Palalim ng palalim pa ring lumulubog si Aeris, hindi niya makita kung sinong humihila sa kanya. Nagpupumiglas siya upang makaahon pataas, ngunit masyadong malakas at mahigpit ang hawak niyon sa kanyang paa. Hindi na siya makahinga, marami na siyang naiinom na tubig. Nanlalabo na ang kanyang paningin..

On the brink of losing consciousness, a series of scenes went flashing before her again. It was as if she was watching a movie on replay..

May dalawang taong nag-uusap sa loob ng isang opisina.. 

"J! You're not the person I used to know anymore! You've changed. S-sawang-sawa na ako! What the hell happened to you? T-tell me!" she shouted in frustration. Halata sa boses niya ang pinipigilang iyak.

He looked straight at her with a blank expression. "What happened? Nothing. We grew up Cha. That's it." madiin niyang sabi.

"That's bullsh*t J!" she said in an angry tone. Her voice cracking as the tears she held for so long started to fall from her big brown eyes. 

She went near him, stared at him straight in the eye while sobbing.. "N-nasan na yung kababata kong masayahin? yung palatawa? yung loko-loko? yung ayaw na umiiyak ako? Nasan na?!" sabi niya habang hinahampas-hampas ang dibdib nito. 

Pinunasan niya ang kanyang luha at nagpatuloy.. "You've become the exact opposite of him! Nasan na yung bestfriend ko? . . . At higit sa lahat, yung l-lalaking mahal na.. m-mahal k-ko??" garalgal ang boses niya habang sinasabi iyon. Muli nanamang dumaloy ang sariwang luha mula sa kanyang mga mata.. She was looking at him earnestly, waiting for an answer.

Nag-iwas lamang ng tingin ang lalaki, sabay sabing.."He's gone. It's over. We're through.."

"He's gone. It's over. We're through.."

"He's gone. It's over. We're through.."

"He's gone. It's over. We're through.."

She was stunned for a minute, his last words kept echoing inside her head. She felt like her chest was about to burst as if millions of needles were piercing straight to her fragile heart. Umiiling-iling siya, hindi siya naniniwala sa mga sinabi nito.

But then again, without looking at her, he broke the silence and uttered.. "I'm sorry. I'm breaking up with you.." 

It was then that she got back to her senses, she then realized that she wasn't dreaming, everything she heard is all real. Tears continuously flowed down her pinkish cheeks. That was the end of the line. Para siyang sinaksak-saksak ng paulit-ulit sa sinabi nito.

Pain and anger was seen through her raging eyes. "I-I HATE YOU!!" sigaw niya sabay sampal ng malakas sa magkabilang pisngi nito. Tumalikod at tuloy-tuloy na umalis. She slammed the door as she went out, paglabas ay agad-agad itong tumakbo na walang patutunguhan, habang wala sa sariling umiiyak.
