On Christmas Eve, my father got the man I had secretly loved for ten years drunk and sent him to my bed. When I woke up the next morning, Roy pulled away from my attempt at a good-morning kiss. His voice was cold and distant as he agreed to marry me. After the wedding, Roy wasted no time submitting a transfer request. He took an overseas post and left. He did not return for five years. I gave birth to our daughter, Eve, alone and waited for him to come back home. When I heard that Roy had finally applied to return to a domestic position, I was overjoyed. I spent days preparing, imagining our first reunion as husband and wife. But even when the clock struck midnight, he still hadn't come home. Our daughter, ever so thoughtful, placed her most treasured possession—a photograph of Roy—into my hands. "Don't cry, Mommy," she said softly. "Look, Daddy's right here." I tried to convince myself that his absence was due to a delayed flight. But later that night, while watching the news, I saw him. He was on a crowded city street, holding a young girl in his arms. Beside him stood a woman, her smile soft and warm. Facing the camera, Roy said, "Being with them is my greatest wish." At that moment, something inside me broke. I wrote up the divorce papers, packed our things, and planned to take Eve to change her identity. I didn't want him anymore. The day before we left, a man I had never met came to see me. He was Roy's father. "You could call me Dad," he said, a faint smile playing on his lips. "But I'd rather you call me Ryan." I told him everything about the past five years—how I had waited, how I had hoped. When I finished, he laughed softly, an unusual warmth in his voice. "If it was just business," he said, "perhaps your father should have tied a bow around me and sent me to your bed instead. But I hold my liquor well—if I ever end up wrapped in a bow, you can be sure it's by choice."

Pag-ibig, isang salita ngunit marami ang ibig sabihin. Pag- ibig, tila ba simple lamang, ngunit ang totoo ay kayang gawin lahat sa ngalan ng pagsinta. Mayroon bang mas sasakit pa sa pusong pinagtaksilan matapos mong gawin at ibigay ang lahat maging ng iyong buhay sa taong tangi mong minahal? Matapos basagin at durugin ng pinung- pino ang iyong puso ng taong tangi mong pinagkatiwalaan nito, may kakayahan ka pa bang magpatawad at umibig muli? Matapos mong maghintay ng walang hanggan sa pangakong labis mong pinanghawakan ngunit sa huli’y tanging panlilinlang lamang ang iyong napala, may lakas ka pa bang muling magtiwala sa mundo? Papaano mo ipagpapatuloy ang buhay kung hindi mo na kilala maging ang sarili mo mismo?
