TIRED OF LOVING YOU Yes. Ginagawa ko ang lahat para matapos na ito. Konting tiis nalang." Sabi niya tila pinapakalma ang kausap sa kabilang linya. "I miss you too. Bye." Pagpapaalam niya. Nakita ako nito ngunit nilagpasan lang ako at humiga na sa kama. "Pwede ba Evan, sa susunod hinaan mo ang boses mo. Baka biglang pumasok sila Elli at marinig ka." "Si Elli ba talaga o ikaw?" "Ayokong makipagaway. Matutulog na ako." "Tama lang naman na marinig mo eh, para mahiya ka naman." Bakas sa boses nito ang labis na pagkainis. Mabuti nalang sound proof ang kwarto namin kaya hindi ito maririnig sa labas. "Sana nga nahihiya ka." "Pwede ba wag tayong magaway ngayon, pagod ako." Mahinahong sabi ko. "Pagod na pagod na." Dahan dahan siyang tumingin sakin. "What do you mean?" "Wag kana magkunwari, alam ko naman na kaya mo ako laging inaaway kasi gusto mo na makipaghiwalay ako sayo." Nagiwas ito ng tingin. "Sige na Evan, nanalo kana. Siguro talagang mali ang naging desisyon ko na pakasalan ka at mahalin ka, akala ko kasi matututunan mo rin akong mahalin eh." "Wag mo akong artehan Ava." Galit na sabi nito. Huminga ako ng malalim at umupo sa kama. "Minahal mo ba ako Evan?" Dahan dahan akong tumingin sa mata niya. "Kahit konti lang." "Pwede ba tumigil kana kung hindi ma--" "Kung hindi ano? Sasaktan mo ako. Hindi ko na mararamdaman yung sakit Evan. Immune na ako sa araw araw." Pinunasan ko ang luha ko. "Ano bang kasalan ko sayo? Bakit mo ako pinahihirapan ng ganito, mali ba na mahalin ka? Hanggang kailan mo ba ako sisingilin sa kasalanan ko?" "Tumigil kana. Aalis na ako sa bahay na ito." "No need, this is your house. Matagal ko na rin napagisipan ito, pilit lang akong kumakapit sa tuwing nakikita ko na masaya ang mga anak natin kasama ka." Huminga ako ng malalim at napakagat ng labi para pigilan ang paghikbi. "I'm tired of fighting Evan, I'm tired of loving you." ⚠WARNING: PLAGIARISM IS A CRIME

"Anong paguusapan natin Via?" Malamig na tinig ni Levi pagkalabas ng balcony. I face him with teary eyes. "Anong ginagawa ng ex-girlfriend mo dito?" sa basag ang boses. Bumuntong hininga siya bago ako harapin. "From now on she's staying with us" he announced like nothing. "Are you serious Levi!" I said in disbelief. "She's pregnant, we're having a baby" bakas sa boses niya ang saya. "P--pregnant?" nanginig ang boses ko habang gumaragasa ang luha. Peke akong natawa pakiramdam ko ay mawawala ako sa katinuan. "Yes Via, she's carrying my child-- kaya simula ngayon dito na siya titira" tumalikod na ito pero bago pa humakbang palayo ay ibinuka ko na ang labi upang magsalita. "Yung iparamdam mo sa akin hindi mo na ako kailangan tinanggap ko, Yung harap harapan mo akong pinagtataksilan kinaya ko, pero ung ibahay mo pa pati ang kabit mo sobra na Levi, sobrang sakit na" Kulang nalang ay lumuhod ako sa harapan niya para ipakita kung gaano ito kasakit para sa akin. "Then leave Via" walang buhay nitong sabi at tuluyang pumasok ng bahay. He left me here. Nagpaulit ulit sa isipan ko ang huling sinabi niya.

" Strip naked in front of me Iza and prove to me you're a man " His voice was cold and raspy. " No " I told him. He answered me with a ghost smile. " You can't because you're a woman" He said with so much assurance. " I told you I am NOT a woman, Gigs " Pilit ko paring sinasabi sa kanya. He smirked. Pagod na akong makipagtalo pa sa kanya. " You want me to believe that?" He countered. " Yes " I almost didn't even hear my own voice. " Then fucking strip Iza. Huwag yung binabaliw mo ako ng ganito dahil kulang nalang aminin ko na sa aking sarili na nagmamahal ako ng bakla" His voice now was filled with frustration and anger. " I will NOT strip in front of you, Gigs. I will NOT" Wika ko bago ako takhang aalis ng tumayo siya para pigilan ako.
