Napapikit ako nang umiwas siya ng tingin. I know it's been years, but that scene keeps replaying in my mind over and over again.
I just want an answer before everything ends.
"D-Did you cheat on me, Logan?" I asked again, tears pooling in my eyes.
I admit, even if it happened years ago, it still hurts.
Hindi lang puso ko ang nasaktan, pati pride ko rin. And it made me insecure about everything—that I'm not enough, that I will never be enough.
"Do you want me to tell the truth?" he asked, and I nodded. I didn't want him to lie just to spare me the pain.
"I did..." He added, and my heart sank.
Thank you for not lying.
Mas masakit pa sana kung nalaman kong nagsinungaling ka para lang hindi ako masaktan.
I smiled at him, sincerely. It hurts so much, honestly. Pero dahil sa sinabi niya, parang nabigyan ako ng lakas para bitawan ang nakaraan—para bitawan na rin siya.
Kahit sabihin pang hindi ako tumutol sa annulment, hindi ko maitatanggi na araw-araw akong nag-aalinlangan, nanghihinayang.
"Can you tell me why you cheated?" I asked. Alam kong masakit ang magiging sagot niya, but I want to free myself. Gusto kong itanong ang lahat para isang bagsakan ang sakit.
"It's a guy thing, Eli. You won't understand," sagot niya, pero umiling ako. Oh.. how ironic.
"Make me," giit ko. "Make me understand, Logan."
Umiwas siya ng tingin. "I kissed another woman when we were still together," he admitted, and I listened.
"Not just one woman—marami. I was still acting like a bachelor at that time." Yumuko siya, parang ayaw na niyang magpatuloy. "But I never crossed the line. It was just a kiss."Just a kiss.
"B-But I saw you that night, with a girl, in our house." I said, recalling that painful moment—ang dahilan kung bakit napuno ako at umalis sa buhay niya.
"I don't know her, Eli..." He answered, and I couldn't help but laugh bitterly.Hindi kilala? Really?
"Hindi mo siya kilala, pero wala siyang damit sa ibabaw mo?" mahina kong sabi, pinipilit kontrolin ang sarcasm.
"You don't know her but she was in our house, naked, and moving on top of you?!" I said, my voice louder now.
"Don't lie again, Logan. Just answer me honestly, para pareho na tayong makatahimik," I said, my frustration growing.
"I'm not lying. I don't know her," pilit niya, and I raised an eyebrow.
