THIRD PERSON'S POV
One stormy night, amidst a heated argument between Arkin and Eliana, Arkin decided to clear his mind by driving to get some fresh air. Little did he know, that drive would lead to a tragic accident, claiming his life.
Eliana's world shattered when she received the devastating news that her boyfriend's life was claimed by a car accident shortly after their heated argument. Instead of anger, a mixture of deep sorrow and regret overwhelmed her.
6 years later
Six years had passed, yet Eliana found herself trapped in the clutches of grief, unable to break free from the haunting memories of that fateful day na para bang kahapon lang ito nangyari. The sadness and regrets lingered like uninvited guests, refusing to loosen their grip on her wounded heart.
The world around her had moved on, but for Eliana, the hands of time seemed to have frozen in that moment of loss. The colors of life appeared muted, and joy felt elusive, overshadowed by the shadows of the past.
Sinubukan ng mga kaibigan at pamilya ni Eliana na tulungan siyang maka-move forward ngunit hindi ito sapat. The therapist's sessions, though momentarily soothing, couldn't completely bridge the gap between the living and the departed.
"Eliana, may alam akong therapist na nag-ooffer ng session para makausap yung mga namatay na. Do you want to try para kahit papaano makausap mo si Arkin?" Reign said, Eliana's best friend. Eliana accepted Reign's suggestion and went to the said therapist. Eventually, the therapist started the session.
Pumikit si Eliana at agad na tinawag si Arkin sa kaniyang isipan. Until a light appears and it revealed Arkin. Agad na napaluha si Eliana dahil sa mahabang taon ay muli niyang nakita ang taong mahal niya.
Eliana held Arkin in a tight embrace, feeling the warmth of his presence. "Miss na miss na kita. Pwede bang bumalik ka na lang? O kaya kunin mo na ako." she said. "Eli, hindi pwede. Marami ka pang gustong gawin 'di ba?" Arkin answered. At that moment, a floodgate of emotions opened, and she confessed her regrets about their last conversation, the words left unspoken haunting her like a relentless ghost.
Arkin, on the other hand, gazed into Eliana's eyes, a mixture of sadness and compassion reflected in his gaze. "It's time to let go, Eliana," he softly uttered, his words carrying the weight of both longing and a profound understanding. "You deserve to embrace genuine happiness, even if it means letting go of me."
The room echoed with the heaviness of their emotions, the unspoken pain, and the bittersweet acceptance that love sometimes demands letting go for the sake of the other's happiness.
After ng session ay umiyak lang nang umiyak si Eliana sa kaibigan. Hindi niya maipaliwanag ang kaniyang nararamdaman. Imbis na sundin ang sinabi ni Arkin, ay mas nangibabaw lang ang kagustuhan nitong sundan si Arkin.
1 week later
A week later, Eliana's heart couldn't withstand the burden of her sorrow and regrets. The weight of her pain and stress became an overwhelming pressure, an unconquerable presence that debilitated her immune system and eventually led to a heart attack. The room that once reverberated with echoes of their memories now held only the hushed stillness of her absence.
As Eliana's lifeless body lay in her room, the autopsy report confirmed what her loved ones could only guess. Severe pain and unyielding stress had taken their toll on her, reaching a tragic climax in the cessation of a heart that had once pulsated with the fervor of love.
On the other side of existence, Eliana and Arkin found themselves reunited in a realm beyond the reach of pain and sorrow. Their spirits entwined in a dance of eternal happiness, the shadows of their past struggles dissolving into the radiant light of enduring love.
Arkin, with a smile that held a depth of understanding, whispered to Eliana, "We are finally together, my love. The pain is over, and we can embrace the happiness we always deserved."
In that celestial embrace, Eliana and Arkin discovered solace, traversing the boundaries of earthly trials and emerging into a realm where love conquered all. Their reunion became a testament to the enduring power of love, a love that persisted beyond the limitations of mortal existence.
