Gumuho lalo ang mundo ko nang sapilitan akong ipakasal sa lalaking kinamumuhian ako. Patuloy man akong nalulunod sa kumunoy nang pasakit at kalungkutan pero hindi mawawala ang aking kakaunting pagasa na magbabalik uli ang apoy sa mga ugat ko na bubuhay sa puso ko na pinatay nang paulit-ulit. I knew deep in my heart that this wasn't my destiny and someone out there would put the fire back in my veins...
