All Margaret ever wanted was for her mother to be proud of her. Being the only daughter of the country's Prima Ballerina, she is expected to follow her mother's footsteps.
She knew that if she'll be able to get the lead role of their upcoming concert, she will finally get her mother's heart.
But she failed.
And now she has to face her mother's disappointment once she gets home.
"No, not right now." she said to herself.
She wanted to escape. For once in her life she wanted to be herself. She wanted to be free from those ballet shoes, from the four corners of that dance studio, most importantly...she wanted to be free from her mom. So without hesitation, she rode the first bus she saw without knowing where will it take her.

It was just another ordinary night for Peter.
A gig at a bar. His band members getting into a fight with the customers. Got their asses kicked out.
"Putang inang buhay 'to!" he says when he realized he only had one cigarette inside his pack. The piece of cigarette wasn't enough for him to release his frustrations with his band and his life.
"Mas mabuti na'ng meron kaysa wala." he said to himself.
He was about to finish his smoking when the bus arrived. He does this every time he wanted to think; ride a random bus, and go to a place far away from everyone. But what he didn't know that this ride would be different...

May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam.
Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit.
Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana.
Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga?
Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon.
