From: Jennyvie Insag

Isa ka rin ba sa biktima nang mga kasabihang..

"It's not you, it's me."

"You deserve someone better."

"Let's break up. We are not happy anymore."

Kasi kong oo, apir friend! Pareho tayo. It was supposed to be a happy day for the both of us. We were about to celebrate our anniversary but why did you gave me a heartbreaking gift? We were more than okay. Or so I thought.

"Let's break up. I'm sorry." Natigilan ako. Tinitigan kita ng mabuti baka kasi nag jo-joke ka lang. Tumawa ako ng malakas para pigilan ang luha ko.

"Ang ganda ng joke mo, babe." Sabi ko pero hindi mo ko sinabayan. Mas sumeryoso ka pa nga.

"Vienez, I'm serious."

"Bakit?" Tanong ko. Bexter heaved a sigh.

"It's not you, it's me. And I think you deserve someone better." That line. Gasgas na yan, e.

"Paano mo nasabi? Bexter bakit?"

"Because he can make you happier. Not me. I can't make you happy." Kumunot ang noo ko. What is this? Anong issue ba to?

"He? Sinong he?"

"Si Aljon. Alam ko mas sasaya ka sa piling niya, I'm letting you go. Dapat nga mas magpasalamat ka pa sa akin."

"Aljon?! Anong kinalaman niya dito? We are just friends."

"I don't know." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Best friend ko siya, boyfriend kita. Anong hindi mo alam? Napag-usapan na natin 'to di ba?"

"Hindi ka seryoso sa akin." Natahimik ako. Hindi ako sweet na girlfriend pero kailanman ay hindi ko pinaramdam sa kanya na hindi siya importante.

"Aabot ba tayo ng isang taon kung hindi ako seryoso sayo?"

"Basta. Hindi na ko masaya. I'm sorry Venice and happy anniversary." Mabilis siyang tumayo at lumayo. Iniwan niya kong mag-isa dito sa park, dito kung saan kami unang nagkakilala. What a HAPPY anniversary indeed.

"Kaya pala ang bitter mo, friend." I rolled my eyes at Regina.

"Hindi no! I already moved on."

"Okay, ilang taon ka nang single?"

"6 years and counting."

"Tagal na rin pala. May balita ka about sa kanya?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"For the past 6 years? Wala."

"How about Aljon? Friends pa rin kayo?"

"Syempre naman, when I told him about it gusto sana niyang puntahan si Bexter to explain but I refused. There is nothing to explain kasi hindi naman totoo and I'm not that desperate. My pride hurts more than my heart."
