THE BEST part of being in love with Alas Montoya? It was the fact that I was still the same person with the same issues and fears but somehow, they seemed smaller and irrelevant, like a soft bundle of clouds wrapped me in a cocooned of sweet slumber. Nakapapanibago at nakalulula pero handang-handa ang puso ko. Hindi ko pa nasubukan ang masaktan nang sobra-sobra dahil sa pagmamahal maliban sa pagmamahal sa mga magulang ko, pero alam ko namang parte ng pagmamahal ang masaktan. Pero sana, huwag dumating ang araw na ‘yon.
I was aware that there were still uncertainties ahead of us, but as long as Alas was holding my hand then everything was certainty okay. The strong wind, that was his mere presence, buoyed my ship in the middle of a serene ocean.
