I saw a girl in black with a long red silky hair. She's facing backwards, i cannot see her.

I'm running towards her. Eyes full of tears and breathing heavily because of the fatigue caused by running, but I am willing to be with her even if it cost me my life.

As I was near, I saw her facing on my direction but as I look to see her face, I felt the ground breaking and I..I suddenly fell.

"Ahhhhhh"

I woke up screaming, panting and with a chest pain.

I drank the water beside my bed as i was clearing my thoughts.

"Her face.. I want to see her face"

Maybe if i sleep again, I'll see her face..

*Baby, baby blue eyes
Stay with me by myside
Till' the morning, through the night*

My phone's ringing..
But i cant find it.. Its still ringing, maybe its important..

*find*
*find*
*find*

finally, under my bed..

"ohw.. what a restless sleep haha"

Its my mom.

"Hey mom, whats up ?" I asked her.

"Moon, I need you here in the company. I want to hear your whereabouts about something." mother said.

"Ok, I'll be there in a minute."

Hey there ! Im Moon Garcia. Tall, white and handsome. Haha kidding. I own a condominium here at BGC Taguig, Philippines. I have a family ofcourse, not my own though.. I still leave with my mom, dad, and other siblings.. Ayoko lang kasama sila sa bahay kasi my siblings are very noisy and always want to go to my room kaya nagmakaawa ako kay dad na bilhan ako ng condominium, syempre I'll work for it in our company daw..

I have three siblings with me, so make it four.. we are four siblings..

Sunny, the oldest one, 31 yrs of age, married at 28 yrs old in the United states and got divorced at 30 yrs old.

Moon, thats me ofcourse, 26 yrs of age, adventurous blood, and always seeking my curiosity.. hehe its for fun you know..

Star, my one and only baby sister, 16 yrs of age.. she's still a baby to me though.. she's very cute and very dependent.

Cloud, my baby brother.. the youngest of all, 3 yrs of age. Nag pahabol pa si papa ng lalaki.. though very delicate yung pag bubuntis sa kanya ni mommy kasi 53 na sya non, menopausal baby daw si Cloud.

Our names are weird right ?? All heavenly bodies.. Well our mom really admires the sky.. thats why..

My mom's name is Virginia.
My dad's name is Slate.

Dad owns an entertainment company called "Slate Entertainment", but its not for showbizness rather it specializes with reading entertainment.. books, magazines and news paper.

We have plenty of writers, artists and journalists in the company.. they all have there columns in magazines, newpaper and books.

Sa kakawento ko sa inyo, andito na pala ko sa may pintuan ng office ni dad.. pasok muna ko..

"Moon !!! The NGSG !!"
-Sunny said.

yes, you read that right, I never really wanted a girlfriend, because I never fell inlove pa.. you know ? I want my first to be my last. It maybe cheezy, but thats what i want hehe.

"Sunny !! The failed marriage life !!"
-i answered back !

"hahahahahaha"
-we bought laugh..

We're close as siblings.. even if we dont really connect that much.

"Stop it.. Its irritating."
-Mom and dad spoke in unison

and we laughed harder haha

Mom just rolled her eyes.

"Moon, come here.
I want you to look at this" Dad said

Lumapit ako kay dad and he handed over yung picture na hawak nya..

I felt my heart bursting, hnd ko alam kung bakit, parang kilala ko sya pero hnd..

I saw a person in a black hooded dress. It seems like a girl because of its little curve in the waist. The dress was pretty long that you wont see her feet.. And hindi mo din makikita yung mukha nya kasi nakatalikod sya.

"Who is she??" I asked

"Aria, they call her aria." Dad replied

"All the person in that baryo says she's very mysterious, according syempre sa nag bigay nyan dito na taga doon din. She's harmless pero walang may gustong lumapit sa kanya, kausapin sya or kilalanin sya, it seems that they are afraid of her. Wala pa ring nakakakita ng mukha nya because of the hood, they never saw her buying or eating something. But she always stare at the moon in the same spot. They said that, that spot was a very exquisite spot to view the moon." Sunny added

"Pano nyo nalaman name nya if walang kumakausap sa kanya?" I asked

"Well, they said that a man called Rey in that barrio tried to follow her in to the woods, he saw her talking to a shadow and that shadow called her Aria but as soon as he blinked, Aria's gone already." Sunny replied

"I see, kaya takot sila kasi sa gubat nakatira and nawawala agad malingat lang." I added

"Yes, exactly and hindi lang basta malingat, in just a blink, nawawala agad." -Sunny

It's really weird, I know its weird pero gusto kong puntahan tong baryong to.. i want to see her..

"Saan to dad ??" I ask

"Sa Barrio Malipot in Bicol"

(i dont really know what to name the baryo kaya malipot na lang, means malamig in bicol language.. writer here)

Bicol ? Layo pala..

"I want you to go there, You're very adventurous and you are the only one who can do this.. consider it as the payment in your condominium." dad said

ohw.. two birds in one stone haha..

"Go there and report to me everything about this.. I want this as one of our documentary stories. clear ??" dad added

"Yes dad. Copy. But dont forget my allowance for this ok ? haha" I replied

"I'll book your flight tomorrow." dad added
