I'm looking to the window of my car, while my brother driving for me to Manila. It's been a year since I left and escape those person that hunting me, I think they already forget me.

I sighed, I close my eyes. Reminiscent, my life before. It's too dangerous, I'm too scared. I was scared and found how dangerous my life is. I open my eyes and look again to the window, I saw buildings, signs that I'm back.

"I di diretso ba kita sa book signing event mo?" My brother asked, that's why I look on him in the front.

"Wag muna, mamayang 4pm pa naman 'yon" he nodded.

"Can you please turn the radio on?"

Pinindot niya naman ang radio ng sasakyan.
Kung mamalasin ka nga naman, tumugtog yung hindi ko inaasahang kanta.

Baby I'm falling head over heels

Looking for ways to let you know just how I feel

I wish I was holding you by my side

I wouldn't change a thing 'cause finally it's real

Napa pikit ako at inalala ang nangyari, kung paanong isinuko ko ang bagay na mayroon ako para sa kaligtasan ko. Para sa kabutihan ko at kaligtasan niya , dahil ginawa ko ito para saaming dalawa.

I'm trying to hold back, you oughta know that

You're the one that's on my mind

Falling too fast deeply in love

Finding the magic in the colors of you

Tingnan ko 'yung kalsada tama lamang ang takbo namin, nakikita ko ang mga sasakyang matulin mag maneho na tila may hinahabol.

Hinahabol...

You're the right time at the right moment

You're the sunlight, keeps my heart going

Oh, know when I'm with you, I can't keep myself from falling

Right time at the right moment

It's you

I made my own race not knowing that you're in the race too, I was too pre occupied. Blinded by my love, not knowing that I'm hurting him.

It's fine now, Mira...

Nakarating kami sa bahay namin, ng maayos sinalubong ako ni Mommy ng yakap.

"Mag stay ka na kasi rito, anak"

"Mom, gustuhin ko man pero delikado"

"Yeah. Anyway, congratulations for your novel"

"Thanks, Mom. I'm going upstairs"

Tumango lang siya, umakyat na ako sa second floor. Dumiretso ako sa kwarto ko, malinis ito. Akala siguro ni Mommy, I'm staying. Napa iling na lang ako. Nakita ko sa side ng wall ko ang mga korona ko at sashes, nakakamiss din palang sumali sa beauty contest.

Umidlip lang ako at nagising sa alarm ko, kumilos na ako agad para sa event na dadaluhan ko.

Papunta roon ay kita ko agad ang mga taong nasa labas ng venue, may mga dala silang balloon at post card. Dala dala rin nila ang mga libro nila, my own work.

Sinalubong ako ng mga organizer para i guide sa platform na ginawa nila, pag upo ko agad na naghiyawan ang mga tao. Hindi malaki ang venue at hindi rin naman maliit para sa 300 person, I'm going to sign their books.

I'm a story writer, in one of the best app for a book here in the Philippines. I already published 5 books, under the popular publication company.

Umayos na ako ng upo para simulan ang program, nagkaroon ng maikling panalangin and nag open remarks ang event organizer ko.

Later on, they gave mebthe mic to deliver my speech for the successful of my books.

I looked on the crowd they were happy to see me in person, they always sending me a messages saying they want to see me.

"Thank you so much for supporting my works, and to my soon story"

Ibibigay ko na sana ang mic sa emcee nang may magsalita sa crowd,

"Hi, I'm one of your fan. Kanino niyo po inaalay yung stories niyo?"

Ngumiti ako sakanya "to the person I met when I was in junior high"

Naghiyawan ang buong crowd, totoo naman na sakanya ko inaalay ang mga stories ko. Hindi naman nila kilala kaya, bakit ako magsisinungaling?

"Ano pong gusto niyong sabihin sakanya?"

Tumikhim ako at ngumit umaasang nakikita niya ako at naririnig "If this chapter isn't for us, then.. see you to the last page of the book"

Nagsimula na akong mag sign ng mga libro, sobrang ang saya pala ng ganitong event. Lalo na ang mga readers ko na nakikita kong masayang makita at makausap ako, it's priceless.

"Hi" bati nung babae, nginitian niya ako

Natulala ako ng makita siya, kaya napalinga ako.

"I'm with him. Anyway, congratulations for your successful book signing event. Ate Mira" she hugged me that's why I hugged her back.

"Thank you" nag mature ata siya, andami namang nagbago sa isang taon. Pinirmahan ko na ang libro niya, iaabot ko na sana nang hindi lang siya ang makita ko.

Kumurap kurap pa ako para malaman kung totoong siya na nga ito, pero totoo ito at walang halong biro.

"Pa picture tayo kay Senator"

"Oo nga, nagbabasa rin pala siya ng ganitong libro. Nakaka kilig naman"

Tumikhim ako para umiwas ang atensyon sa mga nasa likod nila, inabot ko yung libro kay Mika kapatid niya.

"Hi" I try not to feel nervous but my voice betrayed me

"Congratulations" bati niya, tumango lang ako "is the last page of your book?"

"W-what?"

"You said 'see you in the last page of the book'?"

I swallowed hard, my heart beating so fast. I can't find anywords to say, I miss him so much.

"Then... Nice to see you here, Senator"

"Race to Love" he read the book title

"I already stop the race. So, stop the chase"

With that it hurts.
