(Jefferson's POV)

"K-Keetha? Oh, bakit ka nandito?" sabi ko habang nalingon dun sa nagsalita.

"Ahh, napapasyal lang ako dito t-tapos nakita kita kaya nilapitan kita." sabi niya sabay upo sa tabi ko. She seemed nervous. She breathes deeply.

"S-So anong problema? Kanina ka pa kasi buntong hininga nang buntong hininga dyan." tanong niya.

"Ahh kasi I think I've lost someone's trust." naiilang ako sa tingin niya lalo na sa presence niya.

"Whose trust?" nakatingin pa din siya sakin which makes me sweat. Di ako sanay na tinitignan niya ako.

"Someone special." hangga't maaari eh tinitipid ko yung mga sinasabi ko sa kanya.

"So you've found someone special?" this time, inalis niya yung tingin niya sakin and it made me feel relieved.

"She's very special for me more than anyone could know. She's more than a family."

"What makes her so special to the point na maging malungkot ka?" she looked at me again. That's my weakness, her looks.

"I dont know either." was my reply.

"What makes her so special for you to leave me?" I saw her glaring at me.

This time, hinawakan niya ang braso ko nang mahigpit.

"Tell me Josh! Who is she? Gusto ko siyang makilala para malaman ko kung bakit mo ako pinagpalit sa kanya! We've been 2 years in relationship tapos nung dumating yan, you left me!" she's crying now.

"Dont take that topic up. Hindi siya yung dahilan. A--"

"Ayaw mo lang akong saktan? You've done the same thing!"

"Alam mo Keetha? Ginawa ko yun para sayo. Now, if you dont get it, di ko na kasalanan yun." tumayo na ako para makaalis na sa situation na to.

"Tell me! Did you really loved me?" she shouted.

"Yes! I did! Kaya nga kita nilet-go para hindi ka na masaktan. Ayaw sakin ng pamilya mo right? Dahil basagulero ako nun. Maraming humahabol sakin na pwede kang patayin. Kung ung mga kabarkada ko ngang close sakin pinatay nila ikaw pa kaya. Mahal na mahal kita kaya ko ginawa yun. Now, if you dont understand what I've done months ago, that's your problem." sabi ko tapos umalis na ako. I left her standing there.

"W-Wait! Did you say my parents? Pero botong-boto sila sayo nun!" tumakbo siya para makasabay sakin.

"Not only your parents. Your whole family."

"We can work it out again. Sasama ako sayo! Kahit itanan mo na ako. Wala akong pakielam." she looked at me which made me stop.

"Are you out of your mind?! Ganyan ka na ba kadesperado ha? I wont risk your life and mine just to give you your happiness. Wag kang masyadong makasarili." I gave her a furious look.

"Alam mo kung anong masakit? I've given you alot of chances pero ngayon, di mo man lang ako mabigyan kahit isa."

"Keetha, hindi yun yung main reason kaya ako nakipagbreak sayo.  The thing is may kasalanan ka sakin."
