Broken Keys (#Wattys2016)

Broken Keys

I thought it was that easy to fall in love. I forgot that when you fall, someone has to catch you to save you from hurting. But nobody caught me, I fell---hard.

Buong buhay ko, isang lalaki lang ang minahal ko. Simula't sapul, siya lang talaga ang gusto ko. Marami mang dumaan sa buhay ko, siya lang talaga ang nakasungkit ng puso ko.

Adam was my bestfriend. My partner in crime. My confidant. My comforter. My love. Wala ng papalit sa kanya. Siya lang talaga.

When the person you love most couldn't love you the way you do, the only way to get through pain is to experience it.

I cried waterfalls. An ocean, actually. It wasn't the kind of pain that gave me a hard blow. It was a slow excruciating process. The longer it gets, the more painful it feels.

Love hurts, sabi nga nila. Pero sana sinabi rin nila na: Love hurts in different levels, prepare for maximum pain. Para naman sana nakapaghanda ako. Nabigla masyado ang puso ko. Hindi pa nga nakakaranas na mahalin, nawasak agad.

Everything happens for a reason. We experience bad things to give way for the good ones. In that way, the universe keeps it balance.

Damon's timing on entering my life was impeccable. He came while my heart's wounds were still fresh. He was like a breath of fresh air to me. He became the diversion at my lowest times. He was the change that I didn't know I needed.

One thing that I most liked about him, he was a good listener---musical and verbal. He understood me when I didn't understand myself. He was always there at times I needed company. He kept up with me even if I was pacing too fast, he slowed down when I did, he synchronized with me.

He wrapped his arms around me and somehow...I felt home.

Nothing lasts forever. Everything ends. Something has to change. Anything can happen.

But great things come to those who wait.

Pearl's Note:

The prologue has been entirely changed. Actually, the story has made a lot of changes also. But hush child, you know that this is for the good of mankind. Chareng~

Sana nagustuhan niyo ang simula. Napagod ako sa pag-edit. But I like this more, I somehow managed to meet some loose ends from the other version of Broken Keys.

Mas maayos na ang plot niya para sakin. Kung maguluhan kayo, bahala na kayo. No problemo na aketch. I made this a lot hotter, a lot edgier, a lot sexier.

Less drama na rin pala. Masyado kasing poetic ang pagkakasulat ko sa BK dati. Ma drama pero mas less ang banat ko sa mga words. Atsaka, less English na rin pala. May nagsabi kasi last time na nakaka-nosebleed daw. So ayun, medyo minimize ko ang English dito.

Sana mahalin niyo pa rin sina Aria at Damon sa version na 'to. Pagpasensyahan niyo na rin ang kaartehan ko. Maraming salamat na rin sa mga magpapatuloy sa pagbabasa nito. Alam ko na paulit-ulit ko kayong binibitin, but promise, this time lalabasan na kayo---este---matutuloy niyo na 'to.

Love you lovely readers!

Truly yours,
