"... we have a child but knowing that he also has a child to his ex? I would rather make a living for my daughter alone instead of making him choose when I already know the obvious choice he will make. Mas masasaktan lang ako," I ended my storytime with Fate.

Right after Zecky left, Fate didn't stop bugging me about my past, and since, she's always doing things for me and I mean, so far... she's who I'm with most of the time here in the hospital. She seemed trustworthy too after all.

"Okay lang ba kung i-real talk kita?" she asked.

"Go ahead." My elbows were on my knees while my chin rested on my palms while waiting for her to talk.

"Ang tanga mo," she blurted out. "You fucking have a child and you chose to let him be with someone from his past? I mean... you're his present! Walang terms and condition ang mga taong nasa nakaraan na nila, wala na silang karapatan mag-demand."

Napailing ako. That's what Mavy was pointing at years ago but I still couldn't get it.

Kasi kung ako talaga yung may mas karapatan, kung ako talaga yung pipiliin niya. Bakit kailangan niyang maghintay ng tamang panahon para sabihin sa'kin yung nangyari?

Time isn't anyone's friend and looked where it got us.

Maybe we both lost our rights the moment we chose to hide our truths from each other.

Like we didn't trust each other enough.

And it sucks because it ends me and him.

"Pero kung wala, bakit siya yung kasama ni Zecky ngayon?" I asked Fate.

"Hindi ba dapat, sarili mo ang tanungin mo? Or should I break it to you?" she asked back.

Hindi ako nakasagot. Hindi ko alam kung natatakot ba ako sa magiging sagot sa tanong na yun o baka naman alam ko yung sagot? Hindi lang ako handa na tanggapin at lunukin yun?

"So, I might hate to break it to you but... it's your fault, Demi. Your choice in the past reflects your present now. Ever wonder if the both of them still ends up if you have a different choice?"

And by that. I decided to take over her duties because I couldn't stand another hour with her in the meantime.

I should've just shut my mouth.

But I asked for her opinion. I guess it's my fault that I cannot swallow the words she just fed me.

Truths really... they are deadly.

It was already sunrise when I decided to go to the hospital's rooftop. I just need to breathe.

Nang makarating ako doon, pinatong ko sa pasimano yung kape na binili ni Fate before I decided to went here. Fate's now busy on her duty kaya mag-isa ulit ako. I was busy sipping my coffee when Dane called me for a face time.
