Waking up, Kianna finds herself sleeping in a comfortable bed with a very soft pillow. Looking around, that is when she went alert after knowing how she was now in an unusual place. It wasn’t the same bed she had when she was still in that boat. “Where am I…?” she asked herself even if she knew that she would not receive any answer. Soon after she woke up, a knock was heard before the door opened. “Ah, so you are awake. Great, the food is ready” Remembering what happened, she now realized what she had done. After escaping those people who were chasing her, Drake did his best to divert their attention to him. Making Kianna escape and end up falling into the boat of Francis. Francis Kieffer Mendes. Kianna looks at him as she calls his name. “Kie- I mean… Francis… sorry for the trouble but I would be needing your help till I find Drake. I will pay you back for all the expenses, I promise” Not saying a word, Kianna didn’t notice the change of reaction in Francis’s face as he heard h
“Francis, can I borrow your phone again?” I can’t help but to ask and borrow his phone, even after finishing the meal, I am still worried. Maybe now I can contact Seki “Here” Giving me the phone, even now I still can’t believe it was him who helped me. Before, whenever I needed help from him, I couldn’t even see a shadow of him. A curse maybe or perhaps… a blessing? Things don’t go the way we want them to be… but maybe… what we want isn’t what the good for us. Because… if there is one thing I should be thankful for all the pain I felt back then, which I don’t even remember… it would be… because of that, because of him not accepting me… because of him not loving me back… I found the one that was meant for me. “Thanks” I mumbled. Is it thanks for the phone? Thanks for helping me? Thanks for the meal? I don’t even know… maybe all? Dialing Ysekiel’s number once again, hoping that this time… she would answer me. Hoping that this time… I would be able to- [Yes? Who’s this?] End o
“Ah, sorry, please tell her I called if she is back. Okay?” [Yes, Maam, I will tell her. May I know your name?] “Just tell her to call me back” [Yes ma'am. I understand. I will tell Maam Ysekiel right away] Seki… I thought I already… I had hoped that it would be Seki who would answer that. But to think it wasn’t her… what should I do now? I really don’t know… . . . “Do you need anything else?” Asking me that question, I was surprised when Francis offered me a tab with cookies. I don’t know but I am not really in the mood of eating right now. “I need to call Seki… I am worried about Drake… I need to know if he is fine or if he is safe…” Starting from the inside of this mansion, the walls are pure glass pane. Which makes it easy for me to see the outside. But with each hit of the waves creating splashes from the nearby rock forms, I could not help but remember Drake. Those times we would have memories in the waters… But to think it would also be the last thing I will see as
“Serena, are you sure?” [Yes, I can’t contact you as well so I tried calling Xemion and he gave me Shaun’s number. Saying you are with him and that you are there, maybe you can check if Kianna is fine?] “Like hell I won’t! Thank you, Serena, you are a great help!” [I will head there as well, please update me on the situation] “Yes, I will. Thanks again” Dropping the call, I look at Shaun. I was really surprised when I heard Serena is calling Shaun asking for me… but to think she know where Kianna is… I am jealous… but it was my fault in the first place! “Shaun, Serena gave me this address… It seems like the heaven is helping us” Nodding his head, I gave back the phone to him. For sure he would be calling Drake to tell him about what happened. I am really worried about the two of them… I hope things will be all right for them.. Why can’t they just live a happy life? Is that so much to ask? Remembering all the hardship that Kianna has gone through, it worries me how she can even
Explaining to them what happened, every time someone would enter the place through the door, I can’t help but have my eyes looking at that direction. “So that is what happened…” Nodding my head, Francis soon shows up having a frown on his face. “This place is not a zoo. Can you please leave?” “Francis… for saving Kianna. You have my thanks” Seki mumbled as she faced Francis. But she receives no reply. Making her punch his shoulder slightly with a smile. “What? You wanna treat me like a stranger?” “I thought you were mad at me” “Well, I still have a bit of hate for you… you see” I can’t help but giggle. But somehow… I feel like it was my fault. Both Seki and him were on good terms before but then… Hah… I have lots of things to apologize but I don’t even know if it is needed- I was surprised when I almost lost my balance. A pair of hands caged me in his arms. I can feel his hair touch my cheeks. But even if I don’t see his face… I know who he is. This very scent… this warmth
I do not wish to involve my mother and grandparents about the situation we are at now. That is the reason why Drake and I decided not to stay close in where they are. But after all the things that happened, I don’t think that I can stay the same as before. “Are you worried?” “Yeah… I miss them too. I am sure they are worried about us as well but…” Caressing my hair, he pull me close to him as I lay the back of my head on his shoulder. “I’m sorry…” “Why are you apologizing again?” “Because… I mess things up. When we are planning to have a happy secluded life… I should have-“ “I should have listened to you too, Drake. The reason why we are in this situation is all because of me. Sorry for dragging you in this mess-“ His finger then blocks my lips. “If you are blaming yourself, stop. We are at fault… the two of us” Giggling, I really want to give him a happy life. The one he deserves… “Maybe I should try asking my father for help” “But you hated him… don’t do something you h
‘My lovely daughter… forgive me… I am sorry that I am your mother…’ I want to forget those things that I saw in the memories of fourth. It was just so painful… She did live a safe life but those around her didn’t… Many people died… Many people was hurt… Many people loses something important to them… Many people got their lives ruined…. And…. and it was… all because of… Me… “Why is it like that?” Not just my mom… not just Serena and Seki… even my Grandmother and Grandfather… all of them… Seki hated me because I was the reason why she almost lost Shaun’s life… while Serena… she died blaming me for losing her eyes… the only one that stayed by my side there was Drake… but even there… they took him away from me. Just to keep me alive… he died for my sake even though in that memory… I… I don’t love him. Scared of dying… and thinking that the lives that others had given would be a waste if I die… I lived a long life yet… is that even living? Every day I blamed myself. To be able
“What are you planning to do now? Kianna?” With my grandma asking me that, I can see how worried she is. Of course, she would not let me go there by myself. Of all, I know that she is having a hard time now. That she can’t even pull herself to stand up after all the stress that she has been through. “I asked for help from those people that I know, slowly, we are collecting data about things that can be used as evidence against Marco. We have been doing that for some time now. Even the death of my father… The one whom we are thinking of as the main culprit in all of this… and about mom… I think it was him” Smiling at my grandmother, I hold her hand. “I will save her” “Are you planning to head there? In the place that they gave you?” “Grandma… how did you…” Shaking her head, she holds my hand so tight. As if she is trying to stop me. “You will stay here. I can’t lose you as well… Kianna” “But I need to go to save Mom” “It is dangerous” I know of all that she is just saying tha
“Congratulations”I look at Francis he hand me an envelope.“Thank you”Looking at it, I look at Drake. Somehow, it surprises me how he looks normal. Well... he did know my past with Francis but I am glad that he have trust in me.“Thank you for coming to our wedding. They said it was thanks to you that Lhanoir agreed in playing the piano for our us. You have my deepest thanks.”The exchange greetings and it just occurs me what they are talking about. Now that I remember it, that sound of the piano, that kind of playing... it was out of ordinary. Who would have thought it was Lhanoir? I admired her when I was young...Now that I think about it... I think Drake told me something about the pianist for our wedding... but I was so sleepy that I didn’t really understand what he was talking about.“You don’t have to thank me. It just happened that I have an acquaintance who is close to her”Blinking my eyes, I look back at Drake and Francis. Slightly giggling, I didn’t think that there would
Right in front of me, I could see far away the figure of Drake standing at the end of the aisle.If I could, I would run to where he is... but that would be funny. How can a slow walk of the bride be a bride running to her groom?That was quite cute but... I can’t help but giggle with what I was thinking.Still, it helps me calm down as I took my step walking closer and closer to where he is.The sound of the piano was so wonderful that I even wonder where that familiar playing was from. But right now, I don’t find the urgency to find out the answer for that.For my mind was filled with nothing but hopes that the carpet I was walking on would bring me quicker to where Drake was.Somehow, Drake’s eyes was locked on mine, that even after I stopped my walk, he didn’t leave his gaze off me.A hand then offered his hands to me. It was grandpa.Dad is not here so grandpa offered to be the one to walk me down the aisle. And I could wish nothing else but this.“You look much more beautiful to
The feeling of losing something important.... the feeling of not being able to do anything for it...I can’t help but feel useless...Those things that I have, I am grateful. But to those things that I let go...I feel like, I am an asshole...Did I really make the right choice?Kianna...She’s been with me ever since. I truly care for her but... I thought... casting her away would be the right choice for her to forget her feelings for me.But... every time... I wonder if I have made the right choice...She was there when I needed her but when she needed me... I cast her away. I push her and avoid her...“Are you finally awake?”“Hmm...”“What’s the matter?”I look at myself in the mirror. Indeed, I also want to ask that to myself. What is the matter with me?“Kieffer, are you all right? Do you want to go to the hospital?”Slightly laughing, I shook my head.“No need Mom, I am fine”No, I am not. I have so many troubles in my head that I want to clear up. It is not like I could say th
There are things we might forget but that doesn’t mean they are no longer important to us.There are times we feel like we know someone when we don’t really even have a bit of conversation with them. Just the feeling of being close to that person for some reason. As if the moment you talk with them, what you can find is nothing but comfort... as if you have known them for so long...There are times that we feel guilty about something we don’t even know. As if we feel so sorry for any trouble we have caused. But when we asked ourselves what that was about... no words came out of our mouths.Weird... yet at the same time, we can’t even say it wasn’t true. For all of it was real and valid.We feel sad for a sudden moment in our lives. And funnily... it is for no reason at all... or maybe there really is a reason behind it but we just don’t really remember. We just don’t really know what the reason behind those tears was...Our minds are blocked from remembering what it really was. As if
They said that dreams are something that we shouldn’t remember. For it was designed to be forgotten once we are awake.But in some rare cases, dreams... make us remember them. To give us a message... to grant us some warnings... realization of something that only our subconscious mind can comprehend.‘I should have known that soul is a disaster’‘Her fragments are scattered... now the timelines are in chaos’‘How can a mere soul do that...’‘... She is not just a mere soul...’‘She got that blessing... even some of the angels bound in the land of mortals helped her...’‘But what would you do now? You finally got her fragments?’‘Why bother asking? There is only one thing to do. Fixed it the way it should be. Each soul must only have one memory of their life. And these two are rare cases that are starting to affect the others’My head hurts...As if... something was taken from inside me...The warmth... that I had in my heart seemed to be leaking out.The moment I opened my eyes, it to
Everything seems to be going with its best flow... with my family, with my career... all of it was in a smooth sail... and who would have thought that... it been months since that incident?Thanks to those memories that I have, I was able to prevent most of the things that might cause a huge problem in this timeline. Weird to say this but most of the scenarios in each life have similarities. Those people around me are the same... and there are just rare cases that their deaths would be different. As if it was their fate... my fate...Still, the fact that not all of them are identical means that changes of the future is still possible. The fact that I can prevent things from happening means that I can change the future I will have either for the better or worst of it.But I do hope that the future will be good to me... To be honest, this life is not just for me alone. It is for me and all of the Kiannas that lived a life before mine.Those things that they weren’t able to do... those w
In the end, I failed to see the photo he took. But he was so happy, I can tell. Well, I would admit, me too… I feel so happy now that we two were able to have this much fun.“Yes, that would be all for today”I mumbled as I shut close the folder I had in my hand. All the files regarding the situations that happened are now updated. I think we’ve fixed almost all of it... well, maybe aside from some minor things. But it shouldn’t be a trouble at all.Letting out a deep sigh, I can’t help but miss my date with Drake. I wonder what he is doing today...Opening my bag, I pick up my phone but...“Huh? This isn’t my phone...”It was Drake’s...Did I end up picking up his phone before heading out? Now that I think about it, our phones were charging closely with each other...“Maybe I did pick it up by mistake... I should call him- no... I should call my phone that is probably with him right now...”I giggled as I realized how clumsy it was to not realized that I took the wrong phone with me.
I do have that question for myself as well.Now that the world finally knows I am dead, would it be… right to announce the truth?That is something I am still not sure.And also… What would happen to the company now… I mean… Dad is not around and my brother- No, what I mean is Marco… he is not even my brother…“Kianna…”Patrish mumbles for the first time.“Whatever it might be… please tell us if you plan something big again…”Smiling bitterly, Patrish looks at me.“We are not just your friends, we are a family too. So we were really hurt when we learned about your death. We are hurt more than you can ever think of…”“Patrish…”“I understand what happened but still, we didn’t like what you did. We are happy that you are back but we feel betrayed…”I nod my head. I know that. I already knew it would be like that and I understand that it was but my fault.“I am really sorry… I know that what I did is wrong. Sorry… really”…After that conversation, I never hear Hera’s voice again. She ref
“Kianna? You are…”“Alive?”Looking at their surprised face, I am not sure of where to start. Should I say hello? Or should I explain things first? I… really don’t know.I can feel my hand turning numb. Joined with my heart that was beating so loud, I couldn’t take it… My head is in a mess. As if I am a device full of things with no storage left. And about to turn weird any time soon.Patrish, Scott, Kyler, Exequiel, and Warren. They all came here to see Hera. And also because of the fact that I send them a message to come here…“Thank you for coming here today…”Patrish could not help but put her hand on her lips. Covering it as she did not remove her eyes from me.“Wait wait wait… I don’t understand… Kianna… is that really you? This is not some kind of a joke, is it? If it is, guys it is not funny at all. Quit it right away!” Exequiel mumbles as he has his hands holding his hair.Still is not sure of what was happening.Still can’t process what the whole situation is all about.“Yes
