Will Always Love You

"Look at the moon baby, isn't it so bright and beautiful as if it's shinning down just for the two of us?" Xian whispered in my ears as we slowly dance along with the sound of the ocean waves.

I was surprised when he hugged me from behind and put something on my neck. "Happy 2 years of love baby" he said.

"Ang ganda. Thank you Xian" I smiled at him while looking at the necklace he just put on me.

"Mas maganda ka" he exclaimed.

Gosh! God knows how much I love this man. I held his face with both of my hands and then squeeze it until it turns red." I love you so much Xian and I will always will. Pangako yan"

"I love you too Jamie and I will always will"

He sealed our promise with a kiss under the moonlight.

"My turn now to give you my present" I uttered with full of excitement.

"Really? What is it baby?" he said

I clung my arms around his neck and slowly whispered the words which changed our lives forever.

"I'm pregnant"


That was 3 years ago.....

I wiped away the treacherous tears that is falling on my cheeks upon remembering those bittersweet memory of us.

"It could have been less painful if you are here baby" I whispered to the thin air while looking at the grave in front of me.

In loving memory of

Baby Boy Estellor



Darkness is starting to embrace the clear sky that's why I started to fix my things and prepare to leave.


"See you again tomorrow baby"

I was about to walk away when somebody grabbed my hand from behind.



"X-Xian?"


"Why didn't you tell me that our baby is gone Jamie hmmm?"



My eyebrows crimpled. "I thought you didn't care anymore, you left without saying anything right?" I blurted out with a weak smile.


I can see pain in his expression but he still managed to talk. "I'm sorry for leaving you 3 years ago, I was so coward back then that's why I run away but I'm here now"

"I will never leave you again Jamie and with all my heart I'm hoping that the promise we made under the moonlight 3 years ago is still valid" he added.



I let out a deep sigh "Xian since you've left 3 years ago, nabalot ng galit at lungkot yung puso ko. But I never break my promise to you, minahal parin kita at patuloy pang mamahalin..."


He lifted up his head and looked at me with eyes that is full of hopes and regrets...

"Am I forgiven then?" his voice is still trembling but I saw that his face lightened up.



"Not yet Xian. Not in a million years" I took a few steps away from where he is before telling him the words that I'm dying to say.

"I will always love you but the only punishment I can give you for hurting me this bad is not to be with you .....ever again."




And with that, I left him standing there as I wiped away the last tears that will fall because of him.
