NEVER LOVE A BROKEN PERSON

Jayvee: You are getting colder, my attorney.

Nikka: Hahaha. There's always a reason why a woman gets colder, Jayvee.

Jayvee: What's the problem, love?

Nikka: I saw you with your ex, Jayvee. Hahaha. But that's okay. As long as you are mine and everything is okay for me.

Jayvee: I'm sorry, Nikka. Sorry kung hindi ko sinabi sa 'yo na may communication pa kami.

Nikka: Five years na ang meron tayo at may anak na tayo, Jayvee. Please don't waste it.

Jayvee: I'm really sorry love but I just want to be honest with you because lately, I started to question myself, minahal ba talaga kita? Kasi may nabasa akong infatuation can be that long.

Nikka: Hahaha. For freaking five years? Infatuation lang lahat 'to? You proposed and married to me and you even gave me a baby and you are telling that you are just infatuated with me? That's bullshit! Please give me an acceptable reason next time, Jayvee. I am an attorney and you can't fool me.

Jayvee: I'm still in love with my ex, is that an enough reason to let you go?

Nikka: We have a son, Jayvee so don't you ever dare to come back to your ex and leave me! I'm begging you.

Jayvee: Hindi naman ako aalis sa puder mo but that doesn't mean I am choosing you over my ex. I just chose our child, Nikka. That's it.

Hindi ko na kinayang basahin ang convo nila at binigay ko na kay Ate ang phone niya. Sobrang basa na ng mga mata ko sa kaiiyak. Napatingin ako kay Ate and for the first time in years, I saw her crying.

"That's the life you will have if you love a broken person, Anna. Because based on my experience, I'm just a stop over in his life, giving him shelter while waiting his destiny to come out. So next time, never love again a broken person. Because it's either you will fixed them or you're the one who will get broken at the end. And when you get broken, who would fix you? None! You are lucky because you are still young and you can still find a man who can love you without any other woman or sidechick on the story. Because as for me, I am already married with a broken man. So learn from my experience, Anna. Choose the love that is for you and choose the love that chooses you everyday because you deserve that. Every woman deserves that kind of love."

Iyak lamang ng iyak si Ate sa harap ko habang ako ay namamanhid na sa sakit. She cupped my face as she spoke her last words.

"And that is an advice from an attorney. Isang attorney na pinaglalaban ang karapatan ng iba, pero hindi magawang ipaglaban ang pagmamahalan naming dalawa."
