"Val... Hindi ko talaga kaya eh."

"Alam mo bakit? Kasi mahal mo pa rin si Maine. Mahal mo parin sya, Alden. At alam monng hindi mo kayang mag-mahal ng ibang tao kung mahal mo parin sya."

I sighed.

"So what should I do?"

"Wow. Hindi ako love expert, isa pa lang boyfriend ko kaya wala pa kong alam sa mga ganyan-ganyan. Basta ang advice ko, sabihin mo kay Maine at Raffa ung totoo. Kausapin mo si Raffa ng masinsinan, at kung mahal ka talaga nya, maiintindihan nya un. Kahit ayaw pa nya, kung alam nya naman dun ka masaya, pakakawalan ka nya. At kay Maine? Aminin mo, bro. Nag-uubos ka lang ng oras."

"Geezz... Thanks, Val."

"Welcome. Aalis na ko, hinahanap na ko ni Je."

Valeen stood up and left my house. After an hour, Raffa came back.

"Hey, babe. Where did you go?"

"Ugh. Nag-girl time lang kami ni Daniela."

She sat on the barstool and dropped her bag on the floor. I walked behind her and started massaging her. After 2 minutes, she noticed that I'm acting weird.

"Babe?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you okay?"

"Oo naman, bakit?"

"You're acting strange lately."

"Strange? How can you say that?"

"Kasi, hindi mo naman tong usually na ginagawa so..."

I stopped massaging her then went around the counter to face her.

"Okay, something is wrong. What is it?"

"Raffa, we need to talk."

"Oh, for God's sake, si Maine nanaman noh? Ano nanaman?!"

"Raffa, if you won't calm down, hindi tayo makakapag-usap ng maayos."

"How can I be okay kung pangalan nya lng ang maririnig ko araw-araw, gabi-gabi, at oras-oras galing dyan sa bibig mo! I'm so sick of her, Alden!"

"Can you please let me speak?!"

Then she rolled her eyes. After a couple of minutes, I decided to let it out.

"We need to break up."

"What? Wait, w-what do you mean?"

"You heard me right, Raffa. I'm backing out from this wedding."

"You can't do that!"

"Yes, I can."

"Ummm? Then I won't let you!"

She said, trying to answer fiercely.

"I can't give you to another woman when were in this stage of our relationship!"

"And I just realized that I can't give my heart to another woman like you just like that! Can't you see, Raffa? I've been struggling in our 7 years of relationship, not because of our problems or about you, it's because I don't love you, and she's still the one that my heart is calling!"

I turned around and started walking to the door, but before that, She hit my head with a baseball bat. And I fainted.
