"Friend? Nag aayos ka para sa kanya, tapos friend mo lang? Friends lang kayo? Irene naman! Ikaw naman gumagawa ng pag aawayan natin ehh. Sinasabi ko sayo ng paulit ulit. Ayoko nga sa lalaki na yun! Pinapa punta mo pa sa bahay ng paulit ulit! Are you doing this on purpose? Can you not see king sino yung sinasaktan mo?"
'Greggy! Ang unreasonable mo naman. Wala naman ginagawa na masama yung tao ahh. Bakit ganyan ka?'
"Asawa mo ako ehh! Mas mahalaga pa sayo kung ano feelings nung friend mo? He may be yours, but he's not my friend. He is not my friend, Irene."
'Yeah? Maybe Greggy. But I'm not your wife. I was never your wife.'
"Damn right you are not! Fuck! That's your defense? Hindi naman kita asawa? Kaya ano? Bawal ako mag sabi ng kung ano ayoko na ginagawa mo? Because in theory, wala naman akong karapatan. Tama? Well yeah! Maybe that's the reason why we are not yet married! Because ikaw sa sarili mo, you aren't even sure kung ako ba yung gusto mo!"

IRENE's POV:
I may have pushed Greggy's patience to its end but I cannot believe hearing all of these things from him. Against my better judgment, I closed the gap between us and I started hitting his chest. I couldn't care less if I am hurting him physically but that's just too much.
"Take it back. Take it back, Greggy! Just take it back! Bawiin mo yung sinabi mo."
'No. Which part of what I said is not true? Ang simple simple ng pakiusap ko sayo ahh, ayaw mo gawin. Why? Do you like him? Friends ha? Dyan rin naman kayo nag simula ni Patrick diba? Is this going to be another-'
I slapped Greggy's face leaving both of us dumbfounded. I left him alone inside our room. I cannot stand to be in the same room with him right now.
