"Alice, kailangan nating mag-usap." sabi niya matapos ang ilang minutong katahimikan. Hindi ko alam kung paano ang apat na salitang ito ay kayang sirain ang buhay at pangarap ng isang tao-hanggang ngayon. Tahimik akong tumango, hudyat na magpatuloy siya. "I don't want this marriage. Hindi kita mahal at sa tingin ko, hindi kita kailanman kayang mahalin because I love someone else." "Pinakasalan kita dahil sinabi ng ama ko na kung gagawin ko ito, saka lang siya bababa sa pagiging CEO. Kaya ginawa ko ang sinabi niya. Ang kasal na ito ay wala nang halaga sa akin kundi isang kasunduan sa negosyo." "Alice, narinig na kita noong high school at napansin na rin kita. Hindi mo deserve ang ganito. Masyado kang mabuti at masyadong mabait para sa akin. Kaya't pakiusap, huwag kang umasa ng kahit ano mula sa akin bilang asawa." "Oo, maaari mong ipagmalaki ang apelyido mong Hontiveros at gawin ang kahit anong nais mo, pero tayo ay dalawang estranghero lamang na nakagapos sa isang kasal. Nakatali ako rito sa loob ng isang taon. Pagkatapos noon, papalayain kita at ang sarili ko na may malaking kabayaran, at maaari mo nang ipagpatuloy ang buhay mo ayon sa gusto mo." Ang mga salitang iyan ang siyang sumaksak sa dibdib ko. Masakit ngunit kailangan kung tanggapin. Pero natatakot ako, dahil kahit anong gawin ko ay hindi ko talaga matanggap tanggap na ang pinaka mamahal kong tao sa balat ng lupa na si Theresia Risa Hontiveros ay may ibang gustong pakasalan at kilalang kilala ko ang babaeng gusto niyang makasama habang buhay. Would I survive? Na manatili sa taong hindi ako kayang mahalin ngunit kaya naman akong pakasalan?

They say that our lives are full of options, and Dashielle Azaraiah Mendoza became accustomed to it when she had to pick between love and a career. Being the hopeless romantic that she is, she decided to follow her heart and choose love. Ngunit anong magiging sunod mong hakbang kung ang taong dahilan kung bakit tinalikuran mo ang lahat, kasama pati ang iyong pangarap ay hindi ka pala kayang panindigan? Paano kung ang taong ginawa mong mundo ay unti unti kang talikuran? Would you be brave enough to swallow your pride and win back the person who is prudent about everything that makes you feel like you're missing something in your life, just so you don't lose the prize you got for everything you've sacrificed? But what if you're given a chance to start over with someone who, may be a stranger, but can somehow fill the void you've been hoping to fix? The biggest question is, are you brave enough to start over with a possibility that this something new, is just another beautiful start with a sad ending since that's how most love works? If you answered these questions, would Dashielle do the same? Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish (Tagalog-English)
