Synopsis: She's the girl who wants to die, or so at least that's what she says. Suicide plans, suicide attempts, bruises, blades, and everything you could think about ending your life. And then he came all of a sudden. An intruder she never wanted. With the twist of fate and lots of uncanny encounters, they joined together to travel the Disney Republic. Slowly knowing each other, uncovering the truths and lies, the reason behind all of these interactions. Will it be a reason for her to keep on living or just a way for her to plan the best suicide ever? Preview: The moon is in its full phase, it gives a light glimmer to the lake, reflecting the tranquil water. There are no stars as there are a bunch of clouds hiding them behind. “You can’t sleep?” Chris just suddenly came out of nowhere. He always came out of nowhere anyway, so it isn’t a new thing. I held both of my hands on my chest to calm myself, “you’re here.” I cannot even speak straight. “Where else would I be,” jus
It was a boring day. Well, it was and it has been like this since no one knows when. Waking up every day for the reason that I want to die, going to work for some ironic reason—for my daily living. Magastos kasi mag-isip kung paano mamatay. And going back to my place trying to kill myself. Trying. Like, right now. I busied myself finding a nice rope. I spent the whole day at different stores, buying what I needed. Yes, today I am planning to hang myself. Bigti. I am really hoping to succeed with this one because my last three attempts all failed. At first, I bought lots of medicine, grabbing every box I’ve seen at the drugstore. I didn't bother to read the names and so it happens that those meds were multivitamins. I can still remember the smile of the girl at the cashier as she punched the ten boxes of multivitamins with different brands. I almost rolled my eyes on her, but I didn't. It was my stupidity so I should be mad at myself. And it was another stupidity to die from a m
I stormed all the way through my bathroom leaving the weirdo who was making himself busy, looking around. I roamed my eyes through every corner of my bathroom, the rope was missing. I couldn't find it anywhere. I even opened the mini cabinet attached to the wall beside the small mirror. Wala. It was gone. Naglaho na parang bula. So, he wasn’t bluffing when he said that he did not see any rope. When I came back to my room, he was still there. “I believe I already told you to leave, haven’t I?” He just smirked at me. “Look, masyado na akong naging mabait sa’yo. Just leave or else I’ll call a police!” His smirk faded, he walked towards me so I took a step backwards. “I believe I said that I would answer all of your questions. I am a man of my word, miss?” I raised a brow. “What? Magbibigayan na tayo ng pangalan ngayon?” And then what will be next, he’ll ask for my number so that he can contact me in case he needs someone to help him. Heck, no! “I’m Chris.” He said, neglecting the thin
Patricia dragged me out of the coffee shop as soon as we closed it. Biglaan niyang naisip na mag-bonding kami sa bahay niya, dress up, eat, talk, and watch some movies—the things that we used to do. Memories of it came back rushing through my mind. Those were the happiest days that I will treasure until I die. Those were the days of young adulthood—chasing our dreams, making the most out of every day, getting wasted, coming home late but sober. Patricia and I were partners in crime even when we were still at Ariel. “You’re spacing out!” She blurted, making a sudden brake at the stop light. I shrugged and pressed the radio playing a random station. She seemed irritated but she did not say anything. We entered Jacques subdivision in complete silence. Patricia did not wanna ruin the mood even more so she was cheering me up. She told me what happened about her trip at Merida City and told me about a guy she’s been eyeing for two weeks now. I tried my best to give her my full attention and
Have you ever felt like living is a crime? Like every breath has to cost each part of your body, and now that you’re twenty-four, there’s no more of you that you could give off. Ubos na. Now you’re breathing illegally. And you could not contain the guilt of knowing that there is no more of you. Chris took me back to my apartment, he did not say anything. He did not ask what was happening. He just looked at me and said, “ingat.” And that’s a good thing. As he believes that we would meet again soon, I believe in it as well. May utang ako na kailangang bayaran sa kaniya, I need to return the favor to him. So I’ll be leaving in peace. I wish that our final meeting would happen soon – that my death would come soon. I don’t want to went inside my apartment pero masyado na akong nahihiya kay Chris at naiinis sa sarili ko. That short stop-by at the convenience store was enough for me to at least breathe and be calmed. I got straight to bed and slept the first time my back hit the mattress.
My heart was pounding as I approached the coffee shop. This was our dream—Pat and I. Open a café, cater different types of people that would want to enjoy the smell of coffee in a cozy place where they could work, talk, and have fun. Sinalubong ako ni Cristine, “whoa! Hindi ka late, himala ‘yon!” I rolled my eyes at her, “Nandiyan na si Patricia?” She nodded, pointing to the office’s door. I breathed in. Breathed out. I kept doing it until I had the courage to open the door. Patricia’s working with lots of paper in her desk, “Pat.” She looked up at me and smiled, “hey.” She seemed a bit off, I wonder if she has an idea of what I’m about to do. I sat in front of her and handed her the resignation letter. It’s funny tho. Letters are not really necessary, I just wanna be formal with her. “You, sure? We’ve talked about this a lot of times! And then what, you’re gonna leave this place? And then…” She lost it, crying hard, smudging the papers. “Gosh! Today you are cutting your wrist, a
I can still remember the first time Pat saw all the marks and wounds at my wrists. All those subsided and fresh wounds all over my arms and wrists, I wonder what her reaction would be if she’ll look closely at my waists and legs. Or if she knew those three suicide attempts. Hindi ko na din maalala kung naka-ilang payo na din ba siya sa’kin na pumunta sa therapist, even booked me one dahil sa hindi ko siya sinusunod. Therapists would just talk to me, probably make me plant, take care of pets, write, paint, and so on that they usually advise. At alam kong hindi iyon ang kailangan ko. I feel like tearing up. Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero naiiyak ako. I was sure about dying that day! But he intervenes. Hindi ako nagsalita, wala naman akong sasabihin. If I would just blame him again, it would be nonsense. What’s done is done. Like, this is not the first time that my death was postponed. Ha! Postponed my ass. “It was just a hunch at first, I’ve confirmed it at the bridge.” He stopped,
