The Truth Behind His Sorrowful Eyes

One Shot

I saw him frequently but I can’t go near him. I didn’t notice every time I’m walking in our village, his image is what my eyes and mind are looking for. Until one day, I can’t see him under that tree who supposed to be his favorite spot. Days and months passed but there’s no sign of him. That time questions form in my mind, Is he really true? Or he's just part of my imagination?

I’m Artemis Danaia, a college student taking-up Bachelor on Secondary Education. Years na ang lumipas but still I remember how I tried to go near him and gathered information about him. I know what I saw and I know I saw him. Until now he is the chaos in my mind.

Di ko inaasahan na darating ang panahong magpapakita syang muli. Ang lalaki sa aking munting ala-ala ngunit sa pagtatagpo ng aming landas ay matatahimik na ng aba ako? O patuloy pa rin syang magiging misteryo sa buong buhay ko?
