"I love you, Kira. So much. We'll fight this together. Just please, stay." Rinig ko ang pagmamakaawa at takot sa boses niya. "Caiden, I'm sorry, I can't." Caiden please, don't make this hard for both of us. This is for you. Nagulat ako nang lumuhod siya sa harap ko at niyakap niya ang mga tuhod ko. Oh, shit! Don't cry, Kira. This is for him. This is for your Caiden. This is for the one you truly love. "Please, Kira. Nagmamakaawa ako sa iyo. Don't leave me. If you can't fight with me, then let me fight for the both of us. Kaya ko. Kakayanin ko. Just please, stay with me, Kira. I can't live without you." Humahagulgol siya habang sinasabi ito. Nanatili siyang nakayakap sa akin ng mahigpit. Unti- unti ko itong kinalas at patagong nagpunas ng luha. "I don't love you enough to stay with you." Matigas kong sabi sa kanya. I'm sorry. I'll be back, love. Magpapagamot lang ako. Then we'll live together, like what we promise to each other. Goodbye, Caiden.
