A storm is approaching...
Torrential rain began to fall, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder in the sky. Delia went into an abandoned building right away to spend some time there, her clothes and other things were wet.
“Kakainis naabutan pa ako ng ulan sa daan! Nabasa tuloy ang mga gamit ko at wala rin akong dalang payong!... Ang malas mo naman Delia!” It spoke to herself in hushed tones. Delia attempts to reach Peter, but he does not respond. “Come on! Ano ba Peter sumagot ka naman sa tawag ko! Please!!!” After a few minutes, Delia realized that the rain was becoming heavier, so she was forced to enter the building's deep ends.
“Sana hindi na ako maabutan dito ng hangin at ulan!” until she noticed the shapes and the floors of the building were changing as she waited for the rain to stop.
“What's happening here!? Bakit nagbabago ang buong building??" she was began to panic again.
The whole atmosphere of the building changed the shapes and its huge form, as if it were like a jail, dark and frigid all around. “Bakit nauulit na naman ang lugar na ito?! nasa dungeon na naman ako sa Port Santiago?!” she looked around but it was so dark and silent.
“Hello?? May nakakarinig ba sa akin?” she shouted, only her whispered echoes back can be heard in the area. Until she noticed a little girl standing at the far end of the dungeon and she approached her and the little girl felt terrified, and the youngster flew away faster to the right side of the dungeon.
“Sandali lang bata saan ka pupunta!!?” she promptly pursued it to the dungeon's edge. But then the youngster vanished, and Delia came to a halt in front of a big monument of a crucifix. “Napakalaki ng krus na ito? Sa palagay ko may nakalibing dito! pero wala namang pangalan o palatandaan?!"
She heard the girl crying as she glanced at the cross, so she turned around and discovered the child behind her. “Sandali lang bata bakit ka umiiyak?”
"May problema kaba???"
(The little girl continuously crying)

Delia returned her gaze to the enormous cross, which the little girl had pointed to. "What is on the cross? bakit mo ito tinuturo??" she inquired, when she turned around, she found herself facing someone else.
“Sino! Ka?”
"Ano ang gagawin mo?! Sumagot ka!!" she was taken aback by what she saw: a bloodied Japanese soldier holding a sniper rifle. The weapon was leveled at her and fired a shot into her chest, banging her out. As she lay on her bed, she was startled up by a loud alarm, and another awful dream burst out in her sunrise.
It was 7:36 in the morning.

“Panaginip na naman! Bakit ba lagi kong napapanaginipan yung mga lugar na iyon!? Paulit-ulit nalang!!"
Carmen was knocked at her door.
"Delia tanghali na gumising kana! May pasok kaba ngayon?” Delia immediately stood up to her bed.
“Sabado ngayon ma! Pero may General meeting kami mamayang hapon!” she responded.
“O sige! Bumaba kana pagkatapos mo dyan magligpit ha!”
“Opo ma!! Maliligo pa ako ilang minuto pa ako dito!"
"Okay take your time honey!!" her mother said.
For a brief moment, the young lady cleaned her room, and Delia examined herself in the mirror. "Oh god!! I'll need to wash my hair and take a bath first! it's a catastrophe!! I guess I need to meditate and break; perhaps I'm hallucinating again because I was so weary this past few weeks ago.!!" she walked to her bathroom and bathed for twenty minutes, but the nightmares she had seen were still fresh in her memories.
"May pahiwatig ba ang aking mga panaginip? Ano ba talaga ang ibig sabihin ng aking mga nakikita? Oh, baka tama nga sila na kailangan ko ng pahinga baka hallucinations lang nakikita ko!!" she murmured to herself as it returned its gaze to the mirror. Delia, dressed in a pink t-shirt and blue leggings, instantly walked downstairs to eat breakfast after the girl emerged from the bathroom.
"Okay new day! New beginning! Refresh tayo dapat Delia! Wala kang iisipin para hindi na bumalik ang mga lugar na nakikita mo!!" she spoke to herself.
"Delia tapos kana dyan??"
"Pababa na Ma!!"
It was Saturday morning, 8:23 a.m. Individuals who attended the University are usually Masters Degree and Doctoral Degree programs, which are attended by those who are older or desire to pursue degree programs.
"Oh, magkape ka muna may mainit na dyan sa thermos!"
"Okay thank you, Ma! nasaan pala yung asukal?"
"Naubos na pala kumuha ka muna sa kabinet sa sala!" her mother said, after that the maiden gulped chocolate coffee, the blistering heat she felt every time when she drank coffee.
"Hmmm... Ito talaga gusto kong flavor!!" she said.
Delia placed her phone on the table in the Dining room. A few seconds later her phone was ringing on the place, her mother was alerted. "Delia may tumatawag sa Cellphone mo! Baka importante!"
"Baka si Peter!" she immediately responded and answered Peter's call.
"Peter napatawag ka? bakit?"
"I'm just checking on you if you're okay now?!"
"Hmm!! Don't worry I told you I'm fine ano kaba!" sagot nito kay Peter.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm hundred percent sure I'm fine and good okay!"
"Oh don't be mad at me I'm worried about you since yesterday!"
"Maayos na maayos na ako! Huwag kana mag-alala okay!!"
"Oh! by the way, sasunduin kita ulit dyan after lunch!"
"Okay sige hihintayin kita sa tapat after lunch! Hmmm... I love you Peter!!" she said with luscious lips and a pink rose blush on her cheeks...
"Love you too sweetheart!" They ended their conversation.
"Siguradong-sigurado kana ba E baka mamaya mahimatay kana naman sa school! Alam mo bang sobra ang panicked attacked ko kahapon dahil sayo? Buti nalang nandyan si Peter sa tabi mo!!" her mother was anxious about her.
"Oo nga mama! Maayos na ako! Huwag ka nang mag-alala pa!"
"E ikaw kasi sabi ko sa inyo huwag niyong pababayaan ang inyong sarili dahil hindi niyo pa kaya mag-isa!"
"Alam mo ma baka pagod nga lang ito dahil sa iniisip ko! since 3rd year na ako marami na kaming ginagawa!"
Minutes later her brother Artemis walked down to the dining room. "O buti na isipan mo pang bumaba!" biro ni Delia sa kapatid.
"O tapos? maghaharutan ulit kayo ng jowa mo sa school!"
"Mama si Artemis oh!"
"Bakit? E parang hindi kayo naglalaro ng human anatomy?!" he laughed at his sister.
"Anong human anatomy? umayos ka nga Artemis!"
Their mother finished to cooked their meal of Pinakbet. "Oh! Tama na ang asaran kumain na kayo dito at lalamigin na ang kanin!"
"Ang bango at masarap naman ng ulam natin! bagong sahod kaba ma?" Artemis said.
"E syempre galing yan sa akin! mahirap kaya kumita sa pag-aalok ng cosmetic products!"
Carmen has been selling Avon for almost six years. She offers a variety of cosmetics, including lipsticks, fragrances, and other beauty items, to young people, particularly women, in malls and markets. "Mama may gusto palang mag order ng perfume na panglalaki!" Delia said.
"Okay sabihin mo nalang sa akin para ilista ko ang mga orders mamaya!"
Artemis was the first to take a bite of the dish, pausing for a few seconds to taste it. He remembered his first bite from a moment when he was five years old..
"Hmmmm..... I like this Ma! It never changed talaga ang iyong pagluluto ng Pinakbet!" said by Artemis. The Pinakbet dish is a typical Filipino meal from the northwestern Region. Pinakbet is a Filipino meal that consists of cooked chopped vegetables in a salmon or prawn sauce. Carmen is excellent at cooking because she was came from ilocos Norte.
"Salamat ay nagustohan ninyo! O ito pa marami pa iyan!"
"Pahingi pa ako ng kanin!" Artemis said.
"Tirhan mo kaya ako ng kanin at nagugutom pa ako!" Delia said to her brother.
"Huwag kayong mag-away nasa harapan natin ang hapag-kainan!" Carmen warned to them.
They had finished their meal a few moments, and three hours later Delia was getting ready to enter the University for their club meeting in the upcoming program. When Delia went outside to wait for her boyfriend, she noticed a red automobile parked in front of a neighbor's house.
"Kanino kaya iyang sasakyan?" she asked itself quietly. and she simplified ignored it. After a few seconds, Peter has totally arrived at the front of her house. "Hey!!" Peter shouted. the young lady immediately ran to the car and she kissed her boyfriend on his cheek.
"Salamat sa pagsundo at paghatid sa akin!" she quite smiles.
"No problem! I'm your boyfriend! diba sabi ko sayo ako ang bahala kung may mangyari sayo? kaya I will never leave you and I will not lose you! Okay!" he kissed his girlfriend back.
"Sus! may pa sweet words kapa dyan!" she tapped her boyfriend.
"Hey! I'm serious about I'm saying!"
"O sige na baka mahuli ako sa meeting namin ngayon!"
They got into the car and started driving. While a red automobile in front of their neighbor's house also started to follow them in University.
"Keep your eyes open and focused on the car, particularly the woman!" said the unknown man.
