A/N: Wag po natin husgahan si Daniel agad. Hahaha.

"C'mon Kath. Close your eyes. Count one to ten then say 'everything will be alright'."
I keep on chanting while I'm still inside my car after that heavy confrontation with DJ. I think I need to cool down before I drive. Mahal ko si Daniel pero mahal ko rin ang sarili ko. Hindi titigil ang mundo para lang sa isang tao. I'll keep on doing what I am doing since day one. Kailangang ipakita ko kay Daniel na malakas ako. But not long after, the door opened showing a furious yet pained? I don't know pero parang I can see pain in DJ's eyes.
"Baba."
"What? No. Go away DJ."
"Ang sabi ko BABA!"
Parang tuod na bumaba ako sa kotse ko at dinala niya ako sa shotgun seat at duon pinaupo saka siya pumasok at naupo sa driver's seat.
"You think I will let you go? Not in a million years. Ayoko ng maging tanga."
Pinaandar niya ang kotse ko at dinala sa park na dating pinagdalhan niya sakin dati. Saan ba tong park na'to? I mentally noted to ask him later kapag ok na ang sitwasyon.
Ilang minuto na ang lumipas pero wala pa ring naimik sa'min. Ni walang bumaba. Dito lang kami sa loob ng akmang pababa na ako ay hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at pinigilan ako.
"Don't leave me please."
Bumuntong-hininga muna ako bago ko siya sagutin. "Daniel naman eh. Don't make this hard for me. I'm willing to give up this love for you. Masakit na kasi eh."
"NO!"
Napapitlag ako sa malakas niyang pagsigaw. Hinigpitan niya ang hawak sa aking kamay. Hinarap niya ako sa kanya at hinawakan pareho ang kamay ko bago masuyong hinalikan.
"Kath. Please. I don't want you away. Forgive me. Yung kay Ella? Noon lang yon. Wala na'yon. Nasasaktan ba kita? I'll make it up to you. Just, just give me another chance.I promise I won't screw this time. Kahit last chance na. I just don't know what to do kung pati ikaw mawala. Believe me or not I started loving you. I don't know when or how it just happened. Please. P-please."
