"Why it can't be me?" as if on cue, my tears started to fall down.
All these years, I just wanted to be enough. To be loved, to be chosen in their lives. Parang napakahirap yatang manatili sa tabi ko, at maging priority ng ibang tao.
"We had the right love at the wrong time," he said. But nothing is impossible if you're willing to fight for it, right?
"No. We had the right love, but you are a fucking coward." Pinahid ko ang mga luha ko, "I'm begging you, leave Casa Margarita. You are no longer needed here." I smiled bitterly.
Nakita ko ang marahas na pag lunok niya at saka tumango, "I'm so sorry if I can't give the same feelings you're dealing with," parang sinaksak ako sa sinabi niya. "Sigurado ako, na dadating ang araw na maaalala ko ang lahat, ikaw, at magsisisi ako na hindi ko nasuklian lahat."
Pinigilan ko ang paghikbi at tahimik na umiyak sa isang tabi. I cannot look into his eyes. Hindi ko kaya. Masyadong masakit. I was about to leave when he uttered something,
"You'll gonna be my biggest regret, Sygrid."
