My Zaira Leigh,
Maalala ko noong graduation ng bunso natin ng high-school, asawa ko. I got excited, I attended his graduation even though he wouldn't like my presence there. I am so proud of our youngest -- hinakot niya lahat ng awards. He is the valedictorian for this batch and I couldn't be more proud.
I still remember, I am also the valedictorian in our batch.
I prepared a party for him in our mansion but he chose to stay away from people. Nalungkot ako sa inasal niya, Zaira. Siguro kung nandito ka, pinilit mo na siyang dumalo sa party. Ikaw kasi ang life-saver ko kapag nasa alanganin ako -- lalo na kay Lexus.
Maalala ko noong mga ilang buwan pa lang si Lexus, palagi mo na lang sinasabi na mag-ma-mana sa akin ang bunso natin. I wanted to go back to the moments that you will be happy. I want us to go back to those time that I will see you happy -- with me, with the kids, and the people around us.
Sana may magawa akong paraan, Zaira. Kaso, wala. Walang-wala.
Are you even missing me? Kasi ako, hindi ko na yata kaya ang pangungulila ko sa 'yo. Kahit ang mga bata, Zaira. The emptiness in our hearts... is not bearable at all. How can I move on from this loneliness?
