Him: Do you love Yesterdays?
Her: Yeah! I do love Yesterdays. Why?
Him: But Yesterdays gives everyone pain sometimes. Leaving them bad memories that they can't forget forever
Her: Maybe. But Yesterdays leaves good memories too.
Him: Good memories? I don't think so. It only gives us bad memories of the past
Her: No! Without Yesterdays. You can't have a wonderful day like today. Isn't today a wonderful day?
Him: It's not. Maybe, for you. But for me, Yesterday was worst and it was the reason why I'm in pain today.
Her: Then, forget it if it's bad.
Him: Yesterdays are like Shadows. Even you can't see it, it is still there. Just like bad memories, even how you tried of forgetting it. It will stay.

“Take all the documents here in my office and give to Mr. Clinton” utos nito sa kaniyang sekretarya. Nag-aalangan naman ang sekretarya nito na lumapit sa kaniya. Boses pa lang kasi nitong sobrang lamig ay nakakatakot na, Lalo pa kapag tumingin sa iyo ang kulay Abo niyang mga mata.
He looked at her with his cold stares“Are you deaf? I don't repeat my words” He irritatingly said.
Magkasunod na napalunok ang kaniyang sekretarya. Everyone was afraid of him and no one dares to oppose him.
Nagmadaling kinuha ng kaniyang sekretarya ang mga papeles saka mabilis na lumabas sa kaniyang opisina. Iritado naman siyang sumandal sa kaniyang swivel chair. He took off his glasses and start to massage his temple. His employees was always giving him a headache
Palagi na lang nitong pinapainit ang ulo niya. Kung kaya niya lang sanang trabahuhin lahat ay hindi na siya magha-hire pa ng mga tangang empleyado kagaya ng sekretarya niya
He looked down to his drawer under his table and took out a picture frame. Ang kaninang iritado nitong mukha ay napalitan ng malungkot na ekspresyon. He stared at the girl on the picture. She's really beautiful
“I miss you. I will wait no matter how long it will take” he said. He put down the picture on his table facing him. He smiled. A smile with no sign of happiness, but only pain and agony.
He continued doing his work. Reading and signing papers. Iyon ang naging routine niya sa loob ng anim na taon kapag nasa kompanya siya. Isinubsob nito sa trabaho ang lahat ng oras at kaniyang buhay. He never talk to people, nor jamm with his friends like he used to.
He became lifeless, since the day she left him.
“Still here?”
Tanong ng babaeng bigla na pumasok sa kaniyang opisina. She wearing a smile on her pretty face. Saglit siyang sinulyapan ng binata saka muling nagpatuloy sa pagbabasa.
“Are you going to your Dad's birthday tomorrow?” the girl asked before she sat down the sofa
“No” tipid at may bahid ng lamig na sagot naman nito sa babae. The girl sighed. Ano pa nga ba ang aasahan niyang sagot mula sa binata. He's been like this for the passed six years. He treat his family like strangers.
“How about your mom's birthday next month?” the girl asked again, pero wala na siyang nakuhang response mula sa binata. She sighed again.
“I have a photoshoot sa New York next week. Baka hindi na muna kita masasamahan sa mga lakad mo” saad niya rito. Tumigil naman ang binata sa ginagawa saka tumingin sa kaniya
