Prologue

Prologue

In life, it is all about choices we make. And how the direction of our lives comes down to the choices we choose. Eighty percent of all choices are based on fear. Most people don't choose what they want; they choose what they think is safe.

Some of the toughest things in this world are to really want someone and not have them around you. Those are the times when you don't know what to do. All you can do is wait or sacrifice for the both of you.

Life presents many choices, the choice I make right now is for our future. I'm doing this for our future. I have no choice!I'll be the one will sacrifice for the both of us.

If you were given only one choice? To let go or not to let go?

I choose to let go. I don't want to be the reason why he can't persue his dream. I don't want him near me kasi nawawalan siya ng focus sa studies niya and I don't like that.

Tumingin ako sa dagat at pinipigilan ang mga luhang gusto ng tumulo sa mga mata ko. The person in front of me is about to cry.

No baby! Don't cry please! This is for the both of us! For you! If I don't do this mawawalan ng silbi ang paghihirap mo sa tatlong taon! So please! Kayanin mo!

I badly wan't to say that to him but I can't. Alam kong may eh rarason na naman siya. I know him para sa kanya lahat ng bagay may solusyon.

"Take back what you said baby. You're not supposed to say that." Nangiginig na boses na pagkasabi ni Presly. I looked at him. Nanghina ang mga tuhod ko when I saw his face. He cried a lot.

"Why should I? Just accept what I said Presly." Matapang na sabi ko. But deep in side labag sa kalooban ko na sabihin yun sa kanya.

"No hindi mo magagawa yun, Stop joking around baby." He said and tried to reach my hands pero iniiwas ko ito at umaatras papalayo sa kanya.

I stared straight to his eyes. Ang mga mata niyang nagpapakita sa akin noon kung gaano siya kasaya kapag kasama niya ako. Nagpapakita kung gaano ako ka importante sa kanya. And how much he love me. I wish I could still see his precious eyes after this but it's so impossible.

"Stop Presly! Ginamit lang kita okay?! Ano bang hindi mo naintindihan doon? O baka naman gusto mong English-en ko? I used you! Ano gets mo na?!" Sigaw ko. I can sense the people are watching us.

"You said you love me." He calmly said. His tears were still dripping.

I avoid his gaze. Naramdaman kong malapit ng tumulo ang mga luha ko. No please! Mamaya na!

"I lied. That was all a lie." Thank God and I can still manage my voice.

Napatingin ako sa kanya ng suminghot siya at pinahiran ang mga luha niya. Tumingin muna siya sa dagat bago tumingin sa akin. Mas lalo akong nanghina nang makitang napakalamig ng mga mata niya.

"You'll regret this. I'm telling you Capri. You'll regret this." Matigas niyang sabi bago ako mabilis na tinalikuran.

My tears started to fall. Nang makalayo na siya sa direksyon ko doon na ako napahagulhol. Sinusuntok ko ang dibdib ko dahil sa sobrang sikip nito. Halos hindi na ako makahinga sa bigat ng nararamdaman ko. Napaupo ako bigla sa buhangin. I cried a lot not minding the people around me. Tangina!

"I really do love you baby, I hope my decesion put you in your better place." I whispered while starring at his back. Starring at him walking away from me.
