Manhid:
Hi Cailean :)

It's been six days

I miss you

I know you're still mad at me

But please attend your classes, ayokong mapabayaan mo yung pag-aaral mo nang dahil sa 'kin

Can we talk :(

I love you so much

Marupok:
Hey Bryle

Manhid:
Cailean is that you?

Marupok:
Obviously

Manhid:
I'm sorry :(

I'm just so happy that you replied

How are you?

Marupok:
Trying to be okay

Manhid:
I'm sorry. This is all my fault

Manhid is typing....

Marupok:
Can you stop saying sorry?

Mas lalo mo lang pinapamukha na may ginawa kang kasalanan sa 'kin. You're making yourself bad

Manhid:
Okay, I'm sorry

Ay... I mean 'di na mauulit

It's just, I hurt you :( you can't blaim me for saying sorry to you

So, can we talk?

Marupok:
Explain everything. My ears are all your

Just make sure that's not another lie again. I'm tired of giving you a chance Bryle, don' waste it

Manhid:
Thank you Cailean for letting me explain

I'm sure you heard you heard the name Johanna. She was my senior high fling, but we didn't date or had any label

I liked her, she's very funny, bubbly, kind to everyone, and humble. Every guy will definetly fall for her

I thought I wouldn't but I was too fragile when it comes to her, I tried to court her yet she wasen't ready for a serious relationship so we remained as flings

Until one night after our graduation, we  celebrated at a bar and something happened to us. I considered it as a mistake but she did it intentionally and I broke up with her (even if we don't had a label)

Months after, she suddenly appeared and claimed that she was pregnant and she told me that I am the father

I couldn't accept it. It's not that I don't want the child. It's just... I wasn't ready for it, I'm still 19 that time and I want to persue my dreams first than having a relationship or a family

My mom told me to assume the duties of Johanna's baby, I repeated my first year in collage because my grades were bad. I had a lot of priorities to do, acads, baseball, and Beatrice

One day, we knew that she has a Coronary heart disease, her heart is weak and she need immidiate surgeries. My mom decided to continue the operation in New York, they stayed there for almost a year

After Johanna, I promised myself not to love again, I was afraid to make a mistake, I'm sure no one will accept me once she knew that I have a daughter

Everything changed when I met you, I knew there was something special about you, you reminded me of Johanna. I tried to avoid you, stay away from you when I noticed that you had a crush on me

And then the baseball insident happened. But again, I didn't regret anything Cailean, you were a big impact to my life and I will never regret meeting you

Marupok:
Bakit hindi mo pinanagutan si Johanna? Alam ba ni Beatrice na si Johanna mommy niya?

Manhid:
We tried, but our relationship didn't work. Beatrice know that Johanna is her mom, but she prefer my mom as her guardian since she spent a year in New York with her grandmother

Marupok:
Ayoko maging third party Bryle. You have a family, you have a daughter who deserves a complete family. Ayoko nang makagulo, I've caused too much trouble

Manhid:
No please Cailean

Listen to me first

You're not a third party, Johanna and I are already over since the day that she cheated at me

We can be a family, Cailean. You, me, and Beatrice, I know it sounds complicated, but we'll figure things out

Marupok:
What? She cheated on you? What happened?

Manhid:
River--- or should I say Atlas

I know it's hard to accept, but the guy you trust also decieved you. I don't want to mess up his name, yet I think you should talk to him let him explain

Marupok:
WHAT? Are you sure it's River? He will never do that. He's kind I know it

Manhid:
I'm sorry :(

That's why I want you to stay away from him. I don't want you to get hurt. Alam kong masasaktan ka kapag nalaman mo na niloko ka ng dalawang mahalagang tao sa buhay mo

Marupok:
Fuck Bryle

Ano bang ginawa 'ko, bakit ako pinapasurahan ng ganito tangina ang unfair naman eh. Bakit niyo 'ko niloko

Tangina lang

Manhid:
I'm sorry over and over again. Kung alam 'ko lang na mangyayari 'to sana sinabi 'ko na sa'yo nung una pa lang

Marupok:
Sana hindi mo nalang ako nireplyan sa mga messages 'ko

Sana minute mo nalang ako
