2016

Napapadalas ang pag labas labas nila Sarah and Gerald mostly pa secret. Alam nila pareho na marami magagalit. Kahit sabihin pa nila na mag kaibigan lang sila. They can't stay away from each other. They're happy when they're together. Sa kanila lang nila nararamdaman ang freedom.

There are times na muntik na sila mahuli pero tinatawa na lang nila. Marami rin nakaka kita sa closeness nila sa backstage sa ASAP. Both of their significant others are busy sa kanikanilang careers. So, it gave them plenty of time go hang out.

One day both of then had a commercial shoot in tagaytay but different baranggay. It was over night. They both snuck out sa hotel nila to meet up. Gerald picked her up on his bike. They cruised around during the night.

"Kahit madilim kita mo pa rin ang Taal Volcano!" Sabi ni Sarah. They stopped in front of the famous volcano.

"Sarah, I'm falling in love with you, AGAIN." Biglaan sabi ni Gerald.

Natahimik si Sarah sa sinabi ni Gerald.

"Correction, I never stopped loving you. I tried. Believe me, I tried to move on. It wasn't hard to fall in love with you but it's hard to fall out of love." Sabi ni Gerald looking down while he confessed his feelings for her. "I know I'm too late. I know you don't feel the same way—"

"I tried so hard to forget you. To stop loving you. I used all the hurt you gave me to forget you. I closed my heart to everyone," she said. "You hurt me a lot Ge. And Matt. He's nice to me."

"I know. I'm sorry. It's just I have been wanting to tell you this a very long time ago. I should have not let you go. That was the biggest regret of my life. Hangang ngayon pinag sisisihan ko yun."

"Bakit hindi mo ako kinausap kung niregret mo pala iyon?"

"Because I was afraid."

"Of what?"

"To hurt you."

Napatawa si Sarah. "Isn't it too late for that?"

"No, not that kind of hurt. You know my history when it comes to relationships. Gago ako. Babaero. Hindi ma contento. Ang gulo gulo ng buhay. Kung naging tayo noon mas lalo kita masasaktan. I'll be giving you the love that you don't deserve. And I know you deserve that special kind of love."

Sarah continued to listen to Gerald. Somehow she understand him.

"And it was already too late when I realize that it's you that I want. It's you that I need. I saw how happy you are with Matt. Mabait sya sayo. Kaya ka nya ipag laban. I don't want to ruin what you two have. It's already too late for me."

Naluluha na si Sarah. "Puede na tayo bumalik sa hotel? Baka hinahanap na ako."

He wasn't expecting that answer from her.

Hinatid ni Gerald ai Sarah sa hotel nito. They parted ways silently.

Gerald got back to his hotel feeling so down. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" He said while he hit his head. He laid down on his bed looking at the ceiling. Then, his cellphone rang.
