i'll hold on to you 109 - nightmare continues

[Brent]

I could only look at her. Sa mga sandaling iyon, iyon lang ang gusto kong gawin kay Relaina. Naabutan ko na siyang nakatulog sa sofa nang balikan ko ito pagkatapos kong maghugas ng pinagkainan namin kanina.

Mabuti na lang talaga at naisipan kong mag-stock ng mga condiments at ingredients sa maliit kong refrigerator na naroon sa treehouse. Iyon ang isang dahilan kung bakit nagtungo ako roon. Isa pa ay gusto ko ring mag-isip na walang iistorbo sa akin.

Kailangan kong gawin iyon dahil wala pa akong planong masiraan ng bait. Kahit sabihin pang si Relaina ang dahilan, ayoko pang mangyari iyon. Gusto ko pang manatili ng mahabang panahon sa tabi ng espesyal na babaeng ito sa buhay ko.

"Urgh! Why did I end up thinking that way?" hindi ko na napigilang komento sa sarili ko bago ako napailing.

Nagi (Ninninger)/Amu (Zyuohger): My Heart's Way

 

Both of them had written so many letters for each other already since they first met on an online site. It wasn't something she'd normally do, to be honest. But she found it interesting, especially when she got to talk to him via chat and — as you guessed it — letters.

Handwritten letters. They both found it exciting to do it that way instead of the modernized and technological version of it. Regardless of the response time, the long wait would always feel worth it for both of them.

They would reply eagerly whenever one would arrive. And yes, they would both do it by hand.

Sousuke/Saki (Go-Onger): Irreplacable Memory

 

From among those innocent days which are so irreplaceable, one memory floods out... — Kimi No Zutto, YuYu

"You're pouting again."

"And you got a problem with that?" Okay. Maybe it was a bad idea for Saki to answer like that as she was sulking.

Then again, she couldn't help it. That jerk didn't come to their appointed date — again. How many times has this happened already?

Yes, she knew that Sousuke remained busy with his car racing career ever since their duties as Go-ongers began dwindling a little. But at least that guy should consider other priorities at hand.

One was supposed to be about making sure his girlfriend — a.k.a Ryouyama Saki — was taken care of.

However, at the moment, Saki didn't feel that way. And it was annoying her.

Chase (KR Drive)/Kasumi (Ninninger): To Have Your Heart Again

 

I'll do what it takes to bring you back to me and it doesn't matter even if I have to deal with Death itself... — Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

Whether anyone would admit it or not, seeing someone from your past could be scary. In this case, two people were still trying to figure out where everything had gone wrong a long time ago for them to be separated like that.

For Kasumi to meet Chase again after four years since their separation, she didn't really know what to expect. And yet, here she was. Smiling at him like she was only meeting an old friend whom she hadn't seen in so long.

"I never thought I'd see you in a place like this," Chase said, initiating the conversation.

i'll hold on to you 108 - sweet realization

[Relaina]

Kung hindi nga naman ako minamalas… Bakit naman kasi ngayon pa ako inabutan ng ulan? Hindi ba puwedeng pinauwi muna ako bago bumagsak ang ulan na iyon?

Then again, wala naman na akong magagawa kundi ang hintaying tumila iyon. That is… kung titila nga talaga sa araw na iyon. Pero mukhang hindi ako kinakasihan ng tadhana ng mga sandaling iyon. Bakit ko naisip iyon?

Binuksan kasi ni Brent ang radyo sa lugar na iyon. Doon ko narinig na may bagyong dumating at mukhang buong magdamag na bubuhos ang ulan at mag-iingay ang langit dahil sa posibleng kulog at kidlat. Idagdag mo pa ang malakas na pag-ihip ng hangin.

Sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang plano ng langit sa akin ng mga sandaling iyon. But… I guess at some point, I was glad that Brent was there to help me.

Sento (KR Build)/Hammie (Kyuranger): Because Of You

 

Because of you, my world feels different to me... — You Are, GOT7

xxxxxx

Normally, there was no reason for Sento to feel attached to anyone as exuberant as this young woman in front of him. He was a scientist, after all. A brilliant one, at that. He would usually have no time dealing with something so trivial as entertaining a young woman in high spirits and currently enjoying her well-earned vacation.

For him, that was the normal life he knew and was aware of. But things could change in an instant. In a heartbeat. In a blink of an eye. At least, that was what he realized when he once saved her from near death because of an unidentified monster attack.

Sento had no idea about the circumstances leading to that attack. But even with the chaos and also the headache that the case had brought to him, he couldn't deny the fact that he was glad about one thing.

Nagi/Fuuka (Ninninger): The Brightest Star

 

Counting the days had never been so fun, especially when one was waiting for something important or possibly life-changing, at some point. But for Nagi, he was finding it to be hard to do. At least, he knew he had to count in order for him to realize how many days he had to endure waiting before that certain day would finally arrive.

It was a crazy thing to endure, if he was going to be honest. Then again, he just had to do that, no matter how hard.

One more week…

Koh (Ryusoulger)/Umika (Lupinranger VS Patranger): Though We Took The Long Way

 

When we met, everything was awkward. And though we took the long way, we made it, didn’t we? — Dearest, Hamasaki Ayumi

xxxxxx

“Oh, come on! He’s late again?”

Umika would’ve kept puffing her cheeks in annoyance. But of course, she knew that the one she was supposed to meet that day made a last minute call mentioning about being late due to an emergency errand. She didn’t intend to cancel her appointment that day as she’d been anticipating this for days, if she was going to be honest.

But for her to wait for 30 minutes already? Just what kind of errand did that guy end up doing for her to wait that long for him to arrive, anyway?

Banjou (KR Build)/Hammie (Kyuranger): In My Heart

 

One day, I'd be able to let you go. In my heart, it's a wish that I can only believe untl a miracle replaces the pain you have placed there... — Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

The farewell letter he left behind explained everything she never wanted to know.

But even with that, Hammie couldn’t understand why she still kept that letter. It broke her heart over and over every time she would read it. And yet her heart would still linger even to that pain just to tell herself that everything that had happened between her and that man was real.

In their case, however, it was an event in her life that never stayed real for long. Perhaps both of them didn’t do anything to solidify that once formed between them.

Once again, she sighed ever so raggedly. Damn it… Her tears were about to fall again. How many times does this have to happen, anyway? When would she learn to let it all go?

Koh/Asuna (Ryusoulger): I'm By Your Side

 

I can smile because I am by your side. I pray again that you will be my person… — All With You, Taeyeon (SNSD)

xxxxxx

It was already an everyday thing for Koh to watch Asuna eat her fill of snacks — usual ones and even new ones — especially when things around them were peaceful and no enemies would dare disrupt their usual days. On that particular day, however, there was something strange about the way he would observe his childhood friend doing the usual thing.

He shook his head and turned around for the meantime, not noticing that Asuna soon turned his way, thus stopping her from eating her snacks.

“Are you okay, Asuna?”

i'll hold on to you 107 - sudden rain

[Relaina]

Wala naman talaga akong planong lumabas ng bahay ng Linggo na iyon. Pero dahil hindi pa rin nawawala sa utak ko ang pinatunguhan ng pinag-usapan namin nina Ate Katrina, Mayu, at Vivian ilang araw na ang nakakaraan, kailangan kong mag-unwind. Hindi ko naman kailangang pumunta sa malayong lugar para gawin iyon.

Kailangan ko lang talagang mag-isip nang maayos at walang istorbo. But even with that plan, I had a feeling that it would head nowhere somehow. I hated that, to be honest. Ayokong maging ganoon ang end result ng gagawin kong pag-iisip ng araw na iyon.

Even so, I knew I had to do something.

Wala akong specific na lugar na gustong puntahan. Hahayaan ko na lang muna ang mga paa ko na dalhin ako kung saan posible akong makapag-isip nang matino. Iilan lang ang napuntahan ko nang umagang iyon.
