Heartfelt
*woosh*
The wind blew and softly touched my face. I cannot remember the last time I went here. It was a long time ago.
Finally, I'm back.
I missed this. My simple life before—my life with him.
1997
"Let me go, please. I am not the right person for you." I said between my tears "I am years older than you."
"I don't care. All that matters to me now was you and I." he angrily said
"Just please—" I cried
"Come with me." I looked onto his eyes
I held his hand and leave all the things behind.
1998
"We will build our home here." He whispered and kissed my forehead
He bought a small house.
"I love you, Hun. I cannot imagine my life without you." he said between our kisses "I will never ever leave you. No one can take us apart, even death."
I close my eyes as memories are flashing back.
We used to dream how our life in future.
2000
"I'm sorry. I can't keep my promise anymore. Just please, always remember that I love you and my heart always beat for you" he cried
That day, I promise myself not to go back to this place.
"Please, don't leave me. I cannot live without you." I begged
"I'm sorry." He bowed his head
"Sorry? I've sacrificed everything. I gave up everything for you!"
He never say a word.
He turned his back on me.
He never came back.
I missed him.
I left my things back in the city. No phone, laptop or anything, just my car. I want to escape.
2004
"Ate, I found these stuffs on Kuya's things. I think that's yours. Your name was written on it" Ash, his sister handed me a little box
'My dearest Carmen'
I curiously opened it
A letter
and
Ring
I touched our supposed to be wedding ring
Our wedding...

Love,
If you're reading this, please smile. Don't be sad. I know I've cost you too much pain. I'm sorry. My sorry won't change everything.
I know I didn't keep my promise. I just need to do it because I love you.
I wanted you to know that I am always here with you, always, no matter what happen.
I may not be by your side physically, but I will always watch you wherever you may go.
I saw all of your achievements. I saw your ups and downs. I am always watching you even from afar.
And finally, you've already achieved your dreams. You are now successful on your own.
You are now in that stage. Your dream since kid. You've been into many prestigious stage.
I'm so proud of you, Hun.
I love you. Always remember that my heart always beats for you.
Your love,
Francis
Tears continuously flow down my cheek.
"Wait. I cannot understand. Where is he? Can I see him?"
"Is he on abroad? Please Ash, tell me. I need to see him."
"I'm sorry ate. I can't" tears flow onto her cheeks
"Please? I'm begging you"
Ash left with no choice and bring me to him.
"What are we doing here?" I curiously asked
"This is where Kuya is."
My knees are shaking as I walk towards him.

My head hurts as memories are coming back.
That was the day when I received new heart.
Is he?
Is he my donor?
I was taken back when Mang Karding show out of nowhere.
That's when I realized, he did everything.
He died because of me.
He gave his heart for me to live.
He's right. His heart always beat for me.
