Third Person's Point Of View

"Let's break up."

Wow.

Anniversary namin and that is the very first thing he said to me. Wala man lang, ' hello mahal, I love you pero alam mo ba, ang love ay parang buhay, aabot talaga tayo sa punto kung kailan kailangan nang tapusin. '

"Why?" she asked him and look straight into his eyes.

'Wag na 'wag niya akong bigyan ng gasgas na line na 'It's not you, it's me' baka masapak ko ang mokong 'to.

"Ayoko na, gusto ko nang tapusin ang relasyon natin." sagot nito. Nagtitigan lang silang dalawa habang nakaupo sa lamesa na puno ng mga pagkain, cake, balloons at gifts na hinanda ni Eliza para sa lalaki.

"Bakit? May nahanap ka na bang iba? " pilit niyang inayos ang boses niya para hindi mahalata na naiiyak na siya.

They've been together for 3 years and he was the very first boyfriend na sineryoso niya kahit na patago amg relasyon nila, pero wala talagang forever. Mahal nila ang isa't isa pero matatapos pa 'rin pala. Oh, baka siya lang ang nagmahal ng tunay sa relasyon na ito.

She waited for his answers but instead, he looked away. A tear fell from her eyes at dali-dali niya 'tong pinahid. He doesnt deserve her tears.

"I'm so sorry Eliza, it's not you, it's me."

Lintik naman, oh! Wala na ba siyang ibang excuse na masasabi? We've been together for how many years and he will end our relationship with the lamest excuse? Is he being serious right now?!

"You think it's an excuse pero nagsasabi ako ng totoo."

Sino ang maloloko niya, kilala niya ang lalaki ,  alam niya kung kailan ito nagsisinungaling at nagsasabi ng totoo, and at this very moment she know he is just lying. Napangiti siya ng mapait. Masakit pala.

"You know what, fine. Let's break up." she frimly said and stood up. Eliza held her chin up as she left the restaurant. Pagkaapak niya sa labas ay dahan-dahang nahulog ang mga luha sa mata niya. 

Three years of happiness is ended up by a stupid lame excuse. What went wrong? We were a perfect match. We always agree on things at minsan lang kami mag-aaway, we resolved problems before going to sleep. Mahal namin ang isa't isa at kasal nalang sana ang kulang.

Saan ako nagkamali...

Ano ang nagawa kong mali? May nagawa ba akong masama? Ayaw na ba niya sa akin?  May nahanap ba siyang iba? Bakit? Kulang pa ba? Hindi ba ako maganda? 'Bat nakipag break siya? Hindi na ba siya masaya sa akin?

"Give me a bottle of the strongest alcohol you have here."

Her judgements of herself was stopped when she heard a familiar voice. Nasa bar counter siya ng isang kilalang bar sa lugar. Dito na siya dumiretso pagkatapos ng breaking up scene nila kanina.
