Prologue

"I'll do it." pagkuha ko sa kontrata.

"Sigurado ka ba dito? I can---"

"Why? Would you do it? Can you?" I asked in mocking voice. I know he can't. I know he wouldn't. That's why, I would do this, because I am responsible too.

"Ano...I..." hindi siya makalusot.

"See? I'll do this." saka madali itong pinirmahan at ibinigay sa kaniya.

Desidido na ako. Buo na ang desisyon. "Pero paano si Isle?"

Pero..bakit kailangan pa niyang ipaalala?

"I.. I don't know." saka lumabas ng kuwartong 'yon dala ang pagkaing dala niya kaninang umaga. Ng babaeng tuwing makikita ko ay nagbabago ang lahat, sa isang kurap.

Hindi ko inakalang aabot sa puntong pakakawalan ko siya, nang ganoon kadali.

Matapos ang lahat, ang mga alaala, mga oras, mga tawa at ngiti kasama siya. Sa kabila nang lahat ng lungkot, tampo, inis.

I never realized how much I am deeply in love with her until coming to the point of need to let her go.

Seeing her eyes secretly admiring someone else far from how she sees me is just the best heartache.

Akala ko sapat na ipagtanggol ko siya, ang meron kami, ang pinanghahawakan ko. Pero hindi pa pala.

Ang kaya ko lang gawin ay samahan siya, maging sandalan, taga-protekta at kapitan.

But because of that day... since that day, this chaos all started. Everything between us had changed. Sa isang kurap.

Are those years not even enough for her to fall for me? Hindi ba niya napapansin o talagang hanggang sa kung ano lang kami ang kaya niyang ituring?

It's so painful knowing that someone you love and cherish the most doesn't recognize you that way. Never sees you the way you do, and worst is, never feel those silent I love yous.

Do I really need to let her go this way? Let her be happier, freely, without me but with someone else?

But I promised that no matter what happen, wherever my feelings will brought me, us, go, I will stay. I promised her.

But...how? Now?

And how would I suppose to let go if I found my heart in her, breathing?
