Tulalang lumabas si Mina sa cellar ni Jackson. Hindi siya makapaniwala sa kwento nito. Baligtad ang naging resulta sa kanya dahil sa nangyari kay Sharon. Ilang taon ang nakalipas nang mangyari iyon ngunit hinid pa umaabot sa utak niya ang nangyari. His brain can't process the event.
She can vaguely remember the first time they met. But she can vividly remember the Jackson before.
He's a sweet romantic man. Siya ang naunang nanligaw sa kanya, sumunod si Chaeyoung. Pero mas pinili niya si Chaeyoung.
Mina: Why did I chose Chaeyoung?
Iyon ang tanong sa kanyang isipan nang mag sink in lahat ng mga kwento ni Jackson. They are both romantic guys, but she end up loving Chaeyoung more.
Napatingin siya sa mansion ni Jackson. This is his home since birth, and everything made sense. Kaya pala sa cellar or basement tumutuloy si Jackson ay dahil sa tapat ng pinto ng mansyon nila nakita ang bangkay ni Sharon.
Kung siya si Jackson, aalis siya sa bahay na 'to at hahanap ng ibang bahay. That woukd be better, right?
But he can't move because Sharon and him have plenty of memories in this house and he can't abandon those just because of a bad memory.
Mina: Titigilan niya ako kapag nilayuan ko ng tuyan si Chaeyoung?
She think for a while. Hanggang kailan ba niya lalayuan si Chaeyoung? Hanggang kailan niya iiwasan na magtagpo ang landas nila?
Kipkip ang slingbag, bumuntong hininga siya at nagsimulang maglakad. Laman ng isip niya ang huling sinabi ni Jackson. Gusto niya talagang tumigil na ito sa pananakit sa kanya. Hindi niya rin naman makumbinse ito na tigilan siya ng walang kapalit.
Mina: If my love for Chaeyoung will lead me to death, I rather leave him alone. ~
Hindi mapakali si Chaeyoung sa naging usapan nila ni Dahyun. Kahit pa sinabi nito na ligtas si Mina, hindi siya mapakali.
There is this discomfort in his heart. Naalala niya bigla ang number na binigay sa kanya ni Mina. Ngayon niya lang naisipang tawagan ito.
He dialed the number and put it speaker. Ilang ring na ang nagdaan ngunit walang sumasagot. He tried 2 times, 3 times to 6 times.
Chaeyoung can sense the coldness of her voice. Bakit na ba niya ulit tinawagan si Mina?
Mina: may sasabihin ka ba? Kasi kung wala papatayin k--- Chae: Mina! Mina: Yes? Chae: Are you....A-are you okay? Mina: Yes Chae: Uhm, that's good.. Mina: Yeah Chae: ........
Nang tumahimik si Chaeyoung sa linya, pinatay ni Mina ang tawag. Di makapaniwalang tinitigan ni Chaeyoung ang screen ng cellphone niya.
Chae: Am I that unimportant?
Bigong tumayo su Chaeyoung sa kinauupuan at nagpunta sa banyo. He washed his face vigourously. He's so frustrated!
Marami siyang gustong sabihin, pero ba bigla niyang nakakalimutan pag andyan na?
He looked at his reflection, he's doomed. His face speaks the failure. Pakiramdam niya one-sided love siya ngayon sa ex girlfriend niya.
Chae: Should I really leave her alone?
Iwinaksi niya ang isipan. No, she'll never get away with him if there's still unanswered questions.
First, why did she lie to him about Jackson. Bakit kailangan niyang itago? Bakit kailangang masaktan pa ito para lang makasama siya.
Second, where she had been after being hospitalized? Anong nangyari sa matapos ng isang gabi sa ospital. Bago pa niya bisitahin ulit si Mina, naglaho ito ng parang bula.
Third, what is the true reason why she rejected of the idea of being married to him? Is it because of Jackson?
~
Huminga ng malalim si Mina matapos niyang patayin ang tawag. Chaeyoung unconsciously weakened her being.
Sa naging usapan nila, buong buo na ang isipan niyang umalis at lumayo. Or maybe go after her savior?
Mina: Should I really leave him when I'm still in love with him? How can I get to be with him without getting hurt?
