Where Rainbows End Novels & Stories

"I'm always here for you." As Ruan drive me home, the rain continued to pour down, washing away the remnants of our shared evening, leaving behind a lingering sense of warmth and a bittersweet memory of a connection that was both profound and impossible. When we reached the front of my house, I immediately went down. I watched as Ruan drive away, his car disappearing into the rain-soaked night. I stood on my porch, the rain washing over me, a silent testament to the storm that had raged within my heart.

The sky was a canvas of muted gray, a reflection of the somber atmosphere that enveloped the cemetery. Friends and family gathered under the protective shelter of umbrellas, their expressions a mixture of sorrow and quiet contemplation. The rain that fell from the heavens seemed to echo the collective tears that flowed, a poignant reminder of the emotions that the day held.

Johan tried to talk and explain but I shush him. Tang'na, parte ba 'to ng pag-m-move on ko sandali? Muli akong napapikit at naglabas ng malalim na buntong hininga, pagkatapos ay nagdilat ako at isinakto ang tingin ko sa rumaragasang tubig ng ilog na napakalinaw. Dumadagdag pa ang sinag na nagmumula sa bawat espasyo ng mga puno, nagmumukha tuloy enchanted ang buong paligid. Parang may photoshoot at sinadya para sa isang teleserye.

Huminga ako ng malalim at ngumiti habang nakatingin sa iba't-ibang kulay ng rainbow. Salamat at natapos rin ang kalbaryong kinakaharap namin sa araw na 'to.

I was just really desperate to get away. Nang makarating sa Core ay hindi ko na napigilan ang aking mga luha. Kusa na lamang tumulo ang mga iyon pagkatapos kong mai-park ang kotse. Marahas kong pinunasan ang basang mga pisngi. I climb out of the car to get some fresh air, hoping they would dry away the tears, but to no avail. My eyes seemed to have gained a mind of their own. Kahit anong pigil ay paulit-ulit silang nagtutubig.

Ito na yata ang isa sa pinakamemorable na pangyayari sa buhay niya na kahit lumipas man ang maraming taon, babalik-balikan niya. The darker shades of Rain are slowly fading and it's replaced by the bright illuminating light for their future ahead...

"Sir Maui, baka nabo-bored na po kayo sa pinag-uusapan natin?" "Nope. I'm interested to know," sinserong sabi niya. "'Yong purple po kasi, sabi po ng isa sa mga member ng BTS, si V, 'yon po ang huling kulay sa rainbow and 'yon daw po ay kulay ng love..." Pinutol niya ako sa pagasasalita ko habang napapa-isip, "ROY G BIV.. .violet 'yong huli. Anyway, they are of the same shade as purple, so, yeah, continue."

It's not just about getting wet; it's about embracing the elements and finding solace in the midst of nature's symphony. As I open the door, the cool breeze infused with the scent of rain greets me, and a soft mist envelops my surroundings. I grab an umbrella, not to shield myself entirely but to let the raindrops playfully tap against the canopy. The rhythmic drumming of rain on the umbrella creates a melody that harmonizes with the rustling leaves and distant thunder, turning an ordinary stroll into a dance with the elements.

bulong niya, “we’ve built something better than any kingdom. We built this — our peace.” Ngumiti si Cassandra, hinawakan ang kamay niya. “And we’ll protect it. Together.” Sa di kalayuan, sumigaw si Alaric, “Mom! Dad! Look, rainbow!” Tumingala silang lahat, at sa gitna ng bughaw na langit ay may makulay na bahaghari — simbolo ng bagong simula. At doon, sabay-sabay silang tumawa, parang mga batang walang iniintindi kundi ang saya ng sandali.

Life isn’t just like the rainbow after the rain. There's always the aftermath of what we meant to be failed. Let’s just say that after what happened last night, I have to pay for the aftermath. I didn’t choose it; it just meant to happen because the universe chose to give me the cruelest destiny, like I had been his brave soldier that armor with mental anguish, instead of writing me a happy ending where I could rest and make money.
