Iyong akala mo hawak ka na niya, nasa tuktok kana at payapa pero sa dulo ay binitawan ka niya. . . matarik, nakakatakot, walang kasiguraduhan, malamig. . . at nag-iisa.

Life has been a living nightmare for Malaya Anastacia after her Mom died; her life transitioned 360 degrees- from being the unica hija her parents once loved to being a damsel in distress. She spent almost half of her life wishing she could live up to her name. Malaya. Free. but the reality is quite the opposite, she's empty inside. She is caged under her Dad's claw. She has all the reason to be bitter in life, to be gone, pero hindi niya magawa dahil may isang taong umaasa pa rin sa kaniya . . . hanggang sa naging dalawa. Serge Solomon came into her life. The ever so bubbly boy - everyone's dream boy. Handsome, funny, and kind. The ray of sunshine. The Golden retriever. Very opposite from Malaya's personality. But is adding Serge into her life enough to keep her going? Probably not because every single day, Malaya still has this thought: When breathing becomes heavier and waking up in the morning feels like an obligation rather than a blessing, what do I do? Everyone said it's bright but why is it seem so dark? If I lost my feet on the ground and didn't know where is the right path, where should I go? They said waves of life lay in sadness and happiness, does the line in between for emptiness? When a person chose to be free from everything, why do we consider it a tragedy?

[ Orasan Series #1] Ilang taon na ang nagdaan ngunit hindi ko parin alam kung kailan nga ba ang tamang oras ng pagpapaalam. Kailan ang tamang oras ng pagbitaw at pagpapalaya? Kailan ko ba kakayanin na ikaw ay mahinahong bitawan? Naging marahas kasi ang oras para sa ating dalawa. "Gising na, Sinta." Ilang beses ko na bang narinig ang mga kataga?

"I think we both now know that we cannot kiss the soul that had already left..." Hindi lang ako isang beses namatay. Not twice, not thrice, I died too many times.

Pero pangako Sinta, huling beses na dahil pagpatak ng alas dose bibitawan kana. -------- A perspective of dead soul watching her love...love again.
