CHANGE FORTY - FIVE : THE ANSWERS.

Tine's POV :

I was staring at her, ngayon lang kami nagka ganto. Ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob sabihin sa kanya pero I never imagined na ganto pala kasakit yon. Right now, her pain reflects mine.

"Why?" She ask.

I just can't find the right words to say, can't find the right words that won't hurt her. Humigpit ung hawak ko sa kamay niya, ghad I'm so sorry Sab.

"Don't jump into conclusions, okay? Hear me out. You need to listen, Sab." I breathe pero lalo lang ata akong nahirapang huminga. "I never wanted to end this way, ie - explain ko sayo lahat okay? Just listen." Tears fall from her eyes kaya napapikit ako.

"We lied Sab, I lied to you and you don't know how sorry I am but it's for your own good. We pretended to be lovers, Nathan and Me para malayo ka sa gulo. Believe me it was hard, ayokong gawin namin yon pero that's the only way." I said and I can feel my lips tremble.

"Lies?" She nods. "Does that mean, you and Jhano are also pretending?"

And there was a minute of silence.

I shook my head, "No Sab, totoo yung samin ni Jhano." I saw something flicker in her eyes, tumingin siya sa right side niya and there I saw tears streaming down her cheeks. It hurts me kasi hindi ko na control ung emotions ko.

Of course, I blame myself for that. I'm one of the reasons why she's in pain.

"I'm in love with Jhano, guys." Nabitawan ko ung tray na hawak hawak ko. I felt something wrong in my chest when I heard what Sabby just said. Napa singhap ako at napaupo sa sahig habang nakatitig sa mga nabasag na baso.

I felt something inside of me breaking, I held my chest. How can I be affected? I'm not in love with him anymore but why am I acting like this?

I heard Lora shouts asking me if I'm okay. Am I okay? I guess not but I can't let them know kaya ngumiti ako kahit hindi nila nakikita and told them that I am okay. Pero nagulat ako ng makita ko si Sab sa harapan ko, I didn't notice her in the first place.

"Tine are you okay?" She ask, napatitig ako sa kanya, she deserves to be happy. And what makes her happy, I'm happy. But why do we need to feel this kind of pain? Ngumiti ako and then again, I said 'I'm fine.'

"Wow. That's really something huh?" Sabi niya habang hindi makapaniwalang tumingin saming lahat. "How do you manage to do this stuffs? Sakit ah." She smiles sarcastically.
