"Alexine, kelangan natin mag-usap."

Sa isang cafe malapit sa skwelahan nagkita sila Rainier at Alexine. Hindi sila pumasok sa kanilang klase. Inabot ni Rainier ang isang liham.

"I am sorry Alexine, I can't do this."

'What does he mean?' Alexine asked herself.

"Rain, what are you trying to say?"
"I want you to forget about me Alexine."

She was shocked. She could not comprehend what he was saying. They had intense discussion for around twenty minutes in the cafe.

"Bakit Rain? What's wrong? Is it me?"

"Alam mong hindi ikaw.."
"Kung hindi ako ang dahilan? Ano? Sino?"

"Please Alexine. Walang dahilan."
"Pupwede ba yun walang dahilan?"

"Just be honest Rainier. You can just tell me. Is it about you migrating? We can make LDR work."

"How did you..."

Rainier was also surprise when Alexine knew about it. And that she was proposing for a Long Distance Relationship to work.

"It doesn't matter how I knew about it. Am I a fool to you?"

"Ayaw na kitang saktan ulit, Alexine. Ayaw kitang paasahin."
"It's what you are doing right now to me Rain."

"Hahayaan mo nalang akong mag-isip at manghula."
"So it's someone else? Bakit ayaw mong sabihin sakin Rain?"

"There is no one."
"I just think that we can't be together like this anymore."
"You fell out of love?"

Teary-eyed Alexine stared at him for a while waiting for his reply but he did not provide any explanation. He was just quiet. She did her best to hold back her tears from falling.

"Silence means yes

"Silence means yes. You have made your decision."

She gave him a strong statement. And then umalis si Alexine papalayo sa cafe kahit umuulan sa labas, papalayo kay Rainier.
