“I never dream that we will have a happy ending. How can I? If in the first place I know that our story is the most impossible thing to happen. But, still it happened that’s why I could not help myself to pray and hope that someday we can still be together to continue this Love story we have started…”
“Oh! Michael.” She cried out.
“But now, I’m letting you go because it is the right thing to do, not because I want it.”
Eumera flung her arms on his body.
They cried in each other’s arm. They savor every minute that they could hold each other. “I love you….Michael Soliven,” she sobbed. “Goodbye…for now, my love.”
Slowly, her body was fading away, so as her voice. First, her feet, next was her upper body and then her face with her tears. Left, was Michael who could not move because of the pain he was feeling, now.
He fell down on his feet and knelt in the white sand and cried, loudly.
“What is good in goodbye? Tell me! What is good in goodbye if it means forever? God, I never love a woman as I love Eumera. Please, I’m begging you, bring her back! I need her… I love her…. Please….” He shouted, tearfully.
