Trail of a Single Tear (Gazellian Series #3)

Chapter 27

A/N I don't know what to say anymore as I read your comments. Nakaka-overwhelm, dahil halos lahat affected, with your different opinions and theories. Thank you! During HHV era (Gazellian Series 1) sa isang update mga 20 comments lang ang nababasa ko at masaya na ako dito. But now, halos hindi ko na mabasa. And! most of your comments have sense at may pinaglalaban. So much joy!

I've been receiving request about the story of King Thaddeus, Talisha and Danna. Yes, just like you I am also eager to reveal their story. But I still have my series to fulfill (the sons and daughter). So until the very last GS, you'll only have the beliefs of the other characters about their story. Not the whole story.

Happy reading!

Btw, the whole vampire story. Setting, beliefs, traditions, curses and of course the history were all based from my imagination. Thank you!

Chapter 27

Another story

Nanghina ako sa narinig mula kay Pearl. Nangatal ang mga tuhod, hanggang sa tuluyan na itong bumigay at mapasalampak sa sahig.

But this time, no tears had fell.

Hindi ako nagsalita, nagtanong at nagpatuloy sa pakikipagtalo sa kanya. I suddenly felt numb. I don't know what to react anymore.

Hindi ko na alam.

Ngunit hindi rin nagtagal ay narinig ko ang singhap niya dahil sa pagkagulat.

"Oh! N-Naha, I'm sorry." She said with her trembling voice.

Mahigpit na yakap ang iginawad sa akin ng kapatid ko. Hindi ako gumanti ng yakap pero tahimik kong dinama ang init ng paghingi niya ng tawad.

We stayed like that for almost an hour, because I finally said my few words.

"I need to be alone, please. I won't run." Pearl nodded while wiping her tears. She gave me a kiss on my forehead, before leaving me alone.

I lied down on the floor and let myself stared at the ceiling with my blank mind, thinking nothing.

Sleep. I need to sleep.

Silently wishing to not open my eyes again.

**

I wasn't surprised to find myself in a different dream. But I was hoping-- that this one was not part of the past.

Or anything about the Gazellian or my sister.

Barefooted, I continued walking my trail on endless sands of path. I suddenly wished to stay in this place forever, dahil sumagi man ang pangalang Gazellian sa aking isipan ay hindi bumigat ang dibdib ko gaya ng nararamdaman ko sa labas ng panaginip na ito.

I wonder where was this place?

Pinagpatuloy ko ang aking paglalakad kahit alam kong wala itong patutunguhan. There's always an end in every rode, no matter how long the journey, no matter how tough the hindrance.

Unti-unting nagliwanag ang aking mukha at nakaramdam nang matinding pangungulila nang makita ang dalawang taong hinihiling kung muling makasama.

"Papa! Ma!"

They were both seated near the huge rock and dressed with usual human clothes.

Nang lumingon ang aking mga magulang ay mainit na ngiti ang isinalubong nila sa akin. I ran as fast as I could to reach them. Kapwa nila ibinuka ang kanilang mga braso para sa akin.
