Letting go doesn''t mean you stop caring. It means you stop trying to force others to. ---- Anonymous

    Letting go means we choose to use the lessons that the person and experience had to teach us and we "let go" of the need to control the outcome, or try to change what has already happened, or use it to ruminate in regret or anger. Louie knew all about this, he already let go of the woman whom he had loved, who he had a promise, but he didn''t intend to keep, and the mother of his children. But letting go doesn''t mean he can''t be there for them, rather he will always be there in the shadow, giving love, care, protection, and even support to them.??

    "Louie, don''t be embarrassed by your current situation, the situation that we are having right now. So many people, cover up their situations with smiles and filters, just like what I did when we are still married. Just make a plan, we will make a plan for us to have an easy way out with Sofia''s schemes, cut off distractions, and stay focused. You''ll make it, we will make it, I know, I know you can do it, I''ll trust you on this time" Luna suddenly blurted out in front of everyone. Louie was very astonished and please with what he had heard, and now that Luna is now beginning to trust him. He will do anything and everything this time, he will certainly help her so that she will be safe from Sofia''s claws.

    Louie just hopes that his own perception can change their current situation because whatever happens his own perception will be a make or break that will decide how he will feel in a certain situation being with Sofia especially now that he already knows how two-faced bitch Sofia is. "Luna, I will and can pretend in front of Sofia. But for your safety, I can''t let her live at Villa 7. Your safety comes first, although you had so many people protecting you, I can''t still trust her, especially when it comes to you," says Louie while looking at Luna with full of affection.

    For Louie, he may often come across situations when he feels things didn''t happen the way he expected nor the way they should be right now. He was really heartbroken, tired, and become distressed because what he sees right now is only disappointments in the situation that he was still entangled with Sofia, and even worst even though he wants to kill her, he can''t do it yet --- not yet. Every situation has another aspect to it. It didn''t happen the way he wants it, because life wanted him to experience something else, it could have been worse than what it is or it was a time life wanted him to find his real strengths and even weakness, even the threats that may occur that keeps on playing on his mind. If or maybe he sees a positive in every situation, he may find himself coping up with every situation very easily. Have a positive mindset even in the most difficult times. It won''t change that situation, but it will change the way he may feel about it.

    City A,

    Sofia and Suzy''s apartment was in a mess. Sofia has thrown her tantrums once again since the telecast of what happened at the City Wise. She just finished watching how happy Louie was while dancing with Luna and when he has sung his songs for Luna. She knew about the song "The Promise", she knew that it was Louie''s unspoken words of Luna. Suzy can''t stop her daughter from bringing havoc inside their house. She can''t help but vomit from the smell that Sofia''s body was emitting out. It seems that Sofia can''t smell it or she just got used to it now.

    Sofia shouted as she vented out all her frustrations on the vases that she could reach. "Mom! Why is Louie still keeping on hurting me! Why can''t he imagine that my world revolves around him, I can''t let him go! I will never let him go. Louie, he is my everything Mom, he is my hopes and my dreams" Sofia cried as she speaks these words. She remembered the day they got married, she sang the song "you are my everything by the Calloway" (youtube.com/watch?v=BMRvgSP4ZA4). It was her unspoken words for Louie, and it was really what her heart wants to say to Louie.

    "I swear to God, Mom, I will fight for what is mine, Louie is mine! If he will come back to me and ask for forgiveness and begs me that he wants me back I will accept him. We can start all over again mom" Sofia proudly says as she wipes her tears on her face. Suzy lets out a deep sigh, she knew that her daughter had gone mad this time. Louie is her only hope for Sofia to be back to her senses. Louie is the medicine of Sofia''s heartache that she is having right now. She as a mother knew how painful it is, especially right now that even James seems doesn''t care about them, about her. One of her greatest fears also was and if James got time and opportunity to be with Lily. It will be her end, even her daughter''s life can''t be saved from James'' wrath this time.

    If Louie will come back to me, I will tell him that he hurt me deeply, but I know that I could have hurt him too, I didn''t know that I was already hurting him very deeply. But he could have told me so that we can fix it right after Chen''s annual party. He could have just told me what was going on in his mind and divorce is not the answer. I know that leaving me with no worries at all because he was too afraid that I can''t handle such a heartbreak. That I was the most impossible person, not to understand. These were the thoughts of Sofia that she always chant on her mind. She sometimes smiles after saying these words to herself.

    Sofia imagines that she was talking to Louie as she gazes at Louie''s picture on her phone. "My Love, you could have been the better man— I could have been more understanding if only you''ve helped me prepare myself for what was going to be my nightmare. I could have practiced living in impractical despair. How did it go? When did it happen? Why can''t you see me now like I was the prettiest girl in your life? Why was it easy for you to forget our love story? Why did you shower me with so much hate now that you got to know my darkest past? I see. I see, you couldn''t care less to elaborate. But I love you so much and I will forgive you, just come back to me My Love" Sofia utters but Suzy heard everything. The sadness in her daughter''s voice was like a stabbing wound on her heart.

    For Suzy, it is very difficult, their situation right now is very difficult. Letting things go, releasing them, and even detaching yourself from them is not and will never be in Sofia''s plans. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes it''s either you win it and/or sometimes you lose it. She doesn''t expect anything in return to be just like what they were in the past, she also doesn''t expect her past efforts to be appreciated, all her sacrifices, all her love to be understood by Louie. It is the only wish and hope and even prayed that Louie will always have an open mind and heart when it comes to her.

    Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationsh.i.p.s that are broken off in an unexpected way, trust that has been shattered into pieces, work that is promised but there is no starting date and decisions that are always put off waiting for the "ideal moment." Before a new chapter is begun to her and Louie''s love story, the old one has to be finished: she already told her that what has passed will never come back.

    "Is this my retribution for ruining Lily and Edward?! Is this my karma for my sins towards Lily and Luna? This punishment is way too much!" Suzy shouted as she looks up into the sky as if asking God for questions that she already know the answers to.
