Sorry po sa super late upload, super dami lang po talagang ginagawa sa school since I'm the class secretary. Mas marami pa pong utos sa school kaysa sa bahay hehe :>

I'm so sorry for the typos and grammatical errors. Thank you!

Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. It's been that long since Leontine stopped calling them. Therisha tried to call all their friends, but none of them knew what happened or where her wife is. Even Tita Lena doesn't answer her phone calls. Where are you, Leon? What happened to you? Have you completely given up on our family? On me?


"Are you okay, Isha?"


Therisha looked up to see her father standing beside her bedroom's door. She put her phone in her pocket and took a deep sigh. Her father took a seat beside her, looking down.


"Do you still love her?" Her father started, intertwining his hands together. "Leontine."


Therisha took a glance at him. "You know my answer, Dad. It has always been like that."


"What's holding you back, then? 'Yung nangyari pa rin ba?" Her dad asks, looking at her.


"..."


"I'm not saying na balikan mo siya.. I want you to be happy, Isha. Alam kong mahal niyo pa rin ang isa't isa kaya gusto kong sundin mo ang puso mo. Hindi ko sinasabing mali ang pag-alis mo, your feelings are valid, I know that. But think about her also, nasasaktan din siya, and I know na mas nasasaktan si Nathalie sa sitwasyon niyong dalawa. Hindi niya naiintindihan 'yon ngayon kaya mas lalo siyang nasasaktan."


"I'm sorry, Dad."


"No, don't be sorry." Her father puts his hand on the daughter's shoulder. "Ayokong may masaktan sainyong tatlo, so I want you to make your decision.. at kung ano mang maging desisyon mo, I'm still here."

On a rainy day, Therisha was just reading a book when her phone suddenly received a notification.


[Leon sent a photo]


She immediately composed herself after that name popped up on the screen. Eyes are widely open, she clicked the notification. Therisha clicked the photo, and a picture of a sunset flashed in her eyes.


[Leon sent messages]

: *photo*
: Hi, Isha! I'm sorry. It's been seven months.
: How are you? I hope I'm not disturbing you.
: I took a photo of this sunset earlier. It looks pretty, doesn't it?
: I just remembered the time when you told me we were having a baby, the sun was setting off that time :)
