      11:36 in the evening and still i cant sleep. I got up and go to my kitchen to drink some water. I was about to go upstairs when I heard a little noise comming from the backyard. As I went to my backyard the noise dissapered from my ears. I go back to my room and checked the time, it's already 11:41 only 29 minutes left before 12:00 strikes.

      I tried sleeping but there is something or someone  that pulls me back to not get falling asleep. I pulled my hair in frustration. I got up again and go downstairs to get some milk and snacks " if i can't sleep after this i would not go to work tomorrow" i said to my self. And again i heard the little noise its like humming a friendship song and it came from the backyard and I looked again but no one is there "this is creeping the hell out of me" i said to my self. I embraced my self and ignored the voice and go to my bedroom.

       I looked in my clock and it's already 11:54 6 minutes left then it's already morning. I heared again the noise, now i can't hear a little noise but a voice of a woman. The wind blew hard and it's enough to send me chills in my body. I closed the windows and go back to bed. Wind came back and it blew harder than before. And the voice get louder and louder. I was about to stand up and close again the windows but i could'nt stand "What is happening?!" I asked my self hysterically.

       Minutes passed and now i can feel my legs but the winds is still blewing hard and the voice is still so loud. And i dont know but i got up and go out in my bedroom, went downstairs and head to the backyard. I checked my wristwatch and its already 12:05. I opened the glass door and nothing was there. I checked the pool, the dog house and the tree but nothing was there "this is strange" i said to my self full of confusion.

        It's already 12:16 then i realised something, my dog was not in the dog house. I searched everywere and saw him barking at someone. I look closer and closer, as i looked at it i was shocked, it was my bestfriend that  I kill 1 year ago because of jealousy. My tears slowly fall down. I ran into her to give her a big hug but i can't, i can't work out my legs. I now understand what is happening.

        Today is our anniversary- 12th anniversary to be exact and im so dumbed not to remember it. Even if i killed her she is still my bestfriend and I love her. I felt so guilty of what i do to her, And I loath myself for that. Now i understand all, the voice, the wind, why i cant sleep, the humming, and the barked. "Thank you bestfriend for reminding me and im sorry for what i did 1 year ago" i said to her. I can see her smilling happily and it is visible to her eyes that she missed me and so though I. I remember the days we spent together our memories and others. Now i regret killing her for a nonsense reason. How i wish i can turn back the time and correct all my faults.

"Happy 12th Anniversary my bestfriend"

Ayaw kong maghugas ng plato

Ayaw na ayaw

Ayaw ko kasi na may nakatingin sa likod ko

Ayaw kong may kumakain kasi ako yung maghuhugas

Pero ang totoo naghugas ako

Kahit madalim sa aming kusina

Pinilit ko parin na maghugas ng plato

At nasisiguro ko na malinis at kikintab ang aming plato na nadumihan katulad ng puso mo

Sinunod ko yata ang instruksyon ni mama noong bata pa ako:

Una, kunin ang mga natirang pagkain na nasa plato katulad ng mga ala ala nyo na noon pa'y naka baon sa cellphone mo

Pangalawa, Unahin ang baso,sunod ang kutsara at sunod yung plato, sabunan ng mabuti para mawala yung dumi at malansang amoy, katulad ng sarili mo sabunan mo yung utak mo para mawala lahat ng ala ala mo na kasama sya at unahin mo muna ang sarili mo bago ang ibang tao para ikaw ay di masaktan ng todo todo

Pangatlo, banlawan ito ng mabuti tulad ng sarili mo linisin mo ang katawan mo iwanan ang dapat iwanan ibalik ang dapat ibalik para saganon ikaw ay maka move on

Pangapat, ipatuyo bago ilagay sa lalagyan tulad mo magmove ka muna bago ka sumabak sa panibagong laban

At dyan lang muna tayo

Aayusin ko muna ang mga ito

Punasan yung mga luha ko

Na di ko naramdamang tumulo na pala

Hangang dyan lang muna

Mahirap mabuhay

Mahirap din magbuhay ng patay

Kailangan sulitin lahat ng sandali

Para ang pagpanaw ng puso ay di masyadong masakit

Kailangan magsakripsyo para sa ibang tao

Gagawin ang lahat ng kaya

Buhay man o kaluluwa ang kapalit

Mahirap mabuhay sa mundo na puno ng kasinungalingan

Pero mas mahirap mabuhay kung lahat ng tao ay sinungaling

Aalis para sa kapakanan ng lahat

Magpapakamatay para sa sariling pangarap

May iiyak

May umiiyak

May umiyak

Di malaman kung saan tutungo

Pero isa lang ang alam

Ang maging tao

Sa boung buhay ng tao isa lang ang importante

Ang maging importante

Na ngayoy ipinagkakait sa ibang tao

Pinaparamdam na hindi sila kailangan

Tiniis

Nagtiis

Nagtitiis

Kahit anong pagpapasikat

Hindi parin sumisikat

Kahit anong pagpapapansin

Hindi parin napapansin

Iniisip silay kaluluwa

Na hindi nakikita

Nagiisip ng paraan para mamatay ng matiwasay

Inisip kung ano ang magiging kapalaran sa lahat ng pinaghirapan

Mamatay o mabubuhay

In one windy night in the cemetery her aunt asks a question.

"For you, how can you say that the ending of the story is happy?"

"If the story is delivered happily, or the character" the kid replied

"Do you wanna hear a story?"

"Yeees!" The kid respond happily, excited to hear a new story.

"So there's a story about two boys who's inlove with a girl" she started with a grin in her face.

"There were three kids one girl two boys playing together they have the same age as you, as they grow older their connection is getting stronger and also thier feelings for her, and then the other boy have the guts to confess his feelings then luckily the girl accepted his feelings the people nearby clapped and cheer them up but little did they know there is someone whose feeling hurt, wanted to shout out the pain he feel while watching the two of them."

"Years later they're now engaged but the other boy can't still accept the fact the the girl he love a very long time is about to marry his twin brother, then something came up in his mind, he immediately called her father and use his power to arrange a marriage to his daughter."

"The wedding has started groom is already waiting for the bride and do you know who's the groom snd bride? The girl and the other boy because soon as the father agreed, the other boy process is immediatly and the girl can't say no because it's her father's order. The twin of the boy can't do something also because he also wants her brother happy. They exchange vows and after a couple of weeks they developed feelings to each other, raised a child and enjoy a happy marriage life"

"The twin of the boy also got married but his not that happy its because he's inlove with her the husband of the other boy but he have to hold it because he already have a wife but later on the twin's wife found out that her husband is not happy so the wife did her best but its still not enough then came up with a plan.

"The twin's wife visited the other boy's wife and brought a cake, the two of them enjoy after the other boy's wife recognize her but few minutes after the other boy's wife started having trouble in her breathings and that's the time she knows the cake has a poison but it's too late she already died."

"All people that knows her got completely broken but as they say move on, and so the other boy founds a new wife and both of them got haply also the twin brother 'cause he finally see the worth and love is wife"

"The end."

"Aww, their experiences is not happy but that does not mean the story is not happy its because the end of the story ended in a happy manner so yeah..." the kid commented.

"Really? You're thoughtful" the aunt commented

"Yes. But I wish this will not happen in real life" the girl said

"But what if the story already happen in real life?" the aunt questioned while smiling that made the kid widened her eyes.

"Are you saying that the story you told me happened?"

"Yes" she replied and widened her smile "Do you wanna know what's their name? well the other boy's name is Seric, the twin brother Aeric and the girl is Zyra" the aunt said.

The girl went silent couldn't react, still processing what she just heard. She couldn't believe that it's her parents and tito is the charachter of the story. They were in the cemetery to celebrate her mother's death anniversary.

"Why!? Why did you kill my mother!" The girl shouted in frustration after realizing things.
