    "Anak, hindi ba't parang masyado naman ata kayong nagmamadali ni Amhara?" 
    I continue putting my clothes inside my luggage, not minding what my mother is talking about. 
    Nagmamadali?
    Hindi ko masisikmurang ikasal sa iba ang girlfriend ko. I'm so fucking mad after hearing her conversation with her abusive father. Ilang taon na lumipas hindi parin nagbago ang isang yun? Gano'n parin pananaw niya sa buhay? 
    "Pa'no pangarap mo?! Iiwan mo nalang 'to?! Hindi ka ba nag-iisip?!" Si Catrina. She's here in my apartment because I told her about my plan to run away with Tamg. Nang malaman ito, nagmamadali niya akong pinuntahan. 
    "Tita! Pigilan mo siya!" Sabi niya pa kay mama. 
    "Hindi naman sa tutol ako, anak ha.. pero tama si Catrina. Masyado pang maaga para lumayo. Pupuwede niyo naman 'yang gawin sa susunod. Kapag kaya niyo na pareho tumayo sa sarili niyong mga paa." 
    They know nothing about the truth, kaya nila nasasabi ang mga 'yan. 
    I did not respond and just continued on with what I was doing. Kailangan ready ako, nandito na ba lahat ng gamit ko sa loob? Maramirami narin ang naipon ko para sa tatlong buwan. After that, I will find a job to pay for our expenses. We're both graduates of college, madali nalang gawin yun. 
    "Kaori! Makinig ka naman! Ano ba?!" Sinubukang hilain ni Catrina ang maleta palayo saakin. 
    "Stop," 
    "Hindi ka nag-iisip! Iiwan mo nalang basta-basta yung banda mo?! Pa'no sila Khairo, ha?! Pa'no 'yang pangarap mo?!" 
    "My dream is to be with Tamg."
    "What the fuck..." She breathes heavily. Hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. "Malala ka na!" 
    "Give me back my luggage," 
    "No! Pag-isipan mo munang mabuti 'yang mga desisyon mo! Naririnig mo ba sinasabi mo ngayon?! Yung totoo, Kaori?! Anong nangyayari sa'yo?!" 
    I ignored her and just pulled my luggage back. Nang mahawakan ito, nagpunta ako kay mama para yakapin siyang mahigpit. 
    "I'll message you once when I'm with her." 
    "Kaori.. anak.." She wipes her tears away while shaking her head. "Sigurado ka na ba...?" 
    I nodded. 
    "Bullshit! Hindi ka nag-iisip!" 
    "Shut the fuck up, Catrina!" I give her a threatening look, and her face grows a pained expression. I continued. "What are you doing here anyway?" 
    Her lips trembled. 
    "Go away, Catrina. You're just bothering me-" 
    "I'm here because I'm worried of you!" 
    "You don't have to." Tinulak ko palayo ang kamay niya. "I know what I'm doing. So I suggest you stop being a burden and don't interfere with my decision." 
    "Pero-" 
    I left the room before she finished speaking. 
    "Kaori! Ano ba?! Mag-isip ka naman! Huwag puro puso ang gamitin mo! Sa tingin mo saan kayo pupulutin kapag lumayo kayo ngayon?! Mag-isip ka nga!" 
    I know I'm selfish. 
    But I need to be selfish in order to save Tamg. Hindi ako papayag na ikasal siya sa iba. Kahit na fiancé niya palang yun... Mas mabuti na ang maaga. I want to avoid dramas.
