Chapter 41. “It’s alright, I’m fine”After we ate our lunch, we are now heading to the venue of the Kite Competition. Habang nasa biyahe kami, ay tahimik lang kaming pareho, actually simula pa kanina sa may coffee shop ay tahimik lang kaming pareho. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero nasasaktan akong ganito kaming dalawa ni Gavril. From what he said earlier, I feel like he is too far away from me, and it is hurting me.But behind those words he said earlier to me, I know that I should be the one to blame. His face while shedding tear when he left that night flash in my mind. I know that I hurt him, I know that he was hurt because I kept on pushing him away every time that I have seen the vision of his death. How many times did I ask him to leave me? To stay away from me? Now, I know how he feels every time I say those words to him. And it is not a good feeling. It feels like anytime my chest will burst out, and my tears will

Chapter 43. “Mystery of the last note”Tahimik kong pinagmamasdan ang mga batang naglalaro rito sa playground. Hapon na at naisipan kong ilabas muna si Sham-sham at maglakad-lakad dito sa village at nang mapadaan ako dito sa playground ay naupo muna ako at hawak ang tali ni Sham-sham na nasa tabi ko.Mag-iisang linggo na mula nang magbakasyon kami ni Gavril sa Tagaytay at manalo sa Kite Competition sa Cavite. Ganoon pa rin naman ang nangyayari, pumupunta si Gavril sa bahay, maglalaro sila ni Sham-sham, magku-kwentuhan kami at saka uuwi na siya. Pero sa ilang araw na palagi kong kasama si Gavril sa bahay, palagi ko pa ring naiisip ang sinabi sa akin ni Auntie Remi tungkol kay Gavril. I don’t understand why do I need to stay away from Gavril just because he is a Santillan? I don’t get it and what is the connection of Gavril’s family to ours? Bakit kilala ni Auntie Remi ang family ni Gavril?“Si Gavr

Chapter 45. “Nightmare of the past ”It’s been a week since Gavril and I didn’t see and meet. And there are about five days before the said date of Gavril’s accident. Habang palapit nang palapit ang petsang nakasulat sa note ay mas lalo akong kinakabahan. Amanda and Alexis are busy with the last note. And since last week, we still didn’t find who is the person named Gabriel on the last note.These past few days, I feel like I went back to my old self, myself of being alone again. Siguro ay nasanay na ako na araw-araw ay nakikita at nakakasama ko si Gavril. Pero dahil kailangan namin hindi magkita para maiwasan ang mangyayari ay handa akong maging mag-isa. Alexis also forbids us to communicate with each other. Noong una ay nalungkot ako but later on I understand and realized Alexis’ order.Bukod sa hindi namin pagkikita ni Gavril ng isang Linggo, isa pa sa nangyari na pinagtataka ko ay ang palagi

Chapter 47. “The Family Feud”Buong araw kong pinag-iisipan kahapon ang lahat tungkol sa nalaman ko. What happened in the past is still clear in my mind. That tragic scene of my life, the day when my parents died in front of my own very eyes. And now that I found who is responsible for that tragedy. It was him, hindi ako maaaring magkamali. Pero sa likod ng galit na nararamdaman ko nang malaman kong Daddy ni Gavril ang taong nagpakidnapped sa akin noon, mayroon akong lungkot na nararamdaman. Bakit sa dami ng tao, magulang pa ng lalaking mahal ko ang gumawa noon?That day, I leave Gavril in confusion. Tumakbo lang ako palabas ng bahay nila without saying a word. Sobra akong nabigla at natakot nang malaman ko ‘yon. Kaya naman kahapon pa rin ako tinatawagan ni Gavril and he even went here pero hindi ko s

Chapter 49. “Dark clouds, pouring rain”March 15, 2019Naitakip ko ang dalawang palad ko sa aking mukha habang malinaw kong nakikita at naririnig ang matinis na tunog ng isang aparato sa loob ng emergency room. The doctor was applying CPR but in the end, the woman I bumped earlier died. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." I whispered as I wiping off my tears.  Another death happened. Isa na namang pagkamatay na nakita ko. "Excuse me?" napapitlag ako nang may kumatok sa pinto ng cubicle kung nasaan ako. "Are you okay?"A deep voice of a man asked me. Nalito ako at nagtaka dahil nasa restroom ako dito sa school pero bakit may lalaki sa loob ng restroom ng mga babae?"I'm fine...just leave me." sagot ko habang inaayos ang sarili ko. I heard him chuckled. "You know what, you really scared me. I thought you're a ghost. Muntik nang hindi lumabas i
