Chapter Sixty-Four
Her world was spinning, it felt like she was in a brink of passing out or getting more and more detached in her sober state.
The white walls were spinning between her eyes as she ran through the hallways, trying to keep in mind where the location of the emergency room was.
And somehow, it must be a crazy thing to say, but the white walls seemed to be taunting her. It wasn’t the exact hospital where she found her parents dead, but it was like it knew her history, it knew the demons that had been sleeping under her bed, it knew how she feared being in there.
She didn’t even notice that Raphael was running after her as well, and she didn’t even notice how the eyes of the people she passed to widen after recognizing her, because there was only one thing that was repeating inside her mind over and over again.
‘Let Ngel be safe, let Ngel be safe.’
It was indeed true what people said about life, that it could be taken from a

Waiting felt like a drag, and it was that period of time when the body would realize the exhaustion that it should’ve felt by now, and she really did feel the exhaustion even when what she did was only wait.They were already inside the hospital room, waiting in silence for Ngel to have consciousness.There was a huge bandage wrapped around his head and part of his arms. There were also wounds and bruises all over his body, especially his face, but the doctor said that none of those were lethal. They said that he was lucky he was in that part of the accident where he didn’t receive that much of an impact from the colliding cars or else, his body wouldn’t even be in one piece, just like what they said to the two unfortunate victims.She didn’t even wan
The Second Time Around Chapter Sixty-Six
Timothee often thought about her love language after she learned about it way back in college. As far as she knew, there were five love languages. Words of encouragement, spending time, getting presents, acts of service, and physical contact were five various methods of showing and receiving love. Not everyone expressed love in the same manner, and not everyone liked to receive love in the same way. That was probably the reason why her relationship with Raphael lasted for years. They had almost the same love languages, which are words of encouragement and physical contact. She learned that when a couple shared the same love languages, there would be a high chance that the relationship would last or that they would really end up together. However, it didn’t mean that a couple who didn’t have the same love languages wouldn’t end up together.For Timothee who had been in a long-term relationship, it was way easier to understand your partner

They were already squeezing themselves on the sofa while the kids were sitting on the stools available inside the hospital room.It had already been thirty minutes since they arrived, but Ngel had yet to wake up. Celestine had also excused herself as she went out to get themselves cups of coffee.“I really wanted to visit you, dear, even told Ngel about it, but he said that it’s best for me not to.” She let out a sigh before squeezing her hand. “It must’ve been hard for you. I know how hard you worked just to be an amazing artist, which you have always been already, but if things seem so hard for you, it’s never wrong to let go of something that has been doing you harm.”She couldn’t help but smile when she heard that. She just nodded, and didn’t say anything as she remembered those times when Ngel’s mother had been treating her as if she was her own daughter.The truth was, they even told her th

Timothee had drifted off to sleep without her noticing, her eyelids finally closed even when she was already fighting the urge to do so as she didn't want to miss Ngel waking up.it wasn't a dreamless sleep.In her dream, it was like a memory. In there, she was sitting inside a familiar. She would never forget the car because of the scent of it that was already stuck at the back of her mind. The lemony scent that was lingering in the air embraced her with nostalgia.She was no control of her body as her head turned towards the guy who was driving. She immediately recognized the scenario, the memory, but there was nothing that she could do to change how things would turn out.She memorized the memory like she memorized the back of her hand.That was when Raphael wanted to show her the surprise that he had been keeping from her, the land where they would bui

“You’re awake,” she said in disbelief. When she turned her head to look at the rest of the room, she saw that it was only her who was in there. She didn’t exactly know where his family was, but by the looks of the time on the clock, it seemed like they grabbed dinner.It was only the two of them.His eyes were loud, loud in a sense that they were trying to communicate a lot of things to her, but they were too loud for her to understand what he meant to say.Somehow, she couldn’t even help but miss those times when things weren’t complicated between the both of them, when it still wasn’t hard to read his mind.Things were already different. Way different than before.“And you’re awake as well,” he said before letting out a small smile in his face that immediately made her chest flutter.She tried her best to gather her composure back before clearing her throat. She was po

His stares were even more intense after she said that. It was even like the tension inside the room was even more evident, as if she hadn't said the same thing before, as if he wasn't expecting her to talk that way.Was that really how he viewed her?Was she really that bad of a friend that it wa surprising for her to talk about stuff like that?She heard him let out a sigh, making her raise her head to meet his eyes. She saw that there was already a hint of sadness in there, making her chest pang in a sudden wave of sadness as well. For a moment, she was afraid that he was gonna bring up anything about what happened, why the accident happened, because the truth was, she didn't want to hear about that.She didn't want to hear that she might actually be the reason why that accident happened, although it was already clear that it wasn't the case because accidents were meant to beacciden

Her heart was loud and clear that the beating of it was even deafening already. She said it. She already said it. All the confusion that she felt during those times when things were still way too hard for her to handle, when destiny was like trying to destroy her life, was all now washed away.It was now crystal clear. It was like she was already watching her reflection in a clear body of water, and there was no turning back already. She had already said what she had to say, and no matter what the outcome was, she knew, deep inside her heart, that what she said was the truth.Ngel was already about to say something when the door of the hospital room opened and Celestine and the rest of their family came in. Surprise was evident in their faces when they stopped talking and saw that the guy was already awake, st

Why should love be so complicated?She tightly held her cup of coffee as she walked towards the railings of the rooftop, overlooking the view of the busy city nightlife. She chugged it down as she felt the night breeze brushing against her skin as the warm drink flowed down her throat.She took the time just staring at the view, taking time to breathe properly. Inhale, exhale. It had been a tiring day for sure, but her body still felt like she was in an adrenaline rush. Maybe it was because of the coffee, but her heart was already beating so fast that she was already catching her breath.Turning her head, she saw that there was a trash bin in the corner, which she immediately used to throw her empty coffee cup to before walking back towards the railings of the rooftop.Luckily, she was only alone there, and luckily, she wasn’t afraid of hospital ghosts, if there were any, because she couldn’t possibly stay there if she were the opposite.
