"Babe, kailangan ko ng paliwanag mo, please. Alam kong hindi mo hilig ang magpaliwanag pero, Icy... Kailangan ko 'yon ngayon."

Pareho kaming nakaupo ngayon sa loob ng kotse. The windows were tinted, so people won't see us here.

I know I didn't cheat on him but I couldn't stop but to blame myself. Umiiyak siya ngayon nang dahil sa akin. He have problems to handle, at dumagdag pa talaga ako.

Bakit ba ako hinila ng lalaking iyon? Bakit niya ako niyakap? Bakit ginugulo niya pa rin kami? Why he doesn't want us to be happy together?

"Demi..." I uttered. "He texted me that night when I was with you."

"Anong sinabi niya sa 'yo?"

I showed him the conversation, so he could read the exact words David have told me.

"Closure?" he chuckled sarcastically. "Tanginang David 'yan!" he cursed.

I lowered my head. He's really mad right now. I could even see the nerves all over his arms. He was harshly gripping on the stirring wheel.

"Bakit ka naman pumayag makipagkita sa kaniya?" he asked.

Hindi ako agad nakasagot kaya nagsalita siyang muli. "Tell me..." he muttered. "Do you still like him? Hmm?" He lowered his head so his eyes could meet mine.

"No, I don't."

Why would I like my rapist, anyway?

"Bakit ka nakipagkita sa kaniya kung hindi?"

"Please, let's talk about it when you're calm."

I can't risk it. Ayaw kong mag-away kami. Natatakot ako at baka sa sobrang init ng ulo niya ay makipaghiwalay siya sa akin.

"Paano ako magiging kalmado, huh? He want you back and now he's making move to steal my girlfriend from me! Tell me, Icy, how can I calm down?"

A tear fell from my eye.

"No one can steal me from you," I whispered.

"Nanghihingi siya ng closure sa relasyon ninyong matagal nang tapos," hindi makapaniwalang saad niya.

"Nagtataka ako kung bakit ka pa pumunta roon. Bakit, kailangan mo rin ba ng closure? Hindi ka pa rin ba moved on sa kaniya, huh, Icy?"

Gusto kong ipagtanggol ang sarili ko. I want to speak up for myself because it felt like he's accusing me. Hindi ko siya hahayaang maging boyfriend ko kung hindi pa ako tapos magmahal ng iba.

"Are you done now?"  I asked softly. I just want him to calm down first so I could finally explain. Ang init ng ulo niya at ayoko nang sabayan pa.

He held his head out of frustration. He heaved a sighed as if he was controlling his anger. I waited for him 'till he finally calm down.

Natahimik kaming pareho.

I glanced at him. Hindi na mukhang galit ang mga mata niya. His eyebrows were resting on his forehead, looking more calm now.

He turned on the engine and drove the car.

I was just watching him. His jaw was clenched. He looks hot whenever he's serious but I like it more when he's smiling.

Muli ko na lang ibinalik ang tingin ko sa bintana. Pinapanood ko ang daan at ang mga sasakyan na nadadaanan namin.

"Kain na muna tayo," he said.

I took a glance of him. "Okay.." I nodded.

I took out my phone while waiting for our order. I texted Idy. I told her everything that happened earlier. Mabuti na lang pala at hindi pa siya nakakaalis sa kanila.
