They both spent their nights trying to complete and fix the time machine, and finally they had fixed it after a year.
Day after day, her feelings grew for him but he didn't know what her heart wants to say.
She hid her feelings up until now, and she doesn't have a plan telling Pablo that she loves her.
She badly wants to ask if his heart was beating as fast as hers but she was too afraid to know the answer.
It was time to say goodbye.
With broken heart, she stood up there to watch as Pablo checks all of the parts. A tear had escaped her heart but she quickly wiped it before Pablo could even see it.
She regretted that she had gave him all the parts that he needs.
Tears then again escaped her eyes, Pablo stood up in front of her and wiped her tears, he then said, “Patawad, pero hinde pwede. Hinde pa tama ang oras, magkaiba ang oras natin, Erika. Ayoko talagang umalis pero kailangan ko”.
“Hinde kita malilimutan, Erika. Mahal kita.” He smiled as he brushed his hair and kissed her with tears.
They cherished the moments they had left.
He then wears the bag but before he sets the timeline, Erika says something: “Mahal din kita, Pablo. Paalam, aking Dayang”
He smiled as he kept scrolling, “Paalam, aking Dayang”
She turned away as she heard the engine hummed to life, she can't bear the sight of seeing the love of her love leave her life go away.
It's too painful too watch, it tears her up inside.
It tears her up even more that at those moment she didn't make him feel like she trully love her.
End of chapter.
