Albert's POV

It was 6:30 in the morning. Hindi ako nakatulog ng matagal, nakatulog man ako paputol putol.

Isa pa, I'm enjoying the view.

Dito ako nagpupunta sa resthouse ko na 'to kapag kailangan ko ng peace of mind

Dito ako nagpupunta sa resthouse ko na 'to kapag kailangan ko ng peace of mind.

Hawak hawak ko ang morning coffee ko habang nakatingin sa kawalan at walang kasiguraduhang mundo, joke. Habang nakatitig sa ganda ng tanawin.

Dito ko naisipang dahlhin si Eula, kalmado ang lugar. Kaya umaasa akong kalmado ko syang makakausap. Sana hindi ako mabigo.

I was enjoying the view when I felt someone was walking in my direction.

Of course it's Eula.

Wala namang ibang tao dito, kundi kaming dalawa lang.

Lumingon ako sa likod ko, at nakita ko syang nakatayo lang at nagdadalawang isip kung uupo ba sya sa tabi ko.

"Goodmorning." I greeted.

Suot suot nya yung gray shirt ko na malaki sakanya pero damn, she looks perfect.

Even though her hair is messy, she's barefaced, and wearing that simple shirt makes her more attractive.

I guess, that's love.

When I look at her, I don't see Callista in her anymore.

My eyes, especially my heart knows that I love her for who she is. Not just because she looks like Calli.

She's never an option, she's always a choice.

A choice that I wouldn't get tired of choosing, A choice that I wouldn't regret, A choice that made me myself.

Especially, A choice that made me feel that home is not a place but a feeling.

Because when Callista died, I really felt homeless. Eula became my home & my savior unexpectedly.

I fell in love with the most unexpected person on the most unexpected time.

It was raining, Eula became my rainbows. My life is getting darker, Eula became my moon & stars.

I know deep inside that if a genie would grant me three wishes, I would wish her to be with me forever three times.

"Albert, sorry. Naabala ba kita?" she worriedly asked.

"No, ako naman ang nagdala sa'yo dito. So, choice ko bantayan at alagaan ka."

"Teka, wag mong sabihing... HOY ANONG GINAWA MO SA'KIN?"
she exclaimed.

"Oh, wait. Hold on and Calm down, Euls. Hindi kita inano."

"Ano? anong inano?"
