PROLOGUE
"Tell me you don't love me, that you don't need me and you're not happy with me anymore, then I'll let you go."
"Hindi na kita m-mahal, Elmo. I don't need you either and I'm not happy with you anymore. Satisfied?" I said while I'm not looking at him. I just can't bear to look straight into his eyes while saying those words.
"No! Look at me, Julie. Say those words again while looking straight into my eyes."
I looked straight into his eyes. Those eyes that captivated my heart the very first time I saw it. Those eyes which always tells me how much he loves me. Those eyes that reflect the pain he's feeling right now. But I need to do this. For myself.
"I don't love you anymore, Elmo. Neither I need you nor happy with you. Let me go, Elmo. Please."
A single tear escape from his eyes. In just a matter of few seconds, he's already crying infront of me.
"You really want this?"
Di ako makasagot. Gusto ko nga ba talaga? I can't bear to see him crying pero I need to stand by my decision.
He kissed my forehead and held my face with his both hands."I'm sorry if I've caused you so much pain. Sorry for breaking my promise to never leave you and not to make you cry. I love you so much, Julie. I hope you'll find a better man. And I do really hope that you'll be happy. Thank you for coming in my life and changing me for the better. I'm letting you go, Julie Anne. I love you so much. Remember that my love for you will stay until I grow old."
And with that, he walked towards the door leaving me crying and broken.

Ang pagsisisi nga naman ay palaging nasa huli.
Bakit nga ba may pagsisisi?
Dahil napagtanto mong mali ang desisyon mo?
Dahil hindi mo alam na ganun pala kahirap ang magiging resulta ng desisyon mo?
Dahil hindi ka masaya?
Dahil mahal mo pa rin siya?
O baka naman, all of the above?
Gusto mong bumalik, pero may babalikan ka pa kaya?
Sobra kang nasaktan, matatanggap mo pa ba siya?
Mahal niyo pa ang isa't-isa pero bakit parang ayaw na nang tadhana na magsama pa kayo?
Paano na?
Is it too late...
Or Not?
