A Date For A Cause

Part One:I love You...Goodbye

"Hello, ija.Are you sure you really wanna come with me in France?Baka ma-miss mo itong Pinas?"

"No tita.I'm sure enough for my decisions.Besides it would really be a big help for me to left.Atleast 'dun kahit paano ay unti-unti kong makakalimutan ang sakit."

"Sige, kung iyan ang alam mong tama, then go! I'll support your decisions.Just don't forget that I'll always be at your back whenever you need me."

"Thanks tita."

"O' pano? Prepare your things na ah.So that we can leave early tomorrow.And by the way 'wag ka ring magpapagabi ng uwi mamaya para may pahinga ka. 'Wag mo ring kalilimutang magpaalam ng maayos sa mga friends mo, especially sa kaniya"

"Yes po tita."

The door closed.I finished packing my things for tomorrow's flight when suddenly, I notice something on the floor. A silver "forever" ring. I pick it up and remember the day when he gave it to me. That moment I could say that I'm the happiest girl in the world. But the tought that it's already too late ,is a sad one.

A tear suddenly fell from my eyes.Ugh!There were things that could never get back,ever!

I already have my final decisions. Hindi ako ang kailangan niya. I'm not his Ms.Right. I think he can still find someone better.

Zhayne's POV

"Zhayne, are you still leaving?"-Diane asked.

"Yeah, do you really have to go? Kasi kung 'yun lang ang ang dahilan mo para umalis masyadong mababaw."-Drei asked to.

"I agree! Marami naman kasing company dito na nag-aagawan sa'yo. Madali lang para sa'yo ang makapagtrabaho."-Alex added.

"Well,gusto ko rin namang maka experience ng new culture."-I answer.

"Bakit,sawa ka na ba sa Pilipinas?"-Alex asked again.

"Hindi naman.Gusto ko rin kasing makasama 'yung tita ko. Four years ko rin siyang di nakasama noh?"-me.

"Okay. Ingat ka na lang. Sana makita mo 'dun yung hinahanap mo."-Jhayne reminded. She knew the real reason behind my travel abroad.

"O yan na pala si Drew."-Diane.

Lumapit sakin si Drew.

"Can we talk... in private?"

"Yeah.Sa terrace."

We go to the terrace na walang kibuan. When we're there, he start the conversation.

"Kailangan mo ba talagang umalis?"

"Oo."

"Bakit?"

"Kasi I need to."

"Give me the exact reason.Naguguluhan na kasi ako."

"Hah?"

"Bakit kasi kung kailan nagising na ko, at natutunan na kitang mahalin ay kailangan mo pa akong iwan?"

"Cause I have to."

Pinipigilan kong umiyak para hindi na lumala ang sitwasyon.

"Bakit nga?Please make it clear!"

"I need to move on! Kailangan kitang kalimutan kasi...kasi ...kasi that's the easiest way I know"

"But why?"

"Kasi nagising na rin ako na I'm not the one for you. I'm begging you... kung talagang mahal mo ako palayain mo na ako. ilang taon ko ring ikinulong ang sarili ko sa'yo."
