𝐅𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 || Mango Float o Regalo?

YOU RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE:
Ano bang mas gusto mong matanggap ngayong pasko? Mango float o regalo?

Hala, Christmas na naman? Ang bilis talaga ng oras parang naka-time lapse, naka-fastforward—at wala man lang pause button na p'wedeng pindutin kung gusto mong magpahinga muna sa mga sigawan na umaalingawngaw sa paligid, o sa mga ingay ng mabibilis na sasakyang dumaraan sa kalsadang usok lang ang iniiwan. Pero mabuti na lang at matitikman ko ulit kung gaano katamis ang mangga at graham sa mango float ni Mama sa gabing awit ni Jose Mari Chan ang yumayakap sa lahat ng pasilyo sa bahay, i-ga-gaslight ko na lang ang sarili na masaya rin ako. At kung papipiliin ako sa mango float at regalo? Sobrang obvious naman yata ng sagot sa tanong na 'yan. S'yempre mga ngiti at makikinang na mga mata mo pa rin ang hahanapin ko.

Wala na ba talaga akong matatanggap na chat mula sa 'yo, idol? Kahit isang greetings na lang ng Merry Christmas o Happy Holidays diyan. Bilisan mo na kasi! Baka makahabol pa tayo't masamahan mo pa akong magsimbang gabi na may kahawak-kamay sa simbahan. Umuwi sa bahay na may sumusubo sa 'yo ng graham bar. O baka kahalikan sa ilalim ng mistletoe sa tapat ng aming kapitbahay. At baka hindi ka na mag-isa sa ilang pasko pa ang magdaan. Hindi kasi ako iyong tipo na nang-iiwan na lang bigla sa New Year, handa akong samahan ka kahit saan pa tayo dalhin ng oras. Wala, eh, natalo mo na nga ako sa larong chess, binaliw mo pa ako ng sobra. Ngumingiti ka na naman kasi sa'kin! Ang daya mo naman, idol. Mag-chat ka naman sa'kin, h'wag lang puro nakaw-tingin. Handa naman akong buksan ang puso ko para sa 'yo, eh. Ikaw na kaya 'yan!

YOU SENT A TEXT MESSAGE:
S'yempre, siya pa rin ang hahanapin ko sa Christmas Eve.

𝐏𝐎𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐘 || Garden so free

Is this truly what I want?
Or is this something I need to have?

Why do I need to suffer in this world so cruel?
Is it not enough that i crave to fade so bad?

Please enlighten me, for I long to be free,
Free from the past mistakes I’ve caused to be.

Can I be at peace for a little time?
To escape in the gardens of mine?

Oh! What a beautiful being.
Hurting in the environment she is in.

Why does no one help this thing?
All she sought was a shoulder to lean.

But that’s okay, my dear,
You will soon to be in the garden so free.

𝐏𝐎𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐘 || Heavy Heart With A Heavy Mind

Heavy heart with a heavy mind
Tears are collecting its rhyme
Racing to fall down out of my eyes
Stock under the inner sight

Breath if you can still breath
Hush and pick up the pieces
Cry if you still have tears to dry
But your mind cannot die

Cover and cover
Don't let them hear your thunder
Silent tears are too broken for all
Will it hold for another?

Splashing dust left to right
Just to make it dry for the night
Breath heavy as you fight
And smile like it doesn't hurt your light.

𝐅𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 || Escaping Yesterday

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“I don’t know…” I answered.

It’s been days since I’ve been feeling this way, and I don’t know why. I’ve been in a constant mess, feeling like I’ve just been living because it is “required.”

‘Haha, funny,’ I thought.

But it’s not my choice, though. I didn’t choose to be here. I don’t want to be here.

“Do you ever feel like escaping?” I asked him.

“Escape from what?” he replied.

“You know… from everything, from ‘your’ life,” I added.

“Why did you ask that? I don’t know… I kinda like my life,” he said.

‘Of course you like your life, who wouldn’t? A complete, happy family. A girlfriend to be with, so many friends, and importantly, financially stable—doesn’t need to worry about everything,’ I thought in my head.

“It’s just nothing. I do want to escape, though—not from life, since we really can’t escape from it. Haha,” I laughed sarcastically. “But I want to escape from here, to live far away from these people, to a place where I am not recognized, and just live my life the way I want, the way I’m supposed to live,” I continued.

But that’s not entirely true. Yes, I want to live far away from here, but with the person I love—loved? ‘Why does my mind suddenly think of him?’ I spaced out.

“Well, you can do that. You can escape if you want. Right now, I can help you,” he said.

“What? Are you sure? Haha, don’t fool me,” I smiled at him, wondering if his offer was true or not.

“Yes, I am sure, but with one condition,” he replied.

Why am I having second thoughts? This is what I want, right? Right?

“What condition?” I asked.

“It’s simple. I want you to fulfill your goals, to satisfy yourself. I want to see you happy, and if the only way I can see you happy is to escape and live far away, then I’ll help you,” he said.

I looked at him. He looked so serious, like there was something in him, some shift in his aura.

“I am happy here, but sure,” I said. But something’s bothering my mind.

“No, you’re not,” he said, looking straight into my eyes.

“…” I paused.

We locked eyes on each other, feeling the tension between us. Then I looked away, breaking the tension between us.

‘Not gonna lie, this place is beautiful,’ I thought to myself as I looked over the horizon.

The bright blue sky, the sound of waves, the seagulls’ noise—I will surely miss this.

“So… when are you gonna go?” he asked.

“Well, I need to say goodbye first, haha,” I said jokingly.

“Of course, haha… of course,” he said, smiling while looking beyond the sea.

‘God, he is handsome,’ I thought.

I looked at him, looked at myself, ‘so I’m really doing this, haha.’ I looked at him again, then at the horizon.

“I’m sorry… I wanted to stay, but we know we can’t. I can’t just live like this. No matter how much I’ll wait for you, there’s always one ending, and it will always be between you and me…” I said, my voice breaking.

I looked at him, then at the sea.

“I really wanted it to be you, though, but it’s time now. It is time for me to be free, to escape from this feeling,” I slowly looked at him.

‘What a beautiful, tragic love,’ I thought. I smiled at him, a different smile than before. I then looked at the sky again. ‘What a beautiful sunset. Sunset in the sea always never fails me. It’s always a reminder that even endings can be beautiful.’

I smiled at myself and took the courage to say something, this time a reassurance—acceptance of everything.

“I’m sorry. I love you today, I loved you yesterday, and hopefully, I won’t love you tomorrow. Goodbye,” I said loudly, feeling like the wind carried the words I had just spoken.

I looked at my side again, at him, and there he was, slowly fading in the air. ‘Thank you for helping me escape,’ I mouthed.

From now on, I’ll be free—escaping the shadows of my past that have haunted me for too long. It’s time to bury the life I once knew. Thank you…

𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 || "Winter Love of Ber Months"

The onset of the “ber" months—September, October, November, December—ushered in a peculiar chill in veins. Unlike the previous months, weather subtly change in constant, it was as if in a flip of time it swift in coldness. And so, the frosting weather cloaks the sun and blankets everybody's skin.

In this unusual frigidness, people who were once warm and open now exude introspection and reflection, their hearts evidently touched by the frosty air. Amid them are the emotions of two old friends meeting again began to embark. Despite the coldness of weather, Santa breaks the ice of their hearts. Their deep yet platonic bond started to feel warmth in the start of ber months. As the bone-chilling seeped, they spend more time together drawn in grooving each other's company. Conversations grew longer and became intimate, as if the outrage raptured something within them.

As the cold higher its mood, so did the twinkling eyes of the woman that was told. She found herself staring at him in a new way, she knows it wasn't easy to dismiss as mere friendship or, herself, she'll betray. One of them holds a comfortable silence but now replace by the unspoken tension that was buried for years. The man, too, felt the shift but doubting to kept him from voicing the feeling that swirled within him. Afraid of shattering the bond they have always known for a lot of winters and summer.

As they sat beyond the fire, the man hesitantly holds the woman's hand. Afraid of what her next move would be, go away or stay. The touch, so simple yet holds a deep meaning, the chills that they felt made a spark with its heart. In that moment, they knew something's coming up. The feeling that infused their emotions thawed out of the blue, realizing that what they had been feeling is love—not a merely friendship love but romantically, that long hidden beneath the surface and explode by the cold breeze of ber months.

Two old friends embraced the changes brought by the lingering chill, transforming their relationship from unsettling to a deep love that would warm them through even the coldest winters. Without warning from the clear blue sky, the weather changes to winter as the relationship of them became stronger—to lover. Well the summer may be too fast, but one time you thought it would last.

𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 || ELEVATOR

Ako si Ana, isang studyante sa isang sikat na unibersidad sa Manila, papasok na ako sa campus ng pagtingin ko sa orasan ko ay 6:27 pm na.

"shocksss, male-late na ako."

Dali-dali akong tumakbo at humahangos na dumating sa tapat ng elevator, saktong-sakto at pa sarado na yon buti nalang nakita ako ni Paul. Classmate ko sya nung high school kami. Mapagbiro sya at alam ko lahat ng mga kabulastugan nya dati, napailing nalang ako ng maalala ko yun lahat.

"Tuloy po kayo, what floor ma'am?" pagbibiro nya pa kasabay ng mahinang tawa. Napangiwi ako at ngumisi din kalaunan.

"Di ka parin nagbabago", saad ko pa sa kanya.

Kami lang dalawa ni Paul sa loob ng elevator pero di ko parin maiwasang pagpawisan ng malamig. Ewan ko, siguro dahil sa katotohanang late na ako, sa major subject pa talaga napaka terror pa naman ni Mrs. Batumbakal kaya naman napa buntong hininga nalang ako.

Ting...

"Tuloy po kayo, What floor sir?"
napaangat ako ng tingin at tiningnan ang nakabukas na elevator. Napakunot ang noo ko ng makitang wala namang tao. Nagkibit balikat nalang ako.

"Ikaw talaga Paul tinatakot mo ba ako?" tipid nalang akong tumawa para di mahalata ang takot, kasi naman hindi magandang biro to.
Tawa lang ang tinugon sakin ni Paul at sumara na ulit ang elevator.

Ting...
3rd floor...

Gaya nung ginawa ni Paul kanina,

"Tuloy po kayo, What floor ma'am, sir?" dun naramdaman ko ng may pumasok kaya sa isip ko hindi na yun biro nakakapagtaka lang, mahigit 2 minutes na pero di ko parin naramdaman na sumarado ang elevator kaya pag angat ko nagulat ako.

Tumunog ang elevator, LOADED daw.

"Paanong loaded, eh tayo lang naman dalawa" utal at wala sa sariling tanong ko kay Paul ramdam ko ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko at tumayo na ang balahibo sa mga braso ko, ang lamig na rin ng nararamdaman ko pero pinagpapawisan ako ng malala.

"Sabi sayo eh" tiningnan ako ni Paul na nakangisi, ang creepy.

𝐏𝐎𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐘 || The Vampire

You chased me out of the wilderness,
'Til I'm weakened and gave it up.
I knew you have that wickedness.
Yet I let you suck me up.

When I saw you crave for more,
I had the will to give it all.
I bleed, and then I pour.
But who would have known it was a pitfall?

I thought I was smart enough,
to think that you'd give more back.
But overtime, you became rough.
I could barely get a single smile of luck.

I was red, but you sucked me till I'm blue.
Oh, how could you give me such torture?
I failed to know there was a clue,
You’re a vampire and my greatest failure.
