Pagkatapos sunduin ni Mark si Sm sa pinapasukang school nito, namasyal muna sila at ng may madaanang Starbucks cafe niyaya ni Mark ang dalaga na mag chill muna kahit saglit lang. Ganyan ang routine nila araw araw  at kapag  dapithapon na saka nya ihahatid si Sm bago pasyalan ang mga kaibigang assassin  agent din kagaya nya. Pero iba ngayon kasi sa condo unit nya ang destinasyon nilang dalawa.

Pasulyap sulyap si Mark kay Sm na tahimik lang sa pagkakaupo habang pinagmamasdan ang mga nadadaanan nilang lugar patungo sa condo unit nya, ng hindi na nya matiis ang katahimikang namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa naisipan nyang magkwento na  lang  dito para makuha nyang attention ng dalaga.

"Before,  Every time I see you walking from afar, I wonder. How my life would be if we were so close? How my life would be if we fell in love with each other. How my life would be if we were sitting next to each other, holding hands. How my life would be when I wake up every morning, with you sleeping cutely next to me. How my life would be if we are having our romantic dates. And when you passed by, I wonder, are we even possible?"

Nagliwanag ang mukha ni Mark ng makita ang bahagyang pagngiti ni Sm. At hindi nya inaasahan ang sasabihin nito sa kanya.

"This is why you met me. Out of a billion people in the world, we met. People I passed are just strangers to me, but sometimes they are just people I knew.  You met me because we choose it. We choice to talk, we laugh, we cry, we get hurt, but most importantly, we choose to get attached to each other.  You met me because you need someone who will comfort you in your loneliness, in your anxiety. God saw it, He choose me to be His instrument. He chooses me to be your listener and I’m grateful for that. He want’s me to meet you because He needs you to come back from Him. He used me to you and I’m happy that now you are getting better. That you are coming back from Him, just like the parable of the lost sheep."

Itinigil sandali ni Mark ang kanyang sasakyan sa gilid ng daan papasok sa subdivision kung saan naroon ang condo unit nya, humarap sya kay Sm saka hinawakan ang kamay nito at dinala sa kanyang labi para mahagkan. Natawa na lang si Sm sa ginawa nya saka nagpatuloy ito sa pagsasalita.

"I’m grateful because I met someone like you, because I can share what’s in my mind with a stranger. I can share my secret feelings that I can’t share with my friends.  I met you because I’m a girl who always searching for love. I’m the girl who can be your best friend in bad times. I’m the girl who is a stranger to you."

"But now, we're not strangers anymore Baby girl. We're lovers. We fell in love with each other." 

Masuyong hinaplos ni Mark ang pisngi ng kasintahan, inipit nya sa tenga nito ang naligaw na ilang hibla ng buhok sa pisngi nito.

"I fell in love with you not because you’re the richest or the most handsome guy on earth. I fell in love with you because, when we’re together, everything gets a little bit different yet so very special for me. I fell in love with the way you look at me; with the way your eyes speak to me even when we’re just blank and staring at each other. I fell in love with the way you run your fingers into my hair, with the way you caress me and with how you easily put a smile on my face. I fell in love with the way you hold my hand, as if you’re not going to let someone take me away from you. I fell in love with the way you care for me; with the way you ask me about how did my day went. I fell in love with the way you calm me down when I can’t even help myself; those sleepless nights when you’re just here on my side, ready to listen to my endless dramas and stories in life. I fell in love with the way you handle all things no matter how tough the situation may seem. I fell in love with all your little efforts, those things that make me realize how blessed I am to have you in my life. I fell in love with you, the whole you— your personality, your dreams, and goals in life; that someday, I know; we’ll both achieve and going be a part of the success of each other. I fell in love with you and I’m ready to give a part of myself to you. I fell in love with you and I absolutely love you just as much as you do.  All those little things; this is how I fell in love with you."

Hindi napigilan ni Mark ang kanyang sarili, sinapo nyang magkabilang pisngi ni Sm saka siniil ito ng halik sa labi na tinugon naman ng dalaga. Matapos ang kanilang mainit na halikan nagyakap sila ng mahigpit bago naghiwalay sa isa't isa.

"Baby girI, I promise to always lift you up, When you are feeling down. I promise to wipe your tears, When you feel you need to cry. I promise to keep you smiling, To show off that beautiful smile you have. I promise to be your strength, Whenever you fall weak. I promise to be your voice, When you can't find the words. I promise to be your eyes, When you cannot see. I promise to be your ears, When you cannot hear. I promise to always tell you what's real, When you want to hear the truth. I promise to be your dream catcher, To chase away your every fear. I promise to be your smile, When you're frowning. I promise to always cheer you up, When you are down and blue. I promise to give you faith, When you are feeling insecure. I promise to keep you sturdy, When you are feeling unsafe. I promise to listen, When you need to talk. I promise to tell you no lies, Just what is true. I promise to always lend you my shoulder, For when you need to cry. I promise to always hold you,  When you need someone. I promise to always care for you,  Wherever you are, I promise to always be there.
I promise to never hurt you and never break your heart."

Namumulang mga mata at ilong ni Sm, dahil sa pagpipigil na wag mapabunghalit ng iyak. Panay lang ang pagtulo ng mga luha nito at pagsinghot.. Habang titig na titig sa mukha ni Mark, na kahit seryoso may bahid naman ng ngiti ang labi.

"I can't promise you the world. I can't promise you the sky. I can't promise you that we will never fight. I can't promise you that I will never cry, But I can promise you that I will always be true to you, And baby girl,  I promise that I will always love you more than anything With all my heart. No matter what happens or what we go through. I'll love you until the end of time! I'll be your guardian angel.
That's my promise to you!"

Marahang pinunasan ng mga daliri ni Mark ang luhang dumadaloy sa pisngi ni Sm. Tumatawa't umiiyak ang dalaga. Batid nyang masaya't maligaya ito kahit na hindi ito magsalita. Ganun ang isa sa mga ugali nito, masyadong emosyonal pero kahit na ganun ito minahal o pinakamamahal nya si Sm at ipaglalaban nyang pagmamahalan nilang dalawa, hanggang sa dulo ng walang hanggan.
