On the Other Side
Prelude
"Huh?" Gabriella bends down to pick a phone.
Pure black with no brand. Confused, she looked around her surroundings but saw no one but an eerie darkness.
"This looks battered." Her mouth twitched at the condition of the phone.
The screen is cracked. Its back is full of tiny scratches, and it looks like it would collapse anytime.
"I hope its still working..." She whispered. Pressing the on button, she preyed it works.
After long pressing, the phone lit up. Gabriella's breath out a sigh of relief.
Still no logo. The cover of lock and home screen black. But luckily, it didn't have any password.
Gabriella Mae Presidia

A notification rang, a weird and long sound together with a pop-up message.
Gabriella opened the message inbox and saw the only messaged in there—from a man named Ace.

Episode 1: Mysterious Guy
The sunlight shone at Gabriella's bed, illuminating the room with soft warmth.
Laying sideways on her bed, Gabriella was texting with her best friend.
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Hey Eveline Arkanghel, something weird happened to me last night
Evelina
Evelyn Archangel, ok? What even happened to you?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
I picked up a phone with no brand and there's not even the owner's information
Gabriella Mae Presidia
How would I know where to give it?
Evelina
No brand? Maybe you just didn't know the brand... too expensive for you to identify?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Expensive your ass. It doesn't really have a brand, wait let me send you the picture
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Here
Evelina
That phone experienced so much. Is that even working?
Evelina
It looks like a Vivo phone?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
That's the weird thing, it's still working and its even working well
Gabriella Mae Presidia
And no, it really doesn't have any brand
Evelina
Did you explore the setting?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Yes, yes. I clicked all the apps but no information, and no brand of the phone. Nothing. Nada
Evelina
That's really weird. Did anyone know this aside from us?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
I didn't tell anyone aside from you. What should I do with this phone?
Evelina
Just throw is back to where you picked it? Maybe the owner is searching for it
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Throw? What if someone with bad intention pick it up?
Evelina
What if, what if. What if you just go back to where you picked that up and wait to see if the owner will come back to that place?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
That's a plan. I'll just do that for now
Evelina
Since I helped you, can you do me a favor?
Evelina
I really need your help with thissss
Gabriella Mae Presidia
...
Gabriella Mae Presidia
What is it?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
I'll help if I can, but if it's not within my power then -_-
Evelina

Evelina
It's about my job. There's kinda mishap with the artist on the other side. One of the model suddenly back-out, but we need this photoshoot this week
Gabriella Mae Presidia
You'll make me your back-up model again?
Evelina
You're so smart, Gabby! Yes, yes, darling. Can you be my back-up model? We will pay you like last time
Gabriella Mae Presidia
How important is that photoshoot for my face to be needed?
Evelina
10 out of 10, baby. And don't look down on you looks. You're the most beautiful girl that I've ever know
Gabriella Mae Presidia
*your. And no need to flatter me, Evelina. I'll join this photoshoot. Send me the address and the time, and if I needed a certain look when going there
Evelina
Blah blah with your grammar course. I'll email you the information and with looks, just go bare face, so they can start with a blank slate
Evelina
Thank you, thank youuuu darling for your cooperation. You really love me that most 😘
Gabriella cringe at the emoji sent by her best friend, Evelyn and was about to comment about it when the black phone on the table sounded a notification again.
She stood up from her bed and walk towards the table. Picking up the phone, she sat down on the single couch with her legs cross.
The light of the phone shone on her face when she opened the phone. The same name pop up from the message box. Gabriella furrowed her brows as she opened the inbox.
Ace Luther King
Don't go out at night. Be safe, mi amor
Episode 2: First Chat
Gabriella's eyes penetrates the inbox message that she opened. It still read the same line that confused her.
Her finger is tapping the phone, deciding whether to reply to the message when another pop-up.
Ace Luther King
Listen to me, my love. Please don't be stubborn this time. Don't leave, ok?
Brows furrowed, she tapped the keyboard of the phone to compose a message.
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Do you know the owner of this phone?
Minutes passed by and yet the message is silent, not a dot from the mysterious man is seen.
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Excuse me? Do you know where can I give this phone to?
Ace Luther King
Who are you?
Ace Luther King
Why does her phone on you?
Ace Luther King
Why is her phone there?!
Gabriella was dumbfounded by the string of messages. She can feel the strong emotion of the man through the phone.
Gabriella Mae Presidia
I picked it up at the roadside. I didn't steal it nor bought is somewhere. Swear! Furthermore, I just want to know who I can contact with to give this phone back
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Do you know the person who own this phone? If you do can you tell me where can I give this back?
Ace Luther King
Impossible! How can her phone be with you? How can you just picked it up somewhere?
Gabriella started to feel frustrated at the tone of the man's words. She started to type furiously.
Gabriella Mae Presidia
I said I picked it up, aren't I? Why are you still doubting it? Did you think that I stole this lousy phone? Who would even stole this when this is so battered?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
And I can buy my own phone !
Ace Luther King
And as I said, it's impossible!
Ace Luther King
What is that?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Guess. Jerk.
Ace Luther King
Are you mocking me? What's with your temper? I'm not accusing you of anything ok? It's really just impossible! You couldn't have her phone at all!
Gabriella Mae Presidia
And. As. I. Said. Why. Is. That?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Do you see me replying to your message? Do you see what image I just sent to you? Then believe it now. I. Really. Has. Her. Phone!
Ace Luther King
I know. I understand, alright? But it's really unbelievable that you have her phone when you shouldn't even suppose to see it or picked it up!
Gabriella Mae Presidia
Can you just tell me the reason why not?
Gabriella Mae Presidia
So we could end this conversation
Gabriella Mae Presidia
You're not even telling useful information
Ace Luther King
Please miss, tell me honestly. Did you really pick up that phone at the roadside?
Gnashing her teeth, Gabriella let out a heavy sigh as the man asked an obvious question.
Gabriella Mae Presidia

Ace Luther King
That phone was destroyed alongside its owner!
