Ian woke up first. He saw Shin still sleeping and was amazed by her beauty.
"I'm letting you go Shin, pero as much as I don't want to... Kailangan e, kasi gusto kita maging masaya." He kissed her forehead.
Hindi alam ni Ian, na nandun lang si Sarah sa isang tabi. Narinig niya at nakita ang lahat.
Lumapit si Sarah, kay Ian.
"huy, kuya."
"uy, sarah."
"kamusta na pakiramdam mo?"
"Okay naman. Sorry nga pala kagabi, naabala ko pa kayo."
"Wala yun kuya. Kuya pwede ba tayo mag usap?"

Shin woke up and she immediately looked at the floor where Ian was suppose to be sleeping, but then she did not find him. She search and looked at the room, but theres no sign of Ian.
Shin sighed. hindi man lang nag paalam sakin. Talagang desidido siyang iwasan na ko. Shin thought.

At the garden...
"Kuya what happen? "
"nag usap naman kami. Pero, ayun hindi naging maganda yung resulta."
"bakit naman kuya? Kala ko ba sasabihin sayo ni Ate Shin na mahal ka niya."
"kaso, hindi niya yun sinabi sakin"
"Gusto mo kuya, mag usap ulit kayo."
"No need na Sarah."
"kuya, are you giving up?"
"I'm not. Its just that sila na Sarah. Taken na ulit siya."
"anoooo?"
"na delay kasi tayo ng dating. Ayan nahuli..." Ian sighed.
"Kuya..."
"Its okay Sarah... Its okay... I'm alright."
"sure ka ba kuya? Basta if you need something, if you want to talk about something remember na nadito lang ako, kami ng champs."
"Thanks Sarah. Uuna na ko ha? May rehearsals pa ako."
"ayaw mo bang intayin si Ate Shin, para for a better confrontation?"
"hindi na. Ayoko na siyang guluhin. Tsaka kailangan ko na rin sanayin yung sarili ko na hindi na pwede yung mga dati kong ginagawa. Kailangan ko ng umiwas."
"kuya wag ka umiwas. Baka hindi kayanin ni Ate."
"I know her, she's strong tsaka hindi na niya yun maiisip kasi meron na siyang boyfriend. Hindi na niya ako kailangan."

"Oh, san ka galing?" Erik asked Sarah who just came in.
"Good Morning Ate. Erik." Sarah said with her sad voice.
"oh, bakit malungkot ang sis ko?" Shin asked Sarah.
"kasi... Si kuya Ian."
"teka, nasan na ba yun?" Erik asked.
"bakit? What happen?" Shin asked worriedly.
"wala namang nangyari. At umuwi na din siya. Pero, ate..." Sarah faced Shin. "totoo ba? Na hindi na pwede?"
Shin did not say anyword.
"bes, kayo na ba talaga?"
"Um,Oo."
