"Finding the book"
Finding
Looking for something you have not even seen before is hard
[ Author : I lose things, misplaced them perhaps, almost everytime ]
And that's okay
Losing something, someone, or anything in life is actually fine
Losing is a part of life, a part of an experience to be clear
Losing a special someone in life really hurts especially we are people and we have feelings, we ache
Our hearts ache because we have feelings, we cry
We love, we get hurt, we cry, we fall
We may fall but that does not mean that we can't rise and we can't stand up again

"Find the book"
I woke up and went straight to my new walk in closet to change my clothes and go to the library I went to yesterday
"Where are you going, anak?"
Mom was cooking breakfast, when she saw me in an outside outfit
"To the library, I forgot somrthing there" I stuttered a little
She gave me a smile and nodded, after that she continue to cook
Funny how mom did not do any violent reaction for not eating the food she cooked for me, she usually gets really grumpy and looks like a monster from another universe
"Goodmorning, what's your name ms?-"
I arrived at the library and the same librarian yesterday was on duty right now
She was not yet done on asking the question but I'm positive about what she meant so I, well,
"PRISHA MA'AM!" I shouted
I forgot that we need to keep quiet at the library but who cares, I was on a hurry you know
I went upstairs where I saw the book yesterday just before I saw the guy
Speaking about the guy, I wonder how my ID is
"Kristine, Kristine" I whispered to myself to focus on finding that book
"Are you looking for the 'Kristine' book by Leonard Ferrer?"
An old man, not so far from my mom's age, came to me and asked
I nodded my head as I saw the book he was holding
"I'm done reading it, here, take this at home so you can focus, it's a really nice book" he winked
"Thank you, mister" I bowed and went to the librarian to borrow the book and bring it home
I was on my way home I saw the book sorta, FLASHED?
------------
"My Kristine, where are you?"
I don't know if this is reality or just a dream or any kind of those
It feels like I was in the book and I saw everything that happened
The man was in suit that has blood stains, it started to creep me out
He walk through the woods, he looks really down but I don't think he's lost
He seemed to know where he is and where he is going except he looks so down and does not know who he's fighting for
"Mr, are you looking for Ms. Kristine?" a young man asked him
He looked alive when he heard the name 'Kristine'
I guess Kristine is his first and greatest love, she must be really pretty and gorgeous for making a man turn this way
"I know where she is Mr, I swear I do"
The man followed the young man as he started walking him out of the woods
Of course, I follow them too to know about this Kristine and maybe she's someone who can help me
There I saw a big house, no, a mansion, black, white, and grey were the main colors
As we were about to go inside, a white color suddenly flashed
I saw the man and the young man go in that white flash without getting their eyes hurt
-----------
"What happened?"
I was in my room when I went in the white flash and there I saw the old woman I was talking about
"Mrs. Stranger" I said
She smiled at me as she stood up and went near the window
"I see you found the book and had quite fun in there"
I tilt my head making an annoyed and 'so done' face at mrs stranger
Gosh, I really need to know her name so I can stop calling her that gigantic and massive nickname
"Mrs. Stranger" I called her
She sat beside me on the bee and didn't took a glance at me
"What's your name?" I asked
She looked down to her feet and ignored my question
What is she hiding?
"Erm, hello, I can't always call you Mrs. Stranger you know"
She looked at me looking very nervous and serious, she looked nothing happy or calm this time
What is she hiding to me?
I know her for a long time now, she even scared me and now it seems like the table turned
She's the one who's scared, nervous, and hiding something
"Then, don't call me"
I was shookt and irritated with her answer, I mean what's in a name, why isn't she telling me and why is she scared?
"What are you hiding?" I look directly to her eyes as she is trying to avoid mine
Mrs. Stranger was an old woman when I met her 3 years ago and I've notice that she's getting younger
Her gray hair is slowly fading away, she's a brunette like me
"You do not understand, you don't know" said Mrs. Stranger
"In what way do I not understand? Where? What? Why? Why can't I?"
I was really piss off but I'm trying my best to stay calm and to not hurt her, she helped me in some way so i care for her too
"You will not like me, you will hate me" she explained
Why would I hate her and what did she do that will make me hate her?
"Mrs. Stranger" I sighed
"I like you and you're really cool. You're like a mother to me, a sister, a bestfriend, a best adviser"
"So tell me, what did you do that'll make me hate you? why would I hate you?" I cried
She was just staying still but I can tell that she is about to cry and that she's really nervous
I don't like it when people are sad, when people are crying especially if it's because of me
"I'm sorry, don't worry Mrs. Stranger I will not ask again"
As I was about to go downstairs to eat when she started to talk
"I am you"
