Chapter 22 | Your Past Lives
Alyana's POV
"The house is burning! Hurry and call for help!"
Everyone was stirring like ants in a hot pan, saving every necessary thing that they could still bring out from the growing fire.
Thick black smoke started to rise over the trees and condominiums along the highway next to a well-known park.
People are moving from one direction to another, doing their best to help put the fire out. Crying and breaking down from despair for lost can bee seen on everyone's faces, may it be young or old. The growth of fire was the same swing of uproar. Almost everyone shows sadness, others are emotionless like blank sheets of useless paper- except for one.
In the unlit corner of the street, a gir

"Let go! When will you stop?!" I shouted.At the moment, my sandals are already laid innocently into someplace on the darkness. I crossed the room barefoot."So will you let history repeat itself AGAIN, Alyana?" his smirk turned into a wide smile, those smile revealed his black smudged by cigarette gums and teeth, even from the dim light, it can still be discerned.The man with brown-dyed hair beside Troy found a spot in the conversation, he stepped forward and spoke in crossed arms, "Two years ago, in your lucky year of two thousand eighteen, of the date as today. Of the very similar event, our group almost killed you. I really wished to hell that it should have been your death rather than almost, but it was your lucky year indeed. The Grand Ball was postponed last year because of that encounter," he stopped to f
Between Then and Now Chapter 24 | His Potential
Hero's POVIt took me a few more puffs and the cigarette was totally burnt out. I threw that useless thing and stepped on it. I tightened my jaw in an attempt to suppress my unexplained resentment.Alyana can ask anything and I'm willing to do it except for holding my hand. Sometimes I'm cursing this ability that I have. Sometimes, I don't.This potential was something that I discovered in a bitter way when I was a kid: I can wipe out or erase any event in anyone's memory permanently by holding their palm directly. The amount of memory loss was according to the length of time interval I held on anyone's paw.It's been twenty minutes since the ten years old me started wandering out in the forest. I and my dad are on a camping trip. Already at 5:30 pm and its st
Between Then and Now Chapter 25 | Find Comfort in Loneliness
It's 5:30 am. The fog on the window started to evaporate while the rays of light commenced to outcast the dark that covered the chirps and coos of the long evening.Alyana, who's set down whilst dress is loosely spread on the clean floor, had her head laid on the sofa. The man beside her was bruised but had no dried blood on the face was rested comfortably, his soft arms supporting Alyana's head. The lady made little movements as if she was so glad in the scene played in her head, faint smiles and groans are repeatedly plastered on her serene overall complexion.Their memories say that they don't know each other, but their heart says the other way.The ticks of the clock were all that occupied the space."Brylle?" Alyana moved her head, she was shocked to se
Between Then and Now Chapter 26 | They're Dead
It was a fair day, the strike of the clock and its continues swing didn't bother Alyana in combing her hair, she's taking her time in staring at the tired young lady who's gazing back at her in the mirror, light colors of makeup are laid on her porcelain skin. A forest of undeciphered mystery can be seen in her eyes, and in the middle of that forest was her, just her: ALONE.She took few deep breaths before laying her mint green hairbrush into the compartment of her drawer. She was just supposed to put it there but her eyes took her longer in a stare because she caught another glimpse at notebook she left unopened a few days ago, the notebook where she wrote the names.She ran her slim fingers to take the thing up when she suddenly heard someone hit his car horn outside, she was more than sure of who that man was, this day was basically assigned as the

"How did they die?""Who killed them?""Why?"Alyana, with hand tightly clutched on her bag, asked in succession. The breaths of Hero began to become heavy, he's staring at the road intently as if filtering the ideas in his mind before speaking out."Yna...." he closed his eyes while decelerating, after three seconds, he finally opened his eyes and continued, "no one knows how did they die. About your second question, no one knows. And why? Again, no one knows""Then how did everyone found out that they died?""Their things are left bloody and scattered somewhere inside the campus""And? That's it?"
Between Then and Now Chapter 28 | Art of Yesterday
"It's been two months since the last time that we went here and it became so messy already" Hero said in his relaxed voice while looking around.Alyana furtively slipped her hand inside the bag, when she pulled it out, her phone was tightly held in it. She directly clicked on the gallery and ran to view the details of the videos and pictures, yes, it was exactly two months ago.Finally satisfied, she put the gadget back to the bag quietly.The church was almost in the heart of the forest, everything is still, not even the sound of the leaves scratching each other's edges can not be heard, just plain serenity. The fresh and cool ambient was comforting but robes the ability to bring back the memories of a happy couple separated by death and time.Alyana was now staring at the a

The cloud appears to be heavy, but, oddly, it had not bursted out in tears. They expected it to fall in just ten minutes so they hastened each step to reach the house where the old woman lives, however, it seems like natural events are in slow motion, thirty minutes had passed, still the same grayness, no rain."Hero?""Yes?""About our classmates-""What about them?""I'm sure investigations took place, what did they found out?""You want an honest answer?" he asked, his eyes are plastered on the crowning glory of the huge trees whilst holding Alyana's wrist, as always."Of course""Police of
Between Then and Now Chapter 30 | Locked Under the Floor
Alyana's legs felt heavy as she traversed her way inside the house, she decided to spend the rest of the day in her bed, the pendulum clock narrates that it's exactly 12:00 noon. As she climbed her vision began to blur and darken, raising higher, the old woman's image lingered in her head, and her voice kept hissing in her ears. Meanwhile, the cat was carried close to her chest. She put it down the moment that they reached the door.Before entering, her gaze was thrown in the direction of Rave's room, her sister's head was peeped, but she pretended not to notice it."Ava, what if you failed to pass an exam? Even just for once, what will you do?" Brylle asked, he gave up solving that one problem in their calculus, it's been thirty minutes but he comes up with the same answer, yet Vien keeps on saying that it was wrong.
