Reminiscing Quotes Novels & Stories

Tiningnan ko naman si Archer na ang seryoso lang na inaayos ang strap ng bagpack niya. "Sige na, baka ma-late pa kayo ng kapatid mo," nakangiti kong sabi. Tiningnan naman niya ako ng seryoso. "Mom..." "Hmm?" hinanda ko na ang sarili ko para sa madugo niyang pananalita. "Can you still remember what I told you about the 'Forgive and Forget' quote line?" tanong niya at napaisip naman agad ako. "Ah, oo. What's with it?" tanong ko.

Those places felt surreal. “I wonder what will happen after this,” wika niya na siyang bumasag sa kanilang katahimikan. “What do you mean?” “You know, kapag nakaalala na ako.” Tipid siyang ngumiti sa kawalan. “I’m always wondering about the memories I lost. Kasi pakiramdam ko ay may nakalimutan akong sobrang mahalaga sa ‘kin. Something is forgotten that I know once I’ll remember, I will regret it my whole life.”

Nakatingin lang ako sa pintuan niya habang may inaalala. “I still don’t remember what happened last last night,” nakangusong saad ko kaya naman mahina itong tumawa. “Too bad for you.” Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. “Paano ba ako napunta sa kwarto mo? Can you help me recall it? Maybe answering my questions will do.” Kumibit-balikat ito. “Why recall it when we can do it again?” Namilog ang mata ko. “Gago ka ba?!”

Ano bang feeling to. and the a flash back comes to my mind. -------------------To be continued 🤣

It’s almost like we’re just reminiscing about the past. It’s not an issue to me at all. Those places we go to are usually quiet so I have no problems with it. The silence is not making the atmosphere awkward at all. Instead, we get busy reminiscing that we don’t even talk to each other anymore. She would usually speak just to remind me that in that place, we did something stupid there, we did something memorable here and stuffs. I just listen to her because all of the things she’s mentioning are still intact in my head. I can remember it well as if it just happened yesterday. I would hear her laugh softly every time. And that’s making my heart melt.

"Remember when Old ones died and new were born And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged, We came together, fell apart..." She paused. I hear her gasped. "....and broke each other's hearts Remember when..." She then started sobbing. Pero patuloy niya pa ring kinakanta. It seems like she's remembering all her past with Papa, it felt like she's reminiscing it all. "Remember when We said....when we turned gray When the children grow up and move away

Bahagya siyang ngumiti. "Basta huwag lang ulit maalat." banggit nya saka ngumisi. "Hindi mo pa rin nakakalimutan iyon?" Napailing ako habang natatawa. "One memorable experience." banggit nya sabay parang iginuhit sa hangin ang mga kamay nya sa pagkakasabing 'one memorable.' "One time lang 'yon." depensa ko. "Pero natatandaan ko." Hindi ko napigilang matawa dahil may masasabi talaga sya.

Palabas na ako ng HQ nang marinig ko siyang mahinang bumulong. "You were forgetting me while I'm trying to remember you."

I was delighted that the weather cooperated today because I couldn’t imagine visiting them on a rainy day. “Well… we can distinguish what is right and wrong when we have memories. We can recall where we made mistakes and learn from them,” Marcus stated that brought me back to reality. He paused for a second, I saw his lips tremble when he attempted to talk again. “We can't remember everything, but the ones that evoke strong emotions are the ones that stay with us the longest.” I nodded. “I think so, too…”

Pagkatapos ay ibinalik niya ang tingin sa labas at paulit-ulit na bumuga ng hangin. Ramdam niya ang malamig na hangin na dumampi sa pisngi niya. "Hindi ba sabi mo you wanted to forget? Kaya nga nagpunta ka rito sa Maine. But how can you forget if you keep reminding yourself sa mga nangyari?"
