It was so embarrassing! I was a total mess. It was too late before I realized what I have done. I just puked on someone.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." I looked at his shirt. Dammit!
I opened my bag to see if I have any tissue or handkerchief to wipe his shirt. I was so frustrated when I found nothing but my mobile phone. He opened the car's door beside me then get a piece of cloth and handed me a wet wipe."Uh, thank you." I hesitate to get the wipe. I heard him sighed then pulled me closer to him then wipe the edge of my lips. I stunned."You know, young lady. This place is not a good girl like you," he said in a very deep and husky voice. "I-I was with a friend." I stuttered. Why?!"Uh-huh." He continued to wipe my mouth.My eyes drifted to his shirt full of puke. Although my hands were shaking, I still managed to get the cloth and start cleaning him. He stopped what he is doing then I was so shocked when he removed his shirt. I immediately closed my eyes. I heard him chuckled."You are cute." He pinched my nose.Still, my eyes closed, I felt him grabbed my hand then guided the cloth to his broad chest. He was the one who controlled my hand to wipe his body. Oh my!I withdrew my hand then turn around. I heard him chuckled again then he opened his car again. There was a sudden silence before he grabbed one of my hands and made me faced him."Are you alright now?" His soft and manly voice filled my ears. His breath smells like mint and wine, I suddenly get conscious of how my breath smells, so I just nodded for a response."Where is your friend?" he asked again.Right! Where is that girl?! I gasped."What time is it?" I asked the guy.He took a glimpse at his wristwatch. "It's almost 1 am. You have a curfew?" "I need to go home; my father is going to kill me!" I said hysterically. Oh, please! Don't get me wrong, I am not overreacting. If you know my father, you can't blame me."I can give you a ride if you want?" I gazed at him. I shook my head. "I already bothered you so much. And thank you for saving me a while ago. I need to go." I was about to run when I heard him call my name."Get in my car, Aliyah! Please," he said.I slowly turned my head to him. "I never told you my name." He was starting to freak me out."I just know you for a very long time. You can trust me." He held my hand."How can I trust a man like you? I don't even know your name!" I spoke."As I said you can trust me. I am a well-known doctor here in town." He stepped on the lights revealing his handsome face.I looked away. No! I will not fall on that face! "Huh? Really? Do you think you can fool me easily?" I rolled my eyes."If I'm going to do something bad at you, I should have done that when you were not on yourself." He raised his hand and showed me his license card.Oh! He's truly a doctor!But before I can read his name, he immediately hides his card. "So, are you going to accept my offer, or your dad will ground you forever?" He smirked.I pouted my lips then rolled my eyes. "Fine, as if I have any choice. My friend was nowhere to be found--" I gasped. "Oh, my! I need to find Gail first!""Don't worry, I will take care of her when I come back here," he said then pulled me on the front seat of his car."Do you know Gail?" I asked him."Let's just say, I am a friend of her too. Wear your seatbelt, dear." I don't know how this man got me so easily. I never let myself go with a stranger. But now?! I'm getting weirder!I checked my phone and it's 12:47 am. My home was so far away from that bar. I glanced at this man who's smiling. He's probably crazy."Can you go a little bit faster?" At my peripheral vision, I see that he looked at me for a second then gave me what I wanted. It was a great relief when we got home just right in time."Oh no!" I exclaimed when I saw my angry father standing at the front door of our house.When he noticed me, he immediately went near me. His eyes drifted on the man that is now beside me. "Who is this man, Aliyah? Where the heck is Gail?!" He was furiously mad."Uhm…" I don't know what to say."Good morning, sir. I brought your daughter home, safely. Her friend is--" he looked at me, "- was fine as her."My father softened. I think he knows this guy. He nodded. "I'm so sorry for my daughter. I know she made a mess; she is. Thank you, Doctor Dizon."See? A Dizon? What?! A Dizon?!Is he somewhat connected to that crazy old woman? Before I could ask him some questions, my father dragged me, and that man left without saying a word."I will never let you go out again in the night. I know something happened, look at you! You looked like an addict!" my father said.But my brain was completely out of place. That drink consumed me and the fact that man was so familiar. Why the heck is he so familiar with me even though I don't know his name?!I cleaned myself, I also checked my phone and tried to call Gail. That b*tch.Unknown Number:Don't worry, you can sleep now. She's with her husband now.Who the hell is this?Me:Pardon, but who are you?Unknown Number:It's been only an hour and you totally forgot who saved you then you rewarded with smelly puke.My mouth formed a big 'O'. Are you kidding me? Me:How did you get my number? He didn't reply. I think I was awake the whole night. What is happening? Why is that guy keeps on surprising me? Is he some kind of spy? Is he spying on me?My head hurts so bad. How bad was that drink?"Too bad that you don't know what's going on," my grandfather suddenly spoke.Here we go again! "Grandpa, I'm not in the mood." I massage my forehead. I feel like it is breaking apart."He's waiting..." Huh? I looked at my grandpa who is now sleeping in his wheelchair. This old man was certainly a big...Who's waiting with whom?"Aliyah, someone is looking for you!" I heard my mother shouted from the living room. Probably it's Gail. I shrugged my shoulders then I didn't even bother to fix my hair. And I regretted that."Hello, Aliyah. Still, remember me?" The handsome Doctor Dizon is here!I quickly run to my room. For the second time, I am so embarrassed about myself!My mother entered my room with that angry face. "What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to greet your guest?""Mama, I don't want to greet my guest with a face like this!" I pointed to my oily face and my tangled hair. "I smelled like poop and why didn't you tell me it's Doctor Dizon who am I going to meet? I thought it's Gail."I get some decent clothes then cleaned myself. Thank goodness, this room has a built-in bathroom. I didn't know how I managed to get dressed and put some make-up on in just 20 minutes. I awkwardly smile at Doctor Dizon when I finally show up."Hello, are you alright now?" he asked while watching me sit beside him."Y-Yeah," I lied."Really? I brought some medicines for your headache and also, you left this in my car." He handed me a box of medicine and an old hairclip."This wasn't mine," I said then gave him back the hairclip."Are you sure?" He raised h
This family is probably gone crazy. Why are they blaming me for their family problem? How can I suppose to talk to a dead person and fix their problem that I was not involved from the start?"You are crazy. You are all crazy! I can't believe that I came here and just listened to your delusional story. Hah! I need to get out of here before I, too, go crazy." I turned my back on them, but the door suddenly opens, and another crazy woman entered the room."You need to make a promise, or we will never let you go. When you go back in time, in the year 1950, you need to make sure that my father will never fall in love with you. Please, change our fate and make Mama happy. That's the only she ever wanted," the lady said."Mama, calm down. Your heart," Dr. Dizon said then accompanied his mother. So, this is his mother."How can I make a promise if I don't understand anything? How can your father, grandfather, or your husband fell in love with me? He's dead alread
"Wait!" I shouted but the two men completely disappeared into the crowd.Where am I? This place is completely different from the street where I was hit by a car. And, where the hell is that car? How come I was safe and unharmed after that intense hit?I quickly checked myself. I was so shocked when I saw what I am wearing. An old-fashioned dress and shoes, I got a little bruised on my elbows but there's nothing more."Am I dreaming?" I slapped my cheek. It's just a dream. Yes, it is a dream and I need to wake up now! I closed my eyes and continue slapping myself.I opened my eyes and I'm still stuck in this place. The people were now looking at me with confusion. They are now probably thinking that I am crazy. Yes, my right state of mind will be gone if no one can explain to me what the heck is going on?!Am I really in 1950? The place looks old, and the people look so old too. What am I going to do?I walked around, there are so many people
It was a big relief for me when her father arrived before we step-out of the park."Come one, ladies. Time to go home. I just finished my work. Where are you heading to?" Mr. Dela Fuente asked."We are just wanted to greet Lieutenant Henry Dizon and his friend." Cristel looked in the direction where we saw the two men. Oh, thank goodness! They are gone!"You can meet them some other time. We really should get going before the sun finally sets."It was so nice to have a simple life that you just need to walk from work to your house. I'm just wondering right now if I were here, what happened to the time where I truly live?"I will just lend you some clothes to wear." Cristel suddenly spoke which made me come back to my senses."Thank you," I answered."No problem." She smiled."Do you have siblings, Cristel?" I asked."No, I am an only child and that's lonely. I only have my mother to listen to my worries in life. My
I was staring at her the whole time. She is my grandmother, no wonder why we easily trust each other. She was my grandmother, I thought I will never see her because she died before I was born. I met her this time."May I ask how old you are, Cristel?"She looked at me. "I am 25 years old, how about you?" She continues to prepare my bed."I am 27," I answered her."You are older than me, I have a big sister now." She smiled."Yeah," I awkwardly smiled.Then I remember my grandma's name is Caridad Sanchez. Wait? What?"Cristel, may I know your real name?" I asked her."My real name is Criselda Dela Fuente, Cristel is just my nickname because Criselda sounds old," she answered.Oh, then she is not my grandma? But she likes my grandpa, but what if that Alfredo wasn't my grandfather? Same name, I think."Why do you ask?" She drifted her eyes on me."I just want to know. By the way, I really want to thank you and
I never imagined that vintage style looks good on me. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror as I turned around. Two hours before the party starts and I am here in Cristel's room getting ready. Cristel starts to put some light make-up on my face."This red lipstick will surely suit your dress," she said then put a color on my lips. This is a vintage make-up for me, and it feels so heavy and uncomfortable."Can I take it off?" I shyly asked Cristel because obviously, she put a lot of effort into my make-up."Why? You don't like the look I made for you?" Her face became sad."No, I-I just don't feel comfortable. It feels so weird wearing make-up." I lied. Honestly, the lipstick is burning my lips and it smells really weird. What company produced this lipstick?"Okay, but just the lipstick. The glittered-eyeshadow really looks good on you." She smiled. She gave me a cloth to wipe my swollen lips. It hurts.After hours of preparing, I am alread
I tried to look for Sonia in the whole event place, but I can't recognize her mask and dress."There you are Aliyah!"Someone grabbed my wrist then pulled me into the middle of the crowd. He wrapped his arms around my waist and slowly we dance to the music."What are you doing?" I asked him."I want to dance with you, is that bad?" Henry said then turned me around."I already said no, so why are you still insisting?" I creased my forehead."Can you shut up your pretty mouth? We are already dancing; don't worry I will let you go when we finished. You are so hard to get." He laughed then pulled me closer to his body.This is not right! I should stop him right away!"I need to go, Lieutenant. I have something to do," I whispered to him."Are you trying to escape to me? What is it? Maybe I can help," he insisted.No! No! This isn't going to work."Please, I really need to go. Cristel is probably looking for me,
I was very confused that night. So, it means that it is not very hard for me to make Henry and Sonia fell in love with each other. Lucky me!"Why are you smiling?"I looked at Cristel who is lying on the bed because of her hangover. She really went overboard last night."My head hurts really bad! I'm going to die!" she exclaimed.I sighed. "That's what you get, little miss. Here, drink this." I handed her the cup of strong coffee that was prepared by her mother."I don't like coffee, but do you think it can really help me?" she asked.I nodded. I know that because I'm a nurse in my time. After Cristel fell asleep, I went back to my room and examine Sonia's diary. Why didn’t she tell me that she is a childhood friend of Henry? I gasped when I realized something... Was Sonia already has feelings for Henry? If that is the case, this mission will be really easy for me and I can go back to the present in no time.I flipped the page o
