Capturing an Epilogue (Captured Series 1)

Warning: Unedited

The next day ay naisipan kong bumangon ng maaga at tumambay sa lobby ng hotel. Meron ditong receiving area kung saan may mga sofa at tables na pwedeng mapwestuhan kapag may maghihintay o gusto lamang tumambay. I comfortably sat on one long sofa with my coffee and laptop on the center table.

“Hi! Good morning!” I automatically shut my eyes tightly when I heard a familiar and irritating voice on my right side. Napairap ako nang tuluyan nang makalapit ito sa pwesto ko. I didn’t bother looking up to him when I noticed that he stood in front of me. I just continued doing what I am doing.

I was actually busy typing on my laptop with such ideas on my mind for the next chapters of my novel. I have lots of possible scenes on my sleeves right now at ayokong makalimutan iyon agad. Kailangan ko itong maisulat at maitype dahil kung hindi ko iyon gagawin, siguradong makakalimutan ko na mamaya.

I was the type of writer that always carries notebooks and pens or laptop or ipad inside her bag para in case na may bigla akong maisip na idea ay agad ko itong maisusulat at hindi ko agad nakakalimutan.

Matagal nang nakatambak sa drafts ko ang novel na ginagawa ko at ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng sapat na oras para ipagpatuloy ito. This novel was not actually related to my school unlike my other stories na may deadlines. I don’t have any pending projects on school kaya may time ako para gawin ito ngayon. Besides, the thought that I am in Singapore, motivated me to continue it.

New environment, new ideas. It gives me the vibes which makes me write and think beyond the box.

Our publishing company already published lots and different kind of books and I am proud to say that they’re all good and commendable! I was actually planning to finish my novel as soon as possible because I also want it to be published like my other works. I already have five books produced under our publishing company at lahat naman ‘yon ay naging successful.

This might be one of the reason kung bakit tuwang tuwa ang mga prof ko sa akin. They were all probably sure that I already have an idea on how to write, plot, characterize and edit a story. I couldn’t tell that I am already successful and professional on this field because I am still learning how to be an inspiring writer. Minsan, naiisip ko tuloy na napublished lang ‘yong mga novel ko dahil anak ako ng may- ari ng kompanya. Though, I am fairly confident that my stories are more than good enough. I was even happy dahil kahit paunti- unti, nagagawa ko na ang pangarap ko. And my plan still won’t change that I am going to pursue my dream in Ireland. And I am more than happy that my parents are both supportive to whatever plans I have.

Naalala ko bigla si Liam. How about him? I can’t stop myself thinking how he’s feeling that his dad wants him to take another course. Does he feel satisfied doing what he wanted even it caused him to disobey his dad? Does it feel thrilled doing something against your parents? I can still remember the disappointment on his father’s face the last time I overheard them. The mere thought of disobeying my parents and seeing them disappointed on me, makes me feel dismay on myself.  I think, hindi ko ‘yon magagawa. But, I really admire him doing it because it is his dream. That is what he really wants. I can see through it that he is so passionate with his dream and he can fight for it. That makes me looked up at him. Iyon din siguro ang isang rason kung bakit ko siya nagustuhan at patuloy na nagugustuhan. He can fight for what he wants except on his deep crushing on Monique.

Well, I am not saying that he can fight and get Monique from his boyfriend, dahil mali naman iyon. He can’t just drag Monique and steal her from his man. Maling- mali iyon at hindi ako makapapayag! NEVER!

“Hey! I greeted you ‘good morning’ and I am expecting you to greet me back.” I automatically got back to my senses when I heard him talked again. “Well, that’s should it be, right?”
