Novel & Cerita After We Collided

At nang matapos ang usapan, agad na inanunsyo ang unang laban. Magkakapareha sina Marikit at Professor Kent. Samantala, sa kabilang panig naman ay sina Mikael at Celine. Sa isang iglap ay bahagyang natahimik ang paligid. Maging sina Danica at Enzo ay napatingin sa isa't isa. Hindi nila alam kung aksidente lang iyon o sadyang malas ang timing. "Coin toss tayo."

I asked. “This is where… our car accidentally crashed that day.” “What?” Hindi ako makapaniwalang napatingin sa kaniya. Gustuhin ko mang bumaba pero nanghihina ako. It was as if my body was believing the words he just said as I felt the chills down my spine. “As we ran away from your father that day, we were fighting inside the car and…” he gulped “...crashed.”

She couldn’t stop shaking — couldn’t comprehend what she’d just witnessed. This man wasn’t just cruel. He was the devil the world forgot to fear. ............. Hours later, the ship was loaded and the deal sealed. Hades’ men dispersed, laughter and smoke filling the night air. Nina sat on a crate near the water, arms wrapped tightly around herself. The reflection of the moon trembled in the waves. She felt sick. Dirty. Trapped. When Hades finally approached, she didn’t look up. “Let’s go,” he said.

Adrian wiped blood from his mouth. Then laughed. Actually laughed. "You look worse than I expected." Julian's eyes became lethal. "And you look exactly how I expected." Another collision. Another explosion of violence. I ran forward. Without thinking. Without planning. Just instinct. I shoved myself between them. The movement happened so suddenly that both froze. For one precious second. Silence. Breathing. Rain. Thunder. Everything stopped. I looked at Adrian. Then Julian. Then Adrian again. My chest hurt. Because I understood something neither of them wanted to hear.

A violent wave of liquid fire exploded deep inside my lower core, followed closely by the heavy, shuddering release of his own body that left us both gasping for air against each other's chest. Hingal na hingal kaming napasandal sa luxury seats pagkatapos, ang aming mga hininga ay unt-unting kumakalma habang bumabagal ang takbo ng sasakyan at hudyat na malapit na kami sa exit ng tollway.

HANGGANG SA MULI HASH. PASADO alas-sais na ng gabi nang matapos kaming mag-usap. Narito kami at naglalakad papalabas ng eskwelahan. Napasarap kasi ang pag-uusap namin at hindi na namin namalayan na gabi na pala. Nakangiting naglalakad si Athena habang magkaholding hands pa din ang aming kamay. Parang ayaw ko na siyang bitawan at nagdadalawang isip kung itutuloy ko pa ba o hindi?

Naalimpungatan nalang ako sa kalagitnaan ng byahe namin ng marahas na tapakan ni enzo ang break ng sasakyan dahilan para mauntog ako sa biglaang pag preno niya! "Oh shit! You okay?" Tanong niya ng makabawi sa pag kabigla. "Aw! It's okay... Anong nangyari?" Tanong ko habang pupungas pungas pa dahil sa antok. "I don't know... I bumped into this car...nag overtake siya at bigla nalang huminto sa harap natin," sagot niya na pinapahid ang kaunting dugo na nakuha niya ng mauntog rin siya sa manibela.

Hindi rin ito nagsalita, tumango lamang siya habang ang tingin ay nasa akin. Napapikit ako nang nanuot sa aking ilong ang pamilyar na amoy ng sasakyan. Namiss ko ang amoy na ito. Ang huling sakay ko rito ay yung bago naghiwalay si Claw at Nicole. Ayun din ang araw na naaksidente kami ni Claw.

“Huwag ka nang tumanggi, alam kong wala ka pang kinakain ngayong araw maliban sa tinapay na binigay ni Aling Mari sa ‘tin” Tama siya pero hindi ako sumagot. Ayokong kaawaan niya ako. Nawala ang atensyon ko sa daan nang may pumaradang itim na van sa gilid namin. Dahil naglalakad kami sa gilid ng daan, lumingon ako at hinarap iyon, hinihintay na umalis upang makatawid kami. Bumukas iyon at tatlong naka itim na bonet mask ang lumabas ng sasakyan.

Niyakap ko ang sarili habang taimtim na pinanood ang paghahalo ng kulay kahel at itim na kalangitan. My eyes roamed around and darted on a huge narra tree not from here. Halos mabuwal ako sa kinatatayuan nang mapansin ang dalawang imahe ng tao sa ilalim noon. There was a girl. . . and a guy. And they’re roughly kissing, touching every part of each other’s body in a rush.
