Vows and Promises

Prologue

"Trusting someone can be a double edge sword, you risk your life when trusting him more"

----

If trust is the most precious gift you can give to someone,

Why are they not treasuring it?

Bakit nila hinahayaang mawala o masira yung tiwala na ibinigay mo?

They said that trust is the most expensive thing in the world,

No money can buy it,

It is also hard to find, even if you search the whole world

You cannot find trust everywhere,

Trust is not a stone you can see in your way home

But it is a diamond that can be found with a great effort

So, bakit hindi nila magawang ingatan yung tiwala na iyon?

Hindi ba nila alam na mahirap ibigay ang tiwala mo sa isang tao?

At ganon na lang kadali para sa kanila na sirain at isawalang bahala yun?

Sabi ko sa klaseng tinuturuan ko

Alam ko na ang lahat ng sinabi ko ay based sa nararamdaman ko

I'm being biased towards my opinion at alam kong mali iyon dahil yun yung tatatak sa mga batang tinuturuan ko

But can you blame me? Even I was hurt a dozen of time for trusting someone, for trusting everyone around me

Akala ko kakampi ko sila

I thought that they are all on my side

But I was just wishfully thinking

Thinking that they won't betray me because I trusted them with all of my heart

Because I trust them with all that I had

And reality crashed to me saying I was wrong

I tried to surpass my feelings and gather them

Ayokong umiyak sa harapan ng klase ko

I was brought back into reality when one of my students raised her hand

"Pero ma'am sino po ba ang may kasalanan yung taong masyadong nagtiwala at nagbulag-bulagan o yung taong pinagkatiwalaan?

And in that moment

I felt myself unable to answer her question
