" Death is a game, Cassandra. Once you start, there's no turning back. One move could change your life. Forever." tiningnan ko siya ng mataman sa mata.
A game one must play...until the very end.
" I am willing to play your game. It's you who won't let me." tiningnan niya ako. He's testing me.
Testing how far I could go.
"You think you can but you can't." mariin niyang sabi sa akin pero hindi ako magpapatinag.
"Why are you so afraid of feeling? Bakit ba ayaw mong makaramdam? One moment you blame life for not letting you feel and then right now, you're pushing me away kasi takot kang makaramdam!" I screamed at him. Frustrated.
"Because I know this won't last! You being here is just temporary. You're not meant to be here." I closed my eyes. Why is this so hard?
"But I love you! Isn't that enough reason for me to stay?" I controlled my breathing.
Who knew, that life in between could be so much harder than life in the living?
"Because you're love isn't enough to keep you here! I could have just loved you in return if I wanted but I can't. Can't you see? Your presence in this world is so wrong. You're messing up the sequence. You're not dead!" Nakikita ko na ang mga ugat niya. He's frustrated too, isn't he?
Sino ba naman ang hindi? But no, I am not gonna let it end here.
"But I will die eventually! Why can't I just die now? "
"I will not take you. Never."
