Beginning

 After taking the train to the City Hall Station that brought us here in Manhattan's Civic Center, the New York City Flag hoisted high caught my attention. While the male tourist guide is accompanying us all the way to Brooklyn Bridge, Indra called me."Amorelle, kuhanan mo ako ng litrato dito dali," she excitedly beamed while giving me her light blue polaroid.She made a different pose, grinning from ear to ear and flexing her long down puffer coat, fringe scarf, skinny jeans and suede booties. Nakangiti ito nang malawak at mukhang masayang masaya sa ginagawa."Ang ganda…" Manghang manghang wika niya sa mga litratong nakuha ko habang naglalakad kami rito sa Washington Street.I was in awe when we arrived and started walking here in Brooklyn Bridge. The views around this bridge that connects two great New York City boroughs, Manhattan and Brooklyn are very phenomenal. The whole place is in between different beautiful architectures.

Chapter 1

Twisted FateI always had fear of death ever since I became aware of the clock birthmark engraved on my left palm. I always hate celebrating my birthday because it always serves as a reminder that I'll die young.My parents told me that among our generations, I am very different because my two clock birthmarks have the same date.Because of too much curiosity, I tried researching and reading stories and blogs that tackle different painful tragedies.The first one is a 38 years old woman who had the same case as mine who prepared a wedding the day before she met her other half. Hindi pa man sila nakakarating sa kalahati ng seremonya ng kasal, namatay sa heart attack yung babae.That day became her happiest and that day also ends everything about her.Mayroon ring isang lalaki na may kidney failure.

Baby It was already 1 am when I arrived home. Mabilis namang napatayo sina mommy at daddy na kaninang nakaupo sa sofa habang hindi makapaniwala matapos nila akong makita."Sweetheart," my mom softly uttered before hugging me. I wasn't able to stop myself too. I ended up crying because of what happened.I thought it was the end for me. Indra and Aziel were both wrong when they keep on reminding me that the clock birthmarks on my left palm will definitely indicates my death.If that's the case, bakit hindi ako namatay? Why I am still alive and breathing right now?Kumalas sa pagkakayakap sa'kin si mommy bago hinawakan ang magkabilang pisngi ko."Paano nangyari....Hindi n'ya magawang maituloy yung sasabihin n'ya matapos makita ang dalawang palad ko."It's g-gone. A-Anong nangyari sa anak natin, Gregor?" naguguluhan n'yang tanong bago yumakap kay daddy."Sweetheart, will y

Chapter 3

SurpriseI am still pissed when I arrived here in our apartment. Kaagad akong humalukipkip nang makaupo ako sa sofa. Sa kalagitnaan ng pag iisip, naramdaman ko ang balahibo ni Callie sa may paa ko. Kaagad ko itong binuhat.She's getting heavier. Parang noong isang araw lang ay namo-mroblema pa si Lissy kung paano ito papakainin.I suddenly remember what Dr. Alvi texted me earlier. He told me if he can have a picture of Callie. Nakaisip naman ako ng magandang ideya.Binuhat at niyapos ko si Callie. After that, we took a photo together then I send it to him. Like what I am expecting, he didn't reply quickly again. Bigla ko tuloy naisip kung ano ang pinagkakaabalahan niya ngayon.

Jacket"Can I see your clock birthmark?" I asked, standing infront of him while his expression remains unchanged."No,""Just for five freaking seconds.""No,""Why can't you?""No,"Napapikit ako sa sobrang inis dahil sa naging sagot n'ya. Damn it! Talagang pinaglalaruan ako ng tadhana. My dad told me that between destined couples, a man had the great affection towards his other half. If Alton was really meant for me, bakit hindi kami pareho ng nararamdaman? Sobrang naguguluhan na ako. We haven't met each other for so long but I really I felt a strong connection everytime that I'm with him.I was about to say more words but he already turned his back on me. I sigh in irritation before going back inside my room. Callie was lying on my bed. Tumabi na lang ako rito bago s'ya pinaglaruan."Make sure you bite his hand the next time he touches you, Callie. That damn annoying guy deserves it," turo ko

Chapter 5

Younger sister"C-Can I just stay here? Naghirap ako maglakad dito tapos...tapos pababalikin mo lang ako?" naiinis kong sambit nang hawakan na naman n'ya ang palapulsuhan ko.Hindi ako basta basta magpapadala sa mga sinabi n'ya. Maybe he just said those words to convince me to go home."You're so stubborn," he madly asserted. Sinubukan kong kuhanin ulit yung palapulsuhan ko mula sa kanya at mabuti naman nabitawan na n'ya ako."Do you want me to go home so you can flirt with any girls you want? Do you think I'm jealous?" humalukipkip ako habang derecho ang mga mata sa kanya."What are you saying?" Huminahon ang boses niya."Bahala ka na! Basta ako babalik ako doon," huling sambit ko bago ako inis na nagmartsa paalis. Besides, hindi naman n'ya ako maloloko. He told me that my cousin will be here. It's too early in the morning so Aziel is probably sleeping by now.Dr. Alvi is just fooling me because

Chapter 6

Annoyed"I thought you're going to find a new apartment?" masungit na tanong sa akin ni Alton nang makita n'yang bumalik ako dala yung mga gamit ko. It's been a week since their medical mission happened.Sa sobrang inis ko sa kanya, sa bahay na ako tumuloy ng isang linggo. I'm planning to just stay there for the whole school year pero na-realize kong hindi ko pala kaya. Bukod sa malayo ito mula sa Aestwood, hindi ko rin kayang iwanan na lang basta si Callie sa kanya.Lissy texted me last night that she let Alton take care of our pet dahil masyadong mareklamo si Aziel. "Bakit mo ako pinapaalis? Ako naman ang nauna dito?" naiinis ko ring sagot bago ko iniwan yung maleta ko at kinuha mula sa kanya si Callie.Nakita ko namang tumayo ito para sana lumapit sa akin pero kaagad ko s'yang dinuro para huminto s'ya sa pwesto n'ya."Stay there. At pwede bang wag ka ring feeling close? I am not your

Chapter 7

WeirdI woke up early today. Hindi ko alam kung bakit mas nauna pa akong nagising kaysa sa alarmclock ko. It's still 6  in the morning but I just decided to go out of my room. Mas maganda na rin siguro na maaga para hindi na ako magmamadali mamaya.Pagkabukas ko ng pinto ay s'yang paglabas rin ni Alton sa kwarto niya. I don't know if he saw me or he just really pretended that he didn't. Nag aayos kasi ito ng buhok na parang kakagising lang bago umalis sa harapan ko.It's been a week since the class started. Doon ko nakumpirmang sobrang bipolar nga n'ya. There are times that he's acting very concerned to me pero most of the time ay hindi ito namamansin. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang mainis. I really hate inconsistent people!After cooking my breakfast, pumunta na ako sa table para kumain. Dr. Alvi did the same thing. Nagtimpla lang ito ng kape bago naupo sa harapan ko."Is it true?" he started asking. Nag angat

Chapter 8

Familiar  It was already 6 pm nang maihatid ako ni Aziel sa apartment. Panay text s'ya sa akin kung nasaan yung babaeng muntik na n'yang mabangga kanina. Maski naman ako ay walang ideya. After using the washroom earlier, hindi ko na ulit s'ya nakita. Pareho naman kami nagtaka ng pinsan ko lalo na ako.That woman is really weird. I don't know if everything she said had sense or pinaglalaruan n'ya lang ako. Ga'non pa man, nagdesisyon akong hanapin yung libro na ibinigay sa akin nina mommy.It's been half an hour since I started searching pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin ito makita. I'm so sure that I keep that in my room. Hindi ko alam kung bakit biglang nawala.Nagdesisyon akong pumunta sa sala sa pagbabakasakaling mahahanap ko 'yong libro. Naabutan ko naman ang pagpasok ni Alton na ngayon ay kadarating lang. Kaagad nitong binuhat si Callie na nasa may paanan n'ya bago umupo sa sofa."What

Chapter 9

Jealous "By any chance, have we met before?" I curiously asked while we're walking. He introduced himself to me earlier. He told me that he's a transfer student who also chose to study in Aestwood.Kadarating n'ya lang rin daw mula Australia. Hindi naman ako naniwala. He looks very familiar to me."No, it's my first here in your country," he asserted. Nang makarating kami rito sa mall, nagsimula na s'yang magtingin ng mga bagong models ng cellphone. Panay sulyap tuloy sa kanya yung mga sales lady ngayon dito.Vaughn is a bit taller than me. He has a tousled hair, define jaw and firm body. Mas maputi rin ito ng kaunti at halos kasing tangkad ni Alton.
