" Kinekwento kita kay Lord palagi, alam mo ba? " I saw a tear escape his eye, the most painful thing I saw after my mom's cry.
" I know Zeus. " I hold his trembling hand.
" Gusto kitang pakasalan, alam mo din ba? " I thought I won't cry but I was wrong, I cried hard after hearing what he just said. I intertwined our hands, my hand fit on his like it was made just for him.
" Gusto ko din. " I can feel the tightness of his hold.
I stand but he never let go of my hand.
" 'Wag mo akong iwan. " I look at him, but I can't do it long, it brokes my heart seeing him this weak.
" Let's end it here Zeus, you can find someone, better than me. " I turned my back, leaving him. Pinilit kong hindi lumingon. Alam kong last na'to. I felt the urge of running into him again. Good thing, I did not.
That was me 7 years ago, a dumb brave girl.
Sitting on the bend coconut tree, this is the place where we made our promises that are made to be broken.
" I miss you Zeus. " I said while staring on our match tattoos, a small coconut tree, placed on my wrist.
" My father wants me to get married Zeus, I don't want it. " Did I choose the wrong path? Bakit ang sama sa'kin ng mundo?
I'm stupid, I left you. I don't know, call me selfish, but kung hindi ikaw, hindi na lang.
