"Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin sa 'yo, hindi na nga kita gusto!" Sigaw ko rito.
"Erin, listen," bumuntong hininga si Jarmin. "You know that I really love you. I know you can feel it. Ni hindi ka manlang ba nagtaka kasi isang araw tumawag na lang ako, sinasabing niloko kita? Sa tingin mo ba magagawa ko 'yon?"
Sarkastiko akong tumawa. "Paano ko malalaman? Nasa sarili mo na 'yan!" Sigaw ko at pilit na tinanggal ang katawan niyang kinukulong ako sa pader. "Kapag nakita ka rito ni Cadmus, he won't hesitate to end you!" Sigaw ko pa sa kanya.
"End me?" Natigilan ito saglit pero agad ding natawa. "End me huh, Erin? He can't end me. But I do can end him."
"Ano bang gusto mong patunayan ha? Ano bang gusto mo?" Unti-unti nang naglalandas ang luha kong kanina ko pa pinipigilang bumagsak. "Iniwan mo na 'ko tapos ngayon magpapakita ka ulit? Hindi na kita mahal, Jarmin. Hindi na."
"Sinasabi mo lang 'yan kasi nandyan si Cadmus. Kasi pinakita niya sa 'yong mahal ka niya. Nandito na ulit ako, Erin. Mas higit pa sa pera't pagmamahal niya ang kaya kong ibigay sa 'yo. Don't act like I never loved you the way he did! I love you! We love each other, that's the truth!" Sigaw pa nito sa akin pero nang makita niya ang mga mata ko ay lumambot ang tingin niya sa akin. "I-I'm sorry, Erin..."
He's right. There are similarities of him and Cadmus on how they made me feel loved. Jarim also took me out like Cadmus did, kissed me like Cadmus did, hugs me like Cadmus did, makes me laugh like Cadmus did but... Did he took me to a special person's grave? Bought me cotton candy and balloons to heal my inner child? Kiss me in the forehead like Cadmus did? Say sorry like he did? Gives me assurance like Cadmus did? No.
"You're not Cadmus, Jarmin. And you will never be. We are done long time ago."
Cadmus finally left Amber infront of me and I will do the same to Jarmin.
"But I love you, Erin!" Nagsimulang maglandas ang luha sa kanyang mga mata.
"You love me? Then why did you left me hanging? I was struggling, Jarmin! You left me all alone! If you loved me, you will never call me one day and just say you cheated on me like it's nothing! You left me!" Tumulo ang luha ko.
I genuinely loved him and I know he genuinely loved me too. But that does not change the fact that he cheated and left me. And now he wants to come back to me like nothing happened?
"Can you please let me explain, Erin? I just want you to spare some time to listen to me. Please Erin... I love you so much."
"We are done, Jarmin..."
Napahilamos siya ng mukha. "Okay... Okay. Let's just say that. We're done. But please listen to me, just a few minutes, Erin... Please."
Tiningnan ko siya, puno ng sama ng loob.
Pero wala eh, gusto kong makinig. Gusto kong malaman kung ano talaga ang nangyari. Pero wala nang magbabago sa desisyon ko. Si Cadmus at si Cadmus lang ang pipiliin ko.
