"Our place sounds so romantic. I like it," he said then kissed the back of my hand.
I kept on breathing deeply because my heart is pounding really fast. The place where we are at the moment is dark and only the moon and the stars giving us a little light. But still, I can see how handsome he is.
I cleared my throat. "It's getting colder, I think we should go. And I need to go home by now. Cristel's parents might be worried this time."
I think it is almost nine in the evening. In my time, it would be too early to come home. But this is 50's, it is very different in a good way.
We found Cristel and Alfredo sitting at that one bench in the middle of the park. When they saw us, they immediately stood up. Cristel greeted me with a guilty smile. I creased my forehead, guilty for what?
"It's time to go," I said the looked at

A month is not really a long time, before I knew it, Henry and the other soldiers are now free to go home. Cristel wants to fetch Alfredo, the soldier's parents agreed to it. While Sonia will go to get Henry. I am not really mad at that idea. It was okay, I guess..."So, this the training camp, it was just a few meters away," I said while waiting outside the camp."Yes, but this different. The other one where they got their years of training is in the other province. It far away from here, no one in the town can visit them," she explained. I nodded.One by one, the soldiers come out slowly. I saw Sonia on the other side holding a basket and I don't know what's in it. Maybe some food she made for Henry.Cristel ran fast when she saw Alfredo together with Henry. And when our eyes met, he smiled so widely. He all thought that I am the one who's going to fetch him. I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from laughing when he saw Sonia beside him with a wide smi

I stared at the ring on my ring finger while laying down on my bed. I can't help but smile as I remember our kiss last night. It was so magical and very romantic; I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from shouting."He gave you a ring? A diamond ring?! Are you even in a relationship? Or you are getting married?!" Cristel was hysterical.I rolled my eyes. "This is just a gift."This time, she rolled her eyes at me. "Who's the man who will give a ring to a lady as just a simple gift? Obviously, the handsome soldier wants to marry you. Be prepared, Aliyah." She laughed.I sighed and sat on the bed. "I can't marry him. We can't be together." Suddenly, I came back to reality.The playful smile on her face disappeared. "Why? Have you married already? Or you have any commitment to another man?"I shook my head. "No, it's not like that. I really like Henry; I want to be with him. If the circumstances were just normal, I could marry him right now. Bu

I feel uneasy the whole day, there's a part of me wanting to go to Henry and say my apologies, but the other part saying that it is alright at least I am telling the truth. I don't know in what way I will be back on my time again; I don't know when, and how. I feel like every day I need to say goodbye in case I will be gone suddenly. In my state right now, it is really hard for me to go. I don't want to leave Henry."What was just happened? We are doomed!" Cristel is panicking until now."I am going to fix it, don't worry. I just need to apologize to Sonia, and everything will be alright again." I nodded to her."I wish it will be that easy. You just humiliate Sonia in front of many people and now the whole town is thinking you are a whore, a slut, a flirt, a relationship-wrecker, and so on! We are in big trouble, Aliyah. I already told you that is not a good idea. Papa will be so mad at us." She was almost crying."I'm sorry, I will fix it, I promise." I

"I am not going to answer that yet," I said."Then, you must answer this question. Why are you at Sonia's house?" he asked again."I came there to apologize for what we have done." I pointed in the direction where the mansion is."We did? It was only your plan. I am willing to court you alone, but you still pushed me to her. I already told you that you are the one I like but you still made me court her. My conscience is eating me, Aliyah. I decided to tell her the truth once I came back from the training. I told her the truth, but here you are, still pushing me to her. What's wrong with you? Right now, you are acting like a jealous girlfriend. Later on, you will push me again as if I am just nothing to you. You are hurting me, I don't how can I understand you." He massaged his forehead.I heard Cristel cleared her throat. "Can we speak about your problem somewhere else? If you don't want to make a scene here," she said.I rolled my eyes at Henry th

"I'm so sorry about Sonia, I will talk to her. This must not be heard by her parents; it will be a big mess. Our families are not really friends with each other, so, it happened that the other family messed up the other family, it will make war." He caressed my face."I don't want that to happen, how can we prevent it?" I asked, this is getting serious."Don't worry, I will fix this. Do you want me to walk you through the Dela Fuentes' mansion?" he said.I shook my head. "No need, you should go home too. Take care of me." I kissed his cheek before leaving.I sighed, what I have done? This is not supposed to happen. This is not what I planned. What should I do? I am completely out of my agenda, but I can't stop myself from liking and loving Henry.This what grandma Sonia and Dr. Dizon were telling me before I came here. 'Don't fall in love with Henry' but I just did. I thought it will be easy, I thought I can just ignore Henry and focus on my agenda

Henry and I parted ways before we reached the market. I want to comfort him more, but he said he needs to go home before his parents arrive. If the only mobile phones existed in this time."Where did you go, Aliyah?" Cristel asked me when I came back."Like what I said, I just roamed around the market." I smiled."We thought you already went home. We've been waiting for you for almost half an hour," Alfredo said."But I am here, let's go." I walked first. Should I tell Cristel what I just discovered? Sure, why not? I trust her, I don't have to keep any secret from her. I should tell her...After Alfredo left, I pulled Cristel to her room. She creased her forehead, probably she knew already that I am going to tell her something controversial.I heard her sighed. "What is it, Aliyah? You look very scared." She is almost laughing."I have to tell you something." I lowered my voice, almost whispering. "Something about Henry's parents."

I looked at him. His face is straight, with no emotion at all. He came near me; I straighten my back."I heard you, Aliyah. Why are you always saying that? If you don't want me, say it in front of me, in my face. Do you want me to believe what Sonia saying against you?" He was so frustrated.I will feed him again with my lies, I don't want to, but I need to. This must stop, whatever is going on between us is very wrong."Believe to her, then. No one stopping you, in fact, that's what I wanted," I said.He looked confused now. "What? Aliyah, what are you talking about?"I looked him in his eyes. "I want you to hate me, I want you to be mad at me. I want to be bad in your eyes, I don't want you looking at me with love and kindness. I want you to look at me with hatred and disgust. Do you understand me, Henry? Hate me please, just hate me. Walk away from me from now on," I said then turned my back to him.I am the one who walked away from him,

On the next day, I planned to stay in the house and share a story more to Cristel about my life. She was very interested in it. I don't want to go outside; I can't face Henry now. I need him to realize that I am very serious about what I just told him. My problem now is, how I will return this ring he gave to me?"Through Alfredo. You give it to him, and he will return it to Henry," Cristel suggested."Right, but I don't want to go out. How can I give it to him?" I asked her."He will visit me later, after lunch."I nodded, good thing Cristel has Alfredo, or else I have no choice but to face Henry and return this ring. I am very sure that if we meet again, I will fall into his charm again and just break what I just told him last night. His kisses will drown me again and I will forget what I need to do."Aliyah, are you alright? Why your face is so red? Are you having a fever?" Cristel touched my forehead.I dodged. "No, I am alright."

It's been weeks since I met Dr. Dizon and he is kind of persistent. He never insists on courting me, but it looks like he is just doing it on his own."Let's see your wound if it fully healed outside," he said then carefully opened the buttons of my blouse."This is so awkward; do you have to do this?" I asked him, my wound was in the middle of my two breasts."If you think that I am taking advantage of you then you should stop thinking like that. I am a professional doctor; I won't do anything that ruins my reputation. Now, look at me," he said.I slowly lifted my head to meet his eyes. He smiled then kissed my forehead. He always does that; I am used to it."Do you trust me like the first time you willingly gave your life into my hands?" he asked seriously.I bit my lower lip then nodded. "I trust you; I can still feel a little pain, but it is bearable now. Thank you for your continuous care."He made me lay down on my bed. I don't

"This is your last day in the hospital, so I decided to visit you," she said then smiled at me."Last day? It means I am going home?" My body became alive."Yes, don't change the topic, Aliyah! Your parents said, even your grandmother, that Dr. Dizon is so fond of you. Tell me, what's with you?" Her eyes narrowed.I shook my head. "Nothing, we are just sharing common interests and then we became friends. What's so wrong about that?"She pouted to prevent herself from smiling widely. "Nothing, I just thought you are already getting yourself a boyfriend. I was about to congratulate you."I rolled my eyes. "Why you are all pushing me to have a boyfriend?""You are getting older, Aliyah! Wake up! You are not forever young, you can't be single forever," she exclaimed.Does Henry count? I had a relationship with him although it didn't last."Don't pressure, I will be in that state." I smiled at her. "By the way, thank you for visitin

I almost spit out what I am drinking when Dr. Dizon entered the room. His eyes narrowed on the soda can I am holding right now."What is it? Didn't you know how to knock?" I rolled my eyes at him."You still not allowed to drink something like that. Who told you to do that?" He went near me then grabbed the can in my hand."What are you doing, Dr. Dizon? You are crossing some lines," I said."It is not good for you. You are only allowed to drink warm water and some tea on the first week after your operation. You are really a stubborn woman, aren't you?" He put the soda in the trash can.My jaw dropped. "Why are you doing this? Stop bugging anymore!"I was about to turn my back at him, but he pulled my arms near him. I pushed him but I can't use my full force because of my wound."What are you doing? I am very sure that this not a part of your job as a doctor," I said then pushed him more."Aliyah, let's talk. My curiosity will

"What do you want to know?" I raised my eyebrow at him."Everything," he answered then narrowed his eyes on me.I survived again; death is after me, but this man did everything to save me because he wants to know everything that I know."Why? There's no use in knowing everything. You already have the Aliyah that your grandpa was talking about." I smirked."You know that I got the wrong Aliyah. Is it you? The Aliyah that my grandpa cherished the most?" he asked again."What made you say that?" It's my time to ask him."Aliyah Arandia, tell me everything." He was almost pleading."Why should I tell? What can I get if I tell everything that I know?" I looked at him.He sighed. "I made a promise to my grandpa that if I find that Aliyah, I should give her the letter he wrote and the ring that once belong to his true love."My eyes widened. "The ring... Where is it? I want to have it." I held his hands."Tell me everyth

Why my name is so common? I am that Aliyah who your grandpa is talking about! I want to say that, but I don't want to ruin his relationship with that Aliyah."Can I go out, Papa? I am so bored here." I yawned."Just in the garden, you are still not allowed to move around," he said. I nodded.They forgot about everything before I got into an accident. Even Dr. Dizon didn't remember what happened after the night I met him in the bar."Can you walk, or do I have to get a wheelchair?" my father asked."I will walk, Papa, before I forgot the purpose of my feet," I answered."Alright." My father helped me with my dextrose. He gave me a face mask to wear. Even this hospital is not accommodating patients affected with the virus but still, prevention is better than cure."I will leave you here for some moment. I need to make some calls." My father smiled then left me on the bench in the field of the hospital.I caressed my chest part wh

I spend my time thinking of what event could I possibly change in the future? What did I do to make things like this? I still can't believe by now that my grandma is still alive, and grandpa is dead."Your grandma wants to visit you; she is very excited to see you. You just ignore her when you arrive last day. Be easy on your grandma, I know she was very strict on you when you are a child, but she truly loves you," my mother said then said.What?In the first place, I never met her at this time. I just met her when I was transported back in time. Now, my mother is saying that I hate her?"Can she visit me, though? I want to see her too. I want to say sorry to her for ignoring her," I said then looked at her."Don't worry, if the doctor gives us a go signal to release you then you can see her. She can't go out because she is vulnerable to the virus." She handed me a glass of water.Yeah, right! There is a pandemic, I got used to the environme

I woke up in an unfamiliar room, but I am very sure that I am not in the year 1950 anymore. I am back, my heart is breaking. I removed the nasal cannula and tried to get up. I examined my body. I have bruised all over. My chest part is covered by a bandage, my head, and I have a minor fracture at my right foot. I am in an exclusive hospital room.The door opened and my mother entered. Her eyes are swollen, and she has dark circles. She was shocked when her eyes drifted in my direction."Aliyah!" She was very thrilled, and she started crying. "I'll call the doctor. Thank God, you are awake already." She hugged me."Mama!" I started crying too. I don't know why."It's okay, you are okay now." She caressed my back.I left Henry, I will never see him again, that is the reason why my heart is breaking. I supposed to feel at home right now, but why I am feeling lost?"W-What happened to me, Mama?" I asked, still in tears."You don't remembe

"Drink this." Crystal handed me a cup of green tea. "It will make you feel better, at least."I drank the tea. Henry advised us to stay in the mansion of Alfredo because this is the day when the attack will happen. And I feel like this is going to be my last day here, the pain in my chest is nonstop now. It hurts inside and out. I can't even touch it.Henry promised that she will marry Sonia this day. He will do that to end my suffering in this time and save my life in my time."C-Cristel," I called her attention, she is currently knitting some clothes for her baby."Do you need something?" She looked at me."What are you planning to do with Sonia? You said that you will make her suffer, in want way?" I asked her.She sighed. "I'm just thinking that I should make her suffer when she married Henry. I will tell him the truth you are my granddaughter, and...""You are planning to use me to get Henry's attention and neglect his own family

"I'm coming with you," I insisted even though I am very weak."No, Aliyah. You should stay here with Cristel," he said.I don't want to stay here while he's dealing with big things. I need to be with him, he will go to do me a big favor."Please, it is time to come back. We cannot hide forever. Cristel and I must face who killed her parents. They should pay for what they did." I tried to stand but my legs are weakling."Aliyah, it is better for you to not meddle with this mess. You are weak and you can't be in trouble," he said then carried."Please, let me come with you. If you convince Sonia to marry you this day, I can't guarantee that you will see me again after that." I am crying now.I heard him sighed. "Alright, besides, I want to spend more time with you.""Nothing will happen to me as long as you are here beside me. You will protect, right?" I caressed his face."I will protect you with all of my life." He kissed the b
