Year 2020
I was forced to do it.
A girl named Jelu was on her way to the guidance office. However, she might thinking she could escaped from cheating during the last quarter examination.
"I had to make a very big decision, it's either I will cheat or been bullied by my friends if I will not do it".
She said it to herself because she knew she had no choice from it, they called her weirdo. She sometimes let things be, and that cares for her friends saying her that way.
At the entrance, Fedel is on his way.
He had lost weight after what had happened to him, to them. And he looks like struggling finding someone.
Fedel?...
Jelu was on her way hugging him directly.
Why are you here again? Fedel.
Fedel let me explain?! please. I was been caught cheating on my last quarter exams, I don't want to do it, my friends forced me to do it.
Jelu -- a childhood friend of Fedel was a brat girl, and a woman who almost have everything she wants her life, except for one. And that is Fedel, the boy on her dreams.
Can we just talk after the 'counseling? Fedel was on his serious face - when Jelu just continually grab the water bottle on his left side.
Why? are you getting married? She laughed at him, and just remain calmly observant.
No! ? Where did you get that? Can we go inside, I'll talk with Mrs. Rafaela!
How come you know that Dean was Mrs. Rafaela? She still insisted.
Because she was the twin sister of our terror librarian right?
We just laughed at each other, simply because the one we called out to be twins are specifically no related to each other, but because they do have ugly attitudes and that they don't have any considerations together, we call them twin's-- meaning they were all both terrors to students lives.
Wait for me here! after a minute of trying to convince Mrs. Cortez --- giving her the idea that I was the guardian of Jelu on behalf because aside from being a childhood friend, her mother was closed to me.
I just heard you came from San Fernando Pampanga with that girl named Isabella.
I know her, Ara one of my close friend knows her.
You should be careful of whom you always put your love Fedel? okay?
You immature kid! He called Jelu that way.
They used to talk about immature ideas since then, they were closed because of family businesses managed by Fedel.
So basically they were good friends since then, they were childhood sweeties and that everyone calls them that way even if they aren't.
"See you around! and a smile back at her stating that she's happy seeing him.
" She took a heavy step out of the hallway, she said she have a meeting with instructor regarding cheer leads"!.
After a long way run, it was then the most complicated thing I need to do.
Sarah is still on the hospital, I know she have made a lot of absences lately because she had to take care of Isabella which is still on comatose right now, I am worried about her, what made her sleep so long?
And I know that girl on the hospital, Jeana knows everything. But I don't know where to find strength. I just hope Jelu knows how it works. Even if there's no chance, I'll be hoping that everyday I could find solution to our situation.
Jelu grew up in a family with special abilities seeing the past lives of people, even her mother can recognized it, these special abilities they have is from her great grandmother Alliah Sulam, I don't know if it makes sense, but I believe there's something I should have done for her, even if no one believes in me. I know my dreams has something to do with all of these..
I don't even care now if someone laughs at me or make fun of me, what matters to me is Isabella.
I'm serious now, she might help me recognized and distinguished some reasons of the things that was happening to us right now, something she can explained what to do next. I know that there were certain point of my life that I feel I was re-connected to Isabella and that the first time I saw her, I knew it was her whom I'm looking for on my dreams.
And seeing those people, the girl called Jeana, and that woman Sarah talks about. Something that gives me an idea that these should not be just an incident that will once happen.
I can see Jelu waving on her direction slowly running towards me. I can't see any reason for me not to smile back, I know she was happy I was here.
"I feel something negative energy today!" she said when she turned her face to me.
What is it for Fedel?
I was all along thinking on how to start convincing her not to laugh at me.
"You shouldn't have done that first, you shouldn't have laughed on me at first."She said.
What do you mean? I was confused on how she reacts, something that she knows already.
" I know why you are here, and that I see you the day before you get there"
She continued.
You and your friends had made fun of me during our highschool. And now that I know how much you suffered from it, I just think I show you the world you choose. And that you only choose the fate that at the very first doesn't belong to you.
Destiny always take back memories in the past, it always re-connects and thirsty for the love that wasn't at first formed.
Aren't you still here because of same reason?
I don't have no any idea Jelu I'm sorry, at first I had lots of doubts going here because I'd became so harsh to you on our highschool, can't even think why it happens!
But it is, whatever you do and wherever you go. You can't deny the past Fedel, that is something who creates our future. If you'll deny it, you can't make a good future out of it. Senor Fedel? Aren't you that person?
The person you're waiting and looking for isn't here anymore.
Where is she right now? Jelu..
She's still in comma, the doctor said she's recovering and she's fine. And her wounds are all healed but no one can explain why she remains that way, she sleeps so long.
Because she's not here already Fedel.
She has a mission that needs to do, she must accomplished on her 20th.
Didn't you remember I told you when we're in highschool you would look for that woman for the rest of your lives. But what you have done to me? You laughed at me and told me I'm crazy brat girl and that I need a psychiatrist? How come we both ended up like these? to whom do I have to call out for a psychiatrist?
I'm sorry Jelu, All I wanted to know is that I don't want to lose her, I love her.
I know! --- Jeluuuu.
Jelu was capable to sense my feelings to this woman..
You always choose her Fedel over and over- But how sure are you if she will be going to choose you this time?
What do you mean? I asked her with a lot of confusions running on my head.
That girl who visited you to the hospital, the Head nurse and the one you call Jeana?
How did you know them? I continued asking her, this time more deeper.
Because I was there, you might not see me but I know and can feel something is bothering you, until you got here and finally you'll end up confessing all these things.
What should I do?
Let's go. Mom is waiting for us.
It was a ride away from the City, at exactly 2:00 pm in the afternoon we arrived at the Old House of her great grandparents.
Jelu owned a lot of business there in Manila that includes Hotels, Restaurants and Salon. She have those things from her great grandparents since she was the only chinese grand daughter of the family.
The only heir of the family "Jelu Zhou"
She was named Jelu after her late grandmother "GESHIA, A daughter of Alliah Sulam" who owned luxurious jewelry businesses, and before she dies, she had put Jelu under it's name all her proprietorship.
Are you okay? we're here.
Nice to see you again here! Did you still remember before.. when we get used to go here just.. .
*to pick some flowers and wait for nightfall just to look for beautiful fireflies*
We are suddenly laughing at each other now, because at some point in our lives we had became that funny person, when we're still kids.
Let's go inside, mother had prepared some tea for us.
And that my only hope now is Jelu and her mother, I call her aunt because she's not different to me. We have been so close since I was still a kid, dad was her schoolmate since then.
And a hug coming from her! Nice to see you again Fedel?
with that beautiful face and a smile formed on her lips I know how happy she was seeing me again.
When Jelu texted me that you'll be coming here, I had cook your favorite pasta.
"Thanks auntie". You are always the best.
You're welcome darling! You're always be my favorite person since then!. and that she laughs a bit.
How was your mom?
She's fine auntie, she's recovering and healthier than before.
That's nice to hear.
Anyways I know you were coming back here, want to know why?
She had turn back and pick a little leaves on the indoor flowers that was on the table.
Is it about a girl named Isabella?
Why did you know her auntie?
Because I know you, Sorry if I needed to hide all these things to you. But one thing is for sure, the moment you came here.
I know it was something that connected to both of you. Actually, she had came here weeks ago and that she was here.
What do you mean?
Can't you see? San Fernando Pampanga.
At the year 1897. This was their Old house since then, she isn't present in this world already, but in her past world upholding her purpose.
Is she here right now?
Yeah! definitely.
Can we go upstairs? ..
I will show you something..
At the very short noticed, I realized something I had never known her.
I can't stop thinking those things that I felt for her, not just being a close friend of my cousin Sarah.
I know she looks familiar and that familiarity had opened my eyes to the truth who can both set us free.
And that I can see auntie was removing a white cloth covered on the image hanged on the wall.
It was a large-heavy image and I can see the full picture on it.
" Isabella? ".
"A girl that was dressed in an old-fashioned like about centuries"
You know her?
She's Isabella.
And that every name I recalls her, that was the moment my tears keep falling.
What happened? why is she here?
You want to know her story? and your part to her story as well?
Come here, I remained calmed following the directions she have..
An old library is on the 2nd room right next to the room where we saw the image.
She opens an old book, it was entitled "My life, and the curse".
It was all written here, that a grand daughter named like her, and faced like her.
Isabella was born on both world.
She became an Isabella of the past, her great grandmother had given her the mission to accomplished the life she had never done-well.
You need to know your part Fedel. That's the only way you can helped her find her way out to the past life and get her back here.
You are Senor Fedel Gracia in the past life you'll be going.
A soldier that will save her from the life that was given to her.
How can I do that?
You'll know soon. Don't worry I and Jelu will work for your dreams at night.
Soon you'll recognize your purpose.
For now, know how you will pretend to have that kind of life being a soldier and that how to become a good son of Don Feliciano Gracia.
Know your strength and weaknesses and that don't let your emotions hinder you from saving her. If you'll ever need to pretend you don't know her is much better way to do.
But how can I helped her?
Just do the things you need to do. Hold on to her, make her worth living there and save the one's she's holding too.
"ESTRELLA".
The girl who made her life this way. The girl who give her family this curse and that she is the only girl who can stop her from doing that and breaking the curse is her mission.
Fedel remember that once you get there, the life we had here is far different, and that Isabella won't recognized you. You can feel her, and she can feel that you were familiar to her but necessarily that was the risk you need to face.
Please hold on. Don't let your emotions grow there. Please unlove her if you can, as much as you see her it wouldn't be easy but that's the only way to get her from the curse of her past.
Thank you auntie, I still don't know where it takes me. But if it's only the chance to helped her, I had promised to protect her at all cost.
And just going back to Manila.
I didn't mind thinking about the ways we get there, it was the same place we go and that Isabella is in the near hospital but I decided not to visit her. There are more preparations I need to do, and the doctor decided to let her stay on their home, with medications and oxygen were still attached to her so that it would help her find her way recovering.
I also have paid all her bills.
And that Alex had buried already.
I have to go back home, I know it wasn't be an easy task to put my life at stake for Isabella. But the only thing that requires now is a total submission of helping her out of there.
She choose to accomplished her mission because she knew it was the best thing that she can do for the rest of her generation that will might suffer from the curse as well.
And that me.. .
I'll choose to accomplished it because I love her, and that's the only thing I can do for her.
I still have the chance to say goodbye to Hannah, and that I told them I'll be out of the country soon. I'll be moving for business matters and that mom had told me to always keep safe.
I also had called dad that if any emergency, he must be the one to took over my responsibility. I heard that Hannah was closed to her daughter now. And that it helps me feel better that they're fine together.
And that mistress? I will see her again after the mission.
The thing that I am saying goodbye to all of them, are the same thing I fought for.
No matter what happens to my past life.
I would bring Isabella back here, whatever it may cost me.
Isabella, I know you were coming back to me.
