Paul Saulo's POV
I take a deep breath before taking a stop outside the bus.
Pinagmasdan ko ang paligid.
It bring back memories.
I start taking a few step forward only to stop.
Bumalik sa alaala ko kung bakit ako umuwi.
It's to face my past.
Those people I left behind.
I know I've hurt them.
I've hurt her or maybe
till now she's hurting.
I remember seeing her crying in their school library.
Sinilip ko lang naman sya
And then I end up giving my handkerchief.
But I also remember telling her something bad.
I felt the guilt.
A friend told me that when we meet someone we fall for and build a relationship over a period of months or years, only to part ways, the damage done can haunt us for years -- even decades.
I'm selfish.
Dapat hindi ganoon.
Dapat pinaintindi ko sa kanya ang naging pasya ko.
And
I didn't tell her the full truth about me leaving her.
Nagsimula akong maglakad patungo sa direksyon ng bahay nila.
I stop few blocks away just enough to see her.
Nakaupo sya sa upuan na nasa ilalim ng mangga sa bakuran nila.
Napangiti ako.
They say people are the most important aspects of anyone’s life because people have the ability to change us in ways nothing else can.
Change.
Yes.
And for Chris she change me to see the good things in life.
Then I start to walk to her direction.
Chris POV
Tahimik lang akong nakaupo dito sa may bakuran namin. Masyado kasing mainit ang panahon kaya naisipan kong magpahangin.
May narandaman akong parang may nakatingin sa akin. Medyo natakot pa ako but then I keep telling myself that my faith is greater than my fear.
After reading that letter sa library na-realize ko na I'm too focus on my heartaches and forgot to live a life with my family, friends and even I take myself away from God.
May naramdaman akong may papalapit aa akin.
Should I double check na ba kung horror na ang genre nitong storya nang buhay ko?
Winaksi ko ang mga negative sa utak ko.
And then lumingon ako.
Sa paglingon ko ay para na rin akong lumingon pabalik sa araw na yun.
'Chris, kung sakaling sa pagbalik ko at mahal pa natin ang isa't-isa ay masasabi kong tayo talaga. Pero kung sa pagbalik at hindi para sa akin yung pangarap ko at sa pagbabalik ko ding yun kung sakaling di na ako ang nasa puso mo, matatanggap ko din yun."'
"Sinasabi mo bang hintayin kita?."
"Di ko hinihiling na hintayin mo ako. Kasi maging ako ay di sigurado kung sa pagbalik ko ay ikaw na ang pipiliin ko."'
Pinipili nya na ba ako?
Dapat sana galit ako but I found myself in his arms.
"Chris."
For heavens sake I miss his voice.
Then my tears start to fall like there's no tomorrow.
Calling my name is enough to fill my empty heart.
How I love this man.

BINABASA MO ANG
His Deepest Downfall
De TodoLife is a myriad of things, too much to see, too little time. It's either you get something out of it or let it simply slip away. And I used to slip it away a lot. There are some things that we have ignored, and those things will never happen again...
