2021-09-07 07:20:34Hindi ko malaman kung anong ideya ang pumasok sa isip ko at talagang tumuloy ako sa address na nakasulat sa envelope. Vera nasaan ang talino mo dito? What if scammer yung Luna at may mga kidnappers ang nag-aantay pala sa akin doon?
Pero mukhang hindi rin reasonable yung scenario na naisip ko kasi bakit naman ako maki-kidnap eh hindi naman kami mayaman?
Kidding aside, to be honest, marami pa ring gumugulo sa aking isipan at nagtatalo ang mga ito kung bakit ako pumayag umuwi sa amin. Pero sa gitna ng nagwawalang isip ko, mas nanaig ang lakas ng kutob ko kaya ako nagdesisyong umuwi. I risk and took a leap of faith in this decision because I believe na masasagot ng pag-uwi ko ang lahat ng tanong ko at makikita ko sa address na ito ang magbibigay ng clarity sa mga bagay na hindi ko maintindihan.
It has been 10 years, since my feet touched the grounds of our old home in Ilocos. I never managed to have the courage to return there after all the sorrows and memo

The Woman, The Dreams and The Moon Chapter 6
Dali-dali akong bumalik sa kinauupuan kong sofa at marahang tinitigan ang box na bigay ni Luna. I don't know if I am insane and hallucinating or totoo ang lahat ng naexperience ko. Gulong gulo pa rin ang utak ko. I can't believe in anything that's going on. I don't know if I should trust Luna, hindi ko nga sure kung nageexist siya or isang lang siyang illusion from my imagination. Nothing is special in the box. Medyo maliit ang size ng kahon, kamukha ng mga kahon ng relo. Walang bahid ng kahit anong kulay ang mala-nyebeng kulay nito, kumikinang sa kaputian. Sa ibabaw ng box, I saw again the same symbol na nakita ko sa seal ng envelope na natanggap ko kahapon sa office. Probably, it is Luna's signature. I tried to silence my raging thoughts. Nabibinggi na ako sa ingay ng mga tanong na nagkakagulo sa utak ko.I looked intently to the box. I cannot count the times I am tempted to open it. C

Wala akong maramdaman. It feels like, my whole body was consumed by a pitch black endless pit. I am totally numb. Wala akong makita kung hindi kadiliman. Takot na takot ako. This is the first time I felt such terrible fear. Am I dead? Ganito ba ang pakiramdam ng kamatayan? Wala din akong marinig. Maybe I am on a vacuum dimension. No air, no land, nothing is in here. Ito ba ang destination after death? I have a lot of questions in my mind but I think it will never be answered. Mukhang hindi na ako makakalis dito. Siguro, this is my eternity.Then, in a snap, a lamp post, a chair and a mirror appeared in front of me. The lamp radiated a soft light, just enough to outshine a portion of this dimension. The place is still covered with darkness but because of the light I am able to see myself. The light flickered twice. Suddenly, my body felt a strong force na tila ba binuhasan ako ng malamig

"Stop looking!" I shouted during my shame. I am totally embarrassed. What am I supposed to react? This is super awkward, and humiliating to the depths, as well. Then, John offered his jacket."Take this. It is too cold here."he said while stuttering and trying so hard to make the situation calm as possible. John's face was on the shade of deep red at bakas na bakas ang pagkataranta sa mukha niya."Thank you."Dali dali kong sinuot ang jacket. Buti na lang medyo matangkad si John, kaya mahaba ang manggas at laylayan nito. It is enough to cover me. He smiled awkwardly. Then, he helped me to stand. I was about to walk when John gave me something."Sayo yata ito."he is giving me acolor white boxna nanggaling sa hinigaan ko. I immediately took the box. Again, the box looks the same as what Luna g

Bago kami magpunta sa lugar kung saan ako dadalin ni John, dumaretso muna kami sa aming bahay para makahanap man lang ako ng damit na itatakip sa aking katawan. Pagkaraan ng ilang minuto, nakita ko si John na taimtim na naghihintay sa labas ng pinto. Paglapit ko sa kanya, walang ano-ano ay hinawakan niya ang aking kamay at dinala kung saan. Napapalibutan ng nagtataasang puno ang mga bahay namin dito. It is like our houses are in the middle of a forest. Liblib at medyo malayo sa ingay ng town. Akala ko sa isang bakateng lote lang ako dadalhin ni John but he is now leading me towards a secluded place, and I don't know exactly kung saan. "Saan mo ba ako dadalin?"I asked John but he remain walking silently na tila ba hindi ako nadinig. To be honest, medyo kinakabahan ako sa mga nagaganap. Hindi ko kayang mapredict kung anong motives or drive ang meron si John to lead me in th

"Lucy, bakit ka nandito?"tanong ko kay Lucy habang patakbo siyang lumalapit sa akin. When she reached me, she tightly hugged me na para bang matagal na kaming magkakila. Then, Luna's arrogant voice echoed."Enough of that little dramatic entrance. We are not in the movie."giit ng babaeng bored na bored na ang istura. Maya't maya pa, hinanap ng mga mata ko si John and I found him behind us. He is there but he is not moving, or should I say he is not in this moment. How come? Kanina lang before they arrived, magkausap pa kami ni John. The arrival of these women influenced the situation. For sure, Luna and Lucy's appearance might have stopped the time or had put us on a new level dimension. I don't know exactly kung anong nagaganap at kung nasaang dimension kami. Sa dinami dami ng naranasan ko, magtatanong pa ba ako? Definitely, hindi na. I am getting used to this kind of things.

John and I walked towards home. Walang nagsasalita, tanging tunog lamang ng mga kuliglig at bawat hampas ng hangin sa mga puno ang maririnig mo. Payapa ang gabing ito ngunit ang aking puso ay puno ng magkakahalong emosyon. My heart was raided by thoughts of vengeance and desire to finally reclaim whatever they had stolen from me and my family. My blood is flowing in my veins like fire that cannot be contained."Vera, would you like to drink some coffee with me?" John asked shyly. Hindi ko alam kung nagpapacute siya or what. Gusto niya pa ako makasama? I bet hindi, I would rather think that he would only want to see me and my newfound powers. I agreed to him since wala naman akong gagawin for the rest of the night.We reached their house. Pagkapasok ko pa lang sa bahay nila, my memories with his grandparents played like a movie in my mind. I am totally in awe sa lahat ng nai

Magpupula ang buwan sa ikatlong gabi. Hindi ko inexpect that it will be so soon. Rebecca's initiative to invite and accompany us to the tribe is not accidental but I have a feeling that she planned to take us there, on the night when they choose the next tribal leader. She is up to something. Sigurado akong pinaghahandaan nila ang pagdating ko. They are planning to kill me to finally wipe out ang mga tinuturing nilang taksil. I truly need to prepare. I need to awaken whatever power ang kailangan kong gisingin. I immediately tied my hair and wear comfortable clothes from my wardrobe. I wore my typical gym outfit. Then, I rushed to the woods.Pagkarating ko sa malawak na kakahuyan, malapit sa bahay namin, my eyes were caught by John's alluring presence. Hindi ko alam, why in my vision, John is shining. Siguro, effect lang ito ng maliwanag na sinag ng araw na direktang tumatama sa kanya. He

John and Angelo were both having a hard time processing the situation. Lucy is now sitting beside me while we are both staring their awkward faces. I offered coffee for both men. "Coffee?" I asked. Hindi na ako masyadong nagugulat at natitimang sa mga nagaganap. I am used to face unexpected and peculiar events now. Sa dami ba namang naganap sa buhay ko in just few days. I finally adjusted myself. Now, I am prepared discovering more uncanny things dahil for sure, many of these kinds is yet to come. But the case is not the same for this two in front me, they totally got shook sa mga nangyari. Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. They both look surprise at tipong hindi alam kung anong irereact."Sir John?"Lucy called my boss. I almost forgot that she has an ability to see through a person. Marahil, nakita na ni Lucy ang buong laman ng isip ni John. Then, the man's eyes wid

This is what Angelo had seen that night after the crumbling of thunders and lightnings."Sa muling pagtatago ng araw sa buwan, ang kalangitan ay mayayanigMasasadlak ang lahat sa isang trahedyang walang kasing bagsik.Magtutuos ang liwanag at ang dilim sa isa pang pagkakataonTitigil ang oras at ang lahat ay hihinto, dadagundong ang katapusanDadanak ang dugo sa lahat ng dako, walang ligtas sa darating na salotSisibol ang isang digmaang nagmula sa walang hanggan
The Woman, The Dreams and The Moon Chapter 26
Luna's POVI am always alone. I feel alone most of the time, even though I am with my sisters. I have everything that anyone could ask for. Power, beauty, charisma, charm, and many things like that but I still feel worthless. Tila ba laging may kulang, kahit na sa tingin ko, I almost got everything. Lagi akong nagnining sa ibabaw ng mundo. I shone my brightest even I suffered in pain due to my emotions. I am weak-hearted, but I never gave anyone a hint of my vulnerability. I only displayed my strong personality to be a façade of my weak side. I know I am the moon; I have purpose and significance. Actually, I am grateful to be blessing to the earth but sometimes, for me, my power is a curse. It restricts me to be humane. I wanted a low-key life, away from this kind of setup but I know it will never happen. This is my destiny.Centuries ago, we
The Woman, The Dreams and The Moon Chapter 25
Lucy's POVI was born with an identity which I don't own. The memories in my mind are not from my experiences. I live a life that is not mine. I really don't know who I am. Growing up is such a pain for me since I felt like I am living in someone else's memories and dreams. I searched for a longtime to be belong and to have something I can call my own, but I found nothing. I almost gave up and surrendered to the idea that I am nothing and I am worthless but when I met Ms.Vera in the mirror dimension, a spark of hope flamed in my soul. It took years for me to be aware of my purpose but when that moment arrived, I can't describe how joyous it was. Tila ba lahat ng pagdududa mo sa sarili mo at ang pakiramdam na wala kang halaga, it all happened. Nawala ng parang bula. My eyes see through her, and I knew that my dreams and memories belong to her. I saw my purpose right before my eyes.
The Woman, The Dreams and The Moon Chapter 24
I am believer of everything. I believe that the world was made up of different realities since I was fully aware of the supernatural things that exist alongside with the human's flat beliefs. Since the moment I was born, I knew my purpose. Nakatatak na sa aking puso at isipan ang aking misyon. I knew that I had to protect someone. Kaya, unang kita ko palang kay Vera that day when I saw her on our house, I knew immediately that I need to guard and protect her at all costs. I tried to be involved in almost all of her life achievements and milestones pero sa hindi malamang dahilan, Vera was always annoyed to me. Hindi ko lang pinapahalatang alam kong naiinis siya sa akin, but I can't help it. I liked it when she was annoyed. It is a beauty to see.Ako na yata ang pinakamasayang tao sa buong mundo when I finally knew that she had shape shifted. Yes, alam kong taong lobo si Vera, even at the
The Woman, The Dreams and The Moon Chapter 23
Vera's POVMy life started normal. I never believe in anything. Supernatural is just a fiction for me. My world was confined and strictly black and white. I am skeptic and a believer of facts. But my life turns around in just a snap, life opened doors that took me off guard and beyond my comfort zone. These past few weeks, I had discovered my roots and had been involved in the supernatural realm. I can't believe that I belong here.Malakas ang buhos ng ulan. Nakapikit pa rin ang aking mga mata. Nagtatalo na ang liwanag at ang dilim, hudyat na malapit ng sumibol ang araw. But the pain in my heart can't subside. Hindi ko maimagine that John is now gone. I lost two loved ones again, Jane and John. I don't know how to endure this. Lucy and Angelo were both hugging me tightly. They were also crying. We let our tears be washe

Part 3: The Dreams"Nasaan tayo? Ms. Vera? Kuya? Sir John?"matinis at puno ng takot na sigaw ni Lucy."I can't see anything!"she added and cried. Napatigil at napalayo ako kay John after hearing Lucy's voice. I wiped out every tear in my eyes and tried to calm my emotions. "Lucy, we are here. Calm down."I assured the girl. Maya't maya pa, nagising na rin si Angelo. They are both curious and confused. Hindi nila alam kung bakit sila nakablindfold. I looked at John na sa ngayon sumadal sa pader. He is beside me. To be honest, I feel secured, knowing that John is beside me. I tried to crawl towards Lucy and Angelo. I managed to not scream even the pain in my body strikes like a burning charcoal because of silver. When I reached them, I removed their blindfolds?I was caught by Lucy's eyes. Normal na ulit

Part 2: The WomanBinalot ng dilim ang aking paningin. Hindi ko na alam kung anong mga sunod na naganap. The last thing I remembered ay ang pagtawa ni Nueva. I knew for a fact that we are being abducted papunta sa isang lugar. I can't imagine, Jane, was Nueva. She was a moon. Mahal ko ang bestfriend ko, Jane is different from Nueva. Gustong-gusto kong maniwala na si Jane at si Nueva ay hindi iisa but Jane transformed in front of me. I am gathering all my logical thoughts and thinking all the possibilities of Nueva copying Jane's figure, but I cannot deny the fact that I saw Jane then she became Nueva. My heart bleeds and I can't stop crying. Nueva's power kept me sleeping but deep inside of me, I am hurting really bad. Hindi ko matanggap na all this time, Jane is an enemy. She is like a sister to me. She was present in everything about me. I shared my life with her. Hindi ko matanggap.
The Woman, The Dreams and The Moon Chapter 20
Part 1: The MoonJane is approaching our location. Wala akong maaninag na kahit anong reaksyon sa mukha niya. Her face is completely blank, malayo sa Jane na bubbly at puno ng sigla. I don't know kung paano niya natunton ang location namin. I never told her about this place."Jane!"tawag ko sa kanya mula sa harap ng pinto namin. John looks confused maging sila Angelo and Lucy. Hindi naman alam kung anong irereact. Dapat ba kaming matuwa or matakot? I smiled awkwardly sa papalapit na si Jane. I tried to ease the situation."Hindi mo naman sinabing pupunta ka. Hindi ako prepared."pangbungad na bati ko sa kanya as soon as reached us.She just smiled after hearing what I said. John held me in my arms and pulled me an inch away from Jane. I looked at him. Bakas sa mukha ng lalaki ang takot at concern. He thinks that Jane is dange
