RHIAN'S POV
"Hindi ko alam.... W-wala akong alam. I'm so sorry.. Patawarin mo ko, hindi ko talaga alam." She says, explaining. I think she's starting to panic now that she found out the truth. I can imagine her tears.
"Sshhh. Wala kang kasalanan. I'm the one responsible for all these. Ako naman gumagawa ng sarili kong kapalaran eh.. But... But I'm totally moved on now, Glai. I'm totally healed.. Kaya sana.. sana ikaw rin. Maging masaya na lang tayo sa isa't isa. I'm happy that you learned to love him. Please.. wag mong guluhin ang isip mo dahil lang sa nakita mo ko. You loved him for a reason... I can sense mahal ka niya talaga.. Kaya masaya ako para sayo.. kasi.. kasi natagpuan mo na yung pagmamahal na gusto mo.. yung karapat-dapat para sayo." Oh my.. really, Rhian?
"But Rhi..."
"Ayoko na makigulo.. Hindi ako bumalik ng Pinas para.. balikan yung satin.. o guluhin kayo ni Benjamin. Kaya please.. Glai. Alam ko, naguguluhan ka lang."
"Hindi.. Hindi ako naguguluhan lang. Alam ko kasi... alam ko.. mahal pa kita. H-Hindi mo na ba ko mahal, ha Rhian?"
I don't even know what to answer. I don't know anymore..
I still love you.. and there is never a single day that I don't.. but ya know sometimes, there are things that... are much better left unsaid.. just because you don't want things get even more complicated. "I'm sorry... A lot has changed Glai. After all these years, marami nang nagbago.. satin. And I already told you.. I'm.. totally moved on. So please maging masaya ka na lang with him.. Tama na."
She doesn't respond. I don't know what's on her mind. I can only hear her sobs. But I need to tell her that. Ayoko na ng gulo.. Ayoko na ng isa pang pagkakamali. Ayoko rin siya pahirapan. Ayoko na... I immediately open the door. I just wanna get out of the car.. right now. Ayoko na kasing makipag-usap pa.. baka mabawi ko pa lahat ng sinabi ko. "Best!" I shout. I just want to stay away from her.
"Bestie.." Thank God, bestie is just right there.
Hindi ko na alam kung anong nangyari.. When I stepped out of the car, hindi ko na siya nakausap pa....

That night..
"So, anong napag-usapan nyo? Bakit bigla kang nag-ayang uminom? Umamin ka nga.." Bianca asks. We're at the bar somewhere I don't know.
I drink all the booze up before answering. "She said she still loves me. I don't know if I should believe her."
"Hmm.. Really? So.. anong sinagot mo?"
I smirk. "That I'm moved on."
"What? Really, huh? Moved on daw.. Eh sira ka pala e."
"I know."
"You should've told her the truth. Just the fact na iniyakan mo siya nung malaman mong ikakasal na siya.. moved on ba matatawag mo dun?"
"I know. I know, okay? But please.. I have no choice.. 6 days na lang ikakasal na siya."
