Mikha's POV
"Why can't you listen to me?" I managed to say while sobbing a mess. I decided to confront her for the last time. If we ever fix things between us, I'll stay. But if she'll formally end us, I have to leave for some months to let my heart rest. Pagod na ako, pagod na akong maghabol sa kanya at itratong parang hangin lang tuwing makikita niya ako.
"Because I don't wanna get hurt anymore. I'm choosing myself this time, Mikhs. Ilang taon kitang inintindi, hindi ko na kaya." she said, she has this cold stares but her voice are shaking.
"So you chose him?" I asked.
She nodded.
"We can still be friends, right? Andito pa rin naman ako." she managed to tell me.
I wanted to burst. I wanted to curse. I wanted my world to end. I nodded and without another word, I turned my back on her.
I was already a few meters away when I decided to look back, "Aiah?" I called out and she looked at me.
This time, she's crying like a lost kid. Like someone picked on her.
"Be happy. For me." I smiled but a tear escaped from my eyes. "Goodbye, Aiah. I will always remember you." I turned around and never looked back from the place that gave me so much to remember and ache for.
I can feel my chest tighten and my insides churn. The ground is cracking open and I just wanted it to eat all of me. Take me out of this cruel, painful world. I closed my eyes and bit my lips.
When will all this pain be over? When will I be happy again? When?
Yeah great. You'll die alone. A voice inside my head told me.
What? Why? I asked.
Because obviously, it will always be her. It answered. 'Yes. It will always be her. Together with the scars and the unending cuts inflicted on my poor heart.'
