Blurb:
Miala's ex, Lenard is coming back to her life after 3 years. How dare he? After cheating with her, he l...
After lola Roxy's revelation, ilang araw ding pumasok ng maaga si Miala. Ayaw niyang magsabay sila ni Lenard sa kahit saan. Ayaw niyang makita ito lalong-lalo na sa loob ng bahay.
She just can't stand being near him.
But after a few introspections, she kind of realized that she, too has her own liabilities in their relationship.
"Depota. Sure na sure na ako sa nararamdaman kong galit eh. Bakit nagdududa na naman ako ngayon? Bakit umabot na naman ako sa pagiisip na kasalanan ko na naman 'to?" She can't help but shout on herself at the mirror.
Totoo namang sobrang daldal niya about their Verde plans kay Lenard na in highsight, dapat nakita niya na hindi na maganda ang itsura nito.
Not even once, hindi niya tinanong si Lenard kung anong tingin nito sa plano niya tungkol sa Verde as they approach graduation because she thought okay na ang lahat. Akala niya ito ang magpapasaya dito. Ni hindi man lang niya naramdaman? And she considered herself a girlfriend?
Alam niya naman na kapag nasasaktan, nagiging selfish. Pero ano ba talagang nangyari sa kanila?
It was really difficult for her, but she came to a point na parang tinatanggap niya na na kailangan na nga nilang mag-usap ni Lenard.
She stopped going out early. She started waiting a little longer in the sala at night. Kahit sa umaga, before her classes, medyo nagpapalate na siya.
"Parang tanga. Parang tanga. Hindi ka babaeng marupok. Hindi mo na siya mahal.
But even at school, kung palaging nagmamadali siya papunta sa next class, she started taking a stroll. Para na talaga siyang tanga.
Pero as usual, nananadya pa rin ang tadhana sa kanya.
He hasn't seen Lenard for the longest time dahil hindi sila nagaabot and she heard he has so many stints.
Kaya ayan na naman si Miala. Bumalik na naman siya sa downward spiral niya kung saan iniisip niya na baka masyado na rin nga siyang naging masama. Kahit papaano lumambot siya.
She was about to dial Lenard's phone number para tawagain ito and demand his explanation, when Jane's call came through.
"Janey?" Sagot niya dito.
At hindi niya inaasahan ang balitang sinabi nito.

Sobrang bilis ng takbo ni Miala papasok sa ospital. Hinanap niya agad ang sinabing kwarto ni Jane. Hindi niya inexpect ang lahat. Hindi niya alam na may dinadala at pinagdadaanan ang mag-asawa.
Sinugod si Tom sa ospital due to the complications of his bladder cancer.
"Jane?" Nakita niya agad si Jane sa labas ng kwarto ni Tom. She tried to smile towards Miala. And from there Mia knew na matagal na nitong alam.
