Glimpse of Death• The cold gushing of winds crashed on my skin. Bawat hampas nito ay mas lumalamig. Past 2 AM when I've decided to roam around the house. Kanina ko pa gustong matulog pero pilit na may bumabagabag sa'king isipan... I just don't know what is it. The mansion is big pero mas malaki pa rin ang amin. The whole house is styled in Victorian. Every step takes you back in that era. Kulang nalang pati suot ko ay magmumukha na'kong eleganteng sinaunang tao. Except, that I'm not that prim and classy. I live my life the way I want it, no dictation from others... Just my own rules and path to take. Nasa likod ako ng bahay, the sweet-scented candle filled my nose, the garden is in full bloom, reflecting the moon's light. Candles encircled the whole garden, siguro araw araw ito pinapalitan...and that takes a lot of time and money! Ang gastos. Yael said that there's no maids pero sino ang nagpapalit ng kandila? And to c

Glimpse of Death• I stared at Yael. No great sculpture could properly sculpt his face. It is beyond perfect, when they say no one is perfect, Yael is an exemption. An archangel gifted with golden physics, adored and surely bestowed with greatness. He is beyond imagination. Yael Zerachiel, an archangel thrown out of heaven. If you find your heart make sure to rip it and when that happen, I'll be the happiest 'cause I know you don't deserve to be here. You should fly and be free. Kung nasaan man ang puso mo sana mahanap mo na siya. Knowing that you and I experienced the same thing, being abandon. I wish you to be happy even if I'll be left alone, again. "stop staring Morana" I blinked. His awake! Pretending to sleep. "I was just looking on your side, napaka feelingero mo" "you would always find ways to lie" "Tsk, shut up Zerachiel. Ang pangit mo" "now you divert the topic on my handsome fa

Glimpse of Death•      A tight hug embraces me—fully. I'm still in my shock state. I looked at Yael para maghingi ng tulong, but he just shrugged and looked away. Ginawi ko naman ang tingin kay Ryder, my eyes are confused and seeking help, pero katulad kay Yael ay umiwas din ng tingin. Who's this girl? Mga walang hiyang lalaki.Medyo kinakabahan pa'ko, di ko naman close ang babaeng 'to. She must mistakenly think i'm someone else she knew. I heard a sob, nanlaki ang mata ko. Don't tell me she's crying? Ryder and Yael have their eyes fixed on me. Wala akong kaalam-alam nito. Her hug tightens. Mas lumakas ang hikbi. After a few minutes ay bumitaw na siya. I stared at her, concern and bothered. Nakayuko siya, pinupunasan ang luhang tumutulo. Her sob quiet down and when our eyes met, she smiled. Parang may nabara sa lalamunan ko. Kagaya ko ay maputi rin siya, but the difference is, she's su

Glimpse of Death•  Matapos kong ayusin ang paghahanda ng hapunan, agaran ko nang tinahak ang hagdan. Mag-isa lang ako sa bahay, dahil nang umuwi kami kanina ni Yael ay kinausap siya nila Ryder na samahan sa pag-alis.  Alas sais kami kanina nakauwi at dapit alas siyete na ngayon. Siguro ay hihhintayin ko nalang silang bumalik. Sa pagpasok ko sa kuwarto ay dumiretso na sa banyo. I should take a bath first, natuyuan nalang ako ng pawis mula sa paglalaro. Hindi naman ata sila magtatagal sa pupuntahan.  The cold water washed away the dirt and sweat in my body. My head is drench in memory. Tiningnan ko ang sarili sa salamin, I look straight in my eyes.  "Hideous..." I whispered. Masaya ako ngayon pero pano bukas? Anong mangyayari? The happy memories i reminisced earlier puffed in thin air. Sabagay sa tuwing masaya ka, nariyan agad ang kalungkutan upang yakapin ka.  When will I ever feel happy without thin

Glimpse of Death• With a glance, the boy waved his hand. Ang munting mukha ay nakangiting bumungad sa taas.  He drops a rope, signalling to me to hold it and trust him. Hindi siya nagsalita at tinango lang ang ulo.  Mahapdi man ang mga palad ay walang alinlangan ko itong pinulupot sa braso at mahigpit na kinapitan. I don't know if the boy can pull me, pero desperado na'ko na makaalis dito. Napakatagal ng hinayupak na si Yael. I don't know his whereabouts o baka naman nawala na iyon. Especially that the snake is clinging his body in my arms. Konti nalang ata at mapapatay ko si Yael sa kaba! I have no fear in heights nor goons, but a crawling reptile would probably be my death! Unti-unti akong lumutang, the snake clinging on me hiss. Shit! It seems alarm. I scream when it bit me, malakas kong hinila ang katawan nito at tinapon pababa! Thick blood run down in my arms. Maybe I angered it, his hiss became longer at tama nga ako! He called
