Her fingers continuously tapped and played against the hospital bed's side rails, there's something in her that wants to escape, even for just a second. It feels as if her bubble filled with happiness, fulfillment and contentment had been replaced with remorse and regret.Napaluha si Zarah ng muli nyang hawakan ang kanyang kaliwang dibdib. A gauze protected the stitch from infection, it was still bloody and it still ached. But nothing pained her more than being betrayed by the man that she loves, the man who promised her his love.What she thought was a promise of forever... was now something far fetched from the truth.In the end...
