"Kung papipiliin ka, mas gugustuhin mo bang manatili sa tabi ng taong mahal mo kahit alam mong masasaktan ka at may masasaktang ibang tao o mas pipiliin mong lumayo na lang para hindi ka makapanakit ng tao at mahalin na lang siya sa ganong paraan?" Yan ang tanong na pumasok sa isip ko matapos kong mapanood yung movie na nirekomenda ni Franco saakin. Kung ako ang tatanongin ay alam niyo na siguro kung ano ang pipiliin ko, I really don't want to hurt someone else so mas pinili kong saktan yung sarili ko. Hindi naman kase sa lahat ng oras ay pwede mong ipaglaban ang taong mahal mo, there are times that all you can do is to let them go because the more you hold on to the relationship, mas maraming tao lang ang maaapektuhan at masasaktan. Blessing in disguise na siguro yung nangyaring problem sa company para pansamantala akong makalayo sa kanila kase kung hindi ako lalayo ay mahihirapan lang si Simon to give him and Camille a chance kung from time to time ay makikita niya ako and higit sa lahat ay mas masasaktan si Camille. Magandang opportunity na din para saakin na medyo busy ako sa pagaayos ng problema ng company that I barely had time to think of what happened and may mga bagong kaibigan naman ako na nabuo within my work just like Franco. He was really a big help for me because he is not only helping me with my problem with work but he is also helping me divert my attention from what happened in the Philippines and focus on what my main goal is kaya ako nandito sa ibang bansa. Sa totoo lang, parati kong sinasabi na ayos lang saakin ang lahat but deep inside, sobrang sakit lalo na kung nakikita ko silang magkasama. Valid din naman siguro yung nararamdaman ko since kame pa ni Simon when she entered the picture and I just let them be for the sake of them to try things out for the said baby. Masakit kayang makita ang taong mahal mo na may kasamang ibang babae lalo na kung wala kang magagawa tungkol doon because I let go of our relationship already and ako na din mismo ang nagsabi na subukan ni Simon yung sa kanila ni Camille. Doing the right thing doesn't always mean happiness to you because right decisions might be painful and hard for you just so that the other party involved will be happy but the decisions you made is fulfilling when you see things are going the way it should be. My thoughts was interrupted by several knocks on my door.

Princess, are you awake already? I heard kuya Jackson asked me. Panganay na anak siya ni tito shaun and he was the one managing the company here. Princess din tawag niya saakin kagaya ni tito shaun, actually lahat sila dito ay ganon ang tawag saakin. Ako kase yung nagiisang babae sa aming magpipinsan kaya ganon.
I am already awake kuya. I answered him.
Can I come in? He asked me.
Of course you can. Come in already, the door is not locked anyway. Sabi ko sa kaniya. Hindi ko din kase sinasarado ang pinto because from time to time ay lumalabas ako if nagigising ako sa gabi o madaling araw and nagpapagising din kase ako sa kasama namin dito sa bahay pag maaga yung trabaho ko. Narinig kong bumukas ang pinto and bumungad saakin ang nakangiting si kuya Jackson.
Good morning princess. How was your sleep? Bati at tanong ni kuya saakin at umupo siya sa edge ng bed ko.
Good morning too. I slept well kuya but I woke up early so I've watched a movie to waste some time and for me to be sleepy again but it seems that I made the wrong decision since it made me more wide awake. Natatawang sabi ko dito. Yung antukin ulit kase talaga yung purpose ko kung bakit ako nanood ng movie. Naenjoy ko kase ang panonood and got a little bit carried away dahil medyo similar sa nangyayari saakin yung scene sa movie pero ang kaibahan lang is pinili nilang ipaglaban yung pagmamahalan nila despite of knowing na may masasaktan but in the end natanggap din naman sila nung other party involve so wala silang problem. Malabo kaseng mangyari yun saamin since Camille nga is obsessed with Simon. Hindi niya madaling matatanngap if we choose to fight for our love.
You have been here for quite a while now, you're still used to the time here? Tanong niya saakin.
A little bit. I was just really used to the time in the Philippines. Sagot ko dito. Isa din to sa reason bakit hindi ako nakakatulog ng maayos. Nahihirapan pa din kase ako to adjust sa time dito. Madalas pa rin akong nagigising the time I used to wake up nung nasa Pilipinas pa ako.
I'm sorry. If I just watched the company properly, you might still be there. Paumanhing sabi niya saakin kaya umiling ako agad.
You don't have to say sorry, everything that is happening has its reasons and I know you knew that. Sabi ko dito. Hindi din naman kase niya kasalanan yung nangyaring problem sa company. Madami na siyang nagawa for the company since tito took over the company sa Philippines after dad died.
I know but still I am sorry. I also don't know that things might be related to you. Paumanhin niya ulit saakin.
You really don't have to say sorry. It wasn't your fault and being here gave me a lot of new opportunities and being here, gave me the chance to make things right. Sabi ko dito at ngumiti sa kaniya. Parati siyang ganyan. He always feels guilty dahil daw hindi niya natutukan ng maayos ang company kaya ako nandito ngayon. Hindi naman niya kasalanan kung nanakawan ang company and he is doing a great job handling the company on his own.
The company is quite busy today, aren't you going to check it for awhile? Tanong nito saakin. Busy kase kame sa paghahanap ng possible investors, we are still on the process of it kase.
I will not kuya. I am expecting a call from the philippines and I am preparing for my flight tomorrow morning so I am taking a leave for a few days and you are in charge while I am away. Sabi ko dito. Birthday kase ngayon ni tita Liza so I was expecting them to call me later and about the flight, I will talk about it later.
I see. Don't worry, I will look after the company while you are away. Sagot niya saakin.
I know you will. Sabi ko dito at ngumiti.
I should go and prepare for work. Sabi nito saakin at tumango naman ako sa kaniya. Don't forget to go out for breakfast okay? Paalalang sabi niya saakin.
I will kuya, thank you. Sabi ko dito. Tumango lang siya and tumayo then umalis na din sa kwarto ko.
