ANNOYANCE AND DISAPPOINTMENTS. I didn't knock and just went in, she was eating some junk food while watching television. She rolled her eyes at me, but I looked at her seriously. "Danica." "Danica! Danica! Sinabi na ngang bab--y-" "Why did you do that?" I crossed my arms, I don't want to raise my voice at her as long as I can be calm, I knew her, she is sensitive. She would cry for sure when I yelled at her, and it hurts me when I'm seeing her crying. "Huh? Did what?" "Stop acting that you don't get what I mean. Why did you do that? Why did you steal money from the company? Danica, I can give you, why did you do that?" She seemed to feel something and realized. She suddenly let go of her food, and she cried. "A-Ano bang sinasabi mo? That money is given by my daddy! Bakit mo ba ako pinagdududahan? Akala ko ba mahal mo ako?" "What the? Our relationship is out of what you did! I'm asking you why you have to steal money? Do you think that's right? And I don't doubt you! Someone saw you! Someone saw what you did, what the hell will others tell about you if they knew what you did!?" She couldn't answer, she just cried out loud, I could also see her clinging to the bedsheet. "Kita ka na, Danica. Aamin ka na lang hindi mo pa magawa." "N-Not m-me..." "Danica, I'm really upset! I was stressed yesterday, especially at work, why did you add more problem? Galit ka ba? May ayaw ka ba?" She wiped away her tears and stood close to me, "S-So are you saying I'm one of your problems? Na dumadagdag lang ako sa mga problema mo? Is that so, Clev? Is that why you are losing time with me?" I rubbed my hands on my face. "Am I wasting time with you?! I've got almost all my attention on you! When did I not give you what you wanted, Danica? It's just that... why do you have to make money!? Why are you changing the topic?! Can't you answer that!?" "Hindi nga ako sabi 'yung nagnakaw!" She covered her face with her hand. "Someone did see you! Philip saw you and matched the fingerprint they got on the opening of the locker! Do you think you can lie? Just admit it, why you can't do that? Are you guilty?!" She didn't answer, he just kept sobbing, I approached her and grabbed her arm, and I forced her to face me. "Look at me," but she didn't remove her hands from her face. "I said, Look at me! Don't make me mad!" she looked at me, she was shaking. "Tell me what's your reason? Why did you do that, Danica? I trust you so much. Why do you making a reason to lose it?!" "K-Kasi, gusto ko lang naman mabili 'yung gusto kong kotse, nahihiya akong manghingi sa 'yo, wala rin namang maibigay si daddy sa akin." "Hindi ba mas nakakahiya yung ginawa mo?! Didn't you think about what you did?! Padalos-dalos ka, Danica," I said in desbelief. She did not speak and she just looked down. I shook my head. "Naiinis ako sa 'yo. I bought everything for you, what else do you want?! I have a lot of cars there, you can choose! Nakaka-disappoint!" "G-Gusto ko nga 'yung binili ko ngayon, e, bakit ba pati ikaw kumokontra? 'Yun lang naman ang magpapasaya sa akin, eh." "Hindi kita kinokontra! Ang akin lang, why didn't you tell me?! I can make a way! 20 million for a car? You even beat my cars. Ang gastos-gastos mo. Hindi mo man lang ba naisip kung gaano ako napapagod sa pera na kinuha mo? If you think I'm very wealthy, Danica, not really! All my money it's for only the company! I don't have it. My daddy has that money! The rest of his money, I'm not using it for anything, kaya nga hindi ko 'yon binabawasan." "Edi sorry! Malay ko bang sa daddy mo 'yon! 'Wag ka mag-aalala babayaran ko na lang! Ibebenta ko ulit 'yung kotse! Ang damot mo! Ganyan ka! Ipapabayad ko na lang din kay dad 'yung PERA ng daddy mo!" "DANICA! Pinapalala mo 'yung sitwasyon!" "Edi ako na lang 'yung may kasalanan! Ako naman lagi, e! Kaya lang ako nagiging ganito dahil sa 'yo!" "What the hell? Ano bang ginawa ko sa 'yo?!" "Buti pa 'yung ate at mama mo e, nabibili mo ng kahit anong bulaklak, ako 'yung mga cheap lang yung binibigay mo!" "Because that's what they loved! Because they deserve some flowers. And for you information, galing lang sa garden namin ang ibinibigay ko. Expensive yung sa 'yo if you don't know! Why are you comparing yourself to the dead persons?!" "Dahil pinapakita mo naman na mahal mo sila kumpara sa akin! Edi do'n ka na sakanila! Doon ka na sa mga magulang mo at mga kapatid mo! Sila na lang ang mahalin mo! Ako lang 'yung nandito sa tabi mo tapos parang mas nabibigyan mo sila ng maraming atensyon!" "Tangina! Pamilya ko sila, Danica. Anong gusto mong maramdaman ko?!" "Damn! Kung sino pa 'yung mga patay, sila pa yung mas nabibigyan ng oras! Mga paimportante! Mabuti nga wala na sila! Buti nga sa kanila wala na sila!" As if my feet had their own mind to approach. I slapped her, dahilan para bumaling ang ulo niya sa side. My hands are shaking. I was so angry. I don't like all the hurtful words that she have said to my family. Ilang segundo ang nakalipas nang mapagtanto kong nakaupo siya habang hawak niya ang pisngi niya. My eyes widened and quickly approached her to stand her up. "B-Babe, I'm sorry it's not my intention to hurt you, it's just that I didn't like what you have said. Please, I'm sorry," I caressed her swollen face. I wanna cry. I hurt her, I didn't mean it. s**t, nakaya kong saktan ang mahal ko. I was just carried away by my anger. Nadala lang din ako sa mga problema na kinakaharap ko. "I-I hate you, Clev! I hate you! You're able to hurt me now, you didn't love me anymore! I hate you!" "N-No, baby, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you, I love you so much. Please, forgive me." Para akong binuhusan ng malamig ba tubig. I'm so nervous too, I can't imagine that I hurt my girlfriend. I don't want to lose her to me, I love her very much, no matter what else she does, I will forgive her. I just don't let her leave me. "No! I hate you! Ang sama-sama mo!" She pushed me hard, and she ran out of the room. I quickly chased her and hugged her from the back. "Baby, I'm sorry! Please, I won't do it again. I'll forget what you did. I'll forget that just please, forgive me. I didn't mean it, I was just carried away by my anger." "Let me go! Let me go!" "Ah! F*ck!" I let her go because of her painful bite on my hand, I tried to chase her but she was already in her car. "DANICA!" Unti-unting nawawala ang sasakyan sa paningin ko. I laid myself on the floor. I can't move properly, so much is bothering my mind. I feel like I'm going to die. Para akong naubusan ng baterya. Sobrang bigat sa pakiramdam. END OF FLASHBACK She stopped wanting to see me, talk to me, avoid me when I went to her, and she also stopped wanting to listen to me after that day. Kinalimutan ko ang pagnanakaw niyang ginawa. Then she ended our relationship. I did my best to console her. I ran after her. I've been acting foolish by pursuing and comforting her, but it's f*****g useless. Nagsayang lang ako ng oras kakahabol sa kanya dahil wala akong napala. One of my problems is this, the love. Women are the same, so I now regret getting involved with one. They f*cking don't understand me or my feelings. All they care about is getting rich and buying nice stuff, same to Danica. I can still remember giving her flowers, which as she said they were cheap. Those flowers belonged to my mother, who used to care for them every day. Kaya ayaw ko ng magmahal. Mahirap, sobra. Lahat isasakripisyo mo, mawawala na 'yung priyoridad mo sa buhay kapag nakafocus ka sa isang tao. I thought Danica will be my last, she is the one I will marry, she is the woman I will be with for the rest of my life. But, I was wrong. "Hindi mo na ba ako mahal? Mahal mo na ba 'yung fiancé mo? B-Baka naman na obsessed ka lang sa kaniya, baka nagandahan ka lang o ano, baka inakit ka lang niya o pinilit mo lang ang sarili mo na magkaroon ng nobya kahit ayaw mo. Handa pa kitang tanggapin, handa na akong makinig sayo," natawa ako sa sinabi niya. Funny, so f*ckng funny. After all, she can still say that in front of me. "Can you hear what you're saying? You're the one who will accept me? Uh! And you're asking me if I still love you? Yes! I f*****g do! I do love you so much, Danica! You still are! I can't lose you in my heart, but I just realized why should I continue to love you? Why should I come back to you? Why? Are you proving to yourself that you are changing from what you did when we were still together?" She bowed to me and tearfully shook her head. "Think, Danica! You got me crazy the first time, you know... I f*****g ignored all the accusations from my friends to me because I don't want to believe them. All I know is you're not that kind of woman! I ignored your theft of money was taken a months ago, and I didn't pay more attention to that because that's what caused our separation! I let you have the ones you want. I let you make friends with other guys. I let you buy the ones you want. I don't want you tightened because I don't want you to strangle! But what did you do?! Then you say you're going to listen to me now? What are you thinking? Do you think I wasn't tired of chasing you before?" I sighed heavily and covered my face because of frustration. "I tried to explain to you, didn't I? I tried to fix our relationship! But what did you do? You didn't listen. You left me, and then I heard that you had a new guy right away?! What the hell Danica!? What do you think of me? Tanga?" I couldn't stop the tears from dripping from my eyes. It hurts me even more now as I think about the past. "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry! Please I'll promise, magbabago ako para sa 'yo, hindi na ako magiging katulad ng dati. I-I swear, baby, hindi ko na uulitin 'yun, babaguhin ko na ang sarili ko, please? Bumalik ka na sanakin," she begged and held my hand again. "Ang pagbabago hindi sinasabi, kusang ginagawa 'yan." Just like what happened, kusa akong nag-bago. "I-Iwanan mo na 'yung fiancé mo at bumalik ka na sa akin. S-Selos na selos ako noong party niyo, d-dapat ako 'yung nasa harap na pinapakilala mo sa lahat, e. Dapat ako 'yung hinahalikan mo, dapat ako 'yung may singsing na galing sa 'yo, e," garalgal na boses niyang sabi. I bit my lower lip, napapikit ako ng mariin. Hinawakan ko siya sa magkabila niyang balikat at hinarap siya. I need to make her think that I don't want to get back to her anymore. I'm tired, I don't want to go back to the past. I realized the truth, she doesn't deserve my love. "I'm not coming back to you! Uh! Yes, I do love you but it doesn't mean we have to be together again. Iniwan mo na ako noong una at hindi malayong gagawin mo rin ulit 'yon. I know you, just a little things will make you angry! Kaagad mong inaatrasan ang pag-aaway natin! You don't fix everything, it's just me all the time! I'm tired too Danica! Call me heartless, but deep inside, I'm soft-hearted, Danica, you know that! I also have a feeling. I hope you thought of me too. Hindi mo rin naisip ang mararamdaman ko nung iniwan mo ako." I sat on her bed, I was getting soft, it seemed like I couldn't stand for long. "It's too much pain to be left by someone you loved, Danica. My family has left me, including you. What do you think of me? Walang pakiramdam? Is it because I'm like this? Is it because I'm hurting people, I have no right to be hurt? Is that so?" She didn't answer me, sinabayan niya lang ang pag-iyak ko. Now, you're realizing what you did. "You made the reason for our separation Danica. You. I'm not," I stood up. I wiped away my tears, I can't look weak in front of her. I sighed deeply and I wore my cold gaze. "And one more thing, I will never leave my fiancé just because of you. Who do you think you are to control my decision huh!? You won't fool me anymore, Danica, not anymore." She held my hand to stopped me from walking away. "P-Please, Danica, let me go. I don't want to see you again. Let's just accept everything." I let go of her hand and was about to leave when she suddenly pulled me closer and kissed me on my lips. Matapos ng ilang buwan, I just felt her lips now, I used to want to kiss her. But from what happened, I'm not happy, I'm not happy with the kiss she did to me. It's not like before that just one kiss she would make me blush, now, it's gone, everything is gone. I quickly pushed her away but I suddenly catch her. Na-opera pala siya at baka may mangyaring hindi maganda. Kaagad ko siyang binitawan. I wiped my lips, I was disgusted. I glared at her. Did she forgot that someone else got her pregnant? "Don't you dare to kiss me again, I might forget you're a woman." I coldly said. I looked at her from head to toe, she looked so pale. I sighed. I turned back on her and left her condo but surprisingly her boyfriend is there. What a coincidence. "You." I looked at him like he was the most useless person in the world. I didn't answer him and passed him but he grabbed my collar. "Kinakausap kita!" I hold his fist at pabato ko itong tinanggal galing sa kwelyo ko. Muntikan pa siyang mapaupo. "Don't touch me. Who do you think you are? Make sure your hands are clean first before you touch me." "What are you doing here? Bakit ka nasa condo ni Danica!? What did you do you two?! Are you cheating on your fiancé? Wow, sa lahat ng bagong engage, ikaw lang 'yung kilala kong manloloko na agad." I stay calmed. Hangga't nakakaya ko pang kumalma, magpasalamat siya. Kapag ako sumabog na talaga, sasabog din ang ulo niya.
