Ang bigat ng aking pakiramdam pagkagising ko. Siguro dahil sa kulang ang tulog ko.
Kung hindi pa tumawag si Von sakin ay hindi ako babangon.

"Marie wants to meet me" I said to Von. I just want to be honest with him.
Hindi siya nakasagot agad. Isang buntong hininga ang narinig ko bago siya makasagot.

"Do want me to accompany you?Or drive you ?" He finally answered  after a long silence.

Von knows how much I've been hurt because of Johan and Marie. Siguro kasi kung ibang babae iyon ay mas maiintindihan ko. What pains me more is, They cheated on me. Marie has been my bestfriend since time immortal .Sila Sarah, Viena and Jenessa naman ay nung High school. Marie is my soul sister. My sister from different mother. Kaya hindi ko matanggap na nagawa nila sakin yun.

"No, Im Fine. Mamayang gabi pa naman kami magkikita  I still can rest" I answered assuring him.

We decided to meet in a garden cafe. I spotted her sitting in a secluded table.

She smile faintly the moment she saw me. She still looks so pale kahit na nakalipstick siya. At hindi rin natatabunan ang mga pasa niya sa kamay at sa kanyang dibdib.

"Thank you for coming" She said.

I couldnt say anything to her. Tangging hindi ko lang talaga alam kung ano ang sasabihin sa kanya.

"I ordered your favorite coffee and cake" she continue.

I still didnt respond.

"Alam kong napipilitan ka lang kitain ako. Casey, Im so sorry. I just want to say sorry before its too late" she cried.

Too late? Yeah its too late talaga bago siya nagsorry sa pagsulot ng boyfriend ko.

"Im sorry for being so selfish. I hurt you and Johan. Please dont hate Johan, He loves you so much. It's all my fault"

"He loves me? Are you joking and wasting my time? Sana hindi nalang ako nagpunta kung ito lang ang sasabihin mo" I finally answered her full of bitterness.

She slowly handed a brown envelop.

"I am suffering from leukemia and I have a brain tumor, the doctor said I can only live for a year or less" I couldnt process anything she said. Hindi ko maintindihan.

"Remember the day I fainted while having our exams? That day Johan brought me to the nearest hospital kasi sirado na ang school clinic natin. That's the moment when we found out that I have leaukemia and brain tumor"

I remember that day . While taking our exam, Marie suddenly fainted. Grabe ang kaba ko noon. Hindi ako makapagconcentrate sa pagsagot sa exam dahil sa pag-aalala ko sa kanya. She is unconsious mabuti at nasa school lang si Johan naghihintay sakin matapos ang exams ko kaya siya ang nagdala sa kanya sa hospital.

"I love Johan. My love for him makes me selfish. I am selfish. I used  this condition to make Johan mine. No, No actually, Johan beg to me."

"He is begging for me to live and take the treatment and operation para hindi ka mag-alala at masaktan. Johan, cant afford to see you in pain"

"Bakit? Sa ginawa ba ni Johan hindi ba ako nasaktan?" Mahina kong sabi.

"No no ,please hear me out, Please dont blame him. He only loves you. I just want to know the feeling of being loved in return before I die.I know hindi na ako magtatagal kahit magtretreatment ako at maoperahan ang tumor ko. I only have 10% of surviving the operation. That's why I decided to be selfish. I decided to hurt you both.I deserve this disease because I am a bitch"

"Johan beg, but I threaten him na magsuisuicide ako pagbumalik siya sayo. Im sorry so so sorry. Alam kong walang kapatawaran ang ginawa ko,Cass pero please forgive Johan, dont hate him."  hagulhol niya bago siya nawalan ng malay.

Sabi nila the truth will set you free.
Pero bakit parang hindi ko matanggap na sa aming tatlo nangyari to.

Marie clearly loves Johan so much. She's afraid she couldnt take the operation and leave Johan behind hurting. That's a one of a kind great love.
