Waves Of Memories Novels & Stories

It was the woman in my dreams, the woman in my memories. I tried to shake it off, pero siya parin ang nakikita ko. “Thad! Are you okay? Teka, bibili lang ako ng tubig.” Sabi niya tsaka tumakbo palayo para bumili ng tubig. Medyo nakakaramdam parin ako ng sakit ng ulo dahil sa sunod-sunod na mga memories na nagsisilabasan sa utak ko. Napatayo ako ng tuwid at matalim na tinitigan ang kahabahan ng karagatan, as I have a moment here, something bumped into my legs.

May nakalapag naman na hula ko ay pain reliever sa tabi ng tubig. Nasapo ko ang ulo ko. I don't feel a bit of a headache or anything odd with my body, I actually felt the opposite. Masarap ang gising ko. I tightly shut my eyes as waves of memories suddenly swarmed inside my head. T-the memories were so clear that I could still feel him and smell him beside me. Sobrang kumapit ang pamilyar niyang amoy sa'kin, sa kumot ko at sa unan ko.

Hindi maalis sa utak ko si Viah. Oo aaminin ko nang nag-alala talaga 'ko nang sobra. Kahit paano ay naging malapit na rin siya sa amin, kila nanay Celia. Kaya natural naman sigurong ganoon ang naging reaksiyon ko hindi ba? Maya-maya lang ay inaya nila ako sa sala nila para mas makapag-usap daw kami nang maayos. Madami raw silang ikukwento sakin. Baka makatulong din daw sa pagbalik ng memorya ko.

Hinagod niya ang likod ko, whispering soothing words, trying to ground me, to pull me back to the present. But the panic was too much. The memories came crashing down like a violent storm—the desperate pleas, the helpless sobs of me and mother, the deafening sound of the gunshot, the rustling of the trees, the birds startled into flight, and the haunting face of that criminal in the picture. It was as if the past had broken free from its chains, swallowing me whole. The fear, the pain, the helplessness—I felt it all over again, as if I had been thrown back to that very terrifying moment.

“Sige, mag-iingat ka” Ngumiti ako at nagpaalam na para umakyat na sa taas. Sumulyap pa ko ng huling beses kay Fourth bago tuluyang pumasok sa silid. Yes! Susubukan ko ulit mamingwit mamaya. Pero dapat mag-iingat na talaga ako. Baka mamaya mahulog na naman ako. Baka wala nang sumagip paniguradong lunod ang kahahantungan ko.

Kinuha ko iyon at agad na nagpasalamat. I remembered the first time that we did it. January 3, just days after new year. My legs were shaking so bad, both manifestation of doubt and disgust to myself. Sobra akong umiyak nang araw na iyon, I was so disappointed for what I've done. Pero bobo ako kaya't nagpatuloy iyon.

Ang ilan rito'y kasama na sa album nila, ang ilan, tanging ako pa lang yata ang nakaririnig. The wind drifted from the ocean and came like whispers. His voice lingered and suddenly, it felt as if he was here. His eyes that were always threatening but his touch that were delicate against my skin. He was everything contradictory. He was the navy skies with a warning of storm. For years, I have tried so hard but instead of forgetting, I have only cherished him. Ilang ulit pa bang kailangang masaktan upang tuluyan ng lumimot? Ironic how the heart could intake multiple hurt but could never learn to forget. I am the stupid ocean waves and he seemed like the sand, I find myself longing for him ever

Ang waves ay adaptive, aware, at tila sinusubukan ang foresight at mastery nina Lena at Adrian sa unprecedented scale. “These waves… they’re intelligent,” bulong Lena. “They’re learning from us, responding to our patterns, and even testing our sequences. It’s as if the horizon itself is evolving against us.” “Yes,” sagot ni Adrian, “and our role is now not just stabilization. We must harmonize, integrate, and guide, even when the challenge is beyond prior foresight. Our pulses must anticipate multiple outcomes simultaneously.”

“But I can see you as someone who will make me happy.” ”I know it's just in a friendly manner.” Hindi pa din siya naniniwala, sumayaw lang kami at pinakiramdaman ang isa't isa. “I suppose it's nice to know That there's so much left to go But as seasons start to change My feelings may start to fade But I'll never forget Oh the ease you put me in Oh the sun will start to set As the leaves rise in the wind And amidst a sea of red I'll think of the words you said”

Tingnan yaring matang luha'y bumubukal Humihingi ng awa mo't pagmamahal Damhin mo rin ang dibdib kong namamanglaw Yaring puso sa pagsinta'y mamamatay, mamamatay ay! Ilaglag mo ang panyo mong may pabango Papahiran ko ang luha ng puso ko Ah! pag-ibig kung ang oo mo ay matamo. Ah! pag-ibig kung ang oo mo ay matamo. Hanggang sa hukay, hanggang sa hukay Magkasama ikaw at ako! Ilaglag mo ang panyo mong may pabango Papahiran ko ang luha ng puso ko
