[Daniel]

Mabibigat ang mga paang bumaba ako ng sasakyan at tiningala ang building kung saan naroroon ang FM station na pinagtatrabahuan ko ng ilang taon.

"I'll miss this kind of life." Napabuntong hininga ako bago tinahak ang pasilyo ng istasyon patungo sa kwartong ginagamit namin para sa Love on Air segment.

Naabutan ko si John, ang minsang karelyebo ko at s'ya ring tagasagot ng tawag kapag wala ang partner ko, na naghahanda para sa live broadcast namin.

"Andito na po pala kayo," nakangiting bati n'ya bago seryosong magtanong. "Sigurado ka na ba sa resignation mo, Boss Dan?"

Tinapik ko s'ya sa balikat at pilit ngumiti. "Yes, bro. Medyo mabigat din sa loob ko ang gagawin kong ito pero alam kong ito ang mas tamang gawin sa pagkakataong ito. Listeners need advises from me, para mapagaan ang nararamdaman nila, para masolusyunan ang problema nila," napailing ako. "I can't do that for them at this moment. Lutang ang isip ko, bigo ang puso ko at wala sa ayos ang buhay ko bro. Ikaw, you can do that for them."

"Ako?" Napakamot ito sa ulo. "How can I do that Boss Dan? Substitute mo lang ako. Hmmmm. Pwede naman pero as substitute mo lang. Babalik ka pa 'diba?"

"Kaya mo 'yan John. I've trained you long enough." Ginulo ko ang buhok n'ya. John is a newbie, a newly graduate from the university pero I can see potential in him kung kaya't I decided na s'ya nalang ang pumalit sa akin when i'm gone. "Sa'yo na ang Love on Air John, hindi na ako babalik pa."

Akmang magsasalita pa sana s'ya ng sumilip ang manager ng station and told us to get ready for our airing.

I positioned myself on the DJ's booth amd readied myself.

"Magandang magandang magandang gabi my precious, beautiful and handsome listeners," pinilit kong pasiglahin ang boses kahit na ang totoo ay gusto ko ng umiyak. This is my last day at work and i'll surely be missing my listeners. "DJ Daniel in the house yow!" What's up, what's up, folks? Energy naman d'yan. Alam kong ang iba ay antok na antok na at pagod na pagod galing sa trabaho pero pinipili pa ding samahan ang inyong gwapong lingkod, naks!, sa mga sandaling ito. I will be playing a song intitled I love You Goodbye by Nina."

[The lyrics goes like this:]

Wish, I could be the one
The one who could give you love
The kind of a love you really need

Wish, I could say to you
That I'll always stay with you
But baby, that's not me

You need someone
Willing to give the heart and soul to you
Promise you forever
But baby, that's something I can't do

Oh, I could say that I'll be all you need
But that would be a lie
I know I'll only hurt you, I know I'll only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needing, I love you goodbye

I hope someday you can
Find some way to understand
I'm only doing this for you

I don't really wanna go
But deep in my heart, I know
This is the kindest thing to do

Can't find someone
Who'll be the one that I could never be
And give you something better
Than the love you find with me

Oh, I could say that I'll be all you need
But that would be a lie
I know I'll only hurt you, I know I'll only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needing, I love you goodbye

Leaving someone when you love someone
It is the hardest thing to do when you love someone
As much as I love you, oh, I don't wanna leave you
Baby, it tears me up inside but I'll never be the one
You're needing, I love you goodbye
