THREAD SIXTY-ONE: BETRAYAL

“WHAT are you doing, Shan? Don’t tell me you’re going to order something online again.” Meredith asked when they reached their room at BSU.“It’s not for me this time, okay? I’m just turning the favor because I realized that I haven’t given him a single one yet.”“As far as I remember, there’s still five months until his birthday.”“I know! But that’s not the case. He still gives me gifts even when there is no occasion. I just want to return what he does for me. Just help me, okay? So any idea what thing your cousin wants to have for a long time?”Meredith thinks for a moment. “Well, I'm not sure what kind of gift he wants, but if you're going to give him a gift, it should be something he can use all the time. But knowing my cousin, he will accept whatever you give him, wholeheartedly.”“Okay! Now I have an idea. Thanks, Mer! ”Until something stole Shanaia’s attention, a black no leaking anti-fog UV protection swimming goggles with free protection case worth thirty thousand pesos.WH

THREAD SIXTY-TWO: DROWNING INCIDENT

“LET’S GO?” John Person said when he picked up Shanaia in her room.Shanaia didn’t respond but she handed him her bag. After that, he clasped their hands but stopped when he noticed that missing in her hand.“Where’s your ring?” he asked.Shanaia looked at her ring finger. “Oh, maybe I left it in my bathroom when I took a shower this morning,” she excused.She actually meant not to wear it anymore. She put it back in its case. She feels like it’s useless.“Is that so?”“Hmm.” John Person didn’t ask any more questions until they reached his car in the BSU parking lot.NIGHT came and Shanaia just finished taking a shower. She was about to close the lampshade and ready to sleep when her eyes caught the goggles she had ordered for JP who arrived yesterday. She took it, removed the cover, and looked at it.She was debating with herself whether to give it to him or not. But in the end, the latter prevails so she put the goggles back in the box. She will just give it to him tomorrow.One ho

THREAD SIXTY-THREE: HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

“WHERE are we? Why did you bring me here? Who’s unit is this? Don’t tell me you’ve moved out of your condo?” Meredith asked Randall when he took her to an unfamiliar condo.But Meredith’s guess was wrong. That unit is the place where Barbara and Clayton’s dark past happened.“Don’t you remember this place?” he asked back.She looked throughout the entire condo. “Y-yeah. This place is quite familiar to me, but how did you know that this was the place?” He held both of her hands. “I told you before that I know the whole truth, didn't I?”She nodded. “However, I also told you that it doesn’t matter what happened in the past if we know it will only affect our marriage.”Randall closed his eyes. “But my conscience won’t let me sleep anymore! Especially you! As long as you dodge the truth, your dreams will keep hunting you. I also want this to end so we can start anew.” “I-I don’t understand what were you saying. Our relationship is getting stronger so why did you suddenly say it so that

THREAD SIXTY-FOUR: MISERABLE

AFTER their conversation at the Condo unit of Barbara and Clayton, Randall went home to the mansion with his family. They were currently resting in the living room when they suddenly heard a noise outside.“Walter! What is going on out there?” Don Warrick asked.“Mrs. Ebelte is currently causing a commotion outside. She wishes to speak with you.”They all exchanged glances..“Don Martial! Get the hell out of there! Face me!” Editha yelled at the top of her lungs.Randall appeared at the gate shortly.“Mom!”“Where’s your grandfather?! I want to talk to him!”The adults, including his father, rushed after him.“Relax, Mrs. Ebelte. And with all due respect, Ma’am, don't cause a commotion here,” Ranier remarked.Editha was about to approach General Marcial when Randall grabbed her arms.“You, ruthless man! How dare you manipulate our lives, huh?! You are not even satisfied with what you did before! My brother died because of you, and then you’re going to mess with my daughter too? Leave

THREAD SIXTY-FIVE: FLASH DRIVE

“SISTER MARIA!” Editha said as she hugged tightly the nun she considered her real mother. Sister Maria hugged her back. “Oh! Thank God! You’ve finally come! I have waited so long for your visit.” Editha let go of the hug. “I’m sorry, there’s so much happened in the past years. The nun smiled as she looked next at Meredith. “Is she your daughter?” Editha nodded and introduced her only child. “Hi, Sister Maria. Glad to see you,” Meredith said as she took Sister Maria’s right hand and gently struck it to her forehead as a show of respect of every young Filipino for the elderly.” “It was nice to finally meet you, Meredith. You grew up beautifully. You look exactly like your mother,” she complimented. She looked at her mother for a moment then thanked her. “Let’s go inside. I’m sure the other nuns would be pleased to meet you as well.” They were then escorted inside the orphanage. “Was it you, Mom?” Meredith inquired as Sister Maria gave her a photo of her mother when she was young

THREAD SIXTY-SIX: SERENADE

“MEREDITH?” Ranier was taken aback as Meredith and Editha entered their house. He couldn’t believe that he would see them so soon. He thought that it would be difficult for him to talk to them again. “Where is he?” Meredith asked, worriedly. “He’s inside his room.” Meredith was on her way to Randall's room when she became stunned and closed her eyes. Barbara’s soul appeared in her body once more. She opened her eyes after a few seconds and turned to face Ranier. “Brother! F-forgive me. It’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, the people around me wouldn’t have been hurt. I deeply regret being weak and selfish back then. Ranier hugged her back. “Shhh... It’s okay, Barb. I know how you feel. But, please, help and guide my son, your nephew, to be strong. Don’t let him take his own life. I was so damn hurt by losing you then that I can’t bear it if I lose my son as well.” She released herself from his embrace and nodded. “Don’t worry, brother. I will fix everything I was left behind.

THREAD FINALE: LOVE EACH OTHER FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE

“I’M SORRY, Randz, but I can’t marry you,” she replied and runaway.Even their friends, relatives, and guests were taken aback by Meredith’s response.“W-why can’t you marry me?”Meredith is deafeningly silent, unable to face him.“Answer me, please! Give me an acceptable reason why you can’t marry me!” Randall yelled, couldn’t accept the fact that he was rejected.Meredith took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears and face him. “Because you don’t really love me.” Meredith’s emotions were mixed as fear dominated her heart. It seems that her dream about the red thread that Randall cut in her dream came back to her vision.“Mer, that’s not true! I do love you! Can’t you feel it?!” Randall said as his tears escaped his eyes.She sobbed and shook her head. “Y-you’re only saying that because of Barbara and Clayton’s red thread that is connects us.”Her mother and Rebecca covered their mouths at what she said. Even their friends looked at each other, couldn’t believe that she had b
