Before It's Too Late Novels & Stories

Tapos na ang transaction, kumpleto na ang bayad mo, maghiwalay na tayo…” Hindi na umimik si Noah at nagsimulang magmaneho. Isang english song ang tumugtog sa kotse: "I heard you got married one night, without a smile. I really can't believe I'm the culprit. I probably didn't know how to be considerate back then. My youthful impulsiveness ruined you. The pain of being hurt is unpredictable and even more tragic. How can someone with such a kind heart live a long life?" I want to say sorry to you. My conscience is guilty. I made a careless mistake that ruined someone's life...

Kung ganoon nga, ibig sabihin ay may taong nakakita sa mga nangyari kay Mamita bago siya namatay. Muli kong tiningnan ang huling mensahe sa phone. May isa pang linya na hindi ko napansin kanina. “Come tomorrow morning.” Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa phone habang binabasa ang huling bahagi ng mensahe. “Before Adrian Vale finds out you know.”

Hindi ito umimik kaya napailing ako. "But it's too late Eros." Mahinang sambit ko na may kasamang diin kaya nakita kong bumakas ang ngiting may kasamang pait sa mga labi nito bago ito nagsalita that made me shock upon hearing.

May suspense sa mga ngiti ni Harlene, ang mga mata niya'y namamasyal sa paligid. "When 12 midnight came and the music fades away, the man or woman in front of you will gonna be your destiny. So exciting, right?" napapatili pa ito sa harapan, malawak ang ngiti niya habang kinukumbinsi ang mga naroon sa huling pasabog na ihinanda nila. "Let's start this, everyone. Good luck and have fun!"

Sumunod na din silang tatlo. "It's getting late. We have to go," he continued. . C.M. LOUDEN

I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong" Tumayo na siya at napapahagulgol siya sa gitna ng kaniyang pagkanta. "What are you thinking of? What are you thinking of? What are you thinking of? What are you thinking of? I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you I know you were right believing for so long I'm all out of love, what am I without you? I can't be too late, I know I was so wrong I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you I know you were right believing for so long I'm all out of love, what am I without you?

I caressed Leana’s tombstone and smiled weakly. “I love you too…” I didn’t have the chance to respond to her I love you that night so I’ll do it now. And the pain worsened at the thought that I was too late. She didn’t even hear it. It pains me that I loved her too late. I only loved her when I won’t be able to speak to her anymore. I only loved her when I won’t be hearing her voice ever again. I only loved her when I won’t be able to court her. I only loved her when it was too impossible for us to be together. It was too late because she was gone. I wish I had told her about my feelings before that day happened.

Hihintayin kita. Hanggang sa muli mahal ko. I love you even if, it's too late. I love you 'till the end of my life.

At hanggang ngayon, pinaniniwalaan ko pa ring totoo lahat 'yon. Pero siguro... nakalimutan ko lang na may expiration pala ang mga iyon. Na sobrang bata ko pa para magpaniwala sa mga 'yon. Totoo pero may expiration— puwedeng magbago, mabawasan at ang pinakamasaklap, puwedeng mawala. At... nasa pinakamalala na yata kami ngayon. "Goodbye."

Kaso ang bayaw naman niya ang muling nagsalita. "Bayaw, wala na akong masabi dahil nasabi na lahat ng asawa ko. Kung mayroon man ay nais kitang paalalahanang umaandar ang orasan. Maganda ang panahon ngayon pero hindi natin alam kung ano ang mangyayari bukas. Sa madaling salita ay think a million times before it's too late," anito.
