This is a story of a man who had once given a promise.
They both gazed under the stars, the sparkling orbs and fixed constellations never failed to awe the couple. It was a night full of wonder and love, a feeling that they both share. The boy took a deep breath before confessing, "Luna?" He called. "Hmm?" The girl sat up as their eyes locked in. "Everyday in my life I always prayed for your safety and love, I keep thinking that I can't live a life without you and that-" he breath once again as he caressed the maiden's hand. "I want to be with you forever, Luna I am ready to face the world with you, beside me. Will you let me do so?" The girl then said yes to his confession, Joseph took her hand and gently kissed them. His lips touched her smooth porcelain skin. With a promise to forever and being embrace by one another, the couple has yet to imagine the storms and rainbows the fate has to offer.
A story of which the fate challenged them.
"Look Joseph, I want to study far away from here, I-"
"Then we can manage that, you'll be there far away from me but this." He grabbed her hand place it gently unto his chest, to his beating heart.
"This will be with you." The girl quickly withdraw. "I can't we have to, we need to." With those words that escaped her lips, the boy then surrendered.
"Just know that I will be with you all the time, I will support you no matter what." He promised once more. And yet once more, they had never reach each other again after. Years and years.
A story of which promises are meant to be broken.
"Engr. Luna!"
A story of a girl, a woman.
"Atty. Joseph!"
