KJ, wanna eat lunch together? I asked him. We're already here at the school and it's our lunch break. Atasha. I'm busy. Let's talk later. After class, 5pm, at the nearest cafe. He said coldly and left me alone. I was hurt because He didn't even remember our anniversary. As a couple. I miss the old him. I sighed and went to a cafe and ate my lunch.

It was already after class and I straightly went to the bathroom and fixed my hair and did some make up. You can do this Atasha. He might have a surpirse for you thats why he acted like that. I said as I gaslight myself. "Most gaslight award of the year" goes to me I guess. Shit! 4:50 na! Sabi ko at umalis sa cr. Tumakbo ako papuntang cafe dahil medyo maraming tao ngayon since uwian na. Saktong 5pm ako nakadating sa cafe at nakita ko siyang nakaupo sa favorite spot namin sa cafe. Kung saan kami nag first date. He was busy reading Labor Law. A very academic achiever vibes. He was wearing blue polo shirt, with black pants..he is so majestic! He then asked me to sit down infront of him and order. "Order what you want" he said. Uhm okay, One Matcha latte please. I said. How about you KJ? Still same thing? I asked but he didn't reply so I assumed he still wants that. One Caramel Ma- i was not able to finish what I was saying when he interrupted me. One ice americano please. He  coldly. Oh.. You like that now. Okay i'll tske it as a note. I said and smiled at him. It was so silent, AWKWARD and it never happened to us before.

Hey so? So uhm.
I said and smiled at him. I open my bag and gave him a photoalbum of us and a watch. I hope you like it. I smiled. He looked at me confused. So what do u want to talk about? I asked. He sighed like he can't utter a word. Atasha, lets break up. He said that made my smile disappear. Huh? I asked. Why? I asked again. Tell me please! Am I controlling you like what they say? If that so, I'm willing to change. I said and stood up. Atasha.. It's not like that.. He said with his frustrated eyes. Then tell me! Please. I cried. You know that you're the only one my family trust. You're the only one I have when they're away! And you know that they are not that in good terms.
Tell me please. I pleaded. It's because... He hesitated. Because I don't love you anymore..he said that made me look at him who was almost crying. And I love someone else already. He added. No, no, please!! Tell me that its a joke. I said and kneeled at him. I don't care what people say about us right now. I'm not in my right mind. She's beautiful, smart, kind, caring. He described her.

Please stop. I said as I felt weak. My heart, is getting weak. So let me go. He said and looked at me in my eyes. I will only agree if you do me a favor. I said and looked at his eyes as well. What is it? He said. Be with me until graduation. I said. "How can I be sure that you won't do something." He said. I'm not like that. I said. Please. Just until graduation. I said. Fine. After that let me go. He said. Thank you, I said and bowed at him as if he was a god. And by the way, Happy valentines and Anniversary KJ. I love you my lifeline, till death. I whispered before i left the cafe. I know he heard that. How can he try to break up with me on our anniversary. How cliche it is.

"Now as my days with you are counted, let me love you to the fullest." "I love you, my lifeline." I said and started to walk on the road while raining.

"Heaven knows how much I love you, lifeline."
