"Mom, I'm leaving!" I said goodbye to my mother who was washing her clothes, she looked at me and then smiled. She stood up in her seat and then approached me.
"Be careful daughter," she said that's why I nodded while smiling."Promise mom, I'll be back here with my dad," I said proudly so she laughed, she touched my cheek and then pulled me to hug. I closed my eyes and hugged my mother as well."Hopefully daughter," she whispered then let go of the hug and looked at me."All right, get out and you might get late caught on the bus, be careful," she said that's why I took my bag and then nodded to my mother."I'll be back too," I said then with a smile turned my back on my mother, I immediately followed the waiting tricycle on the side and then looked at my mother again."Your medicine! Don't forget to drink." I said, she smiled and nodded at me, I waved my two hands at her and then smiled."On the bus station," I told the tricycle driver I could arrange a seat. This is the beginning of the day when I will look for my father. I took out the picture that my mother gave me and then smiled while looking at the picture of my father, my mother was there with him and they were hugging each other."I'll be with you too, papa." I smiled and then hid the picture, a few minutes later when I got off the tricycle and got on the bus before I got on the bus where I was going to ride to the town where I heard my dad was there I first went through a minimart to buy the food I will need because it also takes a few days to travel there.
When I got on the bus, I immediately sat by the window and waited for the bus to start. I was distracted by someone sitting in the empty seat next to me.
I frowned when I saw him busy playing dumb ways to die.
"Can I die that way?" My forehead furrowed even more because of what the man next to me said. I just looked in front of me and then took a deep breath, I haven't been to another town yet but I immediately met a weird person.
I just turned my gaze to the window then slammed my earphone into my ear and plugged the end of it into my Nokia cellphone.
One day, I will have a cellphone just like the cellphone of the man next to me.
I leaned back in my seat and then closed my eyes to sleep for a while but a demon servant approached me causing me to look at the person next to me who was already looking at me."You seem to have paid." He said so I looked at the man standing next to him then smiled and took my purse from the pocket of my bag, but my forehead frowned when I felt that my purse was not there. I immediately searched my whole bag but the ground almost swallowed me with shame and trepidation because I didn't find a purse there.
"Where's my wallet?" I whispered to myself. I swallowed and looked at the one next to me who came out a thousand.
"We both paid." He told the conductor so my eyes widened and I felt ashamed of what the man next to me had done.
"Where's the chin?" he asked the man.
"One of the hermitages." The man answered and then pointed at me. "Just ask her," he said then went back to playing dumb ways to die. My lips parted as I looked at him. It only broke when the conductor called me."In the municipality of Roxas," I said then looked back at the man next to me. The conductor left so I felt even more embarrassed.
What? How do I say the word thank you to him? He was wearing earphones and playing dumb ways to die. I swallowed and then touched the man but he did not look at me. I touched him again and that time he looked at me.
He raised an eyebrow and waited for me to say something.
I pointed to the earphone that was plugged into his ear so he removed it, I smiled."Thank you, God bless you," I said but he just stared at me.
"I said thank you," I repeat.
"Oh done?" The man asked so I was surprised.
"Say 'You're welcome don't you--"
"Ah all right, all right, just wait for someone to talk about it." He said he then finally removed another earphone that was attached to his ear. "What's that Ms.?" He asked me causing me to stare and be ashamed of what I said.
I mean, was he talking to someone while on earphones? Josmio, Lord Please forgive me for what I did to him earlier. I'm just a human being and I made mistakes.
"Ms.? Are you saying something?" He asked me so I was scared.
"I-I said, s-thank you," I said. "G-God bless you," I added, he didn't say a word then put the earphone back on his ear and continued to play dumb ways to die while talking to someone.
Nothing welcome? 'you're welcome?'
I just looked out the window and closed my eyes, I didn't realize the time I fell asleep. I just woke up last night and I could feel hungry. I took the food I bought earlier and looked at the man next to me but he was no longer there and was empty again.I just shrugged my shoulders and then looked for my food when I could find something on the side of my bag, I wrinkled my forehead and saw that it was my wallet.
I was stunned to remember that it had not been there before so I immediately opened it and saw a small piece of paper tucked between twenty and five hundred.
"You fell your wallet earlier, let me get your fare earlier. Anyways, You're welcome."

Epilogue
"Erelah." I turned to the person who called me. Damon. He smiled at me beautifully while holding a small tray filled with medicines."Time to take medicine," Damon said to me so I smiled and nodded in agreement to what he said, he smiled and came to me then handed me a medicine capsule, I smiled and took it from him then he handed me a glass of water, again I took it at him while smiling and not taking off my eyes on him.I showed him how I take the medicine and even opened my mouth to prove that I had taken the medicine he gave me, I couldn't take my eyes off him, I felt like when I took my eyes off him he will be gone forever and it will be a long time before he returns.I don't want to miss him again so I don't even blink."Get some rest Erelah." He said so I immediately shook my head."I don't want to," I said quickly while looking at him."Erelah, you need to rest, go ahead and grow your eyebags." He said that's why I pouted causing him to laugh."I don't want to, you'll leave me
Killer's last word
I took a deep breath while looking into the void, I didn't know what I should do, if I would listen to my wishes or if I would keep the promise I made.I can't quite figure out if I should be selfish or if I should pay for all my sins.I don't want to live in a world where there is a heavy sin. Even before I met her, I wanted to disappear.Even before she came into my life, I was always looking for a way to end my life without feeling pain.But when she came, my world changed. I remember what she said before. "If you have a problem, pray, killing yourself is not the solution to all your problems." That's what always sticks in my mind every time I try to commit suicide.One day I tried what she said, I prayed even though I didn't know how. I didn't even know how to do the sign of the cross so I just went straight to telling him what I wanted to say. I asked for forgiveness for the mistakes I made, and I asked for guidance on whether to correct my mistakes.On the day of her father's fun
I love you Damon
"The paper of the first person found guilty of the murder of at least one hundred people and subjected to the death penalty this past week has been submitted to Malacañang. He is recognized as the first Filipino to be subjected to the death penalty after several years since the death penalty was repealed after the time of former president Ferdinand Marcos. The remains of the Serial Killer will be burned and placed in the north cemetery in Manila. While his lawyer is no longer answering the call to answer our questions. ."I turned off the television and then looked out the window of my room where I could see the children playing in the playground near where our house stands.I was stunned for a few minutes until I felt my tears flow again while not taking my eyes off the children playing.I slowly laughed while looking outside until my laughter turned into sobs that screamed at the pain I was feeling."Erelah." I slowly stopped crying and turned to the one who called me. Again I saw a
Courtroom
Erelah,How many more letters have I written to you? But no matter what I write and say on the papers I write, it is unlikely that you will read it because I know that what I write will not reach you nor will you know the things that I want to tell you.But I only want one thing to happen Erelah, that is for everything to be fine and to tell the truths that I have been hiding for a long time.Of all the lies I know, of all the lies I've done, there's only one thing I've never lied to, and that's to love you even when you're far away from me.Forgive me Erelah, forgive me.Damon.I don't know what is happening or why Damon rejected me, my heart is beating so fast, I can't rest. I feel like something bad is going to happen."Mr. Damon, you know for yourself what happened. As a friend, I want you to tell them the whole truth." The lawyer said. Damon looked at the lawyer, he took a deep breath then looked at me sadly before smiling and looking straight ahead again."I promised everyone her
The Hearing
Erelah.I'm not like other men who go out of their way to be with and respond to the women they love, but I'm one of those men who just looking at you from afar makes me very excited and my world is complete.People like you, and people like me were not blessed to be united and together for a long time, even if I wanted to be with you, there was nothing I could do. People like you are only for normal people like you. And someone like me deserves to disappear from this world. I am one of the people who longed to pass away and disappear from the surface of the world, but when you came, I became one of the people who lived a normal life in this world. But no matter how hard I try to cover up the real me, I know the truth will come out and come out, something I've been hoping for a long time to happen, to say all my mistakes in front of the majority and front of my young lady. SorryDamon.June 17, 2022The entire courtroom was silent as they looked at Damon sitting on the witness stand
Witness lll

I know I hurt you with what I said before but my true feelings are the opposite of what I said.I love you Erelah, I saw you for the first time the day you stopped me from jumping off the bridge. I don't know what's going through your mind why you stopped me but thank you, thank you for doing that I saw you, an angel with an angel name.It was only in a few years that I felt a strange feeling, a feeling where my heart was beating fast, another thing that rejuvenated me.If I have one wish, it's to hug you again, Erelah.Damon,May 3, 2022I took a deep breath and then looked at the court building where the second hearing in Damon's case will be held again.Today, the second hearing in Damon's case will be held again, yesterday after the first hearing, Gazer accompanied me home.He calms me down during our flight, he knows how excited I am to see Damon and talk to him but there's nothing we can do bec
