It all started down Lover's Lane.

It was during the Welcome Walk, as I passed through the Arch of the Centuries, that I crossed paths with him. Since childhood, the University of Santo Tomas has always been my dream school... Pero hindi ko inakalang doon ko rin pala matatagpuan ang taong magpapatibok ng puso ko...

At wawasak no'n.

"I can't imagine anyone else standing beside me at the altar but you."

"I... I can't walk this path with you, Nigel."

"W-why? I thought... I thought we made a promise together."

"May mga pangarap pa ako... Alam mo 'yan."

"Hindi na 'ko kasama sa mga pangarap mo?"

"Nigel, please don't do this."

"I'm already doing it, Mara... Please accept this ring."

"I..."

"Please."

"I'm sorry."

Hindi iyon naging madali para sa akin. Ang makita ang sunod-sunod na pagpatak ng mga luha niya. Ang makita siyang nakaluhod sa harapan ko... Nagmamakaawa.

Kahit na mabigat, tinalikuran ko siya. Kahit na gustong-gusto kong tumakbo pabalik sa kaniya para itayo at yakapin siya nang mahigpit, nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad.

Iniwan ko siyang nakaluhod pa rin sa gitna ng Lover's Lane... Basang-basa sa ulan at sariling luha.

Funny how everything started and ended in the same place.
