Ella's POV 

I woke up at dawn and Jema was staring straight to me pala. nagulat pa ako sa kanya. 

"what did we do.. la.." Jema was crying 

" I was carried away.. and I can't seem to hold back earlier.." Jema said and I just did kissed her tears

"La.. makinig ka naman" Jema pushed me a bit.. 

"Can we just.. can we just.. "I sighed.

"Can we just what???" Jema said and she still crying.

"Can we just Ella and Jema for this moment.." I said to her 

"Nababaliw kana ba?.. naririnig mo ba sarili mo?? what happened was not right and .. I let it.. happened" bumangon si Jema at nasapo ang mukha nya with her palm. 

"I was so damn jealous seeing you with Meg.. so damn happy with Meg.. I saw your pics with her.. and It hurts me a lot that I need to rush home to see you soonest I can" I said to her.

"Ayaw mo akong maging masaya sa iba..???? I was trying to move on la.. and  si Mike.. Paano si Mike??? how about Mike.. you are getting married soon. Wag ka namang maging selfish dahil lang nakita mo akong masaya at kinalimutan mo na ang  ibang tao sa paligid mo." Jema said and she felt guilty of what we did behind Mike. 

"so you really did like Meg.. " I said..

"la.. this is not about Meg.. This is about you and Mike.. and the.. betrayal we did.. nakikinig kaba???"humarap na ng upo si Jema saken.

I sighed.

"we cheated on him...." Jema was looking straight to me and still crying. 

"Mike and I.. broke up..... I did.. said yes to him after college at naging kami.... Mike is a good man.. but.. months ago... he had a business trip in Spain.... and.. one night he was drunk.. and he had a one night stand with a girl.. he admitted to me just recently.. coz the girl.. came.. and she's pregnant... I was devastated.. We still call each other babe.. kasi ang alam ng iba we are engaged... the wedding is over and I was confused to be honest.. I should had this anger... of what Mike did.. but.. somehow.. it was a feeling of relief.. We still do casual and business thing. I forgave him on what he did.. after all may pinagsamahan naman kami.. I was confused coz bakit ang gaan lang tanggapin.. but then Meg came in the picture.. I wasn't thinking right when we were in the business trip.. I kept on checking her IG just to see what you two were doing.. and I know she had a thing on you.. she had a lot of post about you in IG.. maybe hindi mo nakikita.. coz you are not into soc med... I rushed home just to make sure.. If what I have.. is.. sure.." I confessed to her and she just listened to me.. 

"When I told mike that I need to rush home... he mentioned about you.. and he knew all along.. that.. it was you.. I did love Mike.. but he said.. I was different when I am with you.. even those college days.. Mike thought na hindi ko sya sasagutin after grad kasi akala nya tayo ang magjowa. He told me everything about me,. my actions and how I treated you that I am not aware off.. Mas nasaktan ako nung umalis ka kaysa sa pag cheat ni Mike saken.. and right now.. I am hoping that... this is still not too late for me for you to like me back"
