Ikaw at Ako

Prologue

November 5, 2014 a date I will never forget. The day when she left for the US. I was there at the airport looking from afar.

Sabi ko sa sarili ko di ako magpapakita pag umalis siya. I don't want to see her leave and cry. Pero ang sakit makita na paalis sya. Tumatawag sya pero di ko masagot. Yung feeling na gustong gusto ko na syang yakapin at pigilan pero di ko magawa.

I don't want to stop her from reaching her dreams of having a complete family. I can't cause I know how hurt she was when her parents separated and that was the only time they can be a family again.

I love her too much to keep her from what makes her happy. But I could not tell her how I feel.

I didn't communicate with her when she left. No private messages, no emails, no texts. I was too scared of what could happen if she finds out how I feel. What if she rejects me? I don't want to risk the friendship.

And now after 5 years, I see her face to face. .

"Hi Mr. Mo Ricafuente, I want you to meet Ms. Danica De Leon. You will be working her leading man for this project."

"Hello Mr. Ricafuente, nice to meet you."
