"J-Jen..." agad na bumungad sa kaniya ang palad ko ng buksan niya ang pinto ng condo niya.
"H-how dare you!" dinuro ko siya habang hindi inaalis ang masamang tingin sa kaniya. I'm literally crying right now. I even saw the comments of the people who's watching the live for pete's sake!
Umawang ang labi niya dahil sa gulat. Nakita ko kung paanong nasaktan ang mga mata niya pero wala akong pake. Wala na akong pake dahil sinira niya na ang boyfriend ko!
Napalunok na lamang siya bago tumingin sa akin, "Jen... let's talk inside first..."
"Fuck you, Hans! I'm fucking mad at you right now! How dare you to do that, huh? How dare you to say those lies in front of the national TV?!"
"Jen, let's talk inside..." he tried to touch me but I took my hands away.
"Don't you ever touch me!"
"Fuck, Jen! Yes. I did that! But can you blame me? I just want to get you out of this mess! I don't want to see you struggling because of this."
"You don't care!"
"Of course, I cared! How many times do I have to tell you that I'm still in love with you? That I'll do everything to protect you?"
I shook my head. "No. Ang kapal ng mukha mo." mariin kong sabi.
"I just want to save you–"
"No, you're just making it more hard for me, Hans!"
"Because you're always thinking about that guy, first!"
"And what do you care? I love him and I will do everything for that you-so-called guy!"
Hindi siya makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. Bakas sa kaniyang mukha na nasaktan siya sa mga sinabi ko, "Y-you're out of your mind, Jen..."
"And so you are, Hans. You don't have the rights to tell me what to do. Magsasalita na ko eh, tapos nakisali ka pa!"
"Then what will you're going to say?" he said seriously.
"I said, you don't care! You don't care what will I do to my life. You don't care to what will I say nor what will I do in front of those people. Because you're out of this! Hindi ka kasama dito kaya huwag kang makisali." I sighed. Pinunasan ko ang luha ko. Masiyado ng mabigat ang pakiramdam ko. "You know what, Hans? I don't want to hurt you with my words and actions. But after what you did? I want to curse you, slap you, and punch you real hard! You jerk! Huwag na huwag ka ng makikialam sa buhay ko." mariin ko siya ng tinignan bago padarag na umalis sa lugar na iyon.
Buong byahe papunta sa bahay ay umiiyak lang ako. Gulong-gulo na ko. Nakaplano na 'yung dapat kong gawin tapos nangyari pa 'to. Ano ba naman! Ayos lang sana kung ako lang e. Pero shit! Si Jiu 'yun e! Ni hindi nga no'n deserve na tawagin ng kung anu-ano tapos sisiraan pa niya.
Alam kong ngayon ay marami ng nagbabato sa kaniya ng masasakit na salita. Kinakampihan na nila ko ngayon habang sinisira si Jiu. Hindi ko 'to kayang matagalan. Ni hindi ko kayang magbukas ng internet dahil ayokong mabasa ang mga naroroon. He doesn't deserve this.
My fists clenched more when I saw the media in front of my house. Shit, I'm done with this day. Agad silang hinarang ng mga guards para makadaan kami pero hindi sila nagpapatinag, kinakatok pa nila ang kotseng sinasakyan ko. Mabuti na lamang at dumating na ang mga aawat sa kanila. Alam kong tinawagan na ito nila Manang.
Ilang minuto pa kaming nagtiis bago tuluyang nakatawid sa kanila. Mabilis akong pinapasok nila Manang ng makapasok kami ng mansion.
"Jeena, anak, ayos ka lang ba?" nag-aalalang sabi sa akin ni manang.
