I am currently cooking our breakfast, Jake is still asleep. I smiled to myself even though I'm in pain right now. I don't know. I feel like there's a big whole inside me. Nilalapag ko ang niluto ko sa lamesa nang may mag doorbell. Hm, who could that be?

I went to the door and opened it. My eyes widen when I saw—

"You're here." She said and looked at me from head to toe.

"Megan." I said, almost a whisper.

Her jaw clenched and she looked at me coldly.

"Hindi mo talaga siya kayang iwan no?" Walang emosyon niyang sabi.

"I can't." I said.

She rolled her eyes. "Alright then. I hope that love of yours for him will lead to something worth all the pain you're feeling right now." She said.

Aalis na sana siya pero pinigilan ko.

"Megan...what are you doing here?" I dared asked.

She turned to me. "I was about to break up with him today." She said.

Kinapos ako ng hangin.

"Please don't." I said.

Kumunot ang noo niya. "Bakit? You should be happy dahil sayong-sayo na siya." She said.

I shook my head. "I don't want him to hurt. If you'll leave him, he'll get hurt and I don't want that." I said.

She arched her eyebrow. "That's not my problem anymore." She said and turned her back and walked away.

"Meg!" I shouted.

She didn't look back. Nang hihina akong sinara ang pintuan. Napapikit ako at dinikit ko ang noo ko sa pinto. I want to cry, but there's not tears falling. Guess I'm out of tears...

"Jiezel?"

Napamulat ako at napatingin kay Jake na nasa likuran ko at nakakunot ang noo.

"What are you doing there?" He asked.

"Ah, wala. Tara na. Kain na tayo." Sabi ko at hinila siya sa kusina.

Tahimik kaming kumain. Should I tell him that Megan went here? Stupid, of course I shouldn't. He'll know that Megan knows. Buti nalang at na-delay ang break up.

"Jie, may problema ba?"

Napatingin ako kay Jake.

"Ha?"

"Nakatulala ka dyan. May problema ba?" Tanong niya.

"Uhm..."

Marami. Marami akong problema.

"Masasaktan ka ba kapag nakipag hiwalay sayo si Megan?" I asked.

Napatigil siya sa pagkain. Parang tumigil ako sa pag hinga. I feel suffocated. Why did I even asked that?

"Why are you asking me that?" He asked.

I sighed. "Just answer me."

"Of course. I did everything for her. I want her to have the best." He said.

That broke my heart, rather, that made my heart an ash. It got burned and turned into ash. Of course, he'll get hurt.

"I'm sorry if I'm being really unfair. It's just that—"

"It's nothing. Sige na. Continue eating." Sabi ko.

Natahimik kami sa pagkain. Matapos naming makakain ay siya na daw ang mag huhugas. Uminom ako ng tubig. Habang umiinom ay napansin ko ang baso. Matapos kong uminom ay napatitig ako sa baso. Teka...
