Mahal,
I don't know why I'm still doing this email thing. In particular, and I'm sure you won't be able to read it.
Maybe this is my way of coping with the pain of losing the most important person in my life.
You.
Today is Lyra and Sir Jhezz's wedding...second surprise wedding to be specific.
In normal circumstances, I wouldn’t go.
But I want to witness the happiest part of my friend's life.
How can I say that a wedding is one of the happiest parts of life?
Because when we got married, I was at my happiest.
Memories of our wedding kept flashing in my mind. It's not fancy, we don't even have a wedding reception.
I remember we just dragged our classmates and Ma'am Diaz, my favorite professor, to be a witnesses at our wedding.
But for me, that was the grandest and most lavish wedding.
Because I got married to you.
Oh! By the way, they are expecting to. I wish you saw how happy Sir Jhezz was when Lyra said she was pregnant. He is so happy beyond comprehension!
Well, they deserve to be happy after all that they have been through. Maybe fate got tired of giving them problems, so it decided to give them a happy ending. I'm so glad they experienced it. That happy ending. Because ours ended differently. We were only happy for a moment.
I can’t help but ask myself. If things got a little bit different, maybe your reaction would be the same as Sir Jhezz's. Maybe you will also jump with joy and shout to the whole world how happy you are that we are finally expecting.
I know you are just keeping quiet about it, but I feel you are eager to have a child. I know we are not that stable when it comes to our finances at that time. But I know how responsible you are. Since the beginning of our marriage, I have always told you that I am not asking for a grand lifestyle. I am not used to that. All I want is a family that I will look up to and go home to when my work is done. And a family that will stick together, cry, be happy, quarrel, and accomplish things together.
I know you will be a great father. A father who would be with them always. Through their ups and downs. Through their sorrow and happiness. Through their accomplishments and disappointments. Like how you stood by my side and cheered me throughout my battles.
I can’t help but imagine, what if you never got into that accident? What if our child was born? What if we are still together and fulfilling our dreams together?
Our child will be around 4 years old. He or she is already a toddler, in kindergarten. Meeting new friends and interacting with different people. He or she may have your personality. A jolly, full-of-energy ball of sunshine. Loved and adored by people around us.
I can’t help but smile at those thoughts.
But amidst the cheer and happiness around me. Darkness is hugging me, little by little.
I don’t want to break down in front of those happy people around me. I was about to walk out of the reception area, but the bar counter invited me. A few drinks won’t hurt. You are not happy to see me drinking, right? But you are not around.
I was about to walk out of the reception. But luckily I did not. Because after 5 years of pain, my heart had a pain reliever for a while. That was the most carefree laugh I have had in the last 5 years.
I was okay for a while. So I didn't regret going to Lyra's wedding. But little by little, the small light that ignited the hope in my heart was burned out. I'm back to what I was before. Reality slaps me during moments of happiness. I can’t help but cry and succumb once again to the despair of my reality.
Yes, I can smile, I can laugh, I can be happy...or sort of, in front of many people. But deep down in my heart, I know I'm not okay. I will never be okay. Because I miss you. Every second, every heartbeat. And what pains me more is that I can't do anything about it.
I know that life is not fair. It was always unfair, and it is not right to ask. But about the things that happened to me, I can’t help but wonder. Why, of all the people in the world, He chooses me as the fighter for these kinds of battles? Me. Who did not ask for more? I just ask for what I deserve. Me. Who doesn’t have anyone besides to lean on? Me. Who, though it’s hard, is trying her best to be a good person and live her life.
I have faced different challenges since I was young, and the only wish I keep praying for is to have someone I can lean on and cling to. And then you came. You are my answered prayer and I could not ask for more. You are more than enough for me. But sadly, you were just lent to me for a while.
Maybe if you knew this is what I am doing with my life you would scold me. 5 long years. Five years of crying and sadness because of missing you so much.
But it’s your fault! You said you wouldn't leave me! You said you would always watch over me. You said...you promised. And once again, someone broke their promise to me. But yours is the most painful one. Because I still can't stand up after a long time.
Honestly, I am tired. So tired of the pain and sorrow that is always enveloping me. I don’t know when this pain will stop.
Maybe I will come to the point where I can be freed from the chain that I have bound myself. But maybe this is still not the right time.
Please always remember that I love you very much.
Missing you every day, my one and only.
- Infinity

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. - You Are My Sunshine, Moira *** SATURDAY. Weekend. Various types of Christmas decor are scattered throughout the mall. Jose Marie Chan songs are playing throughout the mall speakers. She had no intention of leaving her house that day. But when she woke up this morning, Infinity felt that her apartment was crowded and as if everything inside her room was gagging her up. She needs fresh air. She needed to see new things, though she had reasons not to go out. First, she didn't want to spend some money. She’s not poor or rich. Her expenditures per month are based on her royalties and salary. Sometimes, she doesn’t have the privilege of spending a lot. Second, this season, the Christmas season, maybe the happiest occasion in the Philippines, but this season also gives her so many heartbreaks. She wants to be something other than a walking bi

Leaves will soon grow from the bareness of trees And all will be alright in time From waves overgrown come the calmness of seas And all will be alright in time Wounds of the past wll eventually heal And all will be alright in time ‘Cause all of this comes with a love that is real You never really love someone until you learn to forgive. - Leaves, Ben&Ben *** AN old lady can be seen leaning back in her bed, looking off into the distance. She seemed to be thinking deeply. Its wrinkled skin is the living evidence of resilience. A young man was seen sitting on a stool near her bed. While the old lady was looking into the distance, he was just staring at her. The man beside her had different emotions that you could see in his eyes. Flattering, and resentful, but the love and missing are more pronounced. He loved the person who served as his second mother. In truth, this old lady is more loving than her mother.

*** INFINITY happily entered a compound. It's a little bit chaotic because of the horns of cars and people walking beside the vicinity. It was neighboring a lot of condominiums and a shopping mall. But the atmosphere is peaceful once you enter the compound. Thanks to a lot of trees surrounding the vicinity, it most blocked the noise and pollution. The home for the elderly who have no other home. It has been a long time since she last visited this place. Maybe two months. The reason is first, she was too busy at work. Second, as much as possible, she doesn't want to see people from her past. Sadness was already consuming her every day, it was swallowing her whole. Maybe her heart can't take it anymore if there is someone or something that could remind her of her past. This is the person she leaned on when he was alone. She became a wall to Infinity at times when she had no one to lean on. She never left her side, but fate did a little trick once again. That’s why she ended up in th

Can love be measured by the hours in a day? I have no answers now but this much I can say I know I’ll need him till the stars all burn away - Where Do I Begin “Love Story”, Gary Valenciano *** MONDAY. Tears in Heaven, the novel Infinity is currently writing, has just been uploaded to the website. And before the new chapter warms up, Pipay and Robin are already messing around at their tables talking about it. "Did the writer of this story get neglected when she was still a child? Why does she like to make her readers cry?" Robin said those words quite loudly. She is sure that is a comment from one of her readers. "While I'm reading this, I'm thinking happy thoughts because I'm sure I'm going to cry. But it didn't work. This story is excellent but heartbreaking.” "I want to tweak the writer for this story." She heard Pipay say. “Infinity! Come on! Go hide! Your readers are ready to eat you alive!" Robin threatens her. "If your reader is okay with it, I am glad to tweak you m

*** HER feet took her to a place he never thought she would return to. This place reminds her of so many happy memories. Yet the moment she enters the coffee shop, she feels nothing but sadness and pain. The coffee shop used to be her happy place. Her piece of heaven. Not much has changed in that area. The tables have just been added, and the employees have changed, but the ambiance and the feel inside the coffee shop remain the same. Her former university is just 2 blocks away. So many students were there today, some were just chatting with their friends and some were reviewing. She sees herself in them. Years ago. She used to be that university student in that very same spot. She stayed there almost every day early in the morning while she was procrastinating her papers that had to be submitted the next day. She would order a cup of their cheapest coffee and would stay there for hours. This is also the same place where they've shared so many memories. She immediately

It’s hard enough just passing the time When I can’t seem to get off my mind And where is the good in goodbye? Tell me why, tell me why - Do You Ever Think About Me, Brian Mcknight *** THE Journal’s Awards Night is just around the corner, some writers are already busy preparing. But Infinity is not affected at all. It's not because she's an introvert, but she's not too fond of parties and glamour. She is the type of person who likes silence. Peace. Because that is what she's dreamed of having all this time. Peace of mind. She has seen the categories that will be awarded. She is nominated in 3 categories. The tragic story category, which is said by his colleagues, will definitely be given to her. The romance category and the Young Adult category. Even so, she is still actually thinking of ways to avoid awards night. She doesn’t have the slightest interest in attending the program, if only she could avoid her friend before the program, she would. "Infinity, do you already have

*** "WHAT do you think, Felice, Infinity? Is this good for me?" Angelica asked them if the red gown she was holding would look good on her. It has a simple design, but Infinity thinks that it would be a perfect match for Angelica’s complexion. "It suits you, Angelica. All the gowns you wear are good for you. Your complexion suited every color," Felice answered. "Oh no! It is the same with you. The gowns you fit look good on you too. I also like your complexion. You look like Ms. Venus Raj!” "She's my peg for the awards night! Let's go back to the gown that looks like what she wore during her Ms. Universe competition! I think that is the one I would wear! I feel like I am the queen of the Universe!” Both of the girls laugh at their silliness. Infinity just watched silently from one side. She's not out of place or third wheel to the two. She just prefers to be quiet on one side. Her companions know this. Sometimes she laughs or answers when they ask for her opinion. "How about you

‘Cause I wish you the best of all this could give And I told you when you left me There’s nothing to forgive But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was heartbreak and misery It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way You’re happy without me. - Jealous, Labrinth *** “OMG! Why are there so many people?” Felice asked them nervously. "What is this? (1)KathNiel’s* new movie red carpet premiere? There are also lots of reporters!” Pipay is also nervous when she sees the swamp of people. They agreed to go together to The Journal's Awards Night. First, it's embarrassing to enter the venue if you're alone. But the main reason is to save money on fares. "I didn't expect so many reporters to come. I think sir Patrick went overboard here." Robin was whispering while they were following the asher to enter the red carpet and the venue. "Our platform has also become quite big. Online reading and writing have become popular. I am not surprised if the media is

Plus the 2 years we were together before the accident.Who could have thought that the decade we are together would give us a rollercoaster of emotions, trials, and frustrations?

***ELROY is livid. He had never felt this kind of anger before. He was busy with his work when Leo called him. He is sure that Leo is angry. But hearing what happened he also felt the same. That's why, before going home, he first went to his parents' mansion. It was almost their dinner time at the mansion, so he knew that his mother was already there. And he found his entire family at the dining table while the servants brought out the food one by one. "P-Paolo, you're here! Come eat dinner with us!” His mother said happily.

The doctor had given them the go signal to be discharged from the hospital. "Are you sure you can travel to Manila?" Leo asked his sister worriedly. "You know you can stay here to heal more. Besides, Jana said you have passed the critical stage. But we can't be complacent yet. Your pregnancy is delicate.&rdquo

***“GOOD EVENING!” Leo happily greeted his sister as he entered her hospital room. But she's not alone. She's with Enzo, and he also has bruises and cuts on his face. He gave a sweet smile to his little sister and kissed her forehead. She was a little embarrassed, but he didn't mind. She looks cute blushing. "Hello! How was your day? How's the baby?” Leo asked as he was caressing her head. He could hear Enzo grunt on the other side. "Janna said that we should be careful, she had spotting earlier! That asshole stresses her out!”

***ELROY did not waste any seconds and started to drive to where his wife was. It took him hours to travel, but he did not feel tired. When he arrived at the said hospital, the visiting hours were over. He decided to stay at the local motel, freshen up, and go to her first thing tomorrow. When the morning came, he bought a flower basket and went straight to the hospital. She asked the front desk where her room was, and the station nurse said it was in the suite. He was in front of her door. He had been waiting for this time for a week. But he didn't know why he was agitated. 3 minutes passed when he decided to knock and open the door. He was welcomed by sofas, which looked like the receiving area of the room. At the end of the room, there was a separate room that looked like the room of the patient itself. He peered and there, he saw his wife. She is sleeping soundly, but based on her face she looks tired. He put the flowers on the bedside table and sat in the visitor's chair

Sana'y habang buhay tayong magkasama, ang puso ko'y ibibigay lamang sa 'yo Ito ang aking pangako mula ngayon hanggang magpakailan pa man. Ikaw lamang - Ikaw Lamang, Gary Valenciano *** ELROY immediately went to the orphanage expecting his wife to be there. But she is nowhere to be found. “Infinity hasn't been back here since you left. The last time we exchanged messages was when you returned from Manila,” Sister Mabelle said to him. Elroy's heart beat erratically. Infinity is not here. Where will he find his wife? He had no idea where she could go. "Thank you, Sister." He just said this while trying to think of where his wife could go. He wasted no time and immediately left the orphanage. It had been a long drive from Manila, but he would not hesitate to return there just to find out where his wife was. "P-Paolo! Paolo!” He heard sister Mabelle shouting his name, so he immediately stopped getting in the car.
