“DA-DDY! “Sigaw ng isang batang babae kay Jace habang pilit nitong isinisiksik ang kanyang maliit na katawan sa braso ng ama. She went beside her dad, kissed him on the cheeks, and started jumping up and down the bed. “Mm? Era, baby. Why did you wake up this early?” Kahit pipikit pikit ang mata ay pilit n’yang iminumulat ito at tumingin sa maliit na alarm clock na nakapatong sa kanyang lamesa. ‘It’s just five in the morning...’ Kahit nakahiga ay nilingon nito ang paligid ng kwarto at dumungaw sa labas ng bintana na katabi lang ng kanyang kama. Ang puting kurtina ay ihinangin ng malakas kaya natakpan nito nang bahagya ang gwapong mukha ng lalaki. He woke up to the sound of the waves. ‘Hey, wake up sleepy head. We need to see the sunrise.’ Jace heard these words, so he slowly turned to look at her beautiful wife. He stared at her for seconds and genuinely smiled at her woman. Gandang-ganda padin ito kay Regina kahit pa araw-araw niya itong nakikita. “And why are you wearing
Close - Lost Souls Special Chapter: The Letter
Jace, My heart aches in sadness, and secret tears flow while writing this letter. After I found out about my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with severe anemia. I was told to take a rest and drink my medicine, which I did. But unfortunately, it didn’t work on me. If this letter was passed on to you, then I might be gone now. But that’s okay, because I have prepared everything for Era, the things that our daughter would need as she grows up. Her documents are all prepared in case you would need it for processing her papers and also, I have left an album that records my pregnancy journey. I wanted her to know how much I took care of her while she was still inside my womb until the day, I last held her. Tell our daughter that I’m always looking after her. Tell her that mommy loves her so much and tell her I’m so sorry because I couldn’t be there for her. Jace, I love you so much that if given a chance in the afterlife to turn back time and change it, I wouldn’t. I would still cho

Nilibot ng binata ang kanyang mga mata sa ganda ng kalikasan. The last time he and his friends went here was three years ago, and they were amazed by the scenery. “Jace!” Sigaw ng isa sa mga kasamahan n’ya sa Yate. He immediately turned around when he heard his name. Nakatingin ito sa lalaking nakasuot ng puting pang-itaas at kulay asul na pang-ibaba. Isa ito sa tour guides at dahil nakailang balik na s’ya sa lugar ay kilala na s’ya nito. “Why are you alone? Where are your friends?” asked the tour guide. "Oh, I left them. I guess I really just like this place so I came here alone." Lingid sa kaalaman nila ay nagpunta ng pilipinas mag-isa ang binata. Hindi n’ya alam pero may nag-udyok sa kanya na bumalik sa lugar. “GUYS, you got fifteen minutes to explore. Please don’t forget to look at your diving watch,” paalala ng lalaki sa kanila. Naghahanda ang binata ng mapadako ang tingin nito sa isang grupo na nakasakay sa isang yate na mas maliit ng kaunti kumpara sa gamit nila. He th

“REGINA!” Sigaw ng kaibigan nitong si Jazy na hindi mapigilan ang kilig na nararamdaman. “Wait, you mean he grabbed your arm?” Sa sobrang kilig ay hinampas pa nito and balikat ng kaibigan. Kahit natatawa ay tumango si Regina at pabalik na hinampas ang balikat ng kaharap. Dahil nagbubulungan lang ang mga ito ay pilit na inilalapit ni jazy ang kanyang tenga sa bibig ng kaibigan upang mas marinig pa ang sinasabi nito. “Lakasan mo naman, kahit langgam hindi maririnig ‘yang sinasabi mo,” Pagrereklamo n’ya. Hindi sila makapag-usap ng maayos dahil nasa trabaho ang mga ito. Bahagyang kinurot ng dalaga sa tagiliran ang kaibigan at inalala ang mga nangyari noong araw ng insidente. ‘I really think we’ve met before.’ ‘I’m sorry, but I think you got the wrong person. This is the first time I’ve seen you.’ ‘Okay, yeah, I must have mistaken you for someone else. Look at you, you got hurt. Here, this bandana could help prevent the bleeding.’ Napatigil sa pag-iisip ang dalaga ng maala

Jace’s heart kept on beating fast as he looked at the person from the last row who stood up. Kung kanina ay nagtataka lang s’ya kung bakit pamilyar ang babae, ngayon ay napagtanto na n’ya kung sino ito. “No. How… Why is she here?” he asked himself. He kept on looking at her and noticed the scar on her right arm. Papalapit ng papalapit ang dalaga sa kanya and his heart kept on pounding. He tried to calm himself, but how? ‘Why do I even feel this way?’ ‘Hi, this is my sister’s diary. She has a message, and she wants you to sign on this page, please. Thank you.’ He looked at her for a second. He wanted to see her reaction if she would recognize him, but to his dismay, it seemed like she didn’t recognize him at all. Ngunit ang pagkadismaya na naramdaman n’ya ay napalitan ng masayang reaksyon dahil sa prutas na ibinigay nito sa kanya. Agad nitong ibinaling ang tingin sa diary, he knows he’s been signing this notebook every event, but it’s his first time to see the lady in front of he

SA loob ng hotel ay hindi maalis ng dalaga sa isipan ang guwapong mukha ng lalaki. Pilit n’yang ibinabaling sa ibang bagay ang kanyang atensyon ngunit hindi n’ya maiwasang isipin ito. For a moment, she looked confused, but she approached her friend to tell what was bothering her. “Jazy, naalala mo yung nangyari sa kapatid ko? Yung lalaki na pinuntahan natin sa event, and the guy at the cafe, siya yung nag-ahon kay Marga.” she said as her eyes expresses astonishment. “It was him.” Gulat na napatitig ang kaibigan sa dalaga at inaya itong umupo sa dulo ng kanilang malambot na higaan. “What? You mean that gorgeous hot guy named Jace?” nakangiting tanong nito. Regina nodded in response. “I just feel bad because I wasn’t able to see him after what happened. Kahit papaano sana nakapag-pasalamat ako.” Jazy pouted back as she lay down on the bed with her hands resting on the back of her neck. “Yeah, ‘diba nga muntik na daw s’yang matangay ng alon?” She looked at her friend, who again n

HEARING that answer, she turned and ran into her room. She couldn’t even imagine herself imagining the way she showers. Agad itong napatigil nang maalala ang bikini na naiwan sa shower room. Kaya dali-dali itong nagsuot ng bathrobe at kumatok sa kabilang kwarto. “Excuse me. I don’t mean to disturb you, but I think I left something.” She knocked three times pero wala itong sagot. Naisip n’ya na baka may pinuntahan ito kaya napagpas’yahan n’yang bumalik mamaya. Lingid sa kaalaman nito ay may palihim na kumukuha sa kanila ng litrato.‘Regina Alterro, huh? How dare you! Let’s see if you can get away with this.’ Pagbukas ng elevator ay napansin ni Jaceang isang taong palihim na nagtatago sa isang banda. May dala itong camera at tila nakaturo sa direksyon ng kanyang kwarto. Sanay na sila sa ganoong sitwasyon, but he felt uneasy this time. Dumiretso nalang ito sa kanyang kwarto at nagkunwaring walang nakita. He was about to close the door when the girl from the next room began to appear in

“ARE you ready?” tanong ni Jazy sa kaibigan.Ngayon ang araw alis nila papunta sa isang syudad sa Korea at kanina pa excited ang mga ito. “Yes. Naka-impake na ako. Anong oras ba alis ng tren?” “Alas-tres pa naman ng hapon, may dalawang oras pa tayo para makapag libot dito sa Busan. Do you want to have a coffee? Magnate cafe nalang kaya uli?” Hindi na nakatanggi pa si Regina. Sa isip nito ay impossible siguro na makita n’yang muli ang binata. Pagkagising nya kasi ay wala na ang lalaki. Lumabas ito ng kwarto para sana kamustahin ang binata pero nakita n’yang nililinis ng mga hotel staff ang kwarto. ‘Umalis na siguro yun.’ Pagkatapos mag kape ng dalawa ay dumiretso na sila sa sakayan ng tren. Tatlo at kalahating oras din ang byahe nila kaya naman ay naghanda ito ng mapapanood. She opened her account when an ad for a certain network company suddenly popped up on the screen, which was advertised by a kpop boy group. Hindi makapaniwala ang dalaga na pati dito ay makikita pa nito ang b
