"M-my g-girlfriend dumped me." Kasabay ng binitawan niyang salita ay ang pagbagsak ng luha sa mga mata niya at ang pagbalik ng alaala ni Cassandra sa sistema niya.
"Are you okay sir?" Tanong ni Azi sa kabilang linya.
"No, Im not, Im really not." Pumipiyok niyang sagot sa tanong nito.
"Uhm to be honest I dont know what to say sir, I mean I never had a boyfriend before so I dont know how it feels to get dumped."
Hindi alam ni Johann kung matatawa ba siya o maiinsulto sa sinabi ng agent. It feels like shes saying that shes never been hurt like him but somehow his system says it's okay para maipamukha sa kaniya na hindi lahat alam kung ano ang nararamdaman niya.
"It's okay."
"Uhm if you dont mind sir can I ask a question?"
"No, I dont mind, go on."
"How long does it take? I mean you and your girlfriend's or should I say ex's girlfriend?"
Sa tanong ng agent napaisip siya, matagal ng sila ni Cassandra pero bakit nagawan nitong itapon ng ganoon kadali ang relasyon nila?
"Uhm we've been together for four years until she break up with me." Nahihirapang sambit niya dahil sa bukol na namumuo nanaman sa lalamunan niya.
"Four years? Thats long and I know it hurts. Are you okay there sir?"
"I dont know I only feel pain. I feel numb because of pain."
"Oh? When did she dumped you sir?"
"Two weeks ago, when we celebrated our anniversarry."
"Two weeks and it still hurt?"
"Yeah it is, it really hurts. And its killing me. I want to be numb so I will not feel the pain but the pain is so persistent to ruin my system."
"Its okay sir, its her loss not yours."
Sa sinabing iyon ng agent naisip ni Johann na tama ito. Pero ang pakiramdam niya siya ang nawalan. Nawala sa kaniya ang babaeng mahal niya.
No its not her loss its mine, I lost her.
"Sir?" Anang ng kausap sa kabilang linya.
"You're wrong, she didn't lost me. I lost her." Puno ng lungkot na sabi niya rito.
"Sir listen carefully because I will not repeat what I am going to say. Okay?"
"Okay."
"It's her los-"
"It's mine not hers." Putol niya sa sasabihin nito. Johann heard her sigh on the other line.
"Did I told you to talk sir?" Irritation was filled in her voice and it somehow scrared him.
"Uhm no. But I was stating the fact." Pagdedepensa niya sa sarili.
"Thats it. If I told you to speak thats when you speak. If I am talking dont interrupt and just listen!" Halos mapatalon siya sa kinauupuan dahil sa pagsigaw nito ng huling salita.
Whats with this girl. Nasa job description ba nito ang palaging manigaw ng caller.
"Oh I-im sorry. But please dont shout at me I am still your caller."
"Okay." Anito na parang wala lang ang sinabi niya.
"Okay. Now talk and dont shout, I am the one in pain here and you're shouting at me."
