"I mean... a beautiful smile from that special someone definitely gives us the energy boost that we need after a long day, right? Especially when you're fully aware that the smile was meant for you all along." 😃😊☺️

"It would be nice if we'll continue to be there for each other. No matter what happens, whatever comes our way, as long as we hold on together and not let go, the strength that we have could be more than enough for us to move forward with our heds held high..."

"I just want to feel better even when my days would tell me there isn't a reason to be. No matter how long the day would go, that smile you'd show as we spend time together makes me forget everything. Your smile that showed such strength still gives me the energy that I know I can use to help us pull through together in our lives..."

"Kayla, wait!"

Pero hindi niya pinakinggan iyon. Hindi siya nagpapigil at nagpatuloy lang sa pagtakbo patungo sa isang lugar na alam niyang magagamit niya para maisagawa ang ipinaplano niya. But it seemed that this person chasing after her wasn't really going to let her go just like that. Nararamdaman niya na patuloy itong nakasunod sa kanya.

Siyempre pa, ikinainis niya iyon. Pero nagpatuloy lang siya sa pagtakbo. Kaunting distansya na lang ang kailangan niyang takbuhin para makarating sa pakay niyang lugar.

Ang pinakamalaking magkambal na mga puno ng acacia sa bayan ng Sagovarre.

And now she knew — it was the portal that the Guardians like Ianro had used to get to her world.

"Everything around me would give me so much anxiety that at times, I think I was going crazy. But my heart remained the same. I can feel that whenever I'd look at you. The distance might be long right now, but I know what I feel. I don't know how I'd be able to do it. And yet, I'm sure I still want you to know this..."
