I'm In Love With HIM

INTERLUDE: Dead Man Tell Tales

FREYA

Hello! Welcome to Hell!

Joke lang! I'm not into Hell yet, and there's no way that I'll be going there. As far as I know, I obey all the TEN COMMANDMENTS that was set by Him and I only have countable sins. So there's a big chance that I won't be disposed to that hot fiery place.

I'm still in this place called Purgatory. I am with other souls waiting for our final judgement: whether we will be raise up to the gates of Heaven or toast our souls down to the lake of fires.

But wait- before you get confuse why I talk to you right now, remember that we, souls, can communicate to a living like you through a medium. And what medium is this? It's a big secret that we're not allowed to share this to you. So, I hope that this communication between you and me will remain confidential.

So as I told you, I am still here at the Purgatory together with these pre-judged souls like me. Some of them are my batch mates-not in school, batch mates because we died and came here at the same time-and some also are here for a long time already, but haven't received their final judgements yet.

Before I go on, maybe I should tell you first my own story in my own point of view. It would be good if you will also listen to my version before you take your side. It would be unfair if took side already before you listen to this and I will be really angry for that. I will visit you every night before you self and haunt you 'til death. So make sure to listen to me first.

First thing that you should know about me is that: I didn't killed myself.

It WASN'T a suicide.

Oops! That's it.

I know that you have a lot of questions running into your mind right now like; How did it happened? Who killed you? Who pushed you to that building? Why did someone dropped you from that building?

Save that for later. Sasagutin ko rin 'yan mamaya isa-isa. Kahit maghanda ka pa ng isang-daang tanong diyan, sasagutin ko pero mamaya na. Hindi tayo uusad kung sasagutin ko 'yan agad-agad.

Alam kong alam mo na kung sino ako, but just let me introduce myself to you decently.

I am Stephanie Freya Torres, 17 and the reigning Queen of NSU High.

I am the Queen and so, I have my King. You wanna know who he is? Well, I proudly present to you. The only King of my life, King Harold Ivan Monteclaro. He can be the only owner of my heart, body, mind and soul.

But unfortunately, the King doesn't love the Queen the way the Queen loves him. The Queen isn't just the only owner of his heart, body, mind and soul. The Queen tried her very best to teach the King to fall in love with her, but she can't dictate the King's heart. So to stop herself from hurting, the Queen decided to take off her throne and moved to the another palace with the crown, leaving the King alone.

Enough with the King-Queen analogy. Let's cut to the chase.

I was once a student in NSU until my Dad told me to transfer at the most prestigious school in London because of some family matters. Kaya para hindi na rin masaktan ang aking pinakamamahal na puso, I hastily agreed with my Dad to transfer. I need to entertain myself with something to remove Ivan from my thoughts.

Ivan and I once used to be childhood friends dahil na rin sa relationship na mayroon ang both parents namin. Kaya hindi ko na rin maiwasang mapagaan ang loob ko sa kanya, and the bad thing that happened is that I fell in love with him. Wait- was that a bad thing? Maybe yes, because he didn't love me back at isang katangahan pa rin 'yon para sa akin.

Gayunpaman, nagiging magkaibigan pa rin kami gaya ng pagkakaibigan na mayroon sila ng kanyang tatlong kaibigan. Pero hindi pa rin basta-basta mawawala ang feelings ko para sa kanya. Kaya ginagawa ko na lang ang lahat para malibang ang aking sarili at unti-unting mawala ang pagtingin ko para kay Ivan.
