BINUKSAN ko ang wallet para silipin ang ID at kung sapat ba ang cash na dala ko nang dumulas iyon sa kamay ko. I gasped when the coins rolled under the bed.

I grunted and opened my phone's flashlight, kneeling to look for it under the bed.

Naabot ko na 'yon nang saktong mahuli ng tingin ko ang kulay pulang box sa ilalim. Kinuha ko rin iyon bago naupo sa kama para silipin.

I opened it and saw handwritten letters!

Hi, Reev!

This is my first letter to you. It's been a month since I first saw you. I remembered thanking those who hurt me instead of getting mad because I met you at the hospital. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I like you, would you like to have a date with me?

Gwapong basagulero,

Caspian

Nakagat ko ang labi nang maalala bigla no'ng inabot niya sa akin ito. He was so shy that day, namumula pa at nauutal habang ibinibigay kasama ang tatlong rosas at ang pabaon niyang adobo at tokwa.

Babe,

How would I start this? I just wanted to thank you for letting me court you. After annoying you for weeks, you finally said yes to my love. Anyway, I just want to say that your lips are sweet, I can't wait to see you again and kiss you.

You're the best part of my everyday. I love you.

Gwapo mong suitor,

Caspian

There was even a notebook with dead roses slipped in between the pages! May mga petsa pang nakalagay kung kailan ko iyon natanggap.

Babe kong maganda,

I was preparing a surprise for you, hoping you'll finally say yes after months of courting and you never failed me. Thank you!!! (Maraming exclamation because I'm fucking happy). Thank you for making me the happiest man on earth. Promise I will be worth your yes!

PS: Forgive my handwriting, nagsusulat ako sa CR mehehe! (Cute no, parang goat.)

I love you, mwuah mwuah!

Gwapo mong boyfriend,

Caspian

The bitter-sweet memories played in my mind like they had only happened yesterday. It made me mourn what-ifs and what-could-have-beens.

Inabot ko ang kulay pulang kahon na nasa pinakagilid at binuksan. I saw a gold plain band inside, it was the engagement ring he gave me when he proposed. Maybe it was Dad who kept it here.

I smiled bitterly and sighed.

Hindi na maibabalik ang nakaraan. I have to move forward, free myself from pain and start again somewhere.

I had to.

SA Casa Amara dadaong ang yate na magdadala sa 'min sa isla kaya wala akong choice kung hindi ang magtungo ro'n.

It was a very busy resort with tourists from all over the world. I remembered going here so often with Caspian. I'd check myself in as a guest so as not to make people suspect my connection with Caspian.

The Estradas were a big family name in this small province. They basically ran the politics here kaya no'ng panahong 'yon ay hindi ako kampante na may matang makakakita sa amin ni Caspian. Ayokong isugal ang kaligtasan namin.
