Chances We Didn't Take (One-shot)

Chances We Didn't Take (One-shot)
‎
‎"Love?"
‎"Worth it ba?"
‎"Wala namang kwenta 'yan eh"
‎"Aksaya sa oras"
‎
‎Sa pag-ibig, hindi lahat swerte. Hindi lahat nakakamit ang happy ending na gusto nila. Hindi lahat nananalo sa larong puso at damdamin ang nakataya. Pero may mga tao pa ring patuloy na sumusubok.
‎
‎Just like Raiclyy Jii Perez, who took all the possible risks when she met Jhon Asuncion. She secretly loved and admired him for so long, expecting positively with those accidental glances they've exchanged.
‎
‎Until one day, she confessed. Hindi siya tinanggihan at itinaboy, hindi rin niyakap ng kasiguraduhan kung may pag-asa ba. They talked and laughed at each other's silly messages. Parang kwentong walang pamagat, walang malinaw na dulo.
‎
‎At sa bawat araw na lumilipas, mas lalo niya itong hinahangaan. She waited in the spaces between replies, believing silence meant patience, not absence.
‎
‎But little did she know, the wait was already over. His heart was already owned by someone else, and that someone is not her. She loved, she waited, she failed. And at the end, she was left all alone. Alone, thinking about those chances they could've taken, but they didn't.
