primrose
hey, xero

i don't know if this is  really the right
thing to do pero is it okay if you stop
talking or sending messages to addi
muna?

xero
hey, why do i need to stop?

primrose
you're the trigger for her pain right now

she can't bear it anymore, xero

we're trying to fix everything para
hindi siya gaanong mahirapan

ang hirap panoorin si addi na parang
wala lagi sa sarili

xero
i don't know if i can stop, prim

sending her messages is just  what i can
do to let her know  that i still care about her.

and,  i want to ask for her forgiveness.

primrose
give her three to five months

she really can't give it to you now

she has a lot to handle in her shoulders
and giving you the forgiveness that you
want is the  least thing she would do.

what really happened, xero?

xero
i was fooled by my ex, making
me think na all she really wants
for the both of us is closure. i never
know na gusto niya palang makipagbalikan.

primrose
you should've said it to addi as
early as possible. hindi yung sa iba
pa niya malalaman.

addi hates that.

now, you're late. it will take too
long for the forgiveness you
were aiming.

xero
i don't care how long it will  take, prim

i am firm on my decision to wait. i will never
back down.

primrose
as expected from you

just wait until she fully became okay
and maybe, you can settle things
with her after that.

prim probably already messaged
you but i still will because you're
an asshole.

xero
yes, primrose already talked to me.
i know you're mad at me, pierre.

pierre
why wouldn't i?

you haven't seen her broke down in front of
me. you haven't hear her loud cries. you
haven't seen her nonstop tears.

kung nandoon ka lang, hindi mo kakayanin

she was deeply in pieces because of the
people around her at dumagdag ka pa

xero
what happened?

can you tell me, please?

pierre
sige

hindi mo rin naman siya makakausap kaya
ako na lang magsasabi sayo.

she was forced by her parents to stop hanging
out with her cousins kasi akala nila hindi
magandang influence sa kanya ang pagsama
sa kanila. they didn't know how her cousins are
her strongest support. kaya hindi niya ngayon
kinakaya na wala ang mga taong 'yon sa tabi
niya. it is what makes her feel alive the most.

she can't handle people leaving  her. you know
what that jian did  to her. he left her without
a proper action, a proper explanation.

i saw her trying to overdose herself to almost
take her life away. if you  were there, you would
be breaking so bad. addi might be good on hiding
all of these from you but i know her very well. she'll
be having a therapy again soon with a psychologist.

we want her to heal, xero. we want her to be
completely okay. i can't let her ruin herself like
that

xero
shit

i'm really sorry

fuck

i should've been there i should've
comforted her i should've been
more careful

pierre
you knew she was unstable tapos ganoon
pa ang ginawa mo?

hindi ka ganyan ka-tanga dati

she hates her anxiety so much

to have it within her, she feels like it
is a curse or a flaw.

xero
is there an another attempt after that?

pierre
no, i'm guarding her

xero
thank you

i'm sorry, pierre

i know you're really close to addi now
that i can see your actions towards her

if i also disappointed you, i'm really sorry

pierre:
buti alam mo

try your apology again next time, baka
sakaling tanggapin ko na.

ngayon kasi, hangga't hindi ko nakikitang
maayos si addi, hindi ko 'yan matatangap.

i hope you understand me.

xero
yes, of course

but can you still tell me things about her
from time to time?

pierre
fine

xero
thank you, that's enough for me.

pierre
anyway, if this might bother you, i don't
have romantic feelings towards addi. we
only have a strong platonic relationship.

xero
i know that, pierre.

pierre
sus, kahit na nagseselos ka na talaga
kasi hindi ka makalapit kay addi
tapos ako pwede 😏

xero
