To all the things that I've done, even my death was not enough to be paid for my sins and the pain that I've caused her.

But why are you smiling to me now, Em?
Dapat galit ka. You should've blamed me for everything. Naging wala akong kwentang asawa sa'yo.

I really don't deserve someone like you, Emily.
"H-Hon, is that really you?"
"Jess, I have been waiting for you."
I don't know if this is what they called heaven, but being with the love of your life serves already as my eden. It's doesn't matter to where am I. As long as it's with her.

And I know, that it's not a dream this time.
"Hindi ka ba galit? D-Do I really deserve to be with
you?"

She shooked her head and walked closer to me.
"Jess, ako nga palamura pero tanggap pa ng
Diyos."
"Oh diba nasa heaven na tayo!"
Mabilis ko namang tinakpan ang mukha ko at umiyak.

I can't believe that she's still carrying her cheerfulness. Akala ko talaga ay hindi ko na masasaksihan ang mga kalokohan niya.

"Jess? Sir Jess? Hon? Umiiyak ka ba?"
"I-I just couldn't believe it. Hindi ka naman siguro mawawala ulit ano?"
She smiled. "Hmm, depende if may makita akong mas gwapong angel kesa sayo."
T-This woman!

I bit my lip and pinched both of her cheeks. "No.
Dapat ako lang. You will stay with me forever."
I stared at her beautiful face.

Siya lang ang pahinga ko. Akala ko talaga ay hindi ko na ulit siya makikita. It has been years since she decided to leave me.

But after all this years, siya parin ang mahal ko.
Walang pinagbago.
"Emily, mahal na mahal kita."
"Alam mo bang nasiraan talaga ako ng bait nung iniwan mo ako?"
She nodded her head. "Oo. Tapos mukha ka pa ngang matanda eh, hindi kana nag sha-shave."
I smiled softly. "Is that even important? Doon ka talaga concern, Em?"

"In truth, Jess.....natakot ako para sa'yo. I know how you suffered because of us.
"Nag aalala ako para sa'yo. A-And, I really thought that you would forget about me and marry again." She said that and bowed her head.
I lifted her chin, "C-Can I kiss you, Em?"
She smiled and nodded her head.
I started to kiss her so gently. I am wondering if what I have now is an another life, or is it just part of my conciousness,
If this is heaven or another world. Wala na akong pake.
"Emily, I'm sorry for cheating on you. Maling mali ako doon.
"I would even accept if you won't forgive me. Wala akong karapatang huminging tawad sa'yo. M-
Maybe, it was the reason why you are doubting me."
