"Fuck you! I wish I never met you! I regret meeting you!"

He was so angry, screaming like a mad man. My lips parted as I gasped painfully, covering my mouth with my trembling hand.

I couldn't process it! He didn't even give me a chance to respond or what dahil kaagad niyang binaba ang tawag.

Sa nanginginig na kamay, I turned my phone into power off.

Mabilis kong niligpit ang mga gamit, ibinalik ko sa drawer sa may bed side table ang phone ko saka ako sumalampak sa kama.

I pulled the thick duvet over me, covering myself protectively as I cried on my pillow.

Well, what did I expect? Sa lahat ba naman ng ginawa o sinabi ko sa kanya nitong nakaraan, hindi siya santo para hindi magalit sa akin!

Pero hindi ko akalain na ganito kasakit mapagsalitaan ng ganoon. Na sana hindi niya nalang ako nakilala. Na nagsisisi siya na nagkakilala kami! Parang pinapatay ako sa sakit!

Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko, I clutched on it so harshly like holding it like this will prevent it from shattering all over the place.

Bumigat ang aking paghinga habang umiiyak. Dama ko ang bawat punyal na bumabaon sa aking puso habang umaalingawngaw sa aking tenga ang mga salitang narinig ko sa kanya kanina.

It's really over for us...

Oh, don't be so dramatic, Hali! You brought this to yourself!

But it fucking hurts! It hurts so bad. So painfully.

I never knew he could ever say those words to me, straight from his mouth, with his overflowing raw feelings! Like an erupted volcano!

I fell asleep with all those depressing thoughts running inside my head. At kahit nang magising, iyon pa rin kaagad ang rumihestro sa isipan ko. I woke up tired and wary. Matamlay at walang kagana gana.

Pumasok ako ng banyo. My shoulders fell upon the mere sight of me in the mirror. I look like a zombie! I have dark eye circles! Swelling eyes! Messy hair! This is a freaking nightmare!

I didn't like how I appeared kaya mabilis akong nagtungo sa shower para maligo na. Nag ayos din ako. At kahit matamlay, I still took my time. Madalas kong nahuhuli ang sarili na natutulala habang gumagalaw, that's why everytime I snapped out of it, I just grunt and try to focus more.

While I was drying my hair with a dryer, nakuha ng kung sino sa pinto ang atensyon ko. The knocking was rather loud when I decided to turn the device off.

I sighed heavily as I stood up, feeling the impatience of the intruder. I went to the door, opening it lazily.

Si Viau ang bumungad sa akin, kunot ang noo at mukhang mauubusan na ng pasensya. His fist hung mid air, planning to knock again if I didn't open the door.

Tumaas ang kilay ko saka humalukipkip sa harap niya. I leaned my weight on the door frame.

"What's with the fuss?"

"Kanina pa ako kumakatok. Akala ko kung napaano ka na sa loob."

"Sorry, hindi ko narinig. Nagdadryer ako ng buhok."

He sighed in surrender.

"Well, can I come in?"

I looked over my shoulder to check if my room is decent enough to receive a guest inside. Wala kasi ako sa sarili kanina kaya posibleng magulo ang mga gamit sa vanity o sa kama ko. Lihim akong nakahinga ng maluwag nang mapansin na okay naman.
