Katherine,

I'm walking out of your life. This is your last chance to save yourself from me, Kath.

If we ever cross path again, don't look at me. If you see me kissing death, ignore me. Let's be total strangers to each other.

I may not be your love's definition, but you are to me.   I loved you. I will love you still. There will always be an empty place in my heart for you to fill in. And you will forever own this part of me, though you don't feel the same.

Grant me a wish. When the church bell rings at your wedding, as you walk in the aisle towards your man, look at three o'clock from the door and let me see you for the last.

Sin

Hindi ko naiintindihan ang nararamdaman ko.

I took a deep breath.

Nagising nalang ako kanina at wala na siya. I expected it every night before sleeping but this feeling is beyond what I expected. 

Isn't it a good thing? Wala ng magrereklamo pag gabihin ako sa labas. I don't need to worry about him. Hindi ko na kailangang ma guilty dahil hindi kami pareho ng nararamdaman.

Pero bakit ganun?

Limang araw lang naman siyang nandito. Bakit hinahanap ko siya? Bakit parang nanghihinayang ako? Bakit parang.. kakaiba?

Nikka needed someone to talk to. Kinuha niya ang cellphone at tatawagan sana si Commandment.

She stopped.

She scrolled down and saw Damon's number. She doesn't feel like talking to him either. She scrolled and scrolled before tapping Zeus' name and give him a call.

" What's up? " anito sa kabilang linya.

Huminga sya ng malalim.

" Do you know a place? I need someone to talk to."

It took him a while before he answers.

" Send me your address Nikka. Susunduin nalang kita ."

Napabuntong-hininga ulit si Nikka ng malalim. She don't even know what to talk about.

Habang nagbibihis ay nahagip ng mga mata ni Nikka ang itim na kahon kung saan niya itinago ang kwintas na sinisid mula sa ilog.

Kinuha niya ito at pinagmasdan.

" I wanted to throw you away countless times. But why can't I? " she uttered.

It's crescent crystal is glinting and the sapphire circle had a twinkling constellation in it. It is an eye - catching pendant. Parang buwan lang ito. The crescent phase is a gleaming crystal while the side which  supposed to be dark is blue in color and the  stars inside it forms a constellation.

The necklace is like a gravity she can't detach to. It pulls her closer and it would never let her go.

" Dito na lang tayo sa bahay. I'm working on something. Baka kasi mawala sa isipan ko," wika ni Zeus pagkarating nila sa bahay nito.

" Nakaabala ba ako? "

" Salamat naman at napagtanto mo rin ."

Natawa sila ng mahina. They weren't suppose to meet like this. It's against the rules. Hindi niya alam kung bakit ganun na lang ang pagtitiwala nila sa isa't - isa.
