A PROMISE

True love

Ngayon na yong flight ko papuntang Australia."
Gwen hihintayin mo naman ako diba? nag mamaka-awang tanong ni Andrew kasintahan ko.

"Kahit hindi mo sabihin ako'y maghihintay Sayo kahit gaano pa katagal , kahit Walang kasiguraduhan maghihintay parin ako sa iyong pagbabalik tapusin mo muna ang pangarap mo ng sa ganon ay pwede na tayong magmahalan dalawa."

And on our last moment, he kissed me, which I immediately reciprocated. My heart tightened with the thought that this would be the final embrace and kiss I would receive from him before he departs. But this is for the best for both of us, as there is a right time for everything. For now, we will prioritize pursuing our dreams, even though it's difficult and painful for our emotions to be far apart.

" Ipromise, my love, that once I fulfill my dreams, I will come back to you and we will get married. I pledge this to you , You are my first and will be my last love. The stars in the sky and the moon's radiance bear witness to how much I love you." I cried even more when he took something out of his pocket and placed it on my ring finger.

A promise ring. "This signifies my pure and unconditional love, and this ring symbolizes the eternal love between you and me until the end. Take care always, my love, because you alone possess my heart, and you are mine alone, even if we have no means of communication. Always remember that I will forever be yours, and you will always be here in my heart. No one can replace the one and only princess in my life."

I cried even more at what he said. You are my life, Andrew. My love for you will never be replaced, no matter what happens, you are more than enough for me. I won't find anyone else like you. I will wait for your return, and when that happens, we will be successful in life, able to help our families and do the things we want to do. Good luck to both of us, my love.

"If you miss me, just look at the sky we're under. It will remind you of our love and how we are connected. The stars above shine brightly, illuminating our path. They bear witness to the depth of my emotions for you. So whenever you feel lonely or long for my presence, gaze at the sky and remember that I am always with you."

"You too, Andrew, always take care and don't dwell on me too much, okay?" I forced a smile, even though my eyes were swollen from crying.

"It's okay that we don't have communication for now while we are apart, so we won't miss each other too much. Just always focus your attention on your dreams that you want to achieve. Together, we will fulfill our separate dreams while symbolizing one heart, deeply and truly loving you, Andrew. Until we meet again, my love."

Hanggang sa pwede na.

I received various greetings from my colleagues at work, and it brings so much joy and a wonderful feeling when I am able to save another life. It strengthens my motivation even more to help people in need and those suffering from illness.
