That's What They Told Me
Lumi-as someone who's being told what to believe and hope in everything as she grows up-reckons that living is a way to comply with and entrust one's entire life to serving superiors on top of the hierarchy. Who will not think of that way anyway? Being harbored in the lands of Castellanos, it is engraved in her mind that she lives to pay her debt of gratitude to the family who sheltered her, who protected her from all the cruelties the outside world has to offer behind those fences. What they're doing is to protect her life and welfare-that's what they told her. So there's no other way to live but be the gullible and obedient yokel of the Castellano clan, because they're doing everything just for her safety. But that's before her life turns upside-down as she discovers a strange note from the attic. "To whoever finds this message, they erased us. This is all that remains. Remember us, please." What does the note want to convey? Is it just one of those mundane trivial stuff found in an attic like the usual when someone decides to clean it? Or is it something connected to her... "safety?" For sure it is for her safety. That's what they always tell her. But what one hears is not always the version of reality. Most of the time, it is the most convenient scheme to twist and bend the truth. That... That's what they will never tell her. --- Start: July 01, 2020 End: December 02, 2020Complete
Across the Crosswalk
Crosswalk, sino nga bang hindi pa na experienced ang lumakad at tumawid dito? Palagi natin itong ginagawa o palagi nating dinadaanan kung tatawid sa kalsada. Kadalasan may nakatayong poste ng mga traffic lights, at kapag nasa ilaw na nito kung senyales na bang tatawid tayo ay, magsisimula na tayong lumakad o maghihintay pa ng ilang minuto bago ang pagkakataon nating lumakad at pumunta sa destinasyon natin. Marami tayong iba't ibang memorya sa mga crosswalk bilang pedestrian pero ang akin? Ano lang naman... When we were younger we used to cross our paths on the crosswalk in the road as pedestrians. And now? I don't know if we still had a chance to walk and passed the crosswalk together again. Marami ng nagbago at baka nakatadhana lang talaga na mag kukrus lang ang landas namin sa tuwing dadaan kami sa mga crosswalks. At wala kang pagpipilian kung hindi sabihin na lang ang mga katagang alam mong malabong mangayri sa mga panahon ngayon na magkalayo na kayo, at nga katagang iyon ay magmamarka na lang sa isip na hanggang sana, at pangarap na lamang. "Till our pedestrian hearts will cross at the crosswalk again..."

He felt like he had forgotten how to be happy, constantly questioning why she left.

After 2 years she returned, hesitant to cross paths with him. She was well aware of the pain she had caused. It didn't surprise her that he had become a mayor-she always knew he was passionate about it. She had even once promised to move to Pasig just to support him and witness firsthand how he would lead a city. They were never just friends, yet they never quite became lovers aswell. It has always been something in between.

When she was young, the people whom she cherished and loved the most, died, leaving her in a state of pure sorrow and grief. When she recovered, she thought that everything would fall into its proper places as she had already met the man she thought she would spend the rest of her life with- but she was wrong. A situation occurred that forced her to make a foolish decision. She thought that the best way to fix her problem was to leave and escape reality. She walked away, convinced that it was the only solution to her problems. Days, weeks, months and years pass by. She returned with a shattered soul from the past. She wanted to fill in the missing pieces in her heart, and she believes that she'll only be able to do that if she can get the forgiveness of the people she'd left hanging in the past- especially the man that she loves. Will she be able to finish her task without tearing and breaking apart? Will she be able to find a peaceful life and faultless love before time runs out? And would that person be the same man from her past, or would it be a different man to fulfill the true love that she's looking for? WATTPADOLOGY WINNER SELF-PUBLISHED (2021)Complete
