Maybe This Time

Epilogue

Dylan Keith's POV

I looked at the wide Park. The surroundings were beautiful so this became my favorite hangout. Fresh air because there were many trees, tall Narra trees. I was about to leave but I stopped when I saw a girl crying under the Narra tree. It was like something was pulling me closer to her so I didn't even notice that I was already walking toward her. When she lifted her face, my heart suddenly beat faster. Her face was so beautiful! Her face was angelic!

Days passed and it felt like I was addicted to seeing her face so I came back to the park every day to play with her. When I saw her smiles, it felt like I was addicted to making her smile. Months passed and we became close to each other. She's not just my playmate. She's my First Love.

"AG." I smiled. She's Alyana Grace Reyes, my First Love.

"DK." She giggled.

As the years passed, my feelings for her grew even deeper even though I knew we were still kids. I promised her that I would come back for her. My parents were leaving for the States. It hurt so much to leave her but I couldn't do anything because of my parents' wishes. I am just a young boy who obeys his parents.

AG, when I grow up... if I have the ability, I will fight for you! Promise.

I went back to the States and I had no connection with her. Because of my anger, I ran away from parents... that day, an accident happened. I was hit by a car and went into a coma for a few months. I forgot my past. I couldn't remember anything about my past. There was a big part of my heart that I kept searching for but I didn't even know what or who I wanted to see to ease the emptiness in my heart.

We decided to go back to the Philippines because our company in the States was already okay. I was so excited to go back to our old house but I was disappointed because we stayed here in our house in Laguna.

As I always did, I went to the Church, but because of the heavy downpour, I couldn't make it. I let go of the umbrella I was holding when suddenly someone bumped into me. Because of the rush, I didn't even see her. She looked funny and cute. Her face was so familiar to me. She said so many things to me but I liked her familiar personality.

I just shook my head because of the extremely familiar feeling. Her eyes wouldn't leave my mind. She's really childish but what the fvck is wrong with me? I took her home because I was concerned. She looked like she was being chased by sanity and what if something happened to this girl.

Marky invited me to go to Tagaytay. It was vacation and I had nothing to do so I went. His girlfriend was also waiting there.

We were on the plane. I just sat in the empty seat. I secretly smiled because the girl I met at Church earlier was beside me. I purposely sat next to her because I wanted to. It was a strange feeling that even I was confused. Who is she in my life?

I just closed my eyes and pretended not to see her. I just swore when suddenly someone grabbed my Adam's Apple. A strange electricity ran through my whole body because of what this girl did. So childish! She was funny. What did she eat? She farted so loud and it smelled. I just laughed. I wanted to know her more but I just held myself back. As much as possible, I didn't want to get close to any girl.

I don't want to disappoint the girl I promised in the past. Is she still waiting for me? Damn. I missed her. Little by little, the memories of my past are coming back to me... including the girl I forgot.

Did fate do it on purpose? It happens that I often see the childish girl. We met at the park. I was with Kimyuri, she was flirting with me but she's just my friend. I left her because her flirting was starting to annoy me. I sat on the bench and focused my gaze on the two friends. Is she really sleeping? That girl is strange. Aren't they scared to stay in a dark park like this?
