Not all love story has a happy ending but everyone has a happy ever after..

April is a student from a very distinguished university. Her boyfriend, Erik is from another university. They were the perfect couple. she's a classic beauty and he's the heartthrob prince. The High school sweethearts who won Prom King and Queen.

Since they have different chosen courses, they've enrolled at different school. But they always see to it that they call and send messages to each other and they'll meet every other day. He's the perfect boyfriend ever and she's so lucky to have him..

Everything's fine and perfect until one rainy day..

Its been two hours. April's still waiting at the front of Erik's school since they plan to meet up and celebrate their Third Anniversary. She tried calling him for the nth time but his number's cannot be reached.

' that's weird though, he always sends me message when he'll be late.. There could be an emergency.. ' she thought. She's beginning to worry because between the two of them, it was him who's the responsible one. The one who always reminds her of things and the one who always see to it that she won't ever worry..

' hmm.. Could it be that he's preparing a big surprise since its our anniversary? ' Now, that's a thought. He loves surprises especially if she's the one to be surprised. ' but, its been two hours... Isn't that too long for this waiting? '

After ten more minutes.. She heard her phone ringing.. Its Erik!

" Hey baby.. Where're you? " she said as she answers his call..

" I'm with my group mates doing our project.. Didn't i mention it? " he said..

She's a little shock.. ' He's kidding, right? ' She asked herself.. " but.. You know what's today right? "

" huh? What are you saying? " he sounds so serious.. He totally forgotten.. Maybe because he's so busy lately? " listen baby, i gotta go, I'm doing something important.. Call you later.. Bye.. " the call ended..

He doesn't remember that today is our 3rd anniversary... I know its important that he have to finish his school stuff, but isn't today an exemption? Is that so important? Much more important that celebrating together? I only want today out of All days.. Not even my birthday can compare to this day.. Because its the day that i knew what it is to really LOVE..

Luckily.. It began to rain.. Maybe the heaven's know what she felt right now.. She walked under that heavy rain.. She doesn't care if she's soaked and wet all over.. The rain helps cover the tears from her eyes but sadly, it doesn't wash away the pain in her heart..

Its been three days since their anniversary.. Yet, She hasn't received any call or text from him.. She practically wait in front of his school everyday and send him messages and calls but to no avail. She then decided to visit him to his house..

Arriving at his place, she saw that there's a lot of cars parked in front of his house..

' is there some kind of a party in there? ' she asked herself.. She saw a lot of people.. And all of them's wearing white.. ' what's the event..? '

Once she enters the house, she saw Tita Alicia ( Erik's mom ) crying.. When she saw me, she stands up and hugs me tightly.. As if... Giving me comfort?

" tita, what happened? " she asks immediately.. There's something wrong here..

" April... He's gone... Erik's gone... He left us... " she said in between crying..

Tears started flowing from her eyes..

" that can't be true.. I just talked to him three days ago! " she practically shouted.. This cannot be happening.. He's not dead! Is this some kind of a joke? But, she saw a coffin. His coffin. Slowly, she walked into it. With every step she take, her heart feels like she's falling in an endless abyss with no return.. They say pain causes denial. But how can she deny something that's she see, feel and touch?
