"People really do wrong decisions when it comes to love. Nagiging matapang, minsan naman ay nagiging duwag. I kept on saying that I love him but I was lack of showing it.
I'm incapable of exhibiting my love... and that makes me a coward." - Ania Mo...

Pity
"M-Masaya ako para sa'yo," mahinang sagot ni Trish habang tipid na nakangiti kay Alas. She anchored her eyes on me and saw a shadow of tears. "Sa i-inyo."
Hindi ako sumagot, o naglikha man lang ng kahit anong reaksyon. I keep looking at her, slightly wondering why she's here. Bakit siya bumalik? Did she realize that she still loves Alas? Bakit ngayon lang kung kailan mahigit kalahating taon na ang lumipas?
Bakit ngayon pa?
"M-Mauna na ako sa inyo." saad niya bago tumalikod at nagmamadaling nilisan ang lugar.
Sinundan ko siya ng tingin. Sinuong niya ang ulan at tumakbo palayo. I glanced at Alas and found him staring at her direction. Bakas ang lungkot sa mga mata niya pero naiiba ito kumpara sa dati kong nakikita.
His eyes before whenever he sees Trish were holding immense longing for her, like he misses her every second. Right now, all I can see was nothing but sadness and pity.
Pero para saan?
Isang buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ni Alas bago nagbaba ng tingin sa akin at kabigin ako palapit sa kaniya. He embraced me. Even if our bodies are wet from the rain, I can still feel its natural warm that's enough to protect me from the cold.
"What was that?" I whispered on his ear.
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you have to lie in front of her?"
I felt his body stiff. It's seconds ago when he pulled back and looked into my eyes, brows a bit crumpled.
"I did? In which part did I lie, Ania?"
"Everything! You told her that you love me when we both know that it's still her until now! Sinabi mo lang na mahal mo ako dahil wala siya at inakala mong hindi na babalik pa!"
Bumusangot siya, tila biglang naging iritado.
"Where did you get those ideas?"
"That's the truth! Maybe you want to get even with her. Gusto mong pagselosin siya at kailangan mo ako para mangyari 'yon. You know what, Alas? I'm so done with you—"
