I watched Elisha heading towards the door of the airport. When he was out of my sight, I decided to go home.

I was about to walk to my car when suddenly, nakilala ako ng isang reporter.

"Hi, Miss Aeri. Ikaw nga! May I ask why are you here? And si Sir Elisha yung hinatid nyo po diba? Why did he leave?" Tanong ng reporter. Patuloy ako sa paglalakad.

"Miss Aeri, wait! I'll just ask you some questions, please!" Sigaw ng reporter. Dahil sa malakas na sigaw na yun ay maraming tao ang nakarinig. Since kilalang kilala ako at marami akong admirers, Marami ang sumubok lumapit sakin.

Tumakbo na ako sa takot na dumugin ng mga tao. Malapit na ako sa kotse ko when suddenly I bumped into a man.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." nakayuko kong saad sa takot na makilala rin ako kung sino man iyon.

Dali dali akong nagtungo sa kotse ko. Tsaka pinaandar iyon at umalis sa lugar na iyon.

I needed to withdraw some cash so I dropped by the bank near my condo.

"Shit. Goddamn it, Aeri!" I muttered a curse when I realize that I lost my wallet at the airport. I am so careless! I was thinking where would I put that or where I lost it.

"The man! Right! Yung nakabangga ko! Baka nasa kanya iyon! Sana naman mabuting tao."

My wallet has some of my financial cards and also, a calling card. Hindi siya mahihirapang icontact ako dahil nandun ang number, manager at ng PA ko. But I hope hindi niya gagalawin ang mga financial cards ko.

Since wala naman akong mapapala sa banko. Umuwi na lang ako. I ordered some food because I'm too tired to cook. And besides, I'm the only one who's gonna eat.

After I eat, nag relax ako sa bathtub. Nilagyan ko ng lavander scent ang tub oara marelax ako. I spent 30 mins in the tub and decided to rinse off all the soaps on my body. I showered and did my usual skincare routine.

I am now lying on my bed, ready to sleep pero ang antok ay hindi pa ako dinadalaw. I checked on my social media accs.

elisha.gonz: Aeri, Take a good care of yourself while I'm out. I'll make this fast so we can fix our problems there. Goodnight, sleep well...

Saw his dm while I was browsing on my IG. Di na ata siya nakaaccess sa sim card ng Pilipinas kaya siya nag dm.

aeri_garcia: Yes, You too, Elisha. Okay, then. I'll wait ;)

Usap usapan rin kanina yung hinatid ko sa airport si Elisha. Sabog rin ang notif ko dahil doon. Gosh! Ilang arae na akong nagttrending!

Nagscroll pa ako ng nag scroll saka lang tumigil ng may nakita akong pamikyar na pangalan.

Engr. Jacob Castillo, one of the best Engineers in Asia, comes back to the Philippines?

I knew that he is one of the best noon pa. He was tagged in that post so I clicked his name to check his profile.

Woah, 500k huh? Well, yung sakin naman eh 900K. We never unfollowed each other since we broke up.

He just have 3 post. The latest photo was just a building abroad. The second one is his picture with his parents.

The third picture really caught my attention. It was our last picture before we broke up. He was holding my hand. Nakataas iyon at kita ang necklace na ibinigay niya sakin.

jacob.castillo: I hope your sun is always around to light up your day because I am not your moon anymore that lights up your darkest hours. I missed you, Amor.

Ito lang ang isang natirang picture ko sa kanyang wall. He didnt tag me maybe because for privacy, I guess? While me, I only left the picture of that necklace na hawak ko at ang background ay siya pero naka blur. Pero sa dami ng pics na napost ko, hindi na iyon makikita siguro.

My caption was, 'Tonight, I fell in love with the moon. The moon was you...' Tinagtag ko ang tag doon para hindi na maungkat kung sino iyon.

I sighed. Hot tears filled my eyes. Umiyak ako ng umiyak.

I miss his touch, his kiss, his hug. I miss everything about him. I miss every inch of him so bad.

I missed you everyday, love.

I should've fight for our love. Dapat hindi kita iniwan. Up until now, I have so many regrets. So many "i wish" running on my mind. I feel bad for myself for letting you go. I'm sorry, love. I'm so sorry. I was so selfish.

Humikbi ako ng humikbi. Gusto ko sana ng kausap kaso alam kong si Elisha ay nasa flight pa. I didn't want to open up sa nga friends ko sa showbiz kasi hindi naman nila alam ang tungkol dun.

Ng mahimasmasan, tumayo ako at lumabas ng kwarto. Kumuha ako ng wine tsaka lumabas sa balcony.

Doon tinanaw ko ang maliwanag na ilaw ng siyudad. Ang silky robe na suot ko tska ang laylayan ng night dress ko ay hinihipan ng hangin. Sumimsim ako sa wine tsaka bumuntong hiniga.

You've gone too far, Aeristell. I'm so oroud of you. I'm sure Jacob's proud of you too. You reached your dream and became successful despite of having a cruel people that surrounds you and a lonely life. You survived. You changed yourself to a better and stronger person. You did it, Aeri. You were so brave.

Since it was getting cold, I went back inside. I decided to read a book para antukin ako. I'm still drinking a wine to help me fall asleep faster.

Nang nangalay ang likod sa kakaupo, bumalik ako sa kwarto para mahiga. I was checking on my schedule for tomorrow's shoot.

Maluwag ang schedule ko bukas kase hapon pa kami mah shohooting. It may be the last shoot because bibigyan kami ng summer vacation. Time for our family and lived ones .

Binasa ko ang ilan pang reminders. Thankfully, sa QC at sa studio lang ang shooting. Hindi ganoon ka hassle.

Hinome ko na ang screen ng phone ko ng makaramdam ng antok. I was about to put away my phone when it suddenly beeped.

Unknown Number:

Goodevening, Miss Aeristell Garcia. I have your wallet. You droped this ealier sa airport. I'll give this to you, tomorrow.
