I'M INSIDE MY NOVEL?! (Transmigration Series 1)

Chapter 09

In my world, I live for everyone's expectations, my parents expectation, my school's pressuring and the unending problems of my mental health.

Mental health…

I've been diagnosed of having anxiety and depression. Hindi ko maiwasang lahat ng ito ay gawa lang ng imahinasyon 'ko.

I can't shake the feeling of awareness, thinking all of this is just an illusion. It's too good to be true, and I'm afraid they are not real. All of this is not real.

I've been longing for this kind of life. This adventure that I've been looking for... It's give me life.

"Yeng?"

Untag sa akin ni Rael. I nodded and follow them closely.

Magkatabi kami ni Rael habang sinusundan si Yel.

Luna Marriel Allejos.

How many times did I say her name? Her name itself scream power, authority and dominant. Her voice are like enchanting melody, you can't do anything but to follow her orders even it is against your will. She's the type of person to not go on easy with.

She's fourteen now, and I am thirteen. We're from completely different world. I exist, I am real while she… she will remain a fictional who doesn't exist in my world but a mere character of my story.

We're different and similar to each other. In this world, I am a Senza Nome, a homeless girl with no origin nor blood line, while she came from an old money house.

Her life despite of her personality is full of life, while I remain as lifeless human with a lifeless live.

She had friend whom she can call whenever she's feeling down, while me… I couldn't even call my friends. I am not the type of person who will call anyone whenever I am feeling down, I prefer to be alone, alone myself.

Her eyes, despite of coldness had light, while my eyes remain the same—cold, empty, and blank.

She found her purpose to live, while I'm still finding it.

She found her path, while I remain in lost.

She had lights, when I can't find mine.

She have everything, and I have nothing.

But…

Are we similar? Or it is just in my imagination?

I smiled bitterly sweet.

Luna Marriel…

A character whom I create, a character of my self. We are different, but we are same. A character of my self. Her life is what I am been dreaming of. We are completely different, however we are bitterly sweet the same, because she… is me, and I am her.

We're both different, but we are also the same.

She's the other half of me that I refuse to unknowledge. That I create only for this world because I long gone thrown it of.

I create her and I wish I've been created by her too.

"Here," she handed as her laptop. I could see the video playing but I don't understand why are we watching it.

"I don't get it?"

Rael suddenly added. I secretly agreed, still continue watching. As the minute passes, I slowly understand the video's content. It's all about politics. How the country became miserable after the former president is gone.

The Philippines Former president Arkhihilo Duerte— not the good but the best former president in this world.

He was arrested for a crime he didn't commit. After six years of being president, he finally had a chance to rest. He and his family went to Vietnam for a vacation, but upon his return, he was immediately arrested.  The police couldn’t wait, even at the Philippine airport.

He was initially confused, but after seeing the new president—Bingio Mrack—he finally understood everything. He was framed by the new president.

After that incident, the people helped by the former president and those who were still on his side caused trouble.

The once peaceful country, which only became chaotic because of the new president, became even more turbulent.

The new president did this to cover up the crime of his eldest son—Klino Mrack—for murder in another country. It happened to be in Vietnam, so he had the opportunity to shift the blame to the former president after learning that the whole family was on vacation there.

While on his way to the police station, the former president’s youngest daughter—Khina Duerte—couldn’t hold back her anger.

"Why are you all doing this to my dad?! Isn't it enough that he served this country?!"

While watching the video, I couldn’t help but think. The chaos happening in this world is exactly the same as in my world. The names of the leaders are different, even the crimes involved, but how everything happened from the beginning is enough for me to know that it will cause chaos in the whole country.

Many support the new president, mostly all of them are elders, while most of the youth support the former president.

Because of this, I couldn’t help but sigh.

The older people are the ones who are more ignorant, while the younger generation, who is belittled by the elders, knows more.

I can’t help but think.

People in power are corrupt. The ones at the top, instead of fixing and making the country better, are making it even more difficult.

Instead of working together, they’re pulling each other down.

There’s really no difference. Whether it’s a book or the real world, people in power will always be corrupt.

It’s sickening and disgusting to vote for these people. People greedy for money and power.

The country should be fought for. It should be protected and made better, not destroyed.

The new president is already destroying the country he should be serving.

Human rights are not negotiable. Justice for the country. Justice for the people who are hurting. Justice for the victims. Justice for the country.

"This is… this is insane," Rael remarks. "Indeed, it is." Followed by Marriel who is currently watching it too.

I sigh, "That's how politics is," I remain indifferent but my mind began to raise.

He look at me intently that make me flinched before gaining my composure. He smirk upon seeing me flinched, as I glared at him.

"Fvck of," he chuckled and lean closer, enough for his lips to touch my ear.

"You're cute," he whispered against my ear as I felt a burning sensation towards my cheeks.

I am fvcking blushing.

Fvck this guy.
