"RJ, di mo na kailangan mag-sorry." She said.

"W-why? Pinapatawad mo na ko?" He asked.

"Oo. Pero... Sana mapatawad mo ko sa gagawin ko?" She answered. RJ looked at her, and that gave her a sign to continue.

"RJ, kailangan na natin mag-hiwalay. I'm sorry." She said. RJ's heart broke into pieces.

"Bakit ang bilis?" He thought.

"Why? Is it because ipinagpalit mo na ko sa Mikael na yan?!" He yelled.

"RJ... Wag mong idamay si Mikael. Ako ang kusang pumili sakanya." She answered.

"Why, Maine? Why would you do this to me? What did I do wrong to you?" He asked, already crying.

"RJ, you did nothing. You're perfect. That's why I don't deserve to have someone like yo—"

"But I love you Maine!" He said.

"I'm sorry, RJ... Pero, buo na ang desisyon ko. Thank you sa lahat." She said. She left him, broken-hearted.

"Ang tanga ko. Ang tanga-tanga ko!" RJ yelled. He was at the bar with his friends, Kristoffer and Jerald.

"RJ, tama na yan... Baka palabasin ka pa dito." Kristoffer said.

"Ano bang ginawa kong mali? Sabihin nyo nga sakin! I gave her everything she wanted, pero hiniwalayan nya pa rin ako!" He said.

"RJ, tigilan mo na yan." Valeen warned.

"I'm sure there's a reason why she broke up with you, RJ. Wag kang magalit agad-agad." Joyce said calmly.

"Oo. Ipinagpali nya ko sa best friend nyang mukhang ewan. Paanong hindi magagalit, Joyce? Ang dami naming pinagsamahan, tas iiwan nya na lang ako dahil bumalik yung best friend nya?" He asked.

"Meng, ano bang nangyare sainyo ni RJ?" Valeen asked.

"We broke up." She answered. They were having lunch by the canteen, when Valeen decided to ask what happend.

"Bakit biglaan? Maine, hindi mo alam kung gaano na apektuhan si RJ." Joyce said. Maine sighed.

"There's nothing I can do. We've already broked up." She answered.

"Maine, you should apologize to him. Ang laking bagay na dumating sa buhay mo ang isang RJ Faulkerson." Valeen said.

"Kaya nga. Girl, kasangga mo sya nung nagaaway kayo ng mama mo. Sya yung nagpapasaya sayo tuwing nalulungkot ka. Pati nga pagkain, sagot na nya eh. Ano pang hinahanap mo? Parang asawa na ang turing nya sayo." Joyce continued.

"Mahal ko si Mikael. Hayaan nyo na lang ako, guys?" She answered to shut her friends.

"Pero seryoso, Menggay. You both need to talk, you need closure to clear things up. We're always here by your side as your friends. Remember that." Valeen reminded. Maine sighed once again.

"RJ, move on. She didn't deserve you. Sabi ko sayo dati pa na wag kang makikipag-relasyon sa Mendoza na yan." Rose said.

"Mom... Ang sakit eh.." RJ cried.

"Mana talaga sa nanay. Puro kalandian lang ang inaatupag." His mother complained.

"Mom, tama na. You're making it worse." He said.

"Bakit? Totoo naman diba? Eh teka, kala ko ba sinaktan ka ng babaeng yan? Bakit parang sya pang kinakampihan mo?" His mother asked.

RJ decided to not answer then he continued to cry.

"Your Tito called. Dadalhin ka daw nya sa Canada. Doon ka muna hanggang makapagtapos ka ng college. And I want you to take Business management, RJ." Rose announced.

"I'm sure pagbalik mo dito, naka-move one ka na sa anak ng Mendozang yun." His mother continued.

"I hope so.." He whispered.
