SEAN'S P.O.V.

It's taking me how many days to get away from everything and everyone. I wanted to achieve peace of mind.

Nagulantang yung mundo ko sa biglaang paglitaw ulit ni Cian kasama ang isang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha ng babaeng mahal ko.

Yes, I've been an asshole for hurting her and fooling around, but I regretted everything I have done.

The moment they all said that Brynn was dead, I think that was my punishment for what I've done. Her death brought me a long time misery.

It's been five years but I am still stucked in the past. It's been that long but I do not know yet how will I forget her. Tapos ngayon, ganito ang mangyayari.

"Sean?"

Napalingon ako nung marinig ko ang boses niya. Alam ko naman na kung sino 'yon. Siya lang naman lagi ang nakakahanap kung nasaan ako.

"I knew it, you're here", sambit niya

Napabuntong-hininga ako saka ako napapikit at napahawak sa batok ko.

"Please Riona, kung aawayin mo lang ako, can you postpone it for a while? Please", sambit ko

"I came here to find you and here you out. I am not here to give you more stress", mahinang sambit niya

Nakaramdam ako ng konsensya matapos niyang sabihin iyon.

For the past years, when no one wanted to listen to me and hear me out, she was there. When no one believed in me, she did. When everyone decided to leave, she stayed with me.

"I'm sorry", mahinang sabi ko

Tinapik ko ang bakanteng upuan sa tabi ko at mukhang nakuha naman niya ang gusto kong sabihin dahil naupo agad siya dun.

Hindi ako nagsalita at nanatiling tulala. Hindi ko rin mahanap ang mga tamang salitang dapat kong ibigkas. Hindi ko alam.

"I am just here for you Sean. I am not your girlfriend just to be a display", sambit niya

Five years. She has been my girlfriend for five years and yet, I still feel the same towards her. I still love her, just as a friend.

"Alam ko naman ang lugar ko ever since. And now that someone is here who looked exactly like her, dapat na ba kong kabahan? Mawawala ka na ba sakin?", deretsong sabi ni Riona

I looked at her but she smiled sadly at me as she tried to conquer her tears.

Nag-iwas siya ng tingin at nagpayuko. Nagsimula siyang laruin ang mga daliri niya habang nakangiti ng malungkot.

I have been miserable for how many years and I dragged her into my own misery.

"Do you think.....she is Brynn?", tanong ko sa kanya

Bukod sakin o kay Cian, alam kong si Riona ang isang makakakilala sa kanya kung sakali.

"What if she is? Are you going to leave me for her?", tanong niya

Hindi ako nakasagot. Hindi ko kayang sabihin ang sagot ko. Pakiramdam ko ay may kung anong bumara sa lalamunan ko.

"I've always hated her. I've always wanted to get even. I wanted her to feel the pain I have felt", sambit ni Riona
