Anim na taon mula nang magbago ang nakalakhang buhay ni Stella Daprisia, inisip niyang isang malaking pagkakamali na ang lahat ng nangyayari sa kanyang buhay. Mula nang iwan ng mga itinuring na kaibigan, iwan ng sariling ama upang sumama sa ibang babae, hanggang sa pagkamatay ng sariling ina-lahat ay mga pangyayaring napagod na siyang iyakan at isipin pa ay parte na lamang ng pangit na pundasyon ng buhay na gusto niyang baguhin. Sa pagdating ni Phillip at ng mahiwagang pocket watch sa kanyang buhay, bibigyan siya ng mga ito ng dahilan upang baguhin ang lahat. May mga pangyayaring maaaring balikan, mga pagkakataong maaaring baguhin, mga sandaling hindi pagsasawaang paulit-ulitin, ngunit sa oras na humingi na ang tadhana ng kapalit sa bawat oras na naibalik, matatandaan pa kaya niya ang mga bagay na nagsilbing daan upang maayos niya ang sariling kinabukasan? Maaalala pa kaya niya ang bukod-tanging nanatili sa kanyang tabi kung siya rin ang dahilan kung bakit niya ito nakalimutan? ----- When It All Starts Again © 2019 by Lena0209 (Elena Buncaras) WINNER OF THE WATTY AWARDS 2019 UNDER YOUNG ADULT CATEGORY Original concept of When It All Starts Again © July 2013 by Lena0209

Elevators. Airplanes. Palaman ng Sandwich. Yung feeling na papunta ka pa lang at excited ka pa lang sa pupuntahan mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa lang yung birthday mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa ang isa pang espesyal na araw. Yung feeling na ilang oras na lang ay pasko na. Yung feeling na tatlong araw na lang simula na ulit ng pasukan. Yung feeling na nasa gitna ka pa lang at di ka pa nakakarating. Yung feeling na malapit na pero hindi pa. Yun ang laging gusto ko. Yung nasa gitna pa lang. Yung nasa gitna ka ng dalawang bagay. Gitna ng isang building. Gitna ng langit at lupa. Gitna ng dalawang matatabang tinapay. Gitna ng byahe papuntang disneyland. Mas gusto ko yung feeling tuwing nagbabyahe kesa doon sa nakarating ka na. Mas gusto ko yung feeling na may inaantay ka kesa doon sa nandyan na. I always like the things in between. "You only like things in between, Coreen. You only like the chase... You only want me chasing after you. You don't want to decide... Pero pakiusap naman, magdesisyon ka na, kasi tao rin naman ako, nasasaktan. And you? I don't think nararamdaman mo yung sakit na nararamdaman ko... You are just too heartless."

It was wrong to be near her. No. He shouldn't be near her. Nilalabanan ni Brandon ang kanyang sarili dahil useless ang attraction na nararamdaman niya. For him, it was all just a game.

But when Aurora Veronica wore that freaking corporate uniform, the walls he tried to build so hard came crashing down. Come on, Brandon, who are you kidding? The girl looked innocent but she's damn hot with those killer heels. It probably won't hurt that much. After all, it's just a game. It's just a game. Yes, it's just a game. Just one night. One night. It only takes one night to believe all the lies.
