LET'S JUST MAKE IT NEXT TIME

I am Rein and I love the idea of reincarnation, the idea of it
makes me feel comfortable, I do read books and articles about it and as I read new articles I become more curious.

Reincarnation is the philosophical or religious concept that the non-physical essence of a living being starts a new life in a different physical form or body after biological death. It is also called rebirth or transmigration.

I am just a normal girl, who always dreams about... about a person that I can see her life, what she have done In her life and the love that they can't have. And these dreams made me more curious and my hunger to learn about what's behind the reincarnation has been boosted.

Those dreams always make me cry.

I saw their love story, they're happy having each other but the problem is their families are mortal enemies.

And they decided to kill their lives holding their each other's hands, the last word that the man said was, "If we can't fight for our love this time, I will always find you."

That scenery always plays on my mind.

But it stopped when I saw him, I saw Carl, my whole world stops.

He just walked upstairs and entered his room.

It was the first day of class.

And after I saw him I entered the room that he entered, we're classmates.

The teacher entered and said. "Please introduce yourself one by one. I am your adviser, I am Ms. Gonzales .

My classmates started to introduce themselves.

And when it's my turn, I introduced myself like this. "Hi? I am Rein Buenaventura, and I love reading books about reincarnation."

I heard some silent sniffles from Carl, he even murmured. "What!? She loves reincarnation?"

That day I've felt sad, I was walking in the path way of the school when suddenly someone called me.

"Rein, hintayin mo'ko." I saw him, pawis na pawis siya at mukhang pagod na pagod sa paghabol sa akin.

Ngumiti lamang ako at hindi nagsalita.

"Galit kaba sa akin? sa inasal ko kanina?" pangungulit niya.

Magsasalita na sana ako nang bigla niya akpng hinalikan sa labi.

He even hugged me tightly, and he whispered something that made me wonder-stricken, tears started to fall form my eyes.

"I found you, I fulfilled what I promised," He even said with tears in his eyes, he was so happy.

"I waited for you for so long, And please don't go anymore," I uttered while crying.

"Matagal din kitang hinanap, matagal din akong nalungkot dahil wala ka." Wika niya.

The joy I am feeling right now, I love it.

But that joy has been replaced with tears.

Sinangga ni Carl ang balang tatama sa akin, Natamaan siya at bumagsak sa aking mga braso.

Humagulgol ako nang malakas, "Tulungan niyo ka!, Tulong,"

I saw him smiling at me and said. "Please don't be sad, I'll wait for you for the next time, and when that time came please let's make it work."

Those words are his last. He died. We didn't make it. But this time I will not let him find me, I am the one who will do it. And I fired the gun in my head.
