Jaime --------------------------------- Prologue Sabi ng iba, ang love daw walang pinipili. Lugar, oras at kahit tao pa man yan. They said, love can hurt you in every way and in most painful way. Paano kung may isang tao na sobrang tagal mo ng minamahal? Yung tao na kahit ipagtabuyan ka, kahit saktan ka ng paulit-ulit, ipagpipilitan at ipagpipilitan mo pa rin yung sarili mo? Kasi tanga ka. kasi mahal mo siya. Kahit na ilang beses ka niyang palayuin sa kanya. Ipahiya sa harap ng ibang tao. Not to mention your reputation and dignity's rotting because of him. Lalapit ka pa rin ba para mapatunayan mo lang na hindi ka marunong sumuko? But that person is so tough, kasi kahit anong pagpapalambot mo wala siyang ginawa kundi ang kaayawan ka. Pero ikaw si tanga, at walang ideya kung bakit sisige ka pa rin. Kahit na alam mong ayos lang sa kanya na lapitan ng lahat ng babae... Basta huwag lang ikaw yung lalapit? Kasi nasisira yung araw niya. Kasi iritang-irita siya sa iyo for God knows what the reason is. Alam mo sa sarili mong nahihirapan ka na. Pero desperada ka na. Kaya gagawin mo lahat mapansin ka niya, kahit na sobrang sakit na. But... What if, one day, he came to you?  Yun bang saktong-sakto doon sa oras na sumuko ka na sa kanya. Na sumuko ka nang palambutin siya? Yung oras na, you already hated him and promised to yourself that enough is enough. Saying that he's sorry. Saying that he wants to change? Anong gagawin mo?
