“Aren’t you coming with us?” said by the usual high-pitched voice that would definitely be her signature tone.




I looked up and saw Jesse, who was carrying a pile of folder on her right and a designer bag on the other. She was ready to leave the office as she tapped my shoulder


“It’s raining pretty hard and Gail’s offering a ride. Aren’t you coming?”







My eyes automatically landed in the clear glass window nearest to my desk and indeed, it was raining cats and dogs. I turned my direction back to Jesse and said


“Nah, I think I’ll finish this thing first and then off I go”






“We could wait for you down the lobby. For sure, Gail wont mind”


“Oh! that’s really sweet but I don’t wanna be a hassle. Just go on. I’ll be fine” I said as I flashed her a genuine smile






She returned the smile and grinned at me
“Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow then?” She said and leaned down to give me a sweet friendly beso



“Yeah. See you!” I said as I watched her walked at the opposite door to the elevator.






I was still working on the last paper when the thunder roared pretty loud. Too loud that I have to cover my ears with both of my hands







“Mama, Why is the sky crying?”




“Nina, The sky isn’t crying .. its called rain” A sweet smile was painted across the woman’s blurry face.
I can’t make out the details on her feature but one thing’s for sure .. her smile brings the warm in my heart




Then suddenly, the little girl heard another roar from the sky. A thunder followed by a ferocious light that engulf the whole dark sky which made the little girl tighten her grip on her older sister’s arm





“Why is the sky sound so angry, Mama?”



The woman turned around once again from the front seat and patted the head of her child affectionately. She smiled genuinely before she tucked the unsteady locks behind the ear of her youngest child




“Don’t be scared my angel. Mama and Papa are here for you” She said





“Yeah! Don’t be scared, Nina. Ate Rima is here too” The older child, by merely 2 minutes, uttered to her scared sister and locked her tightly into her arms to assure her that its safe




“Shit!” The man cursed as he tried to maneuver the car’s wheel trying to dodge the drunk driver of the white Honda civic.





“That was close, Nicollo. The road’s slippery cuz it rained the whole night maybe we should just stop by and--- OH DEAR LORD!!”








The woman’s eyes grew wider as she saw a 9-wheeler truck was heading on the opposite side of the dark road. The light of the truck illuminated and almost blinding the little girl’s vision





Everything happened so fast that the little girl barely knew what to do



“Rima, Open the car’s door and throw your selves outside” The woman told her eldest child
“But Mom—“
“Just do it, Rima!”



The older sibling obliged on her mother’s wishes and unbuckled the seatbelt of her sister. She acted fast as she opened their car’s door and pushed her younger sister without giving her a warning





Her older sister was about to join her outside but seatbelt was malfunctioning and can not be easily unbuckle





and the last thing she heard, aside from the loud buzzing sound of the truck crushing their car into pieces, was the loud shriek of her older sister crying for help








When I opened my eyes, a tear had fallen and rolled down my cheeks. I suddenly felt the sadness in my heart and the agony that I have forgotten for such a long time. That flashback was not as clear but it sure brought me to the sudden feeling of loneliness

I was walking alone the aisle of the empty hall to the elevator when I remembered Iñigo’s BBM






From: Iñigo (

I’ll be waiting for you no matter what ..‘til the dawn breaks. I’ll be waiting, Nina. I love you always and forever





I sighed heavily as I stopped my self from walking ..
