The Sin We Became

Zyra thought she understood the line between right and wrong-until Gabriel came into her life and slowly erased it.

Sa loob ng classroom na puno ng numbers, expectations, at routine na kabisado na niya, may isang bagay na hindi niya ma-solve.

him.

Gabriel.

The boy who was never supposed to matter... pero somehow, he became the center of everything. Bawat tingin niya, parang invitation. Bawat katahimikan, parang agreement na hindi nila sinasabi pero parehong nararamdaman.

Sinabi ni Zyra sa sarili niya na kaya niya 'to.
That it's nothing serious.
Na laro lang.

Na hindi siya madadala.

But Zyra was the first one to believe her own lie.

Dahil habang mas pinipilit niyang umiwas, mas lalo siyang hinihila pabalik-hanggang sa hindi na niya namalayan na hindi na siya lumalaban.

She wasn't resisting anymore.

She was choosing it.

The temptation.
The pull.
The thing she knew would eventually ruin her.

Isang tahimik na sin na hindi lang basta nangyari-
kundi hinayaan niyang mangyari.

And in the end, Zyra realize..

not all sins begin with a choice.

Minsan, nagsisimula lang 'to sa isang tingin...
hanggang sa ikaw na mismo ang magiging dahilan ng sarili mong pagbagsak.

And when everything finally fell apart, Zyra didn't blame Gabriel-because deep down, she knew... she was the sin all along.
