Escaping From Reality 소설 & 이야기

Tila umiikot ang mundo ko. Flashbacks came rushing—childhood panic, the suffocating memory of being trapped inside an elevator at a mall. The terrified cries of a younger me echoed in my mind, looping with the present until I couldn’t tell where memory ended and reality began. Every nerve screamed. Every breath scraped my throat raw. The elevator shuddered violently. I gasped, clutching the wall so hard my knuckles ached. My tears flowed again, heavier now, dripping onto my trembling hands.

Mabilis ko naman siyang tinulak paalis sa kandungan ko at walang sabi-sabing binigyan ng napakalupet na upper cut sa panga ang lalaki. Dali-dali akong tumayo at kumiripas naman ng takbo habang ang kawawang Mr. Cervantes ay sapo-sapo and ilong na dumurugo. Napahawak ako sa sarili kong dibdib. It's beating so fast. Pakiramdam ko ay puputok na ito in any minute. Lumingon ako sa shop. Two East Boutique Pumara ako ng taxi at saka sumakay rito. What the hell just happened?!

Sambit ng Ama nito sa kanya, at pinanggigilan ang pisngi nito. Napangiti na lang ako sa aking nakikita. This is it. This is the time, when the new chapter of my life will begin. With the man I was running away from then. But no matter what I do to escape, destiny still brings us together. Because I'd realized, he was destined to save and protect me from darkness. -Erebusyuri ....THE END....

Shit! Sobrang lalim pa naman ng nalangoy ko and I couldn't held my breath anymore. My both hands and arms become weakened. If this is the only way to escape my painful reality then I will not fight. Maybe this is the only way God gave me. Until I couldn't hold it anymore. I let my body go down to the surge. Kung ngayon man ako mamamatay ay mamamatay akong mapayapa sa ilalim ng katubigan. At least this is peaceful.

"Maybe I am asking the wrong question. How did we enter this realm?" Bigla akong napasabunot sa ulo nang mapagtanto na ang lahat. Everything here is just simple. It's his dark place. It's his alternate universe. It means he is the one led us here. Therefore, the means to escape would likely be connected to the means that us got stuck in the first place. "You are not normal! You have powers!" I shouted. Napatigil naman siya sa paglalakad. Dahan-dahan akong lumapit.

He did it slowly at first but eventually he did it faster and faster. All I can do is to moan his name and cried. We both explode after getting into the climax. Napapikit ako. He pulled out his thing, my head fell on his shoulder. The world around us disappeared, leaving only the heat of the moment and the quiet chaos building inside me. For a moment, I forgot where I was. Forgot who I was supposed to be. Forgot everything. Until the sound of footsteps echoed faintly through the hallway. Reality hit all at once.

Tama ang sinabi ni Fellin, hindi pwedeng lagi na lang akong nagtatago dahil kailanman ay hindi ko matatakasan ang realidad. Out fate is already decided simula pa lang nang maisilang kami. Hindi kami ang magdedesisyon sa gusto naming gawin dahil ito ang mundo namin. No matter how hard we try to escape our reality, babalik at babalik pa rin kami sa realidad, and no one can change that fact.

Habang nagkakagulo sa saya ang buong sala dahil sa pag-ispoiled ng Donya kay Thalie, tahimik na lumabas si Max patungo sa malawak na library room ng penthouse. Ramdam niya ang isang napakabigat na lungkot na unt-unting lumalamon sa kanyang pagkatao. Dahil sa labis na kalungkutan at sakit na dulot ng lason na pag-ibig niya kay Thalie, naisip nitong umalis muna ng bansa upang tuluyang makalimot at bigyan ng kapayapan ang sariling puso.

Napangiti ako ng tipid. Buong buhay ko ay hindi ko pa ito nararanasan. I always wanted to isolate myself. I dream of leaving and never return home, to escape reality. Now that my dream really did come true, maybe this is the right time to stand with what I really want. Can I just savour the moments of staying here in Gokayama before I go back to reality? “Huwag mo sabihing ayaw mo na umuwi?” nakakunot ang noo niyang tanong. Naiangat ko ang tingin ko sa kanya. Maging siya ay naguguluhan pero ngumiti lamang ako.

napalabi ako. “Nu-uh! Escaping from reality wouldn't help you at all, sister. Kahit pumunta ka pa sa pinakadulo ng mundo, hindi mo magagawang mag-move on dahil alam mo sa sarili mo na nasa taong iyon ang puso mo. Believe me, Cordie, I've been there and pathetically done that, and you know the rest.” “Bakit kaya ang drama ng buhay natin, 'no?”
