I was told that when I cry, there's barely a sound. Like even if tears were falling down from my eyes, I still tried so hard to resist it.

But right now, my silent crying echoed in the whole church. Or maybe they were lying. Or maybe this time, I wasn't trying to resist.

I hoped no one else was here. After I talked to Auntie Jane and Dad, I suddenly had nowhere else to go.

No one probably visited Gesu at this hour.

There, I let all my tears out.

Tears continued to fall down from my eyes, but this time, it didn't reach the floor.

Or maybe because I could barely see it.

I adjusted my vision and saw something in front of me.

"Paliparin mo, kasama ng bigat na nararamdaman mo."

A familiar voice spoke, the voice I always wanted to hear, but not this time.

Suddenly I wasn't alone on the pew anymore. I wiped my tears but it didn't stop from falling.

Then I finally saw what it was, a paper plane.

I looked up to see her. "Den." I called her, on her hand was the paper plane.

"Don't wet it too much with your tears, I've been keeping that for almost a decade now." Dennise said without looking at me.

There, I remembered it, a part of a memory I forced myself to forget.

In the hospital chapel, when I heard a sob. It was so loud I could barely hear my own crying.

There I saw the girl who was crying her heart out.

That day, when I first met Dennise.

Who was crying for the same reason as mine.

"Y-you." I could barely say as I remembered the first time I actually met her.
