I found out that she had amnesia. That explains why she didn't even remember me now. Morgan told me that that's the side-effect of her treatment back when she's in Cali.

My feelings right now is still unfathomable. It's been a month since the last time we saw each other. I wonder how's she. And that mysterious guy kept on pestering my system.

Is he her boyfriend? I hope not. After a month I'll be on work. Almost everyday I'm on their house, just so I could cope up with her life, and for her to remember me as well.

I researched about her condition and it says there that her amnesia could be permanent. So it's better to not force her remember something, I couldn't risk that. Not that there's also a guy lurking around with her life.

Whenever I go to their house, the guy is always there. Tss. Don't he have work or something? I try to interact with her but then she'll just ignore me, so I ended up leaving the food I cooked for her. As much as I want her to remember me, I can't. As what I've said earlier, I can't risk it.

I'll just try my best to make her familiarize with me. It's okay if she will not remember me. It's fine, really. Who am I kidding? Of course it's not fine. But I'll just accept the situation of course.

Kung hindi man nya matandaan ang dating ako, ang dating kami. Gagawa nalang ako ng paraan upang magsimula ng bagong kabanata sa bagong libro ng aming buhay. Walang kasiguraduhan kung kami nga ba hanggang sa huli, ngunit tataya ako,  basta para sa kanya.

Tzuyuzumi can't remember even her bestfriend. Imagine, how hard it is for Morgan. Come to think of it, they grew up together, tell secrets with each other, open-up, cry together, laugh at the most stupidest thing in chorus. Then in just one blink, everything changed.

If only I abide her parents back then, this won't happen. Yes, I still blame myself till this day. And I still fucking hate myself. But a part of me pitied myself. I just loved, then this the kind of payback I get? Damn, how cruel my life could be?

Sana pinatay nyo nalang ako.

Half of me wanted to go to work already, but the other half want to win her back before heading to work.

Is there a possibility that I can win her back tho? Damn. It's driving me insane. I overthink a lot of times. Who wouldn't right?

The remaining 1 month vanished so fast. The cold sea breeze sent shivers through my system but it somehow calmed me a bit.

"Welcome on board, captain Ezrin" the other crew greeted me.

"Thank you, Mr...?" I said as I offered my hand for a handshake.

"Mark Lee Guevara, captain" he gladly accepted my hand as I nodded.

Hindi na ako nag-abala pang magpaaalam kahit kanino bukod kay mama.

I'd be staying in the sea for one year. And I hope that this year would be productive, prosperous, and good year for me.

I want to quit chasing her.

I know that man can make her happier and better. I hope she'll be fine. Pinakawalan ko ang isang malalim na buntong hininga na para bang pinapakawalan ko na rin ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya.

Disclaimer: According to my research there's no cure for Xeroderma Pigmentosum. I just used my imagination here for Tzuyuzumi to be healed in this story. Again there is no cure for XP. But there are ways to prevent them from having cancer, like applying doctor prescribed creams and ointments. If you want to learn more about her disease you can research about it, thank you.
