Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 16 - THE FAMILY FRIEND
“Did you contact your uncle?” Brenda Ferran, Blair’s mother asked.“Yes, mom. He’s on duty so he’ll probably be late for our dinner.”“Let him be. It’s work.” Simon Ferran said while driving their car to Gomez residence. Every two months, they arranged a family dinner with Gomez’s.“Your brother is such a workaholic. When does he plan to get married?” Brenda asked curiously.“When the crow turns white.” Simon smirked and Blair chuckled.“He’ll be alone forever.” Blair said.“And that’s what he chose.” Simon added.Gomez’s family was waiting for them at the front door of their house. “Good evening.” Rhiane Gomez, mother of Alexa, greeted them sweetly.“Where’s Simeon?” Alexander Gomez, the head of the Gomez’s family, asked them.“He’ll be late.” Simon answered.“Oh. What a busy man. Haha. Maybe, we should wait for him before dinner starts. It’s still early. Let’s go inside.” Alexander warmly welcomed them.“I’m sorry for that.”“Nah. It’s not a big deal. Besides, he’s part of your fam
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 17 - THE MICROORGANISM
A month later...It’s another school year for the students. One afternoon when classes were over, Trestan was walking in a hallway full of students exiting their classrooms. Trestan is one of those who huddle with students in different directions. He was in a hurry to go to the laboratory which was almost behind the school because his close professor called him to go there. Rarely do people go to that part because that building is quite old and it’s a bit creepy but Trestan is not afraid to go because he is often there after class. He looked around and checked if someone was tailing him. ‘Safe.’He entered the building and the door made a noise which seemed to be similar to those in horror movies. There is an underground passageway where the secret laboratory is located. Before entering the main laboratory, he needed his fingerprint to open the door made of steel. When he got inside, he saw the professor busy with what he was doing in an area surrounded by a glass wall. The walls
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 18 - THE LECTURE
Next day came and Trestan woke up early to cook breakfast. He found his father sleeping on their couch. It looks like he just arrived a while ago and did not reach the room to sleep there. Trestan returned to the second floor to get a blanket in his father’s room then put it on his father who sleeps soundly and snores a little.He remembers how their last conversation ended. He sighed and felt guilty while looking at his dad, exhausted from work.He brewed coffee in the coffee maker, turned on the radio, listened to music, and daily news in San Lorenzo. He made a cheese sandwich and cooked fried rice.“Good molning Kuya.” Cally greeted her brother before she sat on the dining chair, waiting for breakfast to be served.“Good morning.”They ate and prepared themselves to go to school. “Dad, we’re leaving. Your breakfast is on the dining table.”“Hmm... Take care.”“Bye, daddy!” Cally hugged her father before they left.Trestan accompanied his little sister to her classroom before he pr
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 19 - THE PROFESSOR
‘She’s not familiar to me. A new professor? Or maybe, I just don’t really care about those people around me so I don’t notice her? Probably. ’She seemed to be burdened by the boxes, and Trestan couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, Is it heavy for you? You can give me the other box so you don’t have too much trouble lifting that.”“It looks like you’ve changed. You talk a lot.” The female professor mumbled.“What?”“Nothing. Don’t worry. I can manage.” She smiled sweetly.“Hey, Professor De Vega! Let me help you.” Aquiro suddenly appears and gets the box from the lady professor. “Aquiro, I thought you had a class?”“I just finished our basketball practice, Miss. Don’t worry, I can easily make an excuse.” She grinned and moved his eyebrows up and down.“Tsk. You’re just avoiding Ms.Valdez’s lecture today, don’t you?” Aquiro laughed at the lady professor.“Why should I, Prof.? I’m her favorite student.” He boasted, making the professor laugh. “Oh Trestan? You cut?” He asked after noticing his
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 20 - THE ABANDONED HOUSE
In a dark forest of San Lorenzo which is part of their mountains, no one tried to enter because it was believed that once you enter, you couldn’t get out alive. But that was just a myth, a story from the elders of San Lorenzo. The sound of crickets, crows, and the rustling of various species found in the forest is often heard.In the middle of the night in the dark forest, the dry leaves and branches create noise due to the feet stepping on it. “Boss.”“Are you stupid?” The man called ‘Boss’ said angrily. “So simple but you didn’t do it well and you even left evidence.”“I didn’t know there was a guard inside. But I’m confused. Why is that Ferran guarding the b*tch?”“That Ferran messed up with the wrong person.” The Boss said who seems to have a dark plan. “Go ahead and leave.”When the man turned his back, the Boss took out the hidden pistol under his coat then pointed it to the man he was talking to earlier. He pulled the trigger and the sound of the gun became a noise in the mid
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 21 - THE SAFE PLACE
***“Your life is in danger.” The voice echoed.Ferran is in the dark place again where no one has seen around. It was as if he had trouble breathing and the surroundings were shrinking.“You are not careful. Think before you act.”He almost lost his breath.“It’s not yet your time. Be still.”***He woke up in a dark room made of bamboo and the surroundings were a bit dark but he could see a dim light from the opening of the adjacent bamboo. He heard voices in the distance but did not know where it was. From lying down on the bed made of bamboo, he tried to get up but the pain from his side made him fall on the bed. He noticed someone slightly opened the door and looked at him. It alerted him, and felt anxious that his life might be in danger again. He has not fully recovered from the incident that happened to him, so he doesn’t know if he could protect himself in that state.He sighed in relief when he saw that It was just a little girl with a blindfold on her left eye. When she s
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 22 - THE FREE RIDE
Within two days, Ferran learned a lot about life in the forest and he also asked about the medicinal plants in their house. Henry explained to him that Tata Carpio, the old man who was furious with the policemen and authorities for unknown reasons, likes to collect herbs that are effective in various diseases. Henry also said that even though he was angry with him because he was a policeman, he still treated him.And after two days, he bid his goodbye to the people who treated him well. Hailey still did not want to let him go but he had to go back to town. People might be looking for him especially since he’s out of reach for two weeks.“You’ll come back, right?” Hailey asked while her tears were running down her cheek. In that little span of time, the little kid became very close to Ferran to the point that she doesn’t want to let him go.“Of course. I’ll visit if I have time.” Ferran assured her.“Bye-bye.” Hailey waved her little hand while Ferran was leaving the mountain.When he
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 23 - THE POLICE STATION
“Let’s go to the station.”“What? No! You’re staying here until you recover.” Rouvie stopped him but he’s so hard-headed.“I’m fine. Let’s go.” He entered his bedroom and when he came out, he was wearing his police uniform.Rouvie heavily sighed, did nothing but follow, and did not dispute his friend’s stubbornness. Even before, Simeon was so stubborn and there was really nothing he could do about that.When they arrived at the station. Everyone was shocked every time they saw Ferran passing in front of them. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.“It’s true.”“He’s alive.”“He’s truly a cat with nine lives.”“Nothing’s new.”“Welcome back Ferran!” Someone shouted but he just nodded.“Nothing changed.”“Still arrogant.”He proceeded to the Chief’s office, knocked three times, and heard the word ‘come in.’ He twisted the doorknob and entered the office. He saw the Chief who’s talking to his telephone and when the Chief saw him in front, he froze but immediately recovered.“So it’
