"Kailangan na naming umalis eh" nakasimangot kong sabi sa aking bestfriend habang nakatingin sa malayo.
"Iiwan mo na ako?" Ramdam ko sa tono niya ang lungkot kaya tinignan ko siya sa mga mata.
"Kailangan kasi eh, mommy said we need to go or else, someone will kill us daw". Nakaramdam naman ako nang takot sa sinabi ko, I don't want to leave her but I need to.
"Here-" I grabbed her left hand and put the in the ring on to her fourth finger. "I call this ring the "Ring of Vow". In the future, if we shall meet again I will marry you, if not, I will find you. I promise". I added.
"Wow! this is beautiful, but why in my fourth finger? I have so many fingers naman". She asked while gazing at the ring I gave her.
"My mom said the Ancient Romans believed that the fourth finger on the left hand had a vein that goes directly to the heart. I think it was Vena Amoris or something" I replied while looking at her beautiful smile.
"Vena Amo-what?" she asked me confusingly.
"Vena Amoris, it's a latin name meaning 'vein of love' " I answered.
"Harry! Hijo, hali ka na!" napatingin ako kaagad kay mommy na naghi-hintay sakin sa labas ng gate.
"I need to go, but I'll hold on to my promise". I hugged her. I felt her tears falling which made me cry too.
"I will miss you" she said while I crying. I nodded and then left.
