Natapos rin ang araw and Aileen - my fiancé set me off from work. Even I had insisted to stay for a while to assist her. Napakatigas parin niya and she doesn't need my help anyway.

She thought she can do that job as well she has to stay very late at night.

If I was her..... matatapos ko ng madali ang trabaho, ive been a president of that company for many years kayat kabisado ko rin kung ano ang pwedeng gagawin. But yes, she's stress enough to entertain any HELP.

Kayat I hopped in my car and drove towards the exclusive bar, it's 8 in the evening and I'm pretty sure they're waiting for me inside.

I don't need this recreation, but for heavensake... I really wanted to know Donna's past, and I know this is a way.

After I park my car palabas na sana ako when all of a sudden bigla na lamang may humatak na kung anong malakas na pwersa sa akin. No my body is still standing infront of my car and I can still feel the key inside my hand.

I can move my eyes, anywhere and now... nakakaramdam ako na para bang may humihila sa katawan ko, I slowly look at my hands. Nakita kong nakasuot ako ng toxido at unting-unting gumagaan ang pakiramdamam ko.

In a blink of an eye. I was standing in my car's rooftop and I was staring on Donna's constant body while eyes are wide open. Eveything has stopped. Yung mga sasakyang nasa daanan, yung mga taong naglalakad, yung ilaw sa bar, and I cannot hear any sound.

What is this? Ngayon na ba ulit ang oras ko? I haven't even tried the best I could to be with my Aileen. And now....

This is it again?

Is it time already?

Napaupo na lamang ako and put my hand on my chest. There were no beating.

Am I really dead?

Panginip lang ba talaga ang lahat?

Nasapo ko kaagad ang ulo ko and caught tears falling from my eyes. I cannot feel them anyway they just fall.

Bigla akong nakarinig ng naglalakad mula sa likod ko.

"kawawa ka naman Jerick" it was the real Donna.

He clapped his hands and then all of sudden, biglang may kumabog ng malakas mula sa dibdib ko. I then feel life from a spirit.

"are you making fun of me?" sabi ko at agad na tumayo, tinstagao ang tuwa sa kailaliman ng paa ko.

"fun? What's more funny is when you were making a way to know my past." Sabi niya habang naglalakad sa harapan ko. He is wearing the same clothes nung una kaming magkita.

"it's my only way to know the reasons why I am brought to life again."

"n-nah-nah! You weren't brought back. Your good as dead Mr. Company owner. Palagi mong isaksak sa kokote mo na pinahiram ko lang ang katawan sa iyo." This isn't the tone he used the first time we met.


"I know that you will say that (smile) now tell me..... why?" looking towards him.

"why can't you be just thankful Jerick? You're walking in the world of the living---"



"you didn't die Donna. You chose this and I don't know why you cannot tell me your reasons. Huwag mong sabihin na napaka-swerte ko dahil naglalakad ako sa mundo ng mga nabubuhay. Youre the one who's lucky." Sabi ko without realizing that I needed to be alive. I have reasons to live.

But why Donna? Why is it that you donnot have any reasons to live?

Napayuko siya sa sinabi ko, and hecomb her long hair with his hands.
