Maaari lang sana, dito na lang tayo sa ating tagpuan... My eyes widened when she stopped and looked at my direction. Nagtago naman agad ako sa waiting shed at pinakiramdaman siya.

[The Memory Beneath the Rain] “The rain didn’t just touch my skin… it touched something I had buried too deep to remember.” It started with the sound. Soft. Steady. Relentless. Rain.

Because ever since Julian locked me in— Everything felt smaller.

Tumingin ako sa taas para pigilan ang mga iyon sa pagtulo pero bigo ako. The gravity is pulling my tears down and it did a good job because my tears are falling down like a rush of water from a broken faucet... ayaw tumigil sa pagtulo.

Dahil sa mga isiping iyon ay napayuko siya at niyakap ang sariling mga tuhod habang hindi na napigilan ang kanyang mga masaganang luha sa pagpatak. Nasa ganoong sitwasyon siya nang maramdaman niyang may pumapatak na tubig sa kanya na nagmumula sa itaas. Nagtaka siya dahil tag-init noong mga panahong iyon pero bakit mayroong ulan? Hinayaan nalang niya na mabasa siya ng ulan. The rain became her comfort in her sorrow that day. Tila nakikisimpatya ang ulan sa nararamdaman niyang takot at pangamba.

I think it's about to rain. Slowly, a smile appeared between my lips nang bigla akong may maalala. Dati... hihilahin ako ni Zach sa labas, and would dance with me in the middle of the rain, so that it would wash away the bad memories that comes with it, and change it to a good one.
