One Summer Night Novels & Stories

Kung darating man ang panahon na sasabihin na niya ang buong katotohanan dito, sana ay matanggap siya nito at hayaang magpaka-ina kay Atlas. Unti-unting lumalim ang gabi. Naging mas malamig ang hangin at ang ingay ng alon ay tila naging isang mahinang uyayi. Hindi na nila namalayan kung kailan sila tumahimik. Kung kailan naubos ang laman ng kanilang mga baso. At kung ilang bote ng alak na ang nainom nilang dalawa. At kung kailan, unti-unting bumigat ang kanilang mga talukap. Magkatabi silang dalawa habang nakaupo sa kani-kanilang camping chair.

At sa kabila ng mga panganib na naghihintay sa kanilang pagbabalik, pareho nilang alam na handa silang harapin ang anumang bagyo—basta’t magkasama sila.

Osiris would look down at his son's sleeping form, his heart swelling with a mixture of exhaustion and gratitude. And in those moments, he couldn't help but marvel at the bond he and Summer had forged—the unbreakable connection that had carried them through heartaches, joys, and the unexpected twists of life. With the first light of night, Summer would arrive, her presence a welcome respite from the da
