My best friend's brother and I have been dating for half a year, and she has no clue. My best friend drags me out on Christmas for a singles' night out. Unexpectedly, we see her brother, Chris Lambert, holding hands and kissing a girl under the fireworks. "Damn, Chris finally got the school belle!" She looks thrilled and pulls me forward to say hi. Chris awkwardly rubs his nose and introduces me to his girlfriend, "This is my sister, and the one beside her is… sort of like my sister too." I smile silently. We have held hands and kissed, yet now, I am just sort of like his sister.

The day after my best friend, Sarah Blunt married Patrick, the second son of the Brosnan family, I too became a bride and wed Matthew, his older brother. She married a swimming champion, and I, the rock-climbing coach. We thought we had our futures all figured out. Then, something happened that summer. The four of us planned a getaway but Matthew and Patrick’s baby sister, Megan joined us and our peaceful trip became a crowded affair.  While rock climbing, disaster struck—the rope snapped, and all five of us plummeted into the river below. The brothers rushed frantically to save Megan, leaving Sarah and me at the mercy of the river’s current, battered and tossed like driftwood. By the time the rescue team pulled us from the water, we were bruised, scraped, and utterly spent. In the hospital, Megan and I received devastating news that would change everything.  “You’ve been pregnant for 40 days, Ma’am. How could you put yourself in such a risky situation? Your baby survived, but your friend lost hers.” Shaken, I called Matthew to tell him about the pregnancy. His anger cut through the line. “You’re angry that I went to Megs first and now you’re trying to fool me with a fake pregnancy? She’s my sister—it’s my duty to protect her!” Sarah faced her own storm. Patrick practically scoffed at her grief. “Miscarriage? Do you expect me to believe that? The doctors said you only had a 30% chance of conceiving. I can’t stand women who create drama out of nothing.” Both calls ended abruptly, leaving us stunned as we stared at each other in the sterile light of the hospital room. In that shared silence, we made our decision—we would leave these men behind and start anew, launching a business together. But when the brothers received our divorce papers, they showed up at my door in the middle of a storm, kneeling in the pouring rain, crying through the night for a second chance.

Sa inis ni Aura Beatriz Diaz, nakuha niyang makipag-usap sa kaklase at kapitbahay niyang iniiwasan ng lahat. Sa ngalan ng plus points, pinilit niya si Shintaro Terrano na magpalit sila ng points sapagkat ito ang dahilan kung bakit siya na-late sa klase. “Sino naman ang nagsasabi sa iyong ayaw ko ng points? Pasensiya ka na, ‘di ko magagawa iyan...” Sagot ni Shintaro sa kanya. “Pero may ibang paraan ako para makakuha ka nito...” Namangha niya nang namalayan niyang kaya naman palang makipag-usap nito sa mga tao. “Babaguhin natin ang nakaraan.” Sinabi pa nito. Napatigil siya nang hawakan nito ang kamay niya at literal na umikot ang kanyang mundo. Pumikit siya ng mariin at noong sa tingin niya'y tumigil na ang pag-ikot. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya sa nakita. Wala na sila sa paaralan. Nasa waiting shed na sila kung saan sila nag-agawan ng pwesto sa jeep kanina. “P-Paano mo nagawa ito? I-Isa ka bang w-wizard? G-Guardian? Guardian angel?!” Halos pasigaw na tanong niya. Mababaliw na siya. Paano ito nagawa ng isang Shintaro Terrano? Ano nga ba si Shintaro Terrano? Umangat ang gilid ng labi nito. “Akala ko ba matalino ang isang Aura Beatriz Cortes Diaz? Bakit hindi mo napagtagping maaaring isa akong manglalakbay sa kahapon, kasalukuyan at hinaharap… Oo, manlalakbay ako. Kaya kong baguhin ang nangyari na. Itong kaharap mo ngayon ang totoong Shintaro. Ikaw lang ang nakakaalam ng totoong Shintaro Terrano… Ikaw lang ang hahayaan kong makaalam.”
