BitterSweet [COMPLETED]

PROLOGUE

"Cal, kailan mo ba balak umuwi dito sa pinas? Wag mong sabihing wala ka na talagang balak?".

"Of course, I have plans".   

" I'm glad to hear that. By the way, how's life, architect Calyd Hoo?". 

" Well, everything is fine. I heard you open a bar. Congratulation, Lan".    nag-aaral pa lang kami 'yan na talaga ang gusto niya.

"Yeah, finally. We miss you. I hope to see you soon. Kasson won't bother you anymore, he already has a family, so don't hesitate to come back".

I just heard his name again. After all these years, I tried to move forward, leaving everything behind, but why did I feel this way when I just heard his name? It feels like all the pain I went through is useless.

"I'm sorry Cal, I shouldn't have mentioned his name".

"It's okay, Lan. I'm happy on my own, so there's no need to worry. I have no regrets".

Love is not enough to make a couple stay forever. I love him genuinely; that's the best thing I did without regretting it. I learned a lot, and the pain he caused made me realize my worth and value as a person. 

I can't deny the fact that I still think of him. Our dreams, our promises, everything about him

Sometimes, I want to go back to seven years ago, when I was a high school student, and Kasson and I were still happy with each other. Even if it's a dream, I am willing to keep dreaming.
