( SONG : Sa Ngalan Ng Pag-Ibig by December Avenue )
Elle's POV
I went towards a big tree and hid there trying my best for him not to catch me. This day, I want him to feel that it is okay and to feel happiness though I'm literally hiding from him because this is part of my plan.
"Elle, where are you?" Someone asked and breathed heavily as if he ran so far away just to find me. I can't control my lips as it curved beautifully because of the view where I can see him, finding me.
"Elle, please stop hiding." He almost begged while he's still finding for my presence. I giggled as the thought of him crying because he's scared that I'll leave him just popped out of my mind.
"Elle, I know you're here so please stop hiding from me." He panicked, still finding me here in our favorite place, in his private garden. I smiled again because of the thought that he's still the same guy that I fell for when we're in high school.
"Love, please stop hiding." He now begged and burst into tears while I just popped and hugged him from the back. He was literally shocked when he discovered that it was me hugging him tightly as if there's no tomorrow.
"Love, I was just hiding and yet you're already crying! Stop that will you?!" I shouted as I laughed because of his cuteness. He just turned around and looked at me with his puffy eyes that meant so much to me. I'll miss this.
"How will I not, Elle. I thought that you already left me and---" I cut him off and locked my arms around his neck. I really love this man.
"Stop that, Love. You know what, I'll make it up to you. Just wait here, okay?" I asked him as I run towards my phone but unluckily, he locked me with his hug.
"You're running away again," He stated and stared at me while I just laughed because of his actions.
"Love, when did I leave you? Never. And expect that." I said and continued walking towards my phone just to play his favorite song. Good thing that my phone was already connected to my 2 Bluetooth speakers.
"What now, Love?" He questioned as I guided his hands to hold my waist while on the other hand, I locked my arms around his neck. We waited for the song until we just both laughed when we already heard it. This is perfect. His garden, which was full of different variations of flowers and trees, the lights that made the mood of this place perfect, two wood benches that are perfectly matched to the set-up of the garden, the sun that is already set, and his music.
Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay na para bang wala nang papalit sayo?
Nasa'n ka man
Sigaw ng puso ko'y ikaw hanggang ngayon
"You really planned this, aren't you?" He said while he's giving the genuine and dazzling smile that never fails to make me fall for him even more. He's the one. He's the one and I can't just get enough but to plan my future with him until I die. But apparently, Faith, Destiny, and the World are just too cruel sometimes.
Kung sana lamang ay nakita mo ang lungkot sa'yong ngiti
Isang umagang 'di ka nagbalik
Gumising ka at nang makita mo
Ang tamis ng sandali ng kahapong 'di magbabalik
"Uhmmm, yes. I'll let this one slide because I really prepared this for you." I said and gave him a kiss on his cheeks before letting my head rest unto his broad chest while we are dancing as if we are high school students who are attending our very special promenade. How unrealistic and epic this scene is.
Hanggang sa dulo ng ating walang hanggan
Hanggang ang puso'y wala ng nararamdaman
Kahit matapos ang magpakailan pa man
Ako'y maghihintay sa ngalan ng pag-ibig
"What if I really let you go in the past, Elle?" He said as he breathed heavily. I closed my eyes for a moment as I felt that my heart was already broken. Later on, I felt my tears dropped as we continuously dance in the middle of his beautiful garden.
"Maybe you'll be happy with someone and will have a beautiful family with that special person." He said as I stopped and hugged him tightly. I don't. I really don't.
Hanggang kailan pa ba magtitiis?
Nalunod na sa kaiisip
Huling kapiling ka'y sa aking panaginip
Ikaw mula noon
Ikaw hanggang ngayon
"You're that someone, Angelo." I said as tears started to flow more. I really felt that hard and heavy pain in my chest.
"No, Elle. I'm not that special someone whom you can spend your life with. Maybe this will kill me but it's for your own good, Elle. Love, I'm already letting you go." He said and pushed me away from him carefully but I didn't care and hugged him tightly. There's no way I'll let him do all of this when I know that the truth is he's just scared.
"Love, You're that one! Why are you keep on insisting that?! Yeah, you're tired but how about me, Love? Do you consider me in this relationship?! Angelo, we're both part of this relationship and you'll pass this! You'll live!" I shouted at him.
"Elle! Accept the fact that I can't live with you anymore! Elle, I'm dying because of this cancer! And I can't let myself see you crying and suffering as we both enter different paths! Elle, I'm letting you go because I can't see you smiling like that, enjoying things as if you'll die early too. Elle, stop this." He said that slapped me to the reality that he's dying already.
"No! I'll not give up, Angelo! There's no way that I'll let you go! You're just scared!" I said but he just pushed me away and this time, he turned his back and never turned his head to me just to see if I'm okay. It really hurts.
As he was walking, he suddenly collapsed which made my whole system panicked as I rushed towards him.
That's the day that he already left me.
