Kianna POV “So you came… good to see you again… Kianna…” Standing not far from me is the man who ruined my life… “Or should I call you…” there, a small mocking grin escaped his lips… “…my dear little sister?” I can feel his gaze so cold. Looking at me as if I am the most despicable person in the world. He also looks so agitated and restless for some reason. Does he truly want to kill me that much? Shouldn’t I be the one to look at him like that? How vile of him to do this to me. Not just in this time but in every other… life… Did he really choose to live a life like this? Live as if… he would die id he didn’t make me feel miserable? “Just as I thought… you are still alive” My hatred towards him… I know it will never subside just like that. I hate him… I hate him more than I hate myself… “Marco” “Are you gonna cry now? Just so you know, I am not into those cry babies. I hate their noise. It makes my head hurt so bad…” “Where is my mom?” “You guess” Smiling at me with such a
In life, did you ever have the chance where you have to choose between two things? Like… what do you like the most? Chocolate or vanilla? Or even the tricky question of who is your favorite among your parents? Your mom or your dad? For me… who was a child, the problems I always had were just about my outfit. What dress I would like to wear, what shoes would I want to pair my clothes with, or even what food shall I eat for snacks… Such simple things like that… Why… why is life so cruel? Why is the world turning like this? As if all the fairytale I have lived as a child was taken away for me. Is… is this the price? Is this the payment for being born as a Hinsen? “Think about it, my dear little sister. You only have one bullet. This bastard or that bitch? Who would you want to kill?” He then told the other people to leave. As if he can say they have no use now that they deliver Drake to him. Both of them are dear to me… yet… both their eyes are saying how they would be fine if I w
Hera POV I can’t move my body… I want to get out of this place. Really… dying because of being drowned? This is not even a beach but a small closed aquarium! Those fuckers! I am not a freaking fish! Damn it! But… Is… is this my end? Is this it? Not by fighting bad guys or stabbed by another knife? Just… this? Why do I feel like… I have lost so many chances. Even in my last time in this world… all I could think about it his face… that damn Marco. That fucking face… Why did I even like that kind of guy? He is a clean freak… he is annoying… he always bothers me… he always finds ways to find me no matter how much I try to run away… he is one hell of an annoying guy! And he… He was there when I need someone to lean on… he was there to comfort me… to love me the way I wanted to be loved… he… protects me… and that guy… he did his best to save me… I am not crying. I am not a crybaby you know… but somehow… I am not really sure if this water falling to my cheeks is made of the waters ar
Kianna POV “Why are you doing this to me?” I dare not look at Drake, Hera, or my mother. Because that man is holding a gun and he can take the life of anyone in his reach. “I also wonder why… you are not quite of a bright kid like your Mom. Oh- now I remember… because you also have that filthy blood of that damn Lenardo…” He is a more talkative person than I thought he would be. This man… somehow he was someone I hated to see… because every time I looked at him I would be reminded of my father who was his close friend before. Now I wonder if they are truly friends at all. “Yes… that filthy blood you are jealous of” I gulp as I took a step. There was a podium a bit far from me and I can see it going up little by little. He grins as he heard why remarks. “Uncle… do you think I forgot about it?” It was annoying, I hate my memories for being like this. Everything was so mixed up that I can no longer tell what happened in my timeline and the others... As if I was looking for a puzzl
Soon as I get look around to see my mother, my eyes landed on the stretcher carrying someone. It came from the side where my mom was locked. No… my mom is safe… right? I can also see Marco carrying Hera in his arms… I hope she is also doing fine- Hearing the weird sound of someone splashing water, I unconsciously look behind me and saw Mauricio. Barely moving as he swim in his own blood. Just the sight makes me want to puke. Holding my mouth, I want to leave this place right away, luckily someone pulled me to his side. “Are you all right??” It was a police… he is wearing that suit. But I can’t even look at his face since I feel like my vision is losing out of me. Did I reach my limit? “Kianna…? You are… you are really alive??” And there I saw the name on his coat, Riveral. “Help me get down…” “You need to rest, the place was secured. Rest assure” “NO,I still need to see Drake… and mom” “Stop being stubborn!!” Just that shout make be feel like someone scold me. Riveral… so
There are things in life that you can’t understand. Things that may be big or small. Things that can also be so impossible to even imagine. But there is one thing that I learned in life. That... sometimes, things happen for a reason. It may be a lesson or a small step for you to be in a certain direction. And sometimes, things just happen just because you are the reason. “Eat this too, Mom” “I have eaten plenty, what if I upset my stomach?” There are people who will distance themselves not because they don’t like to be with you but just simply because they love you so much that they decided to do so. They think that it would be the best for everyone even if they end up doing it to hurt themselves much more... They think that by doing so, it will bring greater good to both of you, and knowing that would be enough for them to endure the pain. “You call that plenty? That was just half the usual you eat, Carmina” “Mom, not you too…” I giggled as I heard my mom get scolded by her mo
Hera POV “Hera? You are awake” A voice that speaks with great relief... as I opened my eyes, there I saw the man I love looking at me. “Marco…” I called out his name. How long has it been since I last woke up with him waiting for me to open my eyes? How nostalgic it is for me to even think about it... “You are still here?” Smiling at me, I can’t help but wonder if this is a dream. I thought… I thought I wouldn’t even have the chance to see it again… How funny, just a while ago I felt like I was about to die. Just a while ago, I felt like everything would come to an end. But yet... I am still here. And he... he is still here with me... “Yeah… I told them to at least let me stay by your side… until you finally wake up” “Them?” What does he mean by that? Holding my hand, I could feel his eyes melting in my sight. What is wrong with him? Why do I feel like, he is carving this memory in his very mind to remember? As if, it would be the last time he could see my face. It fee
Kianna POV “Hera… how are you?” “…” I did expect her to be like this but… really… I wonder if it would be alright. “Hey, speak to me…” “Is that what you would say to your friend who mourns for your fake death?” I look at the ground as I fidget my fingers. Indeed, she was right. I was a person who faked her death and now… “I am sorry…” Looking at me, I can’t even say any other words than my apology. They deserve to know the truth. They deserve to know it as my friend. They were hurt when they learned about my death. I know it but… Things are just so complicated that I can’t just speak about what happened so freely. It is not like I can let many people know about it... It would just bring them in danger... “You frame your death. Do you know how hurt we are? Specially Patrish. Do you know how much pain she was in just because of your damn play?!” I want to defend myself. Say the reason why I did that for their sake but in the end, I can’t find myself trying to say any words at
“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
