"I'm getting married." napatigagal siya sa sinabi ko.



"I-i know that, but I also know to myself that I knew better, alam kong ayaw mo sa kaniya, and the moment that you kissed me back, I took that as a sign that I can pursue you.

Before I can fully exit the garden I heard him say.



"I will find you. I promise."
