Klein's POV

Nasa bungad na kami ng bahay. May napansin akong pamilyar na bulto. Dumiretso na ako sa kwarto ko.

Mukhang pagod lang talaga ako at kung ano-ano ang nakikita ko.

I showered. I tried to remove my thoughts. Hindi ko na muna inintindihin ang mga problemang kinahaharap ko.

Dumulog na ako sa mesa. I ascended from the stairs. But I bumped on somebody. It was a woman.

It was Winter. My ex. The girl who didn't trusted me. Tss. I tried to conceal what I feel inside.

Nanlaki ang mga mata niya ng makita ako. She had blond hair. Mas lalo siyang pumuti sa America.

I never heard from her since she left. I tried to reach her. Hinanap ko siya. Pero hindi niya ako pinaniwalaan.

"Klein?"parang nakakita siya ng multo. As if I was some ghostly figure in front of her.

"Yes, the Klein Aaron Johnson you left after you believed Fleance"I said at her bitterly. I was looking away.

Pain was on her face.

"Dinner is served Klein. Kakain na"niyaya ako ni Mendev.

I left her without saying a word.

Dinner was dull. The aura was creepy, parang takot ang mga taong magsalita. Na parang hindi libre ang magsalita.

Kasama rin namin si Kaori. Medyo nahuli lang siya ng dating.

Binasag ni Mendev ang katahimikan.
"Maaga kayong matulog. We have to plan tomorrow. We need to ace this battle"nagsitayuan na sila at umakyat na.

Nahuli ako dahil medyo dis-oriented ako sa presensya ni Winter. Nakayuko pa rin ako sa pagkain.

"Can I have a word with you?"Napatingin ako sa kanya. I gave her a cold stare.

"Is there a need for that? Kailangan iyan noon but now we don't. Not the last time I checked"ipinagpatuloy ko ang pagkain.

"Klein! Will you stop being cold"parang maiiyak na siya sa ginagawa ko.

"Bakit ano bang inaasahan mong reaksyon ko? Everything has changed. My world doesn't revolve primarily on you"pagod na akong masaktan.

Wala nang rason para pakinggan ko pa siya. Second chances? It's pure shit. Kung ako nga noon hindi niya binigyan ng pagkakataong makapagpaliwanag bakit ko rin siya bibigyan.

Nasaktan siya sa mga sinabi ko.

"I think this conversation is pointless"I walked out on her. Mahirap balikan ang nakaraan.

Para itong sugat na matagal nang naghilom ngunit pinuwersa kaya bumuka ulit ang sugat.

Mabigal ang pakiramdam kong matulog. I dosed off into a dream.

Nasa malaking building ako. It was the Injap tower in quezon city.

"Winter! Winter!"tawag ako ng tawag kay Winter. Hinahabol ko siya. Ngunit tuloy tuloy lang siya sa paglalakad.

Nasa pinakatutok lang kami ng building. Tumuntok siya sa flatform at humandang tumalon.

"Winter! Huwag!"sigaw ko sa kanya. Hinarap niya ako. Malungkot ang mukha niya.

"Hindi mo ko pinakinggan Klein. Mas gugustuhin ko pang mamatay kaysa harapin ang galit mo"tumalon siya pagkasabi niyon.

"Huwag"napasigaw ako sa pagkagulat.

Tuloy tuloy siyang bumulusok. Pero nasa baba si Reeve upang saluhin si Winter. Nasalo niya ito at tinignan ako ng masama.

Nagising akong pawisan. It was a bad dream. It was the kind of dream that would sent shivers through my spine.

Is it telling me something? Tumunog ang smart phone ko.

"Shouldn't Come Back"

See you calling again
I don't wanna pick up, no, oh
I've been laying in bed
Probably thinking too much, oh, oh

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times
I don't reply, you know the reason why

Maybe you shouldn't come back
Maybe you shouldn't come back to me
Tired of being so sad,
Tired of getting so mad, baby
Stop right now,
You'll only let me down, oh, oh
Maybe you shouldn't come back
Maybe you shouldn't come back to me

Trying not to forget,
Should be easier than this oh, oh
And all the birthdays you've missed
I was only a kid oh, oh

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times
I don't reply, you know the reason why

Maybe you shouldn't come back
Maybe you shouldn't come back to me
Tired of being so sad,
Tired of getting so mad, baby
Stop right now,
You'll only let me down, oh, oh
Maybe you shouldn't come back
Maybe you shouldn't come back to me
To me

Sorry I'm not sorry for the times

Maybe you shouldn't come back
Maybe you shouldn't come back to me
Tired of being so sad,
I'm tired of getting so mad, baby
Stop right now,
You'll only let me down, oh, oh
Maybe you shouldn't come back
Maybe you shouldn't come back to me
Maybe you shouldn't come back to me.

It was from Winter. It read: I'm sorry.The song was from a friend. It was sang by Demi Lovato.

I'm ready to hear the truth from you. I texted her back. I am giving her the closure she needs.
