I smiled when I saw myself in the mirror. I look good wearing this white gown. Napatingin ako sa pintuan ng bigla itong magbukas at iniluwal si Zharia.

"Oh my, you look fabulous, Emerald!" Nakangiti nitong wika habang papunta sa gawi ko.

"Napaka-ganda mo talaga. Nagmana ka ba kay Aphrodite?" Natatawa nitong wika. Wala akong ginawa kung hindi ang umirap dito. Kahit kailan napaka-bulera ng babaeng 'to.

"Anyways, ready? 10 minutes na lang nag-uumpisa na ang kasal. Naandyan na 'yung groom bhie!" Nakangiti nitong wika.

"Yeap,"

"Okay, I'll get going. See you around." She said then wink. Lumabas din ito kalaunan.

I looked at myself in the mirror. Nanlaki ang mata ko ng makita kong dumudugo ang ilong ko. Agad akong kumuha ng tissue na nakapatong sa round table at agad iyong pinunasan. Hindi matigil ang pagdugo ng ilong ko.

"Emerald-

Agad akong napalingon. Ganoon na lang ang gulat ko ng makita kung sino ang pumasok. Its Lucifer, the groom-my ex.

"Shit, what the fuck happened?" Gulat nitong tanong. Agad itong pumunta sa gawi ko at inabutan ako ng tissue.

"What the hell happened? Bakit nadugo-

"Its none of your concern, leave it to me. Kaya ko sarili ko." I said then grabbed the tissue roll in his hand.

Humarap ako muli sa salamin at muling pinunasan ang dugo na patuloy tumutulo sa ilong ko.

"You lose your weight, what's the matter? Ano ba talagang nangyayari sa 'yo?"

Napapikit na lamang ako hindi dahil sa iritasyon kung hindi dahil sa sakit na nadadama ko. Its been three years since we broke-up but I still love him and now nasa kasal n'ya ako but not as his bride but as his pianist. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me, hindi ko alam kung bakit patuloy ko siyang nagugustuhan at minamahal.

I took a deep breath to relax myself. Humarap ako sa kanya at pilit na ngumiti. "Be a good husband, Luci. Promise me na magiging masaya ka." I'm holding back the tears that wants to fall.

"You broke up to me without saying any reason. Today is the best day para sabihin 'yon, Emerald. Tell me." Kita ko ang pagkuyom ng kamao nito.

"Reason?"

"Your body is too weak, hindi na nito kinakaya ang sakit. Your body reject our treatment and also the medicines you take. Unti unti nitong nilalamon ang katawan mo. You will lose your weight without trying, madadalas din ang pagdu-dugo ng ilong mo. Ayan ang epeketo ng leukemia, Emerald. I'm sorry to say this Emerald, but your life is now in danger."

I took a deep breath to calm myself. I had leukemia at itong buhay ko, kaunting oras na lamang ang itatagal nito. That's the reason kung bakit hiniwalayan ko si Lucifer. Nawala ang mother ni Lucifer at nakita ko kung paano naging miserable ang buhay n'ya. At natatakot ako na maging miserable ang buhay n'ya dahil sa 'kin. He's serious kind of person, kaya alam ko na dadamdamin n'ya once na mawala ako.

"Answer me, Emerald. I still loved you and I know na alam mo 'yon-

"I don't love you anymore. I don't care about your feelings for me, may iba na akong mahal, Lucifer. That feelings para sa 'kin, kailangan mo 'yang itapon. The feeling is not mutual anymore." I said trying to keep myself strong. Those words, its a big fat lie.

I can see how Lucifer stilled. I know those words can hurt him, pero ayon ang dapat. He needs to move on, he needs to love someone na hindi s'ya iiwan.

"Be a good husband, a good father. Tuparin mo ang pangarap mo kahit wala na ako." I said while wearing the painful smile.

You will be always my Romeo, Lucifer.
