If you were asked what color brings life back, what would it be?
Green?
For Cashle Moriah Ell Armani, it is green.
She was blessed. She never had to beg nor fall to her knees to ask for something more. She was a leader of the crowd. Lahat ng galaw niya may buhay, lahat ng reaksyon niya may saysay. She was like every green thing that keeps life dancing.
But behind that bright image was a life bound by perfection. She was raised to be flawless. It's impossible, right? But as an only child carrying her family's name and expectations, nabubuhay siyang malaya, pero nakagapos.
Her boyfriend. Ang nag-iisang bagay na ginusto ng mga magulang niya para sa kanya. They loved each other so deeply like even the world cannot fight against them. But she lost him. Nawala ang nagpapabuhay sa mundo niya.
Desperate, she tried everything. And in her search, she found someone else. From a distance, she saw a man wearing green. It was Nesus Kemuel Izsachar Ashby. He was not just a man to notice, he was a man to remember. And so, her foolish game started.
She chose to fake love. The woman who once commanded the crowd was now being ruled by her own desperate heart. She planned it all. No guilt. No fear.
Until she realized he was different.
He loved sincerely. He gave more than she expected, more than she deserved. He gave her life beyond her own concerns, beyond her selfish intentions. She was no longer playing. She was failing, she was falling. And the more she tasted life with him, the more she tried to correct herself for him. She loved him..
When she loved green, it was him she truly loved.
Pero nagkamali siya. She was already wrong from the very beginning. She only used him. Why did she?
That moment, she knew all green that represents life can wither. Lahat ng may buhay namamatay, nalalanta. And the man who gave her too much of his life did too.
Life was the color green for her, but she only knew too little about what it truly costs to waste love born from life.
