Aika looked at him

She was done.

He noticed as the person infront of him was losing interest. Yet he kept fighting, fighting a battle that was already lost.

Him: Aika

Aika: Tama na.

Him: Aika please, makinig ka sakin.

Aika: No! Tama na please. Tama na.
.
.
I trusted you!
.
Pero eto ginawa mo.
.
Please just leave. Umalis kana. And forget that you even met me.

Paalam

Setting: Lucas Office

He looked at the ticket on his desk.
Ticket going to the Philippines.

Lucas: If I can't have you, no one can Diana. I'll make sure to break you until you can accept me.

Setting: Eric's Bedroom.

He was sitting on his bed. Contemplating to what Aya said.

He remembered a distant memory. A conversation between him and Zeke.

<Flashback>

Diana was delivering a speech to a school in Dublin.

Zeke and Eric was there.

Zeke was looking at her wife. Very proud of her.

Eric was looking at her as well.

Zeke turned around to Eric. Seeing him look at his wife, he saw how much he had loved her in the past up until now.

Zeke: You still love her huh?

Eric: I do, would you hate me for that?

Zeke: Honestly, no. My wife is just that beautiful so I really can't blame you 

He said joking to his friend.

Zeke: You know Eric, one day, if ever she needs you, be there for her okay?

Eric: If ever that happens, you would be there to help her first.

Zeke: What if, I wont be?

Eric looked at him, mad.

Eric: Don't ever make her cry Zeke.

Zeke smiled

Zeke: Thats not how love works Eric, not all the time you will be happy.

Tears are also a necessity.
.
.
.

To make you realize how important the other important person is.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Promise me, be there for her when the time comes I won't be able to.

<END OF FLASHBACK>

Eric phone's rang

It was Cha. He answered

Cha: Dad, I need your help.

Eric didn't respond.

Cha: Dad!

Eric breathe deep as he was talking to his daughter, thinking about everything, about Aya, Sha, Zeke and lastly, Diana.

He thought.

"Were you preparing me for this Zeke?"

David hugged Aya. He missed her so much.

It was already too long since he have seen her. She grew up to be more beautiful.

She was always this beautiful.
