DINALA niya sa bibig ang bote ng alak at sunod-sunod na tinungga.

Isang mapait na ngiti ang sumilay sa kanyang mga labi habang nakatingin sa papalubong na araw. Its bold and brilliant light spreads across the sky and swathe the calm sea.

The sound of the waves as they hit the shore, the wind that sings beautiful melody and the rustling of the trees brought serenity and peace. But why can't he be as peaceful as the sea? He was like the roaring waves in an enraged ocean as her face kept on popping into his mind. Looking so radiant and sleek, but all ends in tragedy.

Inilapag niya ang bote sa buhangin na kinauupuan at itinukod ang mga kamay sa magkabilang gilid.

Wala sa loob na napasulyap siya sa kanyang kaliwa. And there she was, smiling while watching the sun as it descends from the earth's surface.

As the setting sun blossoms upon the horizon, the sky of fire came into sight, like the hearth in the wintry night. The colour of the sun that was about to sleep became her skin as she glows underneath it. Radiating some hue on her ashen skin.

"Why do you love the beach and the sunset?" he asked at her. She was fascinated by the sun and the sea more than anybody else. Her eyes always gleam when she witnesses how the sun kiss the vast ocean.

"The sea breeze calms me, the sunset push the negativities as all I could think is its beauty." He was looking at her as she was talking. The smile on her pale lips did not disappear in every word she utter.

"You are like the sun, you'll descend from the surface," he muttered bitterly.

She turned her head at his direction and flash a weak smile. It was weak, but how could it be as beautiful and calm as the sea that uttering a thousand promises. "I'll become the moon that shines the darkest night, Tyson. I'll keep radiating possibilities and hope from above."

"N-no, I'm not ready, Dianne. I will never be ready, I can't let you go," he cried. The steam of tears flowed faster than his heartbeat.

Her cold and trembling hand went up to his cheek and brush his tears away. Ngunit imbes na pagaanin ay lalo lang niyong pinalala ang sakit sa kanyang dibdib habang nakatitig sa maputlang mukha ng kasintahan.

"I will forever love you, Tyson," she muttered and brush her pale and shivering lips to his in a featherlike caress. Ipinikit niya ang mga mata at ninamnam ang sandaling paglapat ng mga labi nila.

Cold breeze fanned his skin when she removed his hands and lips on his face. Umayos ito ng upo sa buhangin at isinandig ang ulo sa kanyang balikat. Hinawakan nito ang kanyang kamay ngunit iyon man ay wala ring lakas. "Hasta la proxima vez, Tyson," she said in a very low voice which barely reach his hearing.

Lumaylay ang ulo nito sa kanyang balikat at tuluyang nawalan ng lakas ang mga kamay. Pinigilan niya ang sariling mapasigaw at bumulalas ng iyak dahil sa sakit.

He looked at her face as her breathing meets its end. A tear gushed down her cheek but her smile never falters. She look so serene, like the sun that descends the earth's surface.
