When You Wish Upon A Star Novels & Stories

She looked at the sky and stared at the stars. “Are you looking at the stars?” biglang tanong ni Aiden sa kanya na siyang ikinalingon niya rito. Tipid siyang ngumiti kahit na hindi ito nililingon. “They’re mesmerizing. Too bad they’re not stars. They’re rocks.” Science mesmerize her sometimes. Yet it ruins the world they once lived and believe it. She used to think that those twinkling in the skies are stars, but they’re rocks. And a shooting star doesn’t make your wish come true.

Wala na akong pamilya na uuwian o hahanapin man lang kapag nangyari iyon. I’m all alone. This loneliness is slowly eating my sanity that I wished to just die without a trace. Pero… Hindi pa ako nagkaka-lovelife so I can’t die without losing my virginity. Unfair iyon sa pagkababaȇ ko! “Wishing star, wishing star, hindi naman halatang naniniwala pa rin ako sa iyo hanggang ngayon, ano? Kung may plano ka pang tuparin ang wish ko, gawin mo na!”

Pilit kong tinatanggap ang katotohanan kahit na sobrang sakit no’n. Kaya muli akong napatingin sa kalangitan, hinayaan ang sarili kong muling masilayan ang tahimik nitong kagandahan. Ilang sandali lang, isang shooting star ang dumaan, at halos mapatalon ako sa tuwa. “Ethan! May shooting star! Wish ka dali!” I excitedly screamed. Agad akong lumapit sa railing, para masilayan iyon ng maigi.

Ano bang wish ko? Na sana umuwi si Bryan. Na sana tumigil na ang puso ko sa paghahanap kay Bryden. Na sana maging tama ako kahit minsan. Hinipan ko ang kandila. “Anong wish mo?” tanong niya. “Bawal sabihin.” “Fair.” Inabot niya ang maliit na kahon. Binuksan ko iyon. Nasa loob ang keychain. Maliit na metal charm na hugis buwan, may nakaukit sa likod.

Ayaw kong ipakita. I looked up. Trying to stop my tears from falling, but that didn’t help. It made it worst. Sumabay pa ang lamig ng hangin na dumadampi sa balat ko. Do wishes come true upon wishing to the wishing stars? Maybe they do… … but not with us. I know they can't, how much I want it. How much I beg for it. Lumipas ang ilang minuto na nakatingin lang ako sa kalangitan habang hinahayaan na magsipatakan ang mga luha.

“Anong tinitignan mo?” Nagbuga ng hininga si Carlo bago bumaling sa kanya. “I was just wondering if there’d be shooting stars in the skies tonight.” “Why?” “I want to make a wish,” nanatawang pahayag ng binata. “A wish? You still believe stars could grant a wish?” naaaliw na sabi ni Blaire. Carlo chuckled and kissed the tip of her nose. “It’s my turn to shower,” anang binata bago tuluyang naglakad patungo sa banyo.

Habang buhay niyang itatatak sa kanyang kokote na wala siyang karapatang maging masaya pagkatapos ng ginawa niya sa mahal niya.

Muli akong tumingala sa langit at ngumiti. "Kung hihiling ba ako sa wishing well na ito, tutuparin n'ya ang lahat kahilingan ko?" May dinukot ito sa bulsa niya matapos ay hinila ang aking kanang kamay para ibigay ang pisong barya, "Here, try it." he said in a soft tone and smiled a bit. "Just say what your truly desire and this well will surely grant what you wish for." Tinapik pa nito ang nguso ng balon.
