know.” Sagot na lamang ni Ayla. Tumayo si Ayla at ngumiti kay Samara pagkatapos ay nila
