Manila Encounters

I feel empty as I saw him lying there peacefully, that he didn't even bother waking up. I walked carefully down the aisle of grief and tears. I sobbed as I got to feel his cold features with my warm hands as it was opened.

I was reminded by my Lola's voice inside my head and quickly grabbed his hands. I scanned his cold palms as I look at my warm ones. I broke down. My soulmate was by my side all along. It was too late. But where did it go wrong?

His family said that his death was unsolved. I remember Lola said that your soulmate dies when you refuse to believe is because it is rejecting your other half. You'll become an empty vessel of yourself at the moment you lost your soul. That's when I knew, he died because I didn't believed.
