"Do you believe in mermaids?" the woman asked his boyfriend.
"Of course not, mga gawa-gawa lang sila," his boyfriend replied.
She smiled at his answer. "but if you'll see a mermaid, What will you do?"
"As I said, honey, there's no such thing as mermaids, they're only made up by the people's imagination," he replied confidently.
"Then what if I'm a mermaid? will you still love me?" she asked seriously waiting for his answer.
"Nice joke ha-ha-ha," he sarcastically said.
They talked until they bid their goodbyes.
After they part ways the woman quickly went to the sea. And swam underwater.
She was glad that her boyfriend didn't know her true form. That's her daily routine.
They were happy and peaceful not until when that day came...
"Happy 1st anniversary love!" the woman cheerfully said.
"Let's end this," the man said which made the woman's heart aches.
"Wait, why-y? we were perfect, everything's f-fine what's wrong?" the woman asked hoping that he was just joking.
"You're a mermaid, I'm a human, and we're not meant to each other. And weren't destined for each other. Imposible tayong mag katuluyan," he said.
"H-how do you know? no, no, no I mean y-you love m-me right?"
"I love you, but we can't," the man said and sooner loud sirens were heard. Then an injection was shot into her neck.
The woman suddenly found out that she was in a museum, displaced for people. She can't move, she was stuck in the wall hanging.
— Forbidden Love.
