It's been years since the day I gave Blaire another chance. Words mean nothing unless he proves it. And so he did. He did nothing but to make me feel how much I mean to him. Hindi kami but love is enough to keep us together. I gave him the chance to change his mind. Malay mo ma-inlove siya sa iba diba? Commitment complicates everything. Baka kasi mas maging malabo kapag naging kami. I don't want any restrictions. We're two different people. Not because you're in love you have to be together. I want us to still grow individually. Mahirap maging kampante sa salitang 'kami'. Nakakatakot. As long as we both know what we feel it was enough for the both of us. Iyon iyong napagkasunduan namin. Hindi na rin naman kami bata. Nanalo si Blaire para sa custody ni Clain... And I'm so happy. Mahal na mahal ko si Clain. Now I understand what my mother said when she accepted me. Kahit hindi niya ako tunay na anak.

Dumating kami sa ups and downs. Pero ayos pa rin naman kami. Magmula noon he never look at anybody else sabi niya, I'm the only one for him and no one else mattered. I stayed by his side lalo na nung panahong namatay si Yza. It was destruction in their family. Grabe ang iyak ni Hera noon. Hindi ko na nga alam kung sinong uunahin ko sakanila ni Blaire. I know it was not easy. It will never be easy accepting when someone you love died. But time heals all wounds maybe it will leave a scar but it'll be okay. Masasaktan ka sa tuwing makikita mo pero hindi na ganun kasakit. Because life will still go on. Lahat naman tayo nawawala eh. Nagkataon lang na nauna si yza. But I know nasaan man siya ngayon she's still looking after her family. Naalala ko pa nung araw na ilibing si yza.

--FLASHBACK

CLAIN: Mimi, Tita belle is already in heaven with Papa Jesus right?

YHIEL: Of course baby. She's already an angel.

CLAIN: But why does dada keeps on crying? He doesn't want to let go of tita. I miss tita but I know I have to let her go... Why can't dada do that?

YHIEL: Your father is hurt baby, because she loves your tita so much...

Tsaka ko siya niyakap. Blaire was devastated. Maybe he's happy being with me but I know I can never fill the void in his heart when he lost his only sister. I want to comfort him but I know he wants to be alone. Kaya ang ginawa ko nag stay na lang ako sakanila. Blaire's parents were in Canada. They say it hurts to stay here because it'll remind them that their daughter was really gone.

YHIEL: Blaire... Tama na...

ZERO: I'm trying Mariz. But please understand me... Give me a week... Then I'll try to be okay. I'm sorry baby...

He said then hugs me... Kahit mahigpit at kahit halos hindi na ako makahinga. Okay lang just to ease his pain. I let him grieve for the death of his sister. It hurts seeing him in this state. But I won't give up on him. I'll stay by his side no matter what.
