Previously: After hearing encouragement from Theo and Golda, Molly woke up a little bit more encouraged compared to the other day. Her editor called to remind her about the book that she must write in order to revive her writing career but Molly's beginning to be pressured because she doesn't know where to start. Suddenly, she received a message from Garnet and the two met. Unfortunately, Molly and Garnet argued because the latter wants her to stop living for the dead. Molly walked away, accidentally meeting Blake, and a teenage girl approached Molly to take a photo with her. Surprisingly, Molly saw the boy she saw before who was wearing a 'Your Dream is Not Dead' shirt, the girl claimed him as her brother.

Chapter 14: The Children of Damgo

[Theo's POV]

THE number you have dialed is unattended . . .

I sighed and gave up trying to dial my wife's number after a few attempts. Tumayo ako at naglakad-lakad para subukang sumagap ng mas malakas na signal saka ko ulit tinawagan si Galilee pero nabigo pa rin ako.

"Good Lord," bulong ko sa sarili ko sabay tanggal sa baseball cap sa aking ulo. Saka ko lang naramdaman ang tumatagaktak kong pawis at tila bagong ligo tuloy ako.

Bumalik ako sa kinaroroonan ko kanina, wala namang nagtangkang kumuha sa isang maleta na dala ko.

Kaninang umaga lang ako nakapagpaalam sa mga kasama kong volunteers na umalis pabalik ng Maynila, nagulat nga sila dahil biglaan daw at ni hindi pa nga ako nakakapagturo o nakakapag-share man lang sa kanila. Iyon na nga ang matagal ko nang ipinagtataka dahil ang pagkakaalam ko ay kaya ako naimbitahan na sumama sa kanila rito ay dahil ayon kay Garnet ay marami silang nais na matutunan tungkol sa pananampalataya.

Subalit lumipas na ang ilang araw ay nagmistula lang akong turista rito sa isla. Hinihintay ko ang mga kasama ko na mag-initiate pero masyado silang abala sa mga ginagawa nila para makausap ko. Ang leader naman nila na si Jordan ay hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko man lang nakausap nang masinsinan. Kaya napagpasyahan ko na rin na umalis na dahil nasasayang lang ang oras ko. I don't mean to be rude but at least they can respect my time as well.

But God led me here for some reasons. Bigla ko tuloy naalala. Hindi naman ako basta papayag noon sa paunlak ni Garnet kung wala akong pinanghahawakan.

Then Galilee called me the other day frantically, she wanted me to go home immediately. Dahil mayroon siyang napanaginipang hindi mabuti tungkol sa akin.

My wife, Galilee, has a gift of dreams. She often dreams vividly, and she always remembers it when she wakes up. Most of the time, her dreams consist of symbols and uncanny events kaya naman kinakailangan pa itong bigyan ng interpretation. Though not all the time her dreams don't need to be interpreted, but there are crucial times when she just felt that there's something more in her dreams—a strong gut feeling.
