The park is bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, casting long shadows across the empty benches. Lyka stands near a lamppost, nervously shifting her weight from one foot to another.

She glances at her watch, anxiety etched on her face. In her heart, she carries a secret love for Cheska, but she knows she must suppress her emotions, as Cheska is already in a committed relationship with Yna.

Lyka whispers to herself, "Stay strong, Lyka. You can't let your feelings get in the way."

Lyka takes a deep breath, her eyes scanning the park for any sign of Cheska.

Her heart flutters with anxiety and a twinge of sadness.

She knows that meeting Cheska tonight means putting her feelings aside and ending their interaction.

Cheska walks briskly through the park, her face etched with a mix of sadness and determination.

Unbeknownst to her, Gabrielle, Cheska's ex-lover, appears from the shadows, a somber expression on her face.

"Cheska, I heard about your grandmother. I'm so sorry for your loss."

Cheska stops abruptly, her eyes narrowing as she recognizes Gabrielle's voice. She turns to face her, her demeanor cold and distant.

"Thank you, Gabrielle. Your condolences are noted, but I'd rather be alone right now."

Gabrielle's eyes well up with tears, her voice quivering with desperation.

"Cheska, I know we ended things badly, but I still love you. I've never stopped loving you. Please, give me another chance."

Cheska's expression remains unchanged, her heart hardened against Gabrielle's pleas.

"Gabrielle, this isn't the time or the place for this. We've moved on, and I'm no longer interested. Please respect my boundaries."

Gabrielle's shoulders slump in defeat, tears streaming down her face. She takes a step closer, reaching out to embrace Cheska.

"Cheska, I can't bear the thought of losing you forever. Please, just give me one more chance. I'll do anything to make it right."

Cheska's eyes dart around anxiously, her discomfort palpable. She tries to pull away, but Gabrielle's grip tightens, refusing to let go.

Cheska yelled, "Gabrielle, let go of me! I've made it clear that I'm not interested. This is not the time or the place for this conversation."

Gabrielle's eyes well up with tears, her voice filled with desperation.

"Cheska, I still love you. I've never stopped loving you. Please, give me another chance."

Cheska's expression remains guarded, her heart still healing from their past.

"Gabrielle, we've moved on. What we had is in the past. I'm no longer interested, and I think it's best if we both accept that."

Gabrielle's shoulders slump as tears stream down her face. She takes a step closer, reaching out to embrace Cheska.

"Cheska, I can't bear the thought of losing you forever. Please, just give me one more chance. I'll do anything to make it right."

Cheska's eyes dart around anxiously, her discomfort evident. She tries to pull away, but Gabrielle's grip tightens, refusing to let go.

But then, Lyka emerges from afar, her heart sinking at the sight of Gabrielle clinging to Cheska. Jealousy courses through her veins, but she fights to keep her emotions in check.
