SEISHA EVANGELINE MONICA:

Unang bumungad sa aking pag gising ang disenyo ng aking kisame, dito sa kwarto ko. This is the first thing I scan my eyes at and stare at it for I do not know how long. Matagal na akong mahilig sa ganiyang disenyo: minimalistic style.

That was the only thing that remained in my life after all I've been through. The moon is always guiding me, giving light at my darkest hour and leading me to the limelight. Hindi ko kinakalidtaan na batiin ito tuwing nakikita ko siya.

'Goodmorning, Mother.'

I slowly change my gaze to the other side of the bed. There he lies, sleeping peacefully with that disheveled hair and calm expressions. Nakayakap ang isang bisig niya sa akin at komportableng natutulog.

Kung ganito lang sana kakalmado ang mukha niya, marami ang mahuhulog. This snobber Prince sure knows how to use his time and ignore those he does not want to have any conversation with. Him sleeping was one of the moments I will never forget.

Iba kasi ito kung tulog: maamo ang mukha, kalmado at walang tensyon. He has one of those rare people who are gifted with perfect complexions.

Sa haba ng pilit-mata nito ay nagkakaroon ng lalim ang mata niya, isali pa ang ganda ng kulay ng mga mata nito: mapapatitig ka talaga.

'I wish it was always like this'.

Dahan-dahan kong tinanggal ang pagkakahawak niya at mahinang umalis sa kama. Gumalaw ito ng konti pero hindi siya nagising kaya napa buntong-hininga ako. I fixed my nightgown before I left the room.

Nagsuot na din ako ng roba habang nilalandas ang pasilyo ng aking mansyon. The lights are off, the maids are asleep, but there are few stationed guards waiting for their shift to end.

Even walking in this thin cloth, I cannot feel the cold air emitted by the wind when I got out. Diretso lamang ang lakad ko kahit madilim ang kalangitan.

Hindi ko na natingnan kung ano ang oras ngayon dahil ayoko mag-aksaya ng panahon. Mararamdaman ni lucius na wala ako sa tabi niya at magsisimulang hanapin ako kaya kailangan kong magmadali.

Hindi naman ako tumatakas at wala naman akong ibang pupuntahan kundi siya lang.

Nakarating ako sa sapa na nasa gubat na pagmamay-ari ng tagapagmana ng Zegordia. Nilandas ko ang distansya ng walang bahid na takot.

The moss was always wet due to the flowing water, and my feet felt cold for the first time.

Hindi ako nagsuot ng sapatos para walang ingay akong magagawa. Lumilinga ako sa paligid at tinantya na walang ibang tao maliban sa akin.

When I finally feel secure that I am alone, I look up and stare at the moon. In another moment, someone spoke, "This world you have right now is a hoax, just a product of a loop that was made when the memoir was violated. This world does not exist in the real world, for it is a fixed timeline of tribulations who are bound to begin and end, repetitively."

The curse of the Clandestine Memoir created this world. Cursed these people and made it look realistic. When I commit the same mistake in the end, the timeline will collapse, and a new repetition will begin.

Paulit-ulit, at hindi natitibag kahit malaman man ng lahat ang daloy ng kwento. Kahit may pumigil at gumamit ng dahas para hindi ito manyayari, sa lakas ng sumpa walang sinuman sa bawat tribulasyon ang nagwagi.
