If she let him go . .

Wait ...

Hindi po ito sisira ng mga puso, ulit.

Patawarin n'yo na po ang author. May pinagdadaanan lang. Chos!!

Heto na!!

"♪♪ And once again I'm thinking about taking the easy way out. But if I let you go I would never know what my life would be holding you close to me la la la ♪♪" Sarah sings as she is making her way around Lea's office looking at some things that would catch her attention.

Lea sighed. "Sarah, please. Stop."

"Bakit? Kumakanta lang naman po ako. Affected ka po? Relate?" Sarah teased then grinned at her.

"Hindi ko na nga malaman paano ko ibibigay 'tong resignation ko e, nang-aasar ka pa dyan." She sighed, the one she does when she's being clueless of the right things to do.

Sarah sat on one of the chairs in front of her table and looked at her intently, "Kala ko ba, you'll fight to win him back? Bakit nagre-resign ka ngayon ate?"

"Wala na akong ipaglalaban, Sarah. May pamilya na yung --"

"Bakit? May wedding ring ba?" Sarah asked her smiling meaningfully.

She sighed again and turned her swivel chair, turning her back on Sarah. Pero,

Meron nga ba?

Lea has already made up her mind. She's going to resign and leave Aga's company. It is, according to her, her first step to moving on.

She knocked on Aga's door twice before she heard him letting her enter.

"Good Afternoon, Sir!" She greeted him with quite a low voice.

"Oh, Miss Salonga. Ready to give the answer you owe me?" Aga asked her naughtily. Oo nga pala, yung tanong ni Aga kung bakit lagi s'yang nag-eeffort pumunta sa office n'ya.

Naaalala n'ya pa yun? Di bale, hindi naman na mauulit eh, magre-resign na s'ya.

"Ah. I'm sorry if I've been a disruption to you sir. Gusto ko lang ho talagang maging hands on sa lahat. But don't worry sir, hindi na po mauulit. Aalis na po ako. Ako na lang din ho ang bahalang maghanap ng papalit sa—"

Aga creased his forehead and interrupted her, "Aalis? Papalit?"

"I'm rendering my resignation, Sir."

"What?! No! Walang aalis, walang papalitan." Aga almost screamed which caused Lea to be a bit shocked.

"Pirma n'yo na lang po ang kulang, sir. It was nice working with you. Thank you." Lea then smiled bitterly, handed him the folder containing her resignation letter and left his office.

These days I haven't been sleeping

Staying up playing back myself leaving,

When your birthday passed and I didn't call.

And I think about summer, all the beautiful times

I watched you laughing from the passenger side

And realized I'd loved you in the fall.

And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind.

You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye.
