HINDI NAGPASINDAK SI KATE sa marahas sa tinig ni Lucky. Hindi siya aalis hangga't hindi niya nasasabi rito ang mga dapat niyang sabihin,
He looked so gaunt. Parang halos hindi na ito kumain nang ilang araw. His bedroom was in disarray, the floor strewn with soiled clothes, overturned furniture, empty bottles and an ashtray full of cigarette butts. Lucky didn't smoke. He was a health buff. It broke her heart that he was in this desolate state, na pinapabayaan na nito ang kalusugan.
His clothes looked rumpled as though he'd slept in them for days. His jaws were now shadowed with dark beard. He hadn't shaved for days, too. Malamang ay hindi ito pumapasok sa trabaho. Lucky owned his own companies, and he was also on the workaholic side. For him to be missing work was an indication how badly he was taking it all.
Lumuhod siya sa harapan nito. "Luck..." muling sambit niya sa pangalan nito, hoping to reach that man who used to be her rock, her sanctuary, her bestfriend.
Ngunit mapanganib ang mga mata nito, nagbabaga sa poot. "Kate, I'm warning you. I'm in a very bad place right now. I don't want you here. Leave," paos ang tinig nito.
Ngumiti siya nang malamlam. "Bad place? We are both in a very bad place, Luck."
Isinadal nito ang ulo sa dinding, pumikit. "I don't care about your shit anymore. You're not welcome here anymore."
Humahagupit ang mga salitang binibitawan nito, pero tinanggap niya lahat 'yon. He was hurting, just like her. She did this to him, though it wasn't her intention. Now, it was her turn to take the lashing.
"Is that my BFF talking or my lover's super dented ego?"
Muling dumilat ang mga mata nito, malayelong tumitig sa kanya. "You think this is all about dented ego?"
"No...I'm sorry. No, it's not."
Tumingin ito sa kaliwa, iniwasan ang mga mata niya. Hindi na ito umimik pa. He was shutting himself in, shutting her out, building a wall between them to protect himself. She totally got that, too.
She gently touched the tips of his toes with her fingers, the part of his body nearest to her. "Luck, huwag ka namang ganito. Bakit mo pinapabayaan ang sarili mo?"
Iniurong nito ang paa palayo sa kamay niya. "What do you care, huh?"
"Of course, I care. Porke ba ayokong magpakasal, wala na akong pakialam sa 'yo?"
Bigla itong tumayo. "What the hell do you want from me, Kate? Why are you here telling me all this bullshit?! I don't wanna hear any of this! I'm done listening to your shit!"
Tumulo ang mga luha niya.
"Ah, for fuck's sake, will you quit the waterworks? Lahat ng gusto mo, sinunod ko! Ano pa ang gusto mo?"
