Chesca's POV
I can't believe in what happened! Eric just broke up with me. And I don't want to!!
"Ches, I think we need to end this." He said. Nataranta naman ako agad.
"Ha? What? Why, babe? Is there any problem? Y-you know... we can always fix this. Eric. Please." Naiiyak na ko. Why all of a sudden?
"No, its all on me. I'm really sorry."
"Bakit? Ganon na lang 'yon, ha? Bakit? Dahil ba dumating na ulit 'yong babae na 'yon? Siya na ulit? Iiwan mo ako ng ganun ganun lang?" I hissed. I'm in a verge of crying. While him, umiiling lang.
Yes, I know that SHE is the reason. I know about his past. At nung bumalik yung Iya na 'yon, nagbago si Eric. That's why I know that she is the reason why we're breaking up now.
Hindi ako tanga. At mas lalong hindi ako bulag.
*pak*
I slapped him hard. How could he! Ako lang naman si Chesca Soriaga. And I don't deserve this!! Hindi na siya kumibo pagkatapos ko siyang sampalin.
"You're so unfair." with that, I walked out.
Hindi ako papayag. Humanda ka, Iya!
I called my friends to accompany me to the bar. Of course they already knew that Eric and I broke up. Pero gaya ng sabi ko, hindi ako papayag. Babalik ka din sakin. You'll see.
"Oh, anong plano mo girl?" si Dee Ann.
"Hay nako, teh. Hayaan mo na 'yon. Hanapan kita bago!" kinikilig pa na sabi ni Raecel.
"Che! Si Eric lang gusto ko. Babalik din siya sakin. You'll see." sabi ko sa kanila.
"Wow. Taas ng confidence, huh."
"Oo nga. Tignan talaga natin." at nagtawanan pa sila.
"Lumayas nga kayo sa harap ko! Mga lecheng 'to."
Umalis nga sila at pumunta sa gitna para sumayaw. Pesteng mga 'to!
I stayed in our table and continue to drink. I can't be this sore loser! Hindi pwede! Babalik din siya. Arrghh!

Eric's POV
Well, I think I deserved to be slapped.
Today, I decided to ended up things with Chesca. Because I know it will be more hurtful for her if I prolong the agony. It will be unfair to her. And I don't want to be unfair to her. But I still do, though.
She deserves someone who will love her truly... without thinking of any other girl.
Aminado ako. Iya bothers me since she came back. I don't know. Of course, I loved Chesca. He made me fall for her without thinking of any other girl before. Believe me.
But seeing Iya, akala ko wala na. Akala ko, guilt na lang. But maybe my love for her is much stronger than any other. I promised her forever before. And I realized that she's still the one I want to spend my forever with. Mahal ko siya. At hindi pala nawala. But is it really to late? Am I? I know I was, and still a jerk. But I have my reasons. I don't want to leave her, but I can't stay too. I love Iya. But I love her, too.
I love my mom. She's the other woman I ever and forever love. That time, we discovered that Mama had a brain tumor. Kaya pala napapadalas ang sakit ng ulo niya noon. That night, inatake siya ng sobra. Natakot kami ni Papa. Papa decided to migrate immediately para maagapan.
Pinaayos ni Papa agad sa secretary niya ang passport at visa namin that day. Kaya kinabukasan ay nakaalis na din kami. I wanted to call Iya that time, pero sobrang kaba ko. I remember how I cried hard kahit paalis pa lang kami. I needed to choose that time. Iya or my mom. That was the hardest one. I can't afford to lose my mom as well as my dad. That's why I promised to myself na pagbalik ko, I make sure na si Iya naman. Pero ayaw na niya. I badly want to tell her my reasons. Sobrang hirap na.
But I will try and try again. I will make her mine. And this time, no more goodbyes.

"Son, I will let you handle some serious company matters starting next week. Don'r worry, I'll still guide and train you." Sabi ni Dad habang kumakain kami.
"Okay, dad."
"You sure you're okay?" tanong niya. Okay nga ba ako?
"Dad, how'd you know that mom is the one?"
Napaisip pa siya sandali bago magsalita. "Simple lang, the moment I knew na hindi ko kayang mabuhay nang wala siya, that was the time I knew she was the one..."
Silent fell between us. Then dad spoke again. "Why'd you asked? In love na ba ulit ang anak ko?"
Natawa ako ng mahina at umiling na lang kay dad. Maybe this is not the right time yet for dad to know about Iya again.
