Where The Sun Sets Novels & Stories

Sana lang, hindi 'yon magbigay ng sama nang loob sa kanya. Bago ako uuwi sa mansion, naisipan ko munang maglakad-lakad upang pagmasdan na rin ang mga tanawin. Ilang araw din akong naka-focus sa bahay, sa mansion. Kaya, bibigyan ko na muna nang Oras ang sarili ko ngayon. Baka, gumaan pa ang loob ko. Nakarating ako sa dagat. Tumayo ako nang maayos habang pinagmamasdan ang magandang SUNSET. Nagkaroon nga nang wakas, subalit may panibago naman na dumating. Nilanghap ko ang simoy ng hangin. Ang sarap ng dagat, ang presko.

HA... the sky is beautiful. What a pleasant day to hang my head. I closed my eyes and feel the cold breeze on the top of a building. Is this where it will all end? Should I just jump and let all my worries disappear? "What should I do?" I said. As soon as I opened my eyes, a majestic view appear. The sun is slowly setting, the color of the sky is mixed of blue and orange. The place is awfully quiet as if no one is around.

Sagot ko. After 4 hours the sun is about to set, habang naglalakad lakad ako sa dalampasigan to ease up ay pinanonood ko ang araw. "You still shine the brightest though, medyo ma-attitude ka lang." Natawa ako sa sariling sinabi.

Ang puso ko ang hindi. The sun already set on it's daily spot.Papalubog na iyon at nagkulay kahel na ang kalangitan.I can't help but to admire the beauty of our nature. Wala kaming ibang kasama dito.Sabi ni Marco ay may bayan din naman daw dito pupunta daw kami doon bukas.

Hindi siya sumagot at nakinig na lamang. “Some days, sorrows cover our light, and that sorrows were represented by clouds. Natatakpan lang pero hindi ibig sabihin non, the fire isn’t burning anymore. The light is still there, ngunit natatakpan lang. And sunsets represents that not all endings are bad. Sometimes, it’s a beautiful thing too. The sunset is telling us that it’s okay to rest. To take a little nap. To let darkness consume you. Because when you finally find the light, you can rise again and start another day. And another day means a new start. A new beginning.” He was just staring at her. May ngiti sa labi nito at nang tumingin sa kanya ay muli itong nagsalita.

I snorted. “Ha! Someday, you’ll be glad that I took videos and photos.” “Oo na. Your voice is too loud. I’ll probably go deaf if I watch this video with the headset on.” She scoffed and went silent. She’s just staring at the sky. It’s not too bright anymore. You can now appreciate the sunset without worrying that you might hurt your eyes. “The sunset is so beautiful yet sad.” “Why do you think so?” I asked. “Because for me, it signifies the end and goodbyes.”

What the hell made her smile like that. Makalipas ang isang oras, binuksan nito ang makapal na bintana ng glass wall at kitang kita ang view sa labas. The sunset cast an orange hue on the horizon. There were paler patches, clusters of faint and flashy light, the constellations varied according to the time of year.Ang ganda naman ng view dito, kahit ilang beses niya na itong nakikita tuwing nag oovertime siya ngunit nalulula pa rin siya sa ganda. Kita ang buong London, kita pa pati ang bigben sa kabilang kanan niya. Ang ganda naman ng langit, kahit winter pero ang ganda ng sunset. Ang kumag, kaya naman pala binuksan ang curtain. Nagpapa impress ba ito?

Madilim pa rin sa labas ng bahay, although nakikita ko na malapit nang sumikat ang araw. I peeked at my watch, it said 6:45 in the morning. Mga bandang alas-syete siguro sisikat ang araw. Fact: In Western Sahara, the sun rise at approx. 7 am and set at approx 8 pm. Hinanap ko ang bag ko, nandun pa rin iyon sa silya. Pero kumunot ang noo ko nang mapansing wala doon ang bag ni Thurstin.

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.

And a perfect moment kapag nag-sunset. I hugged her from the back and satch as the sun starts to set. Nakangiti niyang hinawakan ang mga kamay ko, resting her head on my chest. We used to watch the sunset and sunrise before from the rooftops when we're in US. Living with her makes me truly happy. And excited to wake up every morning to see her sleeping beside me with our bodies blending together.
