To Mi Amor Amethyst,

I wrote this letter to confess my unsaid feelings and the truth I've hidden from you. I hope that you read this until the end.

I'm sorry for putting you in danger, and for always inflicting traumas that locked you in the past. Simula bata pa tayo, ako na ang palaging may kasalanan. But you often save me from trouble, you take the blames that I should.

Nang sandaling nalaman ko na may mga taong gustong kumuha sa'yo, I started the fire that caused your loved ones to leave and I think that's when you've changed drastically.

I don't see you smile often. So I tried to distance myself to you, leaving you with guilt. But before I go overseas, I met your father. He made me promise that I will protect you at all costs even if it costed my life.

At first I don't understand why he made me do it. But I accepted it to escape the guilt I feel inside. I've been protecting you secretly all my life and the only one that I failed to do was at the Silver Cruise Line port.

Because it was crowdy, I had a hard time covering for you. That's when I decided to get closer to you since I found out that you had selective memory loss and couldn't remember me.

Being closer to you would make it easier to protect you. But I have a mission that time too, it is to find where the chip is. That's when I finally knew why you're always in danger. Because the mission we couldn't complete includes you.

Three woman holds the two chip with the black list. I was furious by the thought of your father doing this to you. But I don't have the right.

Remember when I confessed to you inside the mansion? It is true, Mi Amor. I like you and it deepened whenever I saw you.

You're like a sensitive feather that's always whisked away by the wind that I am willing to protect and follow. Wherever it may lead me, a cliff, a thorned surface I will never stop protecting it.

A promise or none, I will forever protect you. Even if the world fall apart. I will make sure that your figure will be the last thing that I'd see before I close my eyes for eternity.

And let me make this clear, Mi Señora. Our relationship was real for me. I treated you by following my heart's desire. None of those is an act, Mi Amor. I'm so sorry for decieving you.

"Please, live for me Mi Amor Amethyst."

Yours truly,
Amatheon De Silva

"Husshhh! Tahan na, ayaw ni Theon ng iniiyakan siya. Kaya ako hindi naiyak eh." Sabi ni Ava na inilingan ko. "I-I can't stop it."  Hinimas himas niya ang likod ko at sinabi ang mga comforting words.

"Hindi ako marunong magpayo par, kaya iiyak mo nalang sa balikat ko." Hindi makapaniwalang napatawa ako ng kauntian sa sinabi niya. "Joke ba yan?" Taning ko. "Hinde, but glad to make you laugh kahit pa saglit lang." Huminga ako ng malalim.

"I suddenly want soju." Napangiti naman siya at pumisa-pisa sa cellphone bago ilang minutong nanahimik. Napatingin naman ako sa pintuan at nakita ang pag-ngiwi ni Ava dahil mukhang may unexpected na pumasok.
