Part 5: How to Break Up with My Girlfriend?

Hera's POV

I left early sa Batangas since I still couldn't understand what I've heard from the girls kagabi.

I know na lasing sila and all of those things na sinabi nila could just be non-sense pero why do I feel hurt? Is it true ba na hindi na talaga ako mahal ni Raya? If it is, then lahat lang ba ng nangyayari samin within these past weeks pagpepretend lang?

Damn it. Ang dami kong tanong and I know na masasagot lang lahat ng 'to pag nakausap ko na si Raya, but why did I left? Why did I not wait for her na maggising para itanong sakanya lahat ng 'to?

I know na the reason why I did not confront her is because I'm afraid—natatakot ako na baka totoo and if turns out to be true, I don't know how to continue anymore.

If it's true, saan ako nagkulang?

As I am drowned with thoughts bigla namang tumunog ang phone ko and I saw na tumatawag si Cole. I quickly picked it up and answered her call.

Cole: Ba't nauna ka na?

"I don't know. I'm drowned with thoughts" I briefly answered

Cole: Is this about Raya?

The rest of the girls knew na magbebestfriend lang talaga kaming tatlo nina Cole and Gia but actually we're more than that. Just like Mavi and Sav, Gia and I were cousins and si Cole naman, she's my sister.

'Di kami magkapatid like biological sisters but mula nung nawala parents niya, my mom stood up as her guardian and eventually, she legally adopted her.

Cole knew everything about me. Siya yung pinagshshare-an ko sa lahat ng bagay, siya yung karamay ko whenever I feel like I'm losing myself.

Cole: Hera, nandyan ka pa ba?

I was taken back into reality when Cole called out my attention.

"Yes, still here"

Cole: I'm asking you. Is it about Raya?

"Yes, she's been acting cold for a month now and kagabi I heard them talking..." I replied

"Sav told her na umamin na sa'kin. She doesn't love me anymore" I added

I could no longer contain my emotions, and tears began to stream down my cheeks.

Cole: Nakausap mo na ba siya?

"Not yet. I'm afraid, natatakot ako. What if totoo?"

Cole: 'Di ba we already discuss this? You should have expected it already lalo na nung umpisa palang na napansin mong cold na siya sayo

Cole: If it's true, then let go. Once she gets back, talk to her. Alamin mo muna ang totoo.

"I'm not yet ready. Saan ba kasi ako nagkulang? Did I do something wrong?" I asked, sobbing

Cole: Shh, don't cry. Baka hindi naman yun totoo, baka nagbibiruan lang yun sila.

"I don't know anymore"

Cole: Don't cry, okay? Pag nakausap mo na siya when we get back, tell me about it.

Cole: We'll leave na here in 20 minutes. I'll see you soon.
