“Bakit kapa kasi bumalik kung sasaktan mo na naman ako?” I asked Paul while sobbing.
“I'm healed na eh, I was living happily already. Tapos bumalik kana naman para sirain buhay ko, para saktan ako.”
“Pwede ba Paul? Stop shattering my heart because it's already shattered, and you're always the reason why.”
“I'm sorry Jane, I didn't mean to.” pag-tanggi niya.
“Ayan kana naman, hindi mo na naman sinasadya. Paulit-ulit na lang Paul, wala nabang bago?”
“Maawa ka naman sa'kin, sobrang sakit na nito oh.” I point my heart while looking at him.
“Pagod na 'tong puso kong masaktan, pagod na pagod na.”
“I just wanna clear the things that had happened between us, Jane.” he said.
“It's very clear, Paul. Napakalinaw na hindi mo talaga ako minahal, na pinaglaruan mo lang yung nararamdaman ko sa'yo.”
“You invalidated the genuine love I had for you.”
“No, I really love you Jane.”
“Is that what you called 'love'? Love supposedly brings happiness not sadness.” I cried heavily.
“Leave Paul, leave! I don't wanna see you again! Ayaw ko nang makita pa ang taong puro pasakit lang ang dala sa'kin. Ang lalaking walang ibang ginawa kundi durugin lang 'tong puso ko. Ang pekeng lalaking katulad mo.” napa-lundag ako sa sahig, iyak ng iyak habang dahan-dahan siyang naglakad palabas.
“Bakit ba napakamalas ko when it comes to love? Don't I deserve to be loved?”
“Why do I always end up hurting? Eh nagmamahal lang naman ako.”
