Many years had passed and only confusions and doubts remain. Could he really overcome the many hindrances, or ending up one's most precious life is the most fitting solution?

For 12 years of living this darkened world, the only thing that made his life miserable―family! Yes, he didn't have any loved ones to rely on and to talk with. He was completely nothing and nobody.



If we are going to put ourselves in his situation, could we still think of alternative solutions when things seemed to be full of uncertainties? Definitely, the answer would be yes!

Geo was able to overcome the many tachyons of life despite of the years travelling in a negative speed force.

Just like what he said: "Who was that someone on earth who wasn't able to get hurt? The only thing we need to do is to accept the reality that is in us!"

This must also be the most apposite avowal that gave him courage to embrace another episode of life, to stay in the Philippines.

He accepted the hot weather of the place. He accepted the too narrow room of his boarding house. He accepted the noisy and smelly environment. He also accepted the many noisy and terrible friends that he had, and the many different bad news everyday.

"What's with that long face, then?" Someone asked that question to him during his first two weeks of schooling in the said place. It was Rain who asked such vivid question. Rain Smith's father was said to be a foreigner. He was a 12-year old student whose mother died because of a car accident which happened five years ago.

"Are you going to heed my question, or you will treat me for lunch today?"

"Nope! I just remember living in adorable house." He answered Rain after mentioning the word "treat"-to treat him for lunch.

"Would it mean that you are planning to leave Philippines and continue schooling in your father's place, in South America?"

"Why would I stay there then when I'm not even given proper attention? Are you crazy? If you want to be there, go there yourself instead!"

Geo seemed to be in his new personality again. Like an active volcano, giving signal to errupt sooner. Nevertheless, he was not anymore that old self who can't control his emotions. He has transformed a lot as he advanced for years.

"Oooppsss... relax! I'm not askin' you to be there, dude. We're friends, right? And that means... I'll not betray you. Okay?" Encircling his arms in Geo's neck.

"Keep your promise. Don't say it!"

It was about time for school when the two of them finished their conversation. Yet, Geo wasn't relieved yet and still thinking wether he will still enjoy living a life away from his father or just vacate the race and abandon the place where he is right now.
