“To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved.”
― Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions

Chapter 40 “maybe this time” [FINALE]
After 2 years..
Tuwing may vacant time ako, palagi kong sinisearch ang pangalan nya sa internet to know if he’s fine. I started typing on the search bar “RAVEN BLACK”. I smiled upon seeing his face. Gwapo pa rin sya gaya ng dati.
“Don’t you have any plans to go back anak?”
“You’re the one who told me not to go back unless we prove to ourselves that we can achieve something without each other.”
“But Raven is now one of the richest bachelor in the Philippines.”
Binasa ko ang article sa internet at mag vivictory party daw sa susunod na araw.
“Otousan, babalik na ako.”
“Then go. Gusto ko lang naman na mahalin nyo muna ang mga sarili nyo bago kayo magmahal ng iba. How can you give love if you don’t know how to love yourself?”
“Otousan, arigatou.”
Alam ko namang pinaglayo lang kami ni otousan dahil gusto nya muna na mamuhay kami para sa aming sarili at hindi dahil para sa iba. You can’t give the exact amount of love the other person needs if you yourself don’t know how to love yourself.
