Almost Forever

Ten years is a long time to wait for a question that never comes. Almira has spent a decade loving the same man, standing beside him without a ring, without a promise. Ironically, she is always the one chosen as maid of honor, smiling through weddings while dodging the question she fears most: "Kailan kayo ikakasal?" As love turns into habit and waiting becomes exhausting, Almira begins to wonder if staying is braver than leaving.
