"I didn't love you not even a tiny bit. I realized that I courted you because I feel challenged since you're playing hard to get. I like that new thrill."seryosong usal nya and he even shrugged like it was nothing. "I deeply regret courting you. I wasted my time on a Peasant like you" dagdag nya pa.

"Bastard! You're talking with your fuckin' girlfriend, the mother of your unborn child at that! How dare you say such hurtful nonsense !" sigaw ni Peiter at lalapit sana sya kay Ian pero pinigilan sya nang mga kaibigan nya.

Bahagya namang napatawa si Ian at tinitigan nya ako. "Honestly, you're not even beautiful to begin with and I'm sick and tired of you. Look at your self, so fuckin' ugly yet you want to stick around with me? How shameless"

"Do you think I wouldn't dare to strangle you? Open your eyes wide! She's carrying your child! How bastardy of you to spout those shits!" Sigaw ni Reggy and he was about to strangle Ian pero pinigilan sya nang mga kaibigan nya.

"That child was a mistake. Who knows if she planned everything for me to impregnate her. That way, she could easily covet our family fortune" he looked at me with disgust at agad namang tumulo ang luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan.

Halata namang naaawa na sa akin ang mga kaibigan ni Ian.

"Ian, am I that worthless to you? Ganyan ba talaga ang tingin mo sa akin?" I was hurting and I know I look like a mess while crying.

His words was too painful for me to take.

Pakiramdam ko ibang tao ang nasa harap ko ngayon. My Ian wouldn't hurt me like this.

"Do you honestly think that I'll be attracted to such an-ugly person like you? When I'm having sexual intercourse with you, do you know how disgusted I am? In order to touch you I made my self think of someone else" diretsyong sagot nya kaya agad akong napaupo sa sahig habang umiiyak.

"Paano na si baby?" mahinang usal ko.

"Baby? Tss! Sa tingin mo pananagutan kita? Are you out of your mind?" sabi nya na para bang nandidiri pa. "I'd rather impregnate a prostitute and take the full responsibility on her than to take care of you and that mistake of a child"

Himinga ako nang malalim at tinitigan ko sya bago ako ngumiti.

"Thank you for telling me the truth. I love you so much, Ian. I really do." Niyakap ko sya nang mahigpit and I kissed him on his forehead habang patuloy na umaagos ang mga luha ko. "I'm sorry for being a burden to you" bulong ko sa kanya.

This is the man that I loved, the father of my child. Can you imagine how painful it is to know the truth? He doesn't even want our baby.

I grabbed his hand and I placed it on my large tummy.

"This-mistake of a child will never know that you are his father. He won't acknowledge you. I'm setting you free, Ian." lumayo ako sa kanya at tinalikuran ko na sya.

"Welcome" walang ganang sagot nya.

"What a disappointment! Are you really this stupid?" sigaw ni Rick then susuntukin na nya sana si Ian kaso pinigilan sya ni Reggy at Mark.

"Why are you meddling with them? Just let him be like that! We've done our part as his friends. It's time for us to step back and let him handle his affairs!" sigaw ni Mark kaya napatigil ang mga kaibigan nya.

I sighed heavily then I turned back at nilapitan ko si Ian and I slapped him.

"That's for hurting me and neglecting me when I needed you the most" I slapped him again and now there's two red handprints on his face. "That's for your friends"

I left after saying that.

I left the man who should've know better than anyone that I hate those man who would left their woman like a piece of trash.

I should've known better that I shouldn't have a relationship with someone that is out of my league.

My dad was the very first man that I hated. He left my Mama to marry someone with same status as his.

Napaupo naman ako sa harap nang bar na iyon and I cried.

Why do I need to experience this pain?

What am I gonna do now?

I left my Mama without a word for a long time at hindi nya pa din alam na buntis ako.

"Here... I think you need this" usal nang isang lalake habang iniaabot nya sa akin ang isang puting panyo.

I hesitated for a moment bago ko kunin ang panyo na ibinibigay nya sa akin. "Thank you" mahinang usal ko at pinunasan ko ang mukha ko.

"You shouldn't stay outside. It's cold and it's not good for you since you're pregnant" tinulungan nya ako tumayo at napayuko naman ako.

"You look sad. Nakita ko yung nangyari kanina. If you need someone to talk to then I can lend you some of my time" sabi nya. I look at him and mukha namang sincere sya.

"Let's go to our garden" sabi nya then hinila na nya ako papunta sa garden nila.

"I don't want to share my problems to a stranger" pagtanggi ko kaagad habang pinupunasan ang mga luha ko.

Actually, I really need someone to comfort me.

"It's not like I'm a stranger to you. I'm Ghelo Jherole Sanchez. Remember me? Isinakay kita dati sa motor ko. Umuulan that time at may dala kang mga books" paalala ni Ghelo and it took me some time bago ko ito maalala.

"Oh, it's you" sabi ko habang tuloy tuloy ang pag patak nang luha ko. That time I borrowed a book from the library. That was when I was just about to teach Ian..

"I'm the manager here. Anyway, you fought with that guy? What are gonna do now? You're pregnant and your boyfriend left you" nag aalalang usal nya.

"I don't know... I really don't know" muli na naman akong napaiyak dahil sa sakut nang nararamdaman ko.

I never experienced something so painful like. This is new to me and I never want to go through this once more.

Ian used to wipe my tears away whenever I cry but now, He's the reason why I'm crying and wiping my tears alone.

Nahihiya na ako kay Ghelo kasi hindi naman kami close but here I am, crying my heart out to him.
