Julia
"I'm sorry, but I'll be leaving...for good." Napailing ako. No way.
"Zach, tell me. What did I do to deserve all of your sh*ts? Isang beses lang akong nagkamali, pero matagal kong pagbabayaran? It's not even acceptable!" I angrily said.
I already gave my apology! Hindi parin ba sapat? Bakit naman kasi biglang naging ganito lahat?
"I hope you'll understand---"
"No, I won't. That's not even understandable! Ipaintindi mo naman sakin, oh." One, two. Dalawang beses na akong iniwan, balak pa niyang gawing tatlo? Kasi hindi ko na kakayanin eh.
"Dahil ba inakala mong mahal ko pa si Azreel kaya ka nagkakaganito? Napakababaw lang ng dahilan mo, Zach." It's just a lie! Paulit ulit kong sinasabi 'yun sa kaniya.
"Julia, hindi lang 'yun yung rason ko!" Sigaw niya. Napasapo ako sa ulo ko. Oh, God.
"Eh ano pa?" Galit na tanong ko. Zach naman eh...
"I'm a f*cking cheater." I froze. What the hell did he said?
"What did you just said?" I asked him, moving closer to him, pero unti-unti siyang lumalayo. It's not the truth, hindi niya pwedeng magawa 'yun.
"She's...pregnant. That's why we're getting married in Canada. In fact, she's already waiting for me there. And we're staying there for go—"
I slapped him.
My hands are shaking. I did that to him, for the second time.
"I don't want to believe you. You're just lying, Zachary!" I shouted. Hindi ko na napigilang umiyak.
Napaupo nalang ako sa sahig. How can he hurt me so much? So much to the point na hindi ko na alam yung gagawin.
"I'm sorry." Narinig kong sabi niya. He's now crying, too.
We are both in pain.
It's so painful, really really painful. Paano niya 'ko nagagawang saktan matapos niyang iparamdan kung gaano niya 'ko kamahal?
"Then leave. If that's just a lie or that's the truth, I don't care. Just leave, and don't you ever show your face to me again." Umiiyak na sabi ko.
I can't believe that I can say those words at him. 'Yun ba talaga yung gusto ko? Yung huwag na siyang magpakita sakin kahit kailan? My emotions are really confusing.
Tumayo ako at hinarap siya, even if he'll see the mess that he caused me.
"You want to end this? Then, okay. If breaking up satisfies you, then go ahead. Almost eighteen years naman kitang hindi kilala, so it won't bother me not to see you forever." I said, trying to be bold.
Not because he hurt me too much, eh sasaktan ko narin siya. I just want to express what am I feeling.
Tinignan ko siya sa mga mata niya. His eyes are red.
"I'm really sorry. I just have to do this. I'm really really sorry, Julia Faye." Then he held my hand.
I held his hand too, for the last time. Kasi kahit sinasaktan niya 'ko, mahal na mahal ko parin siya. That's the truth.
But if he wants to let go of my hand? If he wants to leave, then I'll give it to him.
Hindi ko kayang gumive-up but I gave in. Gumive-up na 'ko. Kasi 'yun yung gusto niya.
