“I’m sorry, Den. But I can’t be with you if you’re not mine” Yuan said.
“I am yours, Yuan! I AM YOURS!” Dennise sobbed.
“”Pero hindi buo. You have LA. I can’t be with you kung nandyan din siya. I am really sorry nut I’m cutting ties with you. Till next time, love” Yuan bid.
Lumabas siya agad siya sa unit na pinagtutuluyan nila ni Dennise. He got all his things.
The moment Yuan closed the door, Dennise tears rolled down from her eyes.
“What the hell did I do?!” she asked herself.
That night, Dennise cried herself to sleep.
--
Nagising si Dennise dahil sa ingay ng alarm clock niya. She lazily got off from her bed and dumiretso siya sa banyo.
As the water runs on her body, she remembered all the happenings last night. It brought the same pain. And her tears started to flow. It hurts her. Masakit dahil hindi niya man lang napigilan si Yuan na umalis. She was left dumbfounded last night. She didn’t find the courage to stop Yuan from stepping out of their unit.
She prepared herself. She went to school kahit na broken siya ngayon. She might see Yuan here, and ask him for a talk. Explain to him everything, na isang pagkakamali lang si LA.
Pagkakamaling ayaw na ayaw na niyang balikan.
As she walks on the hallway while reading her notes that she forgot to read last night because y’all know what happened, she accidentally bumped on someone.
“Oh shit! I’m sorry. I wasn’t looking sa daanan kasi. Sorry” Dennise apologized while picking up her notebook.
“It’s okay. It was somehow my fault also. I’m in hurry kasi eh. You okay, miss? Sige, alis na ako ah? Nagmamadali kasi ako. Sorry ulit. Bye!” the stranger said. But sa boses pa lang ng taong yun, alam ni Dennise na hindi siya stranger.
She immediately looked at the direction where the person ran, and there she saw a running Alexander Yuan Valdez. Her boyfriend. Oh, scratch that, her EX BOYFRIEND.
“What the hell?! He acted like he doesn’t know me?! May pa- miss miss pa siyang nalalaman? The fudge! I was his girlfriend for 5 fucking years!” Dennise hissed.
She can’t believe that Yuan didn’t recognize her, or he really chose not to recognize her. There’s a pang in her chest.
She promptly went to their classroom, and sat quietly. She doesn’t have any energy to talk to anyone. She shooed everyone who tried to talk to her.
Dennise day was hellish. She’s not the Dennise that everyone used to know.
Ang layo niya sa Dennise na kilala nila. After her class, she went to Fille’s clinic. She’ll ask her for some advice, that’s what she needs right now.
“Oh, Dennise, you’re here. How’s your day Den?” the doctor greeted her. It’s Fille Cainglet by the way.
“It wasn’t good, mama Fille. It was hellish” she said sadly.
Fille stood up and sat on the couch, beside Dennise.
“Why? What happened?” Fille asked worriedly.
“I lost him, Fille” Den sobs.
Fille’s brows furrowed.
“Him? Who?” Fille asked.
“Yuan. I lost Yuan” Dennise answered.
Fille then put the back of her hand on Dennise forehead, then to Den’s neck.
