Prologue

Naipit ako sa dalawang kasalanan at ang isa roon ay kailangan kong panindigan.

Naipit ako sa dalawang pagkakamali at ang ay isa roon ay ipaglalaban ko hanggang sa huli.

Naipit ako sa dalawang tao at ang isa sa kanila ay siyang nakapagpayanig nang tunay sa aking mundo.

Naipit ako sa dalawang pag-ibig at ang isa sa kanila ay siyang tuluyang nakapagpabago sa aking daigdig.

Paano ba ito magwawakas kung ang puso ang itinakda bilang batas?

I bit my lower lip as a distant memory came crashing on my mind. Bumilis ang tibok ng aking puso. My palms suddenly turned cold.

In-adjust ko ang aircon. Naka-low lang naman ito. I shook my head and slapped away the thoughts forming in my head.

“I’m planning to relieve my position in Demacia because I love you, Jergen. It’s against the first rule of the organization, and I’m defying it now. My actions have consequences, and I’ve always been set to face them.”

I cried my heart out.

Putangina lang kasi ang sakit.

My own decisions betrayed me.
My own wishes broke me.
Leaving him had torn me apart.

I guess being selfish hadn’t been a wise decision at all. I’ve always thought about myself, what he did to me, and how it caused me nightmares.

But to imagine life without him? It’s like being violently snapped back into a reality that’s worse than my scariest nightmares.
