Prologue

"Hello."

"Goodbye."

"I promise."

"I'm sorry."

"I'll stay with you."

"I can't stand it."

"Trust me."

"I didn't mean to do that."

"I love you."

"I loved you."

"PUTANGINA MO TADHANA!" Sigaw ko mula sa taas ng bundok na inakyat pa namin ng barkada ko. "Nagsasawa na ako sayo hayop ka! Palagi nalang ako! Palagi nalang ako yung talo! Ako yung mali! Ako yung iniiwan! Ako yung tanga! Ano bang kasalanan ko sa'yong animal  ka!"

Hanggang sa 'di ko namamalayan na sunod-sunod ng pumapatak ang luha ko. Hinagod ni Ami ang likod ko upang patahanin ako pero 'pag naalala ko lahat ng pasakit na binigay sa'kin ng mundo, naiiyak talaga ako.

"Isigaw mo lang, Abby. Hanggang sa maputol 'yang ugat mo at tuluyang matapos ang paghihirap mo." Otomatikong napairap ako sa sinabi ni Rainika.

"Tama na Abby. Lilipas din ang oras at hihilom ang sakit na nararamdaman mo." Ami said with a soft tone.

I wiped my tears away and stood straight.

Hinarap ko ang kalawakan at ngumiti. "The pain isn't enough to strangle me." I whispered that made Aviana chuckled.

"That's our girl." She said.

I placed both of my hands on the side of my mouth to support my voice as I scream out loud.

"Putangina mo hinahamon kita!" I shouted. "HINDI MO 'KO MAPAPATUMBA!"

Life is all about experiences. And you have to be strong all the time. Keep you guard up and stood straight as you face tomorrow with another smile.

Yes we cry. We crumpled like a baby and we sob. But that doesn't mean you're weak. A person who never cry is the real weak. 

Rejection.

Leaving.

Death.

Break ups.

Curses.

Failures.

Disappointment.

It's so painful. But that's a part of being alive. And you have to accept it. Deal with it. In order for you to survive in this game named,

Life.

Suso mo nga malusog, utak mo naman nangangayayat.
