Cut!

"Jake, please don't leave me." Tuloy-tuloy ang pag-agos ng luha sa aking mga mata habang unti-unting pumapatak ang bawat butil ng ulan. I never imagined that this day would come.

I slowly grabbed his hands and knealed in front of him. Tears keep on falling off my eyes. My face was already soaked in tears.

"I'm begging you to stay. Please stay. Mahal na mahal kita. Stay with me. Please."

"Bea, listen." He removed my hands from his. He leveled his face with mine. "I do not love you. Everything that happened was only a game."

No, it's not true. He's just probably joking. Maybe this is one of his pranks. He used to play pranks on me. Maybe, this is one of them.

"No, you're just joking around, right? You love me, didn't you? We were just having fun yesterday! We were watching a movie together, it was actually our favorite mov---"

"Stop it Bea! Everything was a game. I don't love you! I never did! No one will ever love you!"

How dare him! Hindi ko namalayan ang sumunod na ginawa ko. I just found my right hand landed on his face. Ang lungkot at pighating nararamdaman ko kanina ay napalitan ng galit.

"Walang hiya ka! Hayop ka! Kaya ka ba makikipaghiwalay sa akin, ha?! Dahil game over na?!"

Pinagsusuntok ko ang matitipunong dibdib niya. Ilang malulutong na sampal rin ang natanggap niya sa akin. My heart was boiling with rage and I can't contain it anymore.

Akala ko totoo lahat ng ang matatamis niyang salita. Lahat ng ipinakita niyang maganda. Pero wala rin siyang pinagkaiba. Isa siyang malaking gag* para ituring akong isang laro. Isang malaking laro kung saan siya ang nanalo.

"Hayop ka! Gag* ka! Umalis ka sa harapan ko!"

"I'm sor---"

"Umalis ka na! Alis! Alis!" Ipinagtulakan ko siya hanggang sa tuluyan na siyang naglaho sa paningin ko. If I had known from the start that our relationship was only a game, perhaps I am the winner right now. Ang sakit. Sobrang sakit.

"Cut!" our director finally shouted.

I wiped away the tears from my eyes. Yesss!! Finally! Natapos na rin ang heaviest scene namin sa movie. Nakakailang take na rin kami dito and I'm so proud of ourselves kase natapos na rin namin sa wakas! Can't wait for our next shoot!

"Good job guys! It's a wrap!
