Remember Loved Ones Novels & Stories

ani ni Arlo at dahan-dahan minulat ang mga mata niya tapos tiningnan ako. "Pinatay nila mom ko at lolo ko sa mismong harapan ko. Wala ko choice kung hindi magpanggap na nagkaamnesia para mabuhay. Magpatay malisya tuwing death anniversary ng mom ko at tuwing araw na iyon is sinasadya nila dalahin ako sa vacant room na may portrait ng mom ko sa excuse na even hindi ko maalala mom ko kailangan ko ipakita na nagdadalamhati ako."

“Why should I? Wala naman siguro akong kinalaman doon—“ “It’s your father, Aliyah. Remember, your mother’s death anniversary. Malapit na yun. And I hope… kasama ka na nila sa pagkakataong ito…” Tears immediately formed in the sides of my eyes. Ramdam na ramdam ko rin ang pagkatuyo ng lalamunan ko. Oo nga pala, bakit ko nakalimutan? Am I too busy minding my own business na nakakalimutan ko ang mga ganoong bagay? Shit, alam kong sa oras na makita ako ng pamilya ko ay sasabihin nilang wala akong kasalanan pero…

"Athena! No! Please! I'm begging you! Don't leave me! No!" Naririnig ko pa rin ang sigaw niya kahit hindi ko na maidilat ang mga mata. Nararamdaman ko pa rin ang mahigpit na yakap niya habang unti-unting nawawala ang aking diwa. Sometimes, it's not always a happy ending. Kahit gaano kalayo ang tinakbo namin ay siguro hanggang dito lang kami. I will treasure every moments with him. Hindi man kami hanggang sa huli, masaya ako na minsan ko siyang nakasama. I realized, we should value every second we have with our loved ones. Because in life, there are no replay and rewind, only flashbacks.

Napatingin ako dagat, niyakap ko ang mga tuhod ko and rested my chin in between of it. "For me, the memories that you created with the people you love was the most valuable in this world, kasi kapag nawala sila o tayo, may na-iwan tayo na babaonin nila hanggang sa pagtanda. Hindi ba yun ang mas importante?" I heard him chuckled and sighed.

If fate has it that I won't make it back, know that I'll be with you always, in your heart, in our memories, and in the love we shared. Yours always, Your wife, Brenda

I have nothing to do with him. Pagdating sa bahay ay nagpahinga na ako sa aking kwarto. Pinipilit 'kong kalimutan yung nangyari kagabi pero hindi talaga mawala sa isip ko. Ayoko namang sabihin kina Mommy at Daddy dahil panigurado akong mag-aalala pa ang mga yun and besides nailigtas naman ako ni Dave Arkiel.

Hindi niya matutukoy kung paano, ngunit may nakatagong kwento sa likod ng mga salitang iyon. Patuloy na nag-usap ang misteryosong tao at ang mga pulis, na nagbabalik ng mga ideya tungkol sa insidente. Si Mike ay nawawala sa kanyang sariling mga iniisip, nahulog sa isang madilim na lugar ng kanyang isipan, at nagsimula nang magduda sa mga pagkakakilanlan ng mga taong naroroon. "Please, Mike," sabi ng misteryosong tao. "I just want you to know that I’ve been watching everything. Everything."

Kailangan kong tatagan ang loob ko. Napuno ng iyakan ang buong paligid. Magang-maga na rin ang mga mata ko sa walang-tigil na pag-iyak. Hindi ko pa rin makakayang tanggapin na wala na sila. Iniwan nila ako. “Today, we gather to bid you farewell, to honor the beautiful souls you were. Though my heart is heavy, I want to celebrate the love and joy you brought into our lives.” I turn to the gathered mourners, my voice filled with conviction. “Let us remember Britney and my Dad not with tears of sorrow, but with smiles of gratitude for the time we had with them. They may be physically gone, but their spirit will forever live on within us.” I walked towards the casket, gently placing a bouquet be

"But why I can still recognize my family? My friends? My work? My company? But... but why I can't remember her?" Nahilamos ni Rhodly ang kanyang dalawang palad sa kanyang mukha.

"Maybe it's because, that person was the only one in your mind during the accident. You've been thinking about her before and during the accident happened."

Luxury sat back down on her bed, the weight of reality pressing heavily on her shoulders. As she looked around her room, every corner held a memory of Lilian, a reminder of what she had lost. The laughter they used to share, the secrets whispered late at night, the bond of sisterhood that once seemed unbreakable—all of it was now just a distant echo. She had tried so hard to hold onto those memories, to keep Lilian alive in her heart, but the pain of her absence was like a never-ending ache.
