"Colleen's POV"

I drink the coffee and look down.

"Colleen, I know what's the reason why you came back here," I look at her.

She were smiling but-her eye's looks red. As if her tears were about to fall down.

"...Because of Levi right?" Her tears fall onto her cheeks and she wipe it and smile.

"I know na sobra 'yong galit mo sa akin. But Colleen were not young anymore. Hindi lahat ng gusto natin nangyayari."

I am staring at her.

"Levi... and I, were accidentally a couple. Unfortunately we destined to be each other, hindi na ako magpapaligoy-ligoy pa... Keep a distance Colleen, pamilyado na 'yong tao. Hindi mo naman siguro dudumihan ang pagkatao mo?"

I was taken a back. I gulp, sandali kong ipinikit ang mga mata ko ng mariin.

"That's all you wanted to say?"

She nod and sniff.

"Bakit Hannah? Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa kaniya na aalis ako, na nagpaalam naman ako. I wrote a message Hannah..."

I bit my upper lip preventing myself to cry.

"Pero bakit hindi mo naman binigay? were bestfriend Hannah... why? why did you married the only man in my heart?!" I raise my voice.

She were so shock that her eyes widen.

"C-colleen..."

"Ni minsan hindi ako nag doubt sa pagtingin niyo sa akin. Laitin man ako ng lahat wala akong pakialam. Even if they curse me because of my attitude and how I lived. I don't care... Kasi alam kong tanggap niyo ako. Mag-e-stay kayo kasi mahal niyo ako, na never niyo akong tatalikuran. Kaya hindi ko maintindihan kahit anong pilit kong pag-i-intindi! Just why?!" Naikuyom ko ang dalawa kong kamao sa ilalim ng mesa. I did not cry pero madidiin ang bawat salita ko. Yumuko siya,

"You always get what you want. If you get what you want you'll just throw it away and leave it alone am I wrong? At ayoko mangyari kay Levi 'yon. You were just attracted to him."

"Huh, attraction? Hannah kung attraction lang 'to bakit hanggang ngayon siya pa rin ang laman ng l*cheng pusong ito?!" Tinuro ko ang dibdib ko. Nanatili siyang nakayuko.

"You were so stubborn until now. You cannot tell what's you want from what you like," Iniangat niya ang ulo niya at tinitigan ako.

"Tell me, kaya mo bang manira ng relasyon?"

"But in the first place Levi is mine."

"You're insane. Hindi bagay si Levi, Colleen. For pete sake don't mess around! It's just... I'm pregnant now."

I froze.
