PROLOGUE

"HINDI KA PARIN PALA NAGBABAGO.."

Sunod sunod na pumatak ang luha ko. Akala ko nagbago na siya dahil nalaman niyang buntis ako pero ganon parin pala. I stare at him and memorizing every part of his face. I want to hate him. I want to take my revenge. I want him to die. But I love him and I can't stop my feelings and I can't stop my heart for choosing him again and again. How should I forget him when my heart still remembering every part of him?

"You still the playboy I know." My tears continue to fall. My heart can't take the pain anymore. And my mind can't function well.

"Scarlett,please..." His voice broke. Sinubukan niyang abutin ang mga kamay ko pero iniwas ko iyon. "Please.. I'm begging you.. D-don't leave me again.. I'll do anything! I'll make you a queen! If you want, I'll buy you a mansion or anything! J-just please.." His voice became desperate. Unti unti siyang bumagsak sa sahig. I saw his secretary leave the room for us to talk, privately. "J-just please, don't leave me..."

"Sana inisip mo 'yan bago ka lumandi sa iba! I gave you everything! P-pero.." Nabasag ang boses ko bago ko pa man matapos ang sasabihin. Katahimikan ang bumalot sa buong opisina at tanging hikbi at pagluha na lang namin ang maririnig.

"I love you, Scarlett.." He whispred between his sobs.

Hindi ko mapigilan ang mga kamay ko. I slapped him as strong as I can.

"That's for the pain you cause to me!" I slapped him again. Hindi man lang siya gumalaw o umangal. "That's for the tears I wasted just for you!"

"Slap me. Kick me. Punch me. Stabbed me a knife. You can do anything you want." He held my hand and forced me to slap him. Lalong bumuhos ang luha ko kahit pilitin kong huwag lumuha. "Gawin mo lahat! Huwag mo lang akong iiwanan.. You're my Everything, scarlett."

I want to forgive him and start a new life with him pero ang sakit na ang mismong pumipigil sa akin. Mahal na mahal ko siya pero hindi naman ako bato para hindi masaktan. Hindi naman lahat ng oras ay mahal ko siya. I also want a break. I also want to rest.

Tinitigan ko ang mukha niya. Sa tingin ko ito na ang huling sulyap ko sa kanya. Wala na. Tapos na kami.

His eyes was teary and his lips was trembling. Basang basa na rin ang pisngi niya dahil sa luhang sa mga mata niya mismo galing.

"Inaasahan ko na magbabago ka!" I shouted at his faced. It hurts but I need to endure it for my own sake. "I regreting that i agreed to our marriage."

"P-please, scarlett. Mahal mo ko diba? Mahal mo ako, eh. kaya ka pumayag. M-masaya ka s-sa akin." Pahina ng pahina ang boses niya at unti unting napapalitan iyon ng mga hikbi. "H-huwag naman ganto. T-tangina, mahal na mahal na mahal na mahal kita."

I don't want to hear anything from him, anymore. Kaysa piliing makinig sa kanya ay mas pinili kong tumalikod. Mas pinili kong umalis.

Hindi ko inaasahan na gagapang siya at yayakapin ang mga binti ko. Nang subukan kong kumawala, lalo niya lang iyon niyakap ng mahigpit.

"Don't leave me like this. Let's talk about us." He still crying while clinging on my feet.

I don't want to do this but he pushed me to do. I kick him hard, enough to let myself free from him. Hindi ko man naramdaman, alam kong masakit ang ginawa ko. Not physically but also emotionally. Dahil hindi lang ang katawan ko ang pinakawalan ko kundi ang lahat sa amin.

"I regret that i marry a playboy like you."
