CHAPTER 1

"I'm really sorry, Gael..."

My lips parted as I blinked twiced. I'm confused when I saw Elaine—my girlfriend and this... Guy. She always told me before that this guy and her 'are just friends'. But on what I just saw right now? They don't look like friends.

Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.

Are we going to break up? Like, for real this time? Am I finally going to be free from this noose that she tied around my neck?!

"Are you happy?" I asked her as we were sitting on the patio of their house. Louis—the guy she's with earlier was inside.

She smiled at me and nodded. "Yes."

I sat there with my impassive face. I didn't know what to react. But I know I was happy. I'm happy she's happy and I'm happy if we're finally gonna break up.

I met her when I was a freshman. She flirted with me for fun and I also did the same thing. It was fun at the beginning. I mean, we're just flirting with each other but sometimes I see her with other guys so I thought what we have wasn't really serious... But then suddenly... She was serious.

Sinabi ko sa kaniya na wala akong oras magkaroon ng girlfriend. Mahirap pala mag-medtech lalo na kung hindi mo naman minahal 'yung science noong high school ka. Puro accounting ako no'n dati sa ABM. Kung alam ko lang na gugustuhin ko palang pumasok sa medical field, edi sana nag STEM na lang ako.

I never really expected any of that to happen—to choose medtech as my course in college. My feelings towards this high school ex girlfriend of mine made me do it. She said she wanted to become a doctor because her mom wanted her to. I said, okay I'll just support her... But I never said that I'll also want to be in that field.

When we broke up, I started watching a lot of medical dramas—American or Korean. I can't believe I liked it. And I can't believe I'd want to be like them just for her Mother to like me.

Gusto naman ako ng Mama niya. Bilang kaibigan nga lang ng kapatid niya at hindi bilang boyfriend niya. Her mom never knew about us... But she was just fifteen that time. And so, we broke up.

But it doesn't matter anymore about the main reason why I chose medtech. I like it now. I'm really fascinated. I have no plans on going to med school, but I'm sure my parents would want to. I dropped being a part of the business world their in and I'm pretty sure they'd love to if ever I'll go to med school.

That whole thing will always be funny to me. For a girl?! For a girl I met in high school?! For a girl I met when I was seventeen years old?!

Well... I was only seventeen. I didn't know anything but I know I liked her. So much.

My hands were on the steering wheel. Napatingin ako sa labas. Napangiti ako nang makita si Elaine pati 'yung bago niya na masaya.

Elaine looks like a normal person when she's happy... But when she's not? That is when I have to be careful of my words and actions towards her. Because one wrong move... She doesn't even have to think twice wether she want's to end her life or no.

She always threatened me that she'll hurt herself of kill herself if I left her. Or just make stories that'll ruin my reputation.

I don't really love-love her. But I cared for her.

And I thought she'll never do it. But when I finally left her house... I got a call from her mom saying that she's in a hospital.
