"The reason behind"

Gihatud ko ni Bryle pauli sa amo after namo sa 7/11.

Gahilak gihapon ko, asking my worth. Am I not enough for Clint? Ug nganu sa kadaghan sa babaye, akong ig-agaw pa.

Nagpasalamat ko kay naa ra si Bryle ga-comfort nako.

Naabut nami sa balay and then igo rako gi tap ni Bryle tapos nisulod nako padulong sa akong kwarto.

Wala pako nakatulog kay gasige rako ug pangutana sa akong kaugalingun. Naghilak until makuhaan ang kasakit. But still, sakit gihapon. Buak kaayu akong dughan. Wako kahibae unsaon pag-ayu.

Unsay kuwang sa ako? Dili bako enough para dili siya mangita ug lain? Mas lami ba mu-kiss si Sydney kesa nako? Wako kahibaw sa reason, to think lagyu pami ni Clint.

Cheating is always an issue. Why cheat if you can break with the person beforehand? Why cheat if you love the person so much? Why cheat?

I messaged Clint that night. All the questions that I want to be answered. And then told him nga magbuwag nami. I never thought he was online. He replied "Okay. Thanks for everything, Shan. You are now free". Unsa ka gago diba? Pero love gihapon nako.

Dili nako mu-fight kay si Clint na mismo ni-let go pud. Dili nako mu-fight kay if mupadayun pako, magpabilin kong pildi at the end. Akoy malunod.

Morning came ug gitawag ko ni Mama kay naa daw si Bryle sa ubos.

Naligo ko then ninaug.

Gilingaw rako ni Bryle, but wala ko ka-feel ug kalingaw, kundi kamingaw sa kang Clint.

Siguro ug magsorry si Clint mubalik ko niya. Ambut lang.

Exactlt 9 months ang nilabay. Wala gihapon ko ka-move on kay tungod wala paman jud ko kahibaw sa reason. Nagbuwag mi nga walay explanation si Clint nganu iya tung nabuhat.

And I think, makahibaw nako karun.

Niuli si Clint gikan US. And he was with Sydney, naburos na. Naligsan sa hotdog ni Clint.

I was with Bryle that time. Friends ra gihapon mim No strings attached.

Naa mi sa balay together with my family and Clint's family.

But they left ne with Clint to talk about us. And then he explained everything. Everything as in everything nga tungod anang everything I was left broken.

Trust broken. Self-esteem down. Mentally suffocated. And I was left depressed.

I talked to my family and there it was proven true.

My mother and Clint's father are half-siblings.

Clint and I will never end with each other because we are cousins.
