Ikalabing Dalawang Kabanata - Susunod na Paghaharap

I groaned when I heard my alarm clock go off. Sh!t, why do I have to go to the company early this morning? I should have been able to lie down for an hour or two, but because of Ryosuke and Kenji, I couldn't.

I sat up, sighing. Napahawak ako sa leeg ko nang maramdaman ko na naman ang pamilyar na sakit nito. Hindi ito kasing intense ng kagabi, pero nagagawa pa rin nitong mapangiwi ako.

I should have been able to tolerate it since it's been five years since I felt this pain, but I couldn't. Since the very start, I couldn't tolerate it.

The pain I felt inside feels so much lalo na ngayong nasa iisang lugar ako with Takeru. I expected this to happen since before, but this is too much.

For the nth time, I sighed again.

I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom. I should get ready, or else, I'm going to be late.

I stayed up late last night not because I was reading the things needed for today's meeting but because of the mark on my nape. It wouldn't let me sleep even a wink.
