".....That explains a lot,". Perhaps she is not so different than me.
"Anyway, do not think too highly of me. In fact, I am pretty sure I should be thanking you too. I never thought I will see Zig again.......not until today, even if it is just a look-alike like him,", she said fondly.
"And you looked exactly the same as Ana, fate is amusing indeed," I chuckled, a feeling of glee that I had never felt in a very long time started to resurface again, swelling up in my chest. How long since I last laughed?. Never mind laughing, I can not even remember the last time I really smiled on this world. And now, all the sadness and grief that had overtook me in the past had been washed away, my shoulders no longer heavy from bearing the burden of my emotions.
"I agree," she giggled in amusement, "Perhaps our meeting too is a fate at work. Regardless, I have other matters to tend to. So, I will be taking my leave and thanks for the opportunity."
"It is okay. Take care now." I said as I bid her farewell. I merely watched as she stand up from the chair and moved toward the door. However, as she clench the doorknob, she halted her steps. As I wondered if she might have forgotten something, Estelle turned around and asked meekly,
"Can I visit you again in the future?,"
So that is what it is all about. To her question, I only have one reply,
"Sure, I believe we have a lot to share with each other,"
Estelle face brightened up after hearing my reply as she happily nodded and make her way out of my room. Once again, I am left alone. But, this time round, I no longer feel despair, in fact I am brimming with hope and expectations for the future. As I glanced out of my window, I pondered
"Had the sky always been so bright before?"

Writing for 10/16
Date : 10/16
Time starting : 5.34 p.m
Idea I am pursuing : Continuation of 10/15 story
Time ending : 5.49 p.m
Immediately realizing my rudeness, I immediately apologized, "Ah, I am terribly sorry. My illusion is getting the best of me. You look exactly as someone I knew in the past,"
Perplexed by my sudden apology, the woman named Estelle immediately shook her head in denial,
"Don't be. You have nothing to feel bad for," she speaks out as she sits down on the chair besides my bed. "It might not be my place to be saying this but I know all too well the feeling of losing someone we hold dearest,"
Surprised by her personal statement, I asked in awe, "....How do you know?"
"It's just a hunch," she smiled, seemingly trying to appear nonchalant but I can feel the sadness lingering inside her voice, "They say two people with the same wounds can feel each other presence despite being completely strangers to each other. I guess the myth might have been true after all,"
"Estelle, is it?. Despite anything, thank you for saving me," I bowed my head. "I can never hope to repay this debt. I owe you my life,"
"Don't worry about it. It is actually pretty selfish of me too. When I thought I saw Zig again, I acted on impulse. I just had to save him. In that regard, perhaps I am not saving you out of kindness," she laughed as she waved her hand, joking about the topic.
"Zig?"
"He was special to me. Perhaps pretty similar like how Ana is to you,"

Time ending : 10.16 p.m
As I open my eyes, awake from what I thought would be my final sleep, I found myself lying on a soft, comfy bed, covered by a white sheet. Now, this is somewhere that actually makes sense. From a quick glance toward my surrounding, I immediately noticed that I must have been hospitalized from that accident. That much should be pretty obvious. Now, the real question is "who actually went out of his way to get me into this hospital?,"
"'.......Maybe a kind soul took pity on me." I mumbled. Well, turns out I am still in one piece. Perhaps i should be grateful. If anything, that one meeting with Ana had given me the resolve to continue living. It is kind of funny that the very reason I wished to leave this world actually provides me with the courage and will to move forward.
As I am lost in my train of thoughts, I hear my room's door being opened. The nurse, maybe?. Or just the doctor checking up on me.
"Ah, you are awake....thanks the heavens,"
".....................Ana?,". The resemblance is uncanny. I am pretty sure I am wide awake....or am I still dreaming?. Perhaps my obsession toward her had created yet another illusory image of her. Perhaps dumbfounded by my sudden reply, the Ana look-alike replied with a smile,
"Unfortunately, I am not Ana. I heard you calling her name multiple times in your sleep while you are unconscious. I am Estelle," she explained, "You are lucky to have avoid a fatal injury. Even the doctors said it is a miraculous feat."

Time ending : 7.08 p.m
At Ana's words, a sudden realization struck me in the chest. How foolish I had been, I had let myself being washed away by my own pitiful emotions. I know tears can not bring her back to life but still I have done nothing to prevent it from flowing. As a human being, I should be embarrassed with myself. Perhaps this meeting of ours is a chance given by the heavens in order for me to correct my ways.
I looked up at the vast sky above me, though sky does not seem to fit it well. There is no cloud, it is just an empty space, shrouded with whiteness. Slowly, I wrapped my hands around Ana's. Never will I thought that I will be able to feel this warmth again.
".....Sorry to have made you worry, Ana. I should be ashamed of myself."
With an unexpected slap onto my back, she speaks proudly, "Don't worry, dear!. It is a wife duty to correct her husband whenever he did something foolish, is it not. Besides, seeing you again is something that I wished for too,"
"Seems like you enjoying yourself, heh?"
"Why, I am but a dead woman. There is no harm in enjoying myself," she jeered. Such a classic reply from her. "Anyway, it is time for you to go. Show your dearest what you can do without her when you are awake. I love you..."
"Yeah, I will remember that. I love you too," I said as I feel my consciousness fading once again. This really does not feel like a dream even though logically, it did not make sense. Still, whatever it is, perhaps it is something that is beyond a mortal ability to comprehend.

Writing for 10/12
Date : 10/12
Time starting : 10.29 p.m
Idea I am pursuing : Just some random talk about light novels that I read
Time ending : 10.45 p.m
I am a fan of reading Japanese Light novels. I have read a generous amount of Japanese LN (Light Novel) titles. For some reason, I always preferred these sort of novels compared to the more formal, classy form of novels. Maybe because the language used in these novels does not require sophisticated amount of English grammar skills in order to understand what the author is trying to imply. I am not really a fan of reading novels that will require me to open a dictionary every time I moved to a new sentence, it is just too distracting.
There are various kinds of light novels out there. Naming a few that is my favorites among the bunch will be "Brave of the Six Flowers", "Blade Dance of the Elementalist", and "Apocalypse Alice". Some of these novels are still developing their fame while some are already well established, having more than 10 volumes already written by the authors. Just like regular novels, there are various genres in the light novels produced. However, personally, I preferred reading those with romance theme mixed in it. Though, I disliked pure romance light novels that only have love as the main plot of the story.
A healthy mix of everything is the way to go. Some might actually be related to life as the story taught the reader on certain part of lives (the genre for this sort of novel is called "slice of life"). For example, "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou" actually taught the reader on how one must accept that in life, there will always be a gifted person that will surpass you in every aspects regardless of how hard you tried. One can fell life is being unfair but there is no reason to stop because everyone had their own special points.

Time ending : 8.36 p.m
"......Ana", I mumbled, my eyes burst into tears, no longer able to restrain the overwhelming sense of relief as well as happiness. It is a rush of emotions sweeping me away in a mere moment. To be reunited with her again.......I can not thank the heavens enough.
"I have missed you too," she said while gently stroking my hair. "You looked much more handsome than the last time I saw you," she chided, giggling childishly, the old classic Ana.
"Oh, is that so?. So, you have been eyeing me all this time?," I retorted in a tone we always used when we jest with each other.
"Mhm," she smiled mischievously, "......but it is till not time yet for you to be here, dear," her last sentence leave me exasperated.
"Wait, what is that supposed to mean?. I do not understand,"
"You do not belong here, not yet," Ana explained,"There is still plenty of thing left you need to do,"
".....but I do not want to go back to a place without you, Ana,"
At my reply, Ana pinched my cheeks, her expression remind me of a mother admonishing her child, "The man that I loved dearest will never give up this easily in life, no?. I know how much you had missed me and trust me, nothing made me happier than that. But, it is not time yet for us to be together, you still had a long way ahead of you."

Writing for 10/10
Date : 10/10
Time starting : 10.59 p.m
Idea I am pursuing : An alternate ending to the 8/10 story
Time ending : 11.14 p.m
Muddled with blood and rain, I struggled to breathe as I lied on the cold road. It is about time for me to bid this life farewell, anyway. There is no worth in living anymore, not after all this suffering I had to got through.
"Ah, this can't be good...." I mumbled as my eyesight keep getting poorer, a sign that I am knocking on death's door. However, I can vaguely see a very familiar person pushing through all the people circling around me.
She is making a call, her face filled with distress and anxiety, her voice filled with a tinge of panic and fear. Why would someone that I just randomly mistaken Ana for on the street held such care toward me?. It is a waster of her time, a trash like me should be gone soon, the quicker the better.
Before long, I lie defeated to the overwhelming drowsiness as I closed my eyes. Little did I know what I thought as my eternal slumber is quickly interrupted by me waking up after what I felt like a short while.
".....Where is this place?",
It is as white as far as the eyes can see and I can not make certain of where or what is this place. There is one thing for certain, this is not the real world. Is it the afterlife?. Or is it just my dying mind playing a trick on me?. All of these thoughts ran through my head. Then, while I am still sitting on the white surface of nothingness, well more like floating in the air, I feel a pair of arms embracing me from behind. I had realized this warmth can belong to none other than the one I loved dearly.
