To live to love.
That was a challenge for Athena Dizon knowing that her life might not have the same length with Kenji Delos Reyes, a man who loves her, chooses her and treats her like the school queen even if it only started as a "pretend", a scheme to make Kenji's ex-girlfriend Abigail come back to him. Eventually they ended up loving each other like they were meant to in the first place.
A woman with a limited time and a limited things she could do, was the biggest draw back for Athena not to go and have a step forward, but she founds an inspiration from Kenji to continue life. It was only then that she has to sacrifice that inspiration for the sake of another person who has the same needs as with her, She gave up Kenji and saved all of their memories up to day they met again.
I never expected for a Filipino film to achieve that kind of mood that they could give to the viewers. I watched the movie with my best friends who can cry an hour earlier before the tear jerker comes up. This time, I secretly found myself in one of the seat of the cinema crying my balls out. I realized unconsciously I had put myself in the same situation of Athena because of my RHD. To be constricted from the things you really wanted to do and the things you wanted to have is not an easy task, to give up the person you love is the biggest pain the sickness can give you. The movie gave us tears we didn't expect. Drops from the part of being a child to a Father, drops from being a family to an aunt, drops from loving someone selflessly. It struck different areas of our heart where it hurts the most. I would give the movie a big thumbs up because it does not only surprises but it had surpasses the quality of movie we needed. They had put great effort to every little detail that the story must have which maybe had given the viewers the responsibility to enjoy every moment with it.
Some say if they were to be Athena, they wouldn't leave Kenji for Abigail, but as for me, I would do the same exact thing. All I hold unto was his memory and that will keep me alive. A picture of him and me happy playing over and over again in my thoughts will be enough.
To all the people I have inside my heart, you are the reason I am still alive.
