The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained.

Nakakabagot ang buhay. Lalo na pag papasok ka nang school, kakain, humiga sa pera, maligo sa puri, mamili ng babae, at matulog. Paulit-ulit lahat araw-araw. Lahat nalaro mo na, poker hanggang pag-ibig naipanalo mo na. Kung sana may pwedeng paglaruan. Yung unique. Yung nakakatuwa. Nang dumating siya sa buhay ko, natuwa ako kasi pinaglaruan ko siya. Humingi siya ng pabor. Binigay ko. Nagpaturo siya. Tinuruan ko. Humingi siya ng masasandalan. Binigay ko. Kasi nakakatuwa siya! Pero habang tumatagal, bakit siya na yung natutuwa at ako na pinaglalaruan? Hate. Lies. Temptations. Betrayal. Pain. Love. All in one. Training To Love.

Umupo si Greg sa swivel chair nito at pinagmasdan siya. "Okay. Bibilhin ko ang Oregon Building under your name pag hindi mo sasabihin sa media ang nangyari kanina." "Okay." Nakangiting sagot niya. "And we will have divorce once nasayo na talaga ang Oregon Building. Yan lang naman talaga ang dahilan kung bakit mo ako bina-black mail diba?" "Exactly.
