Author's note
haha sorry if it took too long before writing VINCENT'S POV. I don't find it necessary naman. From this point I'll try to write his POV. Thanks for reading.

Vincent's POV
I walked outside the building with a grumpy mood. It's been four days since Mau broke up with me.
Juliet seriously didn't came to work after that day.
"San tayo bro?" tanong ni Jerome nang makarating na ako sa parking lot.
"Bar" I answered.
Sumakay na kami sa kotse at inistart nya na yun.
"Bro, don't you think it's a little bit too much for Juli?" he said while driving.
Napakunot noo ako. "Is it?"
He slowly nod. "Maybe."
"Why would you say that? She's the reason why Mau hates me." I looked outside the car.
Hindi umimik si Jerome.
I turned the stereo on, not planning to have any conversation again.
He turned it off.
Napatingin ako sa kanya. "Why?"
"Juli is right. You should man up." he said.
"What? Anong gusto mong sabihin?" tanong ko.
"It's not her fault. Sino ba ang nambuntis at umiwas kay Ella in the first place? Kung kinausap mo sya agad, hindi hahantong sa ganito ang lahat." sermon nya.
"Pati ba naman ikaw ganyan mag isip? O sige na. Kasalanan ko na lahat!" naiinis na sabi ko.
"Payong kaibigan lang tol. Puntahan mo si Juli. Ilang taon sa iyo umikot ang mundo nya. Yung friendship nyo, sobrang tagal na. Dahil sa isang babae nagkakaganyan ka.." he stopped at red light.
"Hindi kasi isang babae lang si Mau, tol. She's the one for me. I can throw away everything just for her." sagot ko.
"Are you sure? Do you have time to check yourself?" tumingin sya sa akin. "Anong nagustuhan mo sa kanya? Particularly the looks. Isipin mo anong hinahanap mo sa mga babae, bakit palit ka ng palit?"
Napaisip ako sa sinabi nya. Ano nga ba?
"Ilang taon na tayong magkakasama. Base on my observation, you liked girls that have similarities with Juliet, don't you?" nag green light na at umandar na ulit ang kotse.
"Ofcourse not!" tanggi ko.
"Of course yes. Kaya nga palit ka ng palit ng girlfriends kasi wala sa kanila yung katangian na si Juliet lang ang meron. Until Maureen came. They have the closest similarity. That's why you think she's the one for you. Pero di mo maloloko ang sarili mo, Vince."
Hindi ako nakaimik. Is that right? Then why I never thought about it?
Kinabig nya ang manibela at tinahak ang daan papunta sa bahay ni Juliet. Hindi na ako nagreklamo pa.
I admit namimiss mo na si munchkin, pero galit ako sa kanya. Ano naman kayang pag uusapan namin?
Sigurado akong magso-sorry sya. Tatanggapin ko ba yun? Nagyong wala na si Mau sa buhay ko?
We stopped in front of a simple two-storey house. Nagdoorbell si Jerome.
It just keeps on ringing. We stayed outside for five minutes hanggang may lumapit sa amin.
"Mga iho, hinahanap nyo ba yung dalagang nakatira dyan?" tanong ng kapitbahay ni Juliet.
"Opo. Nandito po kaya sya?" Jerome does all the work.
"Ay, kahapon dinala sa ospital. Balita ko eh ilang araw nang nagmumukmok dyan sa loob. Napakaputla, tingin ko naglason yung batang yun" kwento nito.
Medyo ok naman din pala kung may tsismosang kapitbahay. Parehas kaming natigagal ni Jerome.
"Saang ospital po kaya dinala?"
Umiling ang babae tanda na hindi nito alam kung saan.
