Two people bound by their unusual past.
One wants to go back.
The other has no idea.
Until their love finds its own way to each other.
(The setting is in Texas, USA)

I had two things to do today to at least limit our speculations of the past. Para sa ikakatahimik namin ni Cheska. Wala naman kaming puwede baguhin. But clarifying things that will make us move on in a clean slate.
Iniwan ko muna siya sa bahay ng parents niya and I made appointments to two men that were part of the events that took place five years ago. I need answers to some very important questions.
I was glad na nangyari ang panaginip ni Cheska habang narito kami sa Pilipinas. It would be hard to do this kung nasa US kami. God really have a perfect timing.
And although I am excited for our flight tomorrow. It would be a lot better to know na wala kaming maiiwan na issue. I was in the middle of that thought when a man stood beside my table. Napatayo ako. "Gerome?"
Tumango siya at nag offer ng handshake. I took it. The man was shorter than me and a lot bulkier. He was also darker and wearing a sports shirt while I was in my usual shorts sleeves buttons up shirt. "Thank you for coming." I motioned for him to sit at the cushioned chair in front of me.
"It's all good. Kumusta si Cheska?"
"She's okay, nasa bahay ng parents niya. We are flying back to Texas tomorrow morning. I just want to do this once and for all."
He nodded in understanding.
"Please order anything," sabi ko sa kanya nang lumapit ang waiter.
He just ordered coffee while I was already drinking mine. He faced me then. "Tungkol ba kay Katrina ang dahilan kaya mo ako tinagpo dito?"
Hindi ako nagsinungaling. "Yes, I just want to verify something to get this out of my head. You see, until now hindi pa rin lubusang nakakaalala si Cheska."
Parang nagulat siya doon. "It had been five years."
"I know. There are lot's of unanswered questions. May mga nangyaring hindi namin mapagtagpo dahil hindi niya matandaan."
Bumuntong hininga siya. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, gusto ko lang malaman 'yong puwede kong makuhang information from you. Alam mo ba na buntis si Trina nang maaksidente sila?"
I saw guilt crossed his face. "I do, I partly blamed myself for what happened. Noong araw na maaksidente sila ay galing sa amin si Kat para sabihin na buntis nga siya. I don't know what to do. I am only twenty then. Hindi ko pa kayang mag-asawa. But I am already a part time working student, so sinabi ko sa kanya that I will support her and the baby. Hindi pa lang kami puwedeng ikasal."
It was so bad to feel relieved given the situation, but that's what I'm feeling right at this moment. Pero kailangan kong makasiguro. "Wala ba kayong pinagtalunan before the incident? Hindi ba kayo nag-away? Nag cool off or nag break?"
