Chapter 1

Sage POV

Ang sakit, ang sakit mong mahalin.

The last thing I remember before a knock on my door greeted me.

"Sage?"

"Gising ka na ba?"

I heard Noah's soft voice calling me, but I couldn't respond at all. Because my head hurts so much. Maybe because I was crying too much, and I drank alcohol pa last night.

I never imagined I would be so hurt by loving someone I thought would be my partner for the rest of my life. I may be hurt but I will always try to understand the situation. Kahit sobrang sakit ng mga nangyayare iintindihin ko pa din.' Kung saan nanggagaling ang mga tao.

"Sage, pasok ako ha?" she asked again

Narinig ko ang pagbubukas ng aking pintuan kaya hinayaan ko na lamang ito. I couldn't talk and I didn't have the energy either. Naramdaman ko nalang na may umupo sa gilid ng kama ko, kaya dahan dahan din akong bumangon.

"I'm sorry I had to check on you since you drank a lot of alcohol last night. I'm just worried, Love." she said while helping me to get up and drink the water na dinala niya.

"Rowan had to go to the hospital since may work siya ngayon, kaya wala siya but she made you some soup for your hangover."

"I love you, Sage, so get up and fix yourself. Nandito pa kami ni Rowan." she continued

I became vulnerable after Lucas broke up with me. I just couldn't understand why he broke up with me.

Thinking too much made me drink too much alcohol. Hindi ako umiinom but our break up made me do things I never thought I would do.

"Thanks Noah, paano nalang ako kung wala kayo. I'm so messed up." I said while crying

Kaya niyakap niya ako habang hinahagod ang likod ko. I couldn't move properly since I am really hurt, and I don't know what to do anymore.

Noah and Rowan have been my best friend since we were in high school. Ever since we live na in the same roof kaya kapag may mga ganitong ganap eh may mga kasama at mag-aalaga sa amin.

But now my situation is too much, I am so devastated from what just happened last night. I couldn't digest everything. From my last break up noong college pa ako hindi naman ako naging ganito na lulunurin ang sarili sa alak.

I am so hurt that I lose my control. I even fought with one of the customers at the bar na pinuntahan namin, which is not my branding because I built myself as a civil woman. As much as possible hindi ako makikipag away and I will always try to solve the problem with decency.

My boyfriend or should I say my ex is someone who can give the princess treatment that every woman deserves. I loved him so much. That I didn't notice, na ako lang pala ang nagmamahal sa aming dalawa.

"I will let you feel all the pain Sage, I will be downstairs lang. Don't worry I will check you from time to time." Noah said before leaving my room

Pagkalabas ni Noah ay humiga na ulit ako. I don't want to get up.

I didn't expect that we would end up this way.

Was I too confident that I didn't notice na hindi na maayos ang relasyon naming dalawa? Or am I just contented with his treatment?

It was convenient for me not to notice it was just an act of keeping up with my standards.

He treated me right because that is what he thinks is right.

Ang daya mo, Ang daya daya mo naman Lucas.
