The stars had already mysteriously vanished, and the atmosphere was black, as though a big storm was anticipated to make an appearance the next day. Muli na naman ba na dadaan ang malakas na bagyo na sisira sa mga gusali? O sadyang ang mga bituin ngayon ay unti-unti ng nawawala at naglalaho dahil sa natatakpan ng madilim na usok?

Lagi kong tinatanong ang sarili ko kung deserve ko ba lahat ng sakit na nararamdaman ko. Minsan mapapaisip na lang ako kung swerte ba talaga ako dahil nabuhay ako sa malakas na apoy na iyon o malas ako dahil hindi pa rin natatapos ang paghihirap ko. 

That September night, gabi na pakiramdam ko tinalikuran ako ng panginoon gabi na pakiramdam ko ay nag-iisa ako sa madilim na mundo. I asked him, bakit kailangan mangyari ang lahat ng ito? bakit kailangan may mawala? then someone told me that " Everything happens for a reason" Hindi ko alam kung magagalit ba ako o iiyak dahil yung tao na nagsabi sa akin non ay yung taong hindi ko inaasahan na maintindihan ang sakit na nararamdaman ko. You were the one who stayed by my side at night when I thought everyone had deserted me. You were always there for me, never allowed me to feel sad or cry, and constantly assured me that everything happens for a reason.

He said he would cherish me like the most brilliant star at night, but I turned him down. That evening, I came to realize that life does not last forever; it has a time limit.

I  swear to cherish you as much as the first dazzling star in the morning if we ever cross paths again.
