When The Sun Goes Down Novels & Stories

Namilog ang mga mata niya habang kinukwento ang bawat experience niya sa downhill. Noon raw, hindi naman daw maingay ang downhill. Sagana raw ito sa makakapal na sunflower tuwing Summer at Dahlias tuwing Spring. Maraming tao raw ang nagpupunta sa downhill para magpapicture. At lahat daw ay nagugustuhan ito. Pero nang mamatay raw ang ina ng tahanan, ay nagbago na raw ang lahat at parang naging haunted zoom area na ang lugar.

Katulad ng kung paano mo ito igaya sa mga tao, ang mundo ay puno ng pagdadagdag na hindi mo mawari. Aalis ang sunset, dadating ang sunrise para sabihing may bago na namang pagsubok, problema at pag-asa na darating. Lulubog ang sunset dahil ito ay nagsasabing sa kalagitnaan ng unos, pighati at maraming nangyayari ay aalis din sila sa tamang panahon. My butts hurt upon sitting the whole afternoon near the shore, maraming tao tuloy ang nakatingin sa akin habang nakatitig lamang ako sa kawalan.

"KAHIT ANO'NG MANGYARI, huwag kang lalabas kapag gabi." Lagi iyong ipinapaalala ng kanyang lola simula pa noong nagkamuwang siya. Mahigpit na ipinagbabawal kay Ashley ang paglabas kapag wala na ang araw at madilim na ang kapaligiran.

Soirye added, her voice soft as a whisper, "we can take a nap under the palm trees." I smiled, my heart overflowing with happiness. We were home. We were together. And we were going to make the most of every single day. The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, a breathtaking spectacle that usually filled me with a sense of peace. But tonight, the beauty of the sunset felt like a cruel mockery, a stark contrast to the storm brewing within me.

But every now and then, my mind would wander back to Kurt, to what we had lost, and to the future I had once envisioned with him. The hours passed, and as the sun began to set, the mansion was bathed in a warm, golden light. I found myself drawn back to the balcony, where I could see the sun slowly dipping below the horizon. It was a beautiful sight, but it also felt symbolic. The end of one chapter, the closing of a day that had been filled with so much pain and realization.

Pagtapos ng trabaho niya ay dumadaan siya sa paborito niyang restaurant para bumili ng dinner niya bago siya magtungo sa lugar na gustong gusto niyang puntahan sa tuwing matatapos ang araw. Pinarada niya ang kanyang kotse sa gilid ng kalsada saka bumaba para pagmasdan ang unti-unting paglubog ng araw. Amaze na amaze talaga siya kung paano unti-unting mawala sa horizon ang araw. It was like they are each other’s rest. Napangiti siya. “When the time is right, I know that the right person will come. I just need to wait. Just like how the horizon waits for the sun to set,” she whispered as the sun slowly fades away from her sight.

Huminga siya nang malalim nang ilang beses bago niya napigilang lumabas at makipag-away pa. “Kapag pina-drive ko pa ulit ‘yon, aso ako!” Galit niyang sinumpa sa hangin. *** Pag-uwi ni Sunshine, pasado alas otso na ng gabi. Sa dami ng lakad at trabaho, pagod na pagod siya. Naligo siya ng mainit at maaga siyang natulog. *** Kinabukasan. Nagising si Sunshine sa huni ng mga ibon sa labas ng bintana.

The stars can still be seen at the sky despite the sun rising. "As it sets at the end of a day, I think of you leaving me for good. And then my world would feel like full of darkness. But everytime it rises in the morning, it gives me new thoughts. That it is you, who is rising and giving light to my sunless world." He whispered right on my ear.

Mahinang tanong ni Arie. Napangiti ako nang bahagya. "Hindi mo na kailangang itanong. Naalala ko." Every afternoon... Kapag natatapos ang trabaho... Tahimik lang kaming tatayo rito. Magkatabi. Walang usapan. Walang ingay. Pinapanood lang ang araw habang unti-unti itong nawawala sa likod ng mga gusali. Sabi niya noon... "Sunsets are peaceful. Para kang pinapayagan ng mundo na huminto sandali."

Maybe he misses Charitee that is why he’s been acting like that. After our lunch, nagpatuloy kami sa paglilibot hanggang sa maghapon na. Melody’s well energized that she did not feel tired the whole day. It was clearly evident that she is enjoying this day. It was around four in the afternoon when we finally decided to go home. The sun is about to set, and the sky turned into a shade of orange. It was a very nice scenery while we’re on our way home. “Melody…” I called her after I pilled my eyes off the window and looked at her.
