Where The Sun Sets Novels & Stories

Hindi ako kaagad napagalaw dahil sa pagkabigla, I see him turn to the cottages before his eyes shifted to mine once more. "Okay, let's go?" he said, gesturing his head to the cottages. "Or do you want to stay here? Sun is going to set na, oh." My eyes went back to the ocean, and I saw the faded orange hues in the sky along with the water reflecting it. The thought of wanting to stay flashed in my mind, the view too beautiful to ignore. I heard a chuckle from my right along with a short movement until I found him facing the sky with me.

*** Sobrang bigat ng nararamdaman ko na hindi ko na namalayan na nasa gilid na ako ng kalsada at naglalakad sa kung saan man ako mapadpad ng aking mga paa. The sun was already setting, naupo ako sa isang bangko malapit sa pantalan. The ocean was visible from where I sat, the water stretching endlessly toward the horizon. The clinic had been nearby, which is the only reason I had ended up here, walking in no particular direction, lost in a maze of my own thoughts. I stared at the sunset. Every time I watched the sun dip below the horizon, I thought of Papa. There was a strange beauty in it... the way the sun was saying goodbye, the way it illuminated the world one last time before fading into

Being out of the outskirts of Manila is like freedom have been received. Watching the setting sun in this area gives a mesmerizing and amazing scenery. Hindi ako nagsasawang panoorin ito, sa Manila hindi ko ito masyadong napagtutuunan ng pansin pero ngayong nakabalik na kami ay muli ko na namang napagmasdan ang ganda ng paglubog ng araw. They say, the sunset or the end of the day represents the end of a journey but when the sunrise came in represents rebirth. So no matter how a journey ends, there are still new beginnings ahead of us to try on.

“Because sunsets remind people that even the most beautiful things eventually come to an end.” Napatingin ako sa kaniya, pero hindi siya nakatingin sa akin. Nakatitig pa rin siya sa dagat. “But when you’re watching it with someone you care about the ending doesn’t feel sad. It becomes a memory you both carry.” Tahimik akong napangiti sa sinabi niya. Bago pa man ako makapagsalita ay muli siyang nagsalita. “That’s why people don’t just remember the sunset. They remember who was standing beside them when the sky turned gold.”

Kinagat ko ang labi ko pero ngumiti rin at tumango tango. "Thank you, Storm." "You're welcome." Storm took some pictures while I was enjoying the sea. Naupo kami sa buhanginan nang magsimula na ang paglubog ng araw. Of course, Storm took some pictures of me and the sunset was my background. "This Resort is a really good spot for sunset viewing." "It's one of the reason kung bakit binabalik balikan ito ng mga tao." "Nagbago ang pangalan ng Resort kaya hindi ko alam na ito pala yung Resort five years ago."

Shiro "Gosh, I’m freezing. The wind is so cold." Reklamo ni tres habang naglalakad kaming anim pataas upang makabalik sa lugar namin. The sun was almost saying goodbye to us while the moon on the other side was about to appear. It was a very beautiful scene. Seeing the moon and sun rise and set at the same time and in the same place. I guess I wouldn’t see anything as beautiful as this ever.

Natatawang tumigil na kami sa pamumulot nang mapansing lumulubo na ang dalawang bulsa ko. After the walk, we decided to sit in the large stretch of sand found in the middle. May iilang bato na ring naroroon at naka-expose pero mas pinili na lamang naming upuan ang mga sapin namin sa paa para ma-enjoy namin ang panonood sa papalubog na araw. “Did you know that in literature, sunsets would often depict something magical and mysterious then beauty and love as well?” I shared, my eyes fixed with the sun setting.

Sumilay ang ngisi sa aking mukha nang matanaw ko ang kabuuan ng Sampaloc lake. Ilang minuto na lang at malapit nang lumubog ang araw. "You like it here?" Lumingon ako sa papalapit na Earl. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya bilang sagot ko. Somehow, napapawi ang galit ko sa kaniya. I diverted my eyes at the beautiful scenery right in front of me. The gradient sky is slowly turning into pinkish blue as the sun sets in the horizon. Beside the setting sun, beholds the majestic Mount Banahaw.

Hinalikan muna siya nito sa pisngi bago nito sabihin ang rason. "That's because sunset reminds me that everything has an end. No matter how bad your life may be or no matter how bad your problem is, sunset reminds you that it will always end and tomorrow will be another day. And sunset bring sadness and happiness at the same time which sunrise don't have." Ngumiti ito sa panghuling sinabi. Alam niyang binibiro lamang siya nito dahil sa itsura at paraan ng boses nito nang sabihin iyon sa kanya.

Ngayon ay mas klaro na sa paningin niya ang napakagandang sunset sa Manila Bay. Humawak siya sa railings nang magsimulang umandar ang yacht. Pumosisyon naman si Saint sa likuran niya, saktong-sakto ang height upang makita rin ang sunset. Umandar ito at sa bawat pag-abante nito sa karagatan ay parang paglapit nila sa lumulubog na araw.
