Have you ever laid down with your loved one while looking at the beautiful sky? Isn't it romantic? Because for me, it is. This day is very special to me because I am with him. I was so happy that I wanted to cry.

"You love me so much, don't you?" I can't explain the joy I feel while looking at the sky with so many shining stars with him.

I'm amazed because our mothsarry with Tob is so romantic now, I can't help but smile while glancing at him.

"I love you so much. Only you and no one else." I answered.

I looked at his sad face while staring at me. I want to ask him if there's a problem... But it's like someone is whispering to me 'don't'

I can see a little drop in his eye.

Is he crying?

"If you love someone, you will do whatever they want? Is that true?" He suddenly ask.

"Yes, and I'm ready to do whatever you want. Just say it." I said smiling.

"Can you let me go?"

It was as if the sky fell on me from what I heard. Hindi nag rehistro ang sinabi niya sa utak ko. Nagulat akong napaupo tsaka tumingin sa kaniya, umupo rin siya kaya't magkaharap na kaming dalawa.

"Wait, what are you saying, love? Hindi nakakatawa." I said seriously as a tears forming in my eyes.

Sana... nag-bibiro lang siya, sana hindi totoo ang sinabi niya, sana-

"I'm tired."

"A-anong sinasabi mo, Tob?" May problema ka ba? Please, hindi ito magandang biro."

"I'm serious, Martina."

"Why?" that's the only thing that came out of my mouth. I can't speak anymore because tears are running from my eyes.

That's all I need-To ask him why.

"Ubos na ang tinta para dagdagan pa ang ating pahina."

I was stunned by what he said, I knew what he wanted to convey to me.

"Edi bumili ka, mahirap ba 'yon?"

"Kahit sobrang layo ng tindahan... pupuntahan ko, kahit sa bundok lang makakabili niyon... aakyatin ko, kung nasa ilalim ng tubig... lalanguyin ko. Basta ang gusto ko lang ay maipagpatuloy natin ang ating kuwento."

"Hindi tayo ang para sa isa't isa." kitang kita kong nasasaktan na rin siya ngunit ako 'yong mas nasasaktan sa aming dalawa.

"Tayo... T-Tayo sana, kaso bakit ikaw ang nagdidikta? Hayaan mo lang kasi 'yong tadhana ang siyang magdikta sa relasiyon nating dalawa."

"Ito na siguro 'yon. Ito na 'yong oras, araw, panahanon... na hanggang dito nalang ang ating pag-sasama."

"Bakit kita ile-let go kung mahal pa natin ang isa't isa? Bigyan mo 'ko ng dahilan..." wala sa sariling sambit ko.

"H-Hindi na kita mahal. I fell out of love, at pagod na pagod na ako, Martina."

"Napagod narin ako Tob." malungkot akong ngumiti sa kaniya, "Pero hindi ibig sabihin no'n, sumusuko na ako... kailanman ay hinding hindi ako mapapagod na mahalin ka."

"Marti-"

"Kung pagod ka na, pwede ka namang mag-pahinga 'diba?" malungkot kong tanong sa kaniya.

"I'm sorry, hindi na talaga... Ayoko na." aniya, tumayo siya at aakmang aalis na ngunit nag-salita ako kaya't napahinto siya.

"Sandali..." humahagulgol na pag-papatigil ko sa kaniya.

"I love you, so I will give you what you ask for..." taka siyang humarap sa 'kin, inayos ko na muna ang aking sarili bago nagsalita.

"I'm now ready to set you free, If loving you means that I have to let you go, then your free now, my love. Meeting you was a dream, and I need to wake up now."
