Amidst the World's Cruelty

Chapter 3

Ano kayang gusto ipahiwatig ng batang yon?.....Naguguluhan ako, kung makapagsalita sya ay parang hindi sya bata. I tried to search her name in all kinds of social media pero walang lumalabas, maybe her parents are too strict lang? But I can't lie that kid is creeping me out...

I woke up in the middle of the night because of a bad dream....that girl, who is she? Why does she keep bothering me?

Napapanaginipan ko ng paulit-ulit ang isang batang babae sa loob nga isang lugar na sobrang sikip. Ito din siguro ang dahilan kung bakit ako nagkaroon ng claustrophobia....I just washed my face and went back to sleep again, hoping that this time that girl won't bother me.

I woke up when the light of the sun hits my face, maybe I forgot to close my windows last night....it's another day, another day to face the world's cruelty

I get up off the bed and started my morning routine....nothing is new, I woke up hearing the echo of silence in  four corners of this condo. Napapaisip ako na mahirap din palang maging independent....you know that feeling na  pag-uwi mo, there's no one to tell you na "you did great today"  and hug you so tight...

It was 6:30 am na, so I need to go na before pa ako malate.

It was exactly 7 am nang nakarating ako sa school, when I entered the room something caught my attention.....It was a digicam on top of my desk, so I quicky grab it and shamelessly look at the pictures that was taken by that camera.

At first I was confused kasi puro nature ang nakikita ko rito, it's like the owner of this camera has been inlove with with nature. Pero the next thing I felt is....unexplainable. As I continue pressing the next button, napadpad ako sa isang video, It was a video of.....Lorelai.

THE VIDEO:
Lorelai: Hi guys!! This is me, Lorelai! Today is September 5, 1999 and it is also my 11th birthday. For some reasons, I decided to celebrate it together with my family and my two dogs....Look this is Hirang-Abo and Cinta, say hi cuties!!
To the future me, I hope you are doing well today and don't forget to be fearless because you're gonna be fearless anyway. BYEEEEE!!
