To be honest, he’s worried. He knows the feeling of losing a loved one because he had been through it before, wh
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 53 - THE MALL
A week later... Ferran recovered and was discharged to the hospital. Blair went back to school as well but she seemed spaced out after everything happened to her family.“Our lesson for today is... Philippine history. You!” Miss Valdez, their history teacher again, pointed her finger at one of Trestan’s classmates. “What are the three countries that invaded the Philippines?”“Uhm... S-Spain... The U-United States, and Japan, Miss.” His classmate, Sunny Montes answered.“How many years did Spain colonize the Philippines?”“Three hundred... Three hundred...” Sunny can’t remember what she read last night.“Three hundred thirty-three years,” Trestan mumbled but he had no intention to coach his classmate but Sunny heard him and immediately answered.“Three hundred thirty-three years, miss.”“How about the United States?” Miss Valdez raised her eyebrow to make her more intimidating.“Hm... Uhm...” She didn’t know and there, she glanced at Trestan who did not look at her.“Alfarez, stand up!
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 54 - THE CULPRIT
“It’s the V Mall.”“How---”“---It was the only mall that has three floors in San Lorenzo,” Sanchez rationalized his thoughts.“What is the motive? Why did a bomb explode there?” Ferran said while trying to analyze everything in his head. That big question made them silent.+++“Boss---”“Don’t talk. I need time to think.” He clenched his fist and stuck his office table with his hand. “That Vergara is very audacious to compete with us. He doesn’t know what I can do to bring him down in a blink of an eye.” He laughed evilly. “Send our three men to his mall and put a bomb on a crowded day. Maybe, during their sale. Let’s see if he can handle those who’ll get affected.”“Noted, boss.” His secretary left him in his office alone to do what he ordered.“No one can get in my way. I will be the most powerful person in the world.”He contacted his accountant and trusted men to hear an update about the 78% of the organization’s income but no progress because of the code they can’t decrypt.He
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 55 - THE BOMB
Trestan just entered the mall to buy an important book he needed because the bookstore where he buys the book is in the mall. Someone was calling him.“Hello, Mrs. Santos?”“Your sister’s asthma is attacking her again. I can’t find her inhaler.” Mrs. Santos informed him. He always left her sister in the neighborhood especially when he needed to go somewhere.“There’s an extra inhaler in her school bag, Mrs. Santos. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll be right back when I bought what I needed.”“No problem, Trestan. Besides, I like to take care of your sister. She’s really a sweet girl.”“Thank you, Mrs. Santos.” And the call ended.He immediately went to the second floor where the bookstore was located then he searched for a particular book about Bombs. Well, he wanted to learn more about bombs because he is somehow interested in it. He remembered when he was a ten-year-old boy, his mother taught her how to deactivate a bomb. What wires needed to cut and needed to avoid.When he fo
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 56 - THE WOUND
The bombs exploded.A part of the mall was shaken because the bomb detonated from the second floor. The surroundings became dusty and smoky. Almost nothing can be seen in any part of the mall due to the thickness of the dust from the destroyed concrete walls and floors.Many people got injured and some of them died because of the unexpected event. The cry of the citizen calling for help was heard.Ferran successfully threw the bomb into the air and nothing was damaged by that bomb. He sighed in relief and breathed in and breathed out for some air. He almost ran out of breath due to running toward the exit earlier. He planned to rest for a while but he realized that Sanchez was still inside.“Sh*t.” He inhaled deeply and entered the ruined mall to find Sanchez. Even though he was not sure if it was safe to go inside, he did not care. “Sanchez! Sanchez!”He saw some wounded people inside but not as much as in his dream and the situation is not nearly as bad.“Help! Help my mother! She g
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 57 - THE HERO
There are so many people outside the mall. Many rescues have also arrived earlier. Rescuers immediately approached Ferran TO put Trestan on the folding stretcher and take him to the ambulance van.“Trestan!” Blair neared them and held Trestan’s hand. She was crying again.“Excuse me! Excuse me!” A voice was heard somewhere. It was Timotheus Alfarez who wanted to confirm if it’s his son and he was right! “T-Trestan.” His face became pale, worried about his son’s condition. “Let’s take him to the hospital.” He said and went with the ambulance. He did not even notice Ferran who took Trestan out of the mall because he wanted to take the child to the hospital immediately. Ferran just watched the departing ambulance while his arm was on Blair’s shoulder. Someone tapped his shoulder and he looked at the person. “Don’t worry much. He’ll be fine.” Sanchez said while he was still carrying the little girl on his arm because the child doesn’t want to let go of him.Ferran sighed heavily and t
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 58 - THE ICE CREAM
“Ehem... May I talk to you for a second, Trestan?” The doctor caught their attention. They left Blair and talked far away from her. The doctor put his arm on Trestan’s shoulder.“Do you like that girl, huh?” Dr. De Vega asked with a smirk on his face. Trestan creased his forehead but Dr. De Vega just laughed at him because of his epic facial expression. “Don’t take it seriously. Haha. I’m just kidding.” He said while tapping the boy’s shoulder.Trestan rolled his eyes and he was about to remove the doctor’s arm but the doctor stopped him. “Just kidding. How’s your wound?”“It’s healing.”“Don’t force yourself.” The doctor tapped his shoulder. “By the way, I’m observing something.” Trestan didn’t say anything but he was waiting for an explanation about the doctor’s observation. Dr. De Vega removed his arm on Trestan’s shoulder and faced him. “I’m observing the blood of those who were injected by Dr. Garcia’s antidote.”“Why? I thought it’s already done.”“I’m just checking on some
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 59 - THE YEAR-END
“Mom.” It was like a whisper but he caught the professor’s attention.“Are you saying something?” The professor asked. “Don’t you like the flavor?”He just shook his head and focused on eating his ice cream. He was finished and just waiting for the two when his phone rang.“Hey! Where are you? I called Mrs. Santos but you’re not at home.” His dad worriedly asked.“We’re in an ice cream shop, dad. Cally wanted ice cream so we bought her some.”“We? And who’s with you?”“With... Uhm... Our professor which Cally mistook as mom.” He said in a low voice. For a second, there was silence on the other line. “Dad? Still there?”“Y-Yeah. I’m patrolling near an ice cream shop and I saw your bike behind a pickup car.”“If you want, you can drop by here.” Trestan offered.“Ah. No. I’m on my duty.”“Ah, yeah. Well, then. Take care, dad.”“You too.”“You wanna talk with Cally?”“Sure.” He responded while looking at them from the other side of the road.“Dad wants to talk to you.” Trestan handed his
