Chapter 19
“Sigurado ba kayong wala na kayong nakalimutan?” tanong ng Lola ni Mayari sa kanila.
They’re going back to Basco today and unfortunately, Chloe received a call from her parents that they have an emergency and she need to go back to Manila. Mayari told her that they can come home with her but Chloe insisted, telling them to enjoy their remaining days in Basco.
“Oh siya, anak, mag-ingat ha? Ikumusta mo na lang ako sa mga kapatid mo,” bilin ng Lola ni Mayari at bahagyang hinaplos ang pisngi niya.
“I will, Lola. Mag-ingat rin kayo rito. Sa susunod na balik ko isasama ko na sila Michael,” saad niya at yumakap sa kaniyang Lola.
Sakto namang may dumating na tricycle kaya’t sumakay na sina Mayari rito.
Bahagya na lamang niyang tinanaw ang kanilang bahay hanggang sa mawala ito sa paningin niya.
“Can we visit Angela? Just to say goodbye?” Apollo asked.
He and Angela doesn’t have a certain connection except that he has her Father’s memory

Letters to the love that never came home The Third Eclipse
‘I do believe in multiverse, resurrections, aliens and other things that we haven’t discovered yet. Maraming pruweba para patunayan ang mga bagay na ‘yon but we chose to ignore those, why? Perhaps, we are blinded by the thing we called “reality” or we’re stuck inside this world where things that are considered “fantasy” are the real thing. Hindi ko rin alam, napapa-isip na lang din ako minsan... those people na tinatawag nating “baliw” pa’no kung sila ang nakakakita ng isang daang pursyento ng katotohanan tungkol sa mundo? Baka masyado tayong normal kaya't limitado lang din sa “normal” ang nakikita natin. Halimbawa na lang, resurrections, maniniwala ba tayo sa mga taong nagsasabi na naaalala nila ang past life nila? No. Instead, we’re going to treat them as someone who have lost their minds. Deja vu? When there’s a specific smell na sigurado tayong pamilyar sa’tin, alam natin kung anong amoy ‘yon pero hindi natin matukoy kung saan galing, kanino and why do

He went downstairs and see his Dad holding a newspaper and while having his coffee. “I heard hindi ka na naman pumapasok sa klase mo? Ano bang plano mo sa buhay?” his Dad asked as soon as he sat down on the table. “Dad, please naman, ang aga aga. Don’t nag at me first thing in the morning,” he irritably said. “Maaga? It almost 11 o’clock Apollo when will you learn to be responsible sa oras at sa buhay mo like your--” “Like my brothers?” Apollo interrupted what his father was about to say. “Hijo, I’m just saying that you should be more responsible. Hindi ka na bumabata, anak,” his Dad added. “Hindi mo ‘ko nakikitang nage-excel sa career ko kasi paulit ulit mong pinupuna kung ano yung mga bagay na hindi ko kayang gawin. Unfair ka, Dad. Sana si Mama na lang yung naiwan dito!” he shouted and banged his hands on the table. His voice echoed in the four walls

Mayari was awakened by a loud knock on her door, she rubbed her eyes and slowly walked outside. She didn’t bother looking in the mirror or wash her face because the knock sounds urgent. “Ms. Torres?” a guy in suit and tie greets her, behind him was a small middle-aged lady “Uhm, yes? Ano po ‘yon?” she asked “We will just leave a notice that you must vacate this apartment before the end of the month,” the guy said and hand her an envelope Her eyes widened with the guy's statement and checked the papers inside the envelope handed to her, she just woke up and still feels hazy to process the information written. “Sorry I must be spacing out, I just woke up. Can you please repeat what you just said?” she asked again, trying to convince herself that she heard it wrong. “Attorney, ako na po,” Sumingit ang babae sa likuran nito “Hi, Mayari, you might not remember me but we’ve met before.

Mayari came home from the coffee shop, tears immediately fell down the moment she closed her front door. She looked around the apartment, this is the last thing with her parent’s memories; she grew up here. On the side of the doorway were the scratches her mom made to monitor their heights, the last scratch was five years ago—before her parents died. The phonograph that her Dad gave her mom as a birthday present was still there, it looks old now. They use to play their wedding song there and dance in the living room, setting aside their furniture and dance like crazy. That’s weird for her when she was younger but it all made sense now. That’s what love looks like. Most of the things turned grey covered with dust. She’s been too busy with her life to at least sweep the floor and clean their stuff. She walked towards the couch and lay down, she used to sleep here when she was a kid and everything feels like magic when she wakes up in her bed in the morning. She u
