"I am going to leave because this is the only choice I have and not because I don't love you anymore. I love you Cloud... I love you so much but I don't want you to be an irresponsible father to your child. Maybe we are not really meant for each other at baka hanggang dito na lang tayo. Thank you for loving me Cloud. Thank you for choosing me for the second time but I think... this is the end of our story. Kapag nakita mo 'ko o nakabanggaan sa future, puwede bang huwag na huwag mo 'kong papansinin? Maipapangako mo ba 'yun? Don't worry, I'll do the same. Let's just treat each other like a strangers para na rin sa ikatatahimik ng lahat. Be good father to your child, okay? Good bye," I stated. Muli kong binuhat ang maleta ko 'tsaka ko siya iniwan. Good thing, he didn't follow me anymore.

Pagkalabas ko naman ng kuwarto ay naabutan ko si Aileen na naka-crossed arms. She's really happy for what happened between me and Cloud lalo na ngayong tuluyan na kaming maghihiwalay ng landas.

"You're leaving?" she asked.

"This is what you want, right?" I replied.

"Come on, Amethyst! Stop acting like innocent. Sa kuwentong ito, hindi ba't ikaw naman talaga an home wrecker in the first place? I am just getting back what's mine."

"So masaya ka na ba niyan? You already won so congrats."

"Well, thank you. Don't worry, I'll make sure na magiging masaya si Cloud sa pamilyang bubuuhin namin kasama ang magiging baby namin," she happily said.

"You know what... gustung-gusto kitang sampalin ngayon. Pasalamat ka lang dahil buntis ka. Gustung-gusto kitang saktan sa totoo lang. Kahit sa huling pagkakataon man lang sana."

"Oh, I'm so sorry for that. Bawal kasi akong ma-stress e, hayaan mo kapag nagkita tayo after ko maipanganak 'tong BABY NAMIN NI CLOUD, I'll give you time for that so you can rest in peace," nang-aasar pang sagot niya.

I just clenched my fist and gritted my teeth in anger because I can't do anything kahit gustung-gusto ko na siyang kalbuhin. In the end, pilit ko lang siyang nginitian bago ko siya iniwan.

Sinalubong ako ng tatlong itlog sa labas ng pent house and they all looked so worried but I told them that I'm okay. Although deep down inside of me is slowly dying. Trish wanted to go back to Manila with me but I told her to stay and enjoy her vacation as well as Carl and Cullen.

Nag-insist si Carl na ihatid ako pabalik ng Manila since gabi na rin at ayaw nila 'kong payagan na mag-bus na lang at mag-commute.

"Are you.. really going to give up?" Carl asked, taking a single glance on me because he's driving.

"Hmm. Because that's the only choice I have," I answered.

"Pero Amethyst, puwede namang panagutan ni Cloud 'yung bata ng hindi pinapakasalan si Aileen--"

"I don't think that's right. Ayokong ako ang maging dahilan para lumaki 'yung bata sa broken family."

"Pero paano ka?"

"Move on?"

"You think kaya niyong kalimutan ni Cloud ang isa't isa?"

"Actually, nakalimutan na niya 'ko," I joked just to lighten up the mood.

"Pero hindi ka nakalimutan ng puso niya."

"Makakalimutan niya rin ako," sagot ko na mabilis pinunasan ang mga luhang lumandas sa aking pisngi. Itinuon ko na lang ang aking atensiyon sa labas ng bintana.
