It feels like my heart was captivated by prick of fences, I'm terrified, confuse and hurting. The gleam of sun refused to attack my intense glare towards the person standing boredly infront of me.




"I don't want to believe what I heard, Isles." Closing my fist, trying to hold my tense as hopes rosing in my chest, "I want to believe anything you say." ...even if it means, you have to lie for me.





Kahit kasinungalingan lang. Kaya kong tanggapin, kaya kong maniwala, I want to hear him lie, I'm not ready to hear the truth and I don't mind acting stupid.



Kumunot lamang ang noo niya, "What do you mean?" Hindi ko pinansin ang nakapamulsa niyang postura at mataas ang kompyansang tumitig saakin.



Mariin akong napalunok, "I-I heard you have a girlfriend." Mapakla akong tumawa, "It's not true, right?"




My chest is throbbing, the emotion I felt right now is mixed with hurricane. This is unusual, this is my first time wanting someone badly and I don't care if it hurts.



"Its true." he uttered coldly that made me freeze. "Why do you ask?"




Hindi ako makapaniwala. After what happened to us? Wala lang ba yon sakanya? It means so much to me, I valued myself more than anyone and he had the guts to talk like this!?




"I-Isles," tinitigan ko sya sa mga mata, he's just casually staring back and didn't mind my tense at all. "I-I like you." I confessed the truth, "S-something happened between us, how can you act like its nothing?" Trying to calm myself, I felt a bomb inside going to explode for nervousness and grief.




He chuckles before messing his hair, unti-unti ng uminit ang mga mata ko sa napagmasdan. Tila'y alam ko na ang kahihinatnan ng kabobohan ko dahil sakanya, I shouldn't have expect too much.




"I'm sorry Artemis, I didn't know you liked me." He sounds surprise like what I said is unexpected, "I thought we're just fucking?" napakamot sya sa batok bago kumunot ang noo, "A-are you expecting more than that? I mean, you know? Relationship?"




My mouth slightly hang, what did I just heard?




Napahawak ako sa sariling mga kamay nang bigla iyong nanginig kasabay ng aking tuhod, I tried to stop my tears and stare at him confidently... I didn't know he's this cruel... I didn't know it will hurt this bad. I didnt know... I had no idea.



"N-No!" Peke akong ngumiti, "I j-just thought y-you'll feel the same way." Agad kong pinahiran ang kumawalang luha at tumawa, "Haha, sorry." I wiped my cheeks again, "L-let's forget about it."



Lalampasan ko na sana sya ngunit hinawakan niya ang aking magkabilang balikat, a worried expression flashed on his face as he observe me.



"Belle.. I'm sorry." Napatungo ako, is that it? "I'm really sorry." Hinigit niya ako at niyakap.



Nag-urungan ang mga luha ko sa pagkakataong to. I realize he didn't deserve someone like me, he didn't deserve my tears and every single thing about me. Who does he think he is for doing this to me!? He is an asshole!




Nagpumiglas ako sa pagkakahawak niya, though my hands are shivering I couldn't stop my hand to slap his face. His mouth hang while I just raised an eyebrow, "Lets not see each other again, Zayn." Matalim ang aking mga titig habang hindi sya makapaniwala.
