(Finished) When you started to doubt yourself if you were worth it. When you couldn't move on from your past no matter how hard you'd tried. When you picked up her broken pieces but you ended up hurting yourself.
This is the art of breaking. The art...

"Excuse me, excuse me..." Ani ko sa mga taong nagkukumpulan sa labas ng building ng Supreme Court. Ngayong araw na kasi inirelease ang results ng bar exam na tinake ko last year. Sa labas kasi ng building ng SC ipinost ang mga pumasa sa isang malaking bulletin board na nakadisplay dito. Next week pa kasi ipopost online.
Nang makalapit na ako sa bulletin board ay kaagad kong hinanap ang pangalan ko. Aaminin kong mabilis talaga ang tibok ng puso ko sa mga oras na iyon. Parang akong sasabog dahil sa mga emosyong nararamdaman ko habang hinahanap ang apelyido ko.
"Jimenez..." I keep mumbling my surname until my eyes got widened when I finally saw my family name on the list.
Jimenez, Miranda Cortes
But before I could even scream out of joy, somebody called my name. I looked back and saw a very familiar man standing behind a number of bar exam takers who were looking for their name also.
Paxton smiled at me. He was smiling at me like he was so proud of me.
I smiled back as well and started to walk near him. As the years went by, he became my only friend in law school. He knows all about me especially about my family and Arran. He was with me during my crucial years in my law degree and for that, I'm really grateful. I'm happy that he became my best friend.
"Did you pass too?" I asked him as I looked up. He was really damn tall, just like Arran.
He just gave me his warm smile again and nodded. Then he suddenly hugged me. Napangiti na lang ulit ako dahil sa pagyakap niya sa 'kin. I hugged him back as well. I'm really happy for us dahil parehas kaming nakapasa sa bar ng one take lang. And as expected of him, baka nga nagtop pa ito dahil grumuduate siyang may highest honors sa law school namin.
"I'm proud of you, Mira," His voice was soft and sincere, "You topped the bar exam."
Hindi naman kaagad ako nakapagsalita matapos ang sinabi niya. Humiwalay ako mula sa pagkakayakap ko sa kanya. I squinted my eyes at him in disbelief. He chuckled and motioned his index finger at the bulletin board.
