"It's ironic that I call myself 'her savior' yet I couldn't save myself from falling for her." - Adrian Agravante Xavier

No communication at all.

Hindi na siya katulad ng dati. Hindi na kami nagkakausap o nagkakatinginan pa. Ramdam ko ang kirot sa puso ko tuwing dadalaw ako at makikita ko na lamang siyang lumalayo o hindi kaya nagkukunwaring may gagawin para lang may rason siya para iwasan ako.

Tuwing kakausapin ko siya, kita ko sa kanyang mga mata ang galit at lungkot bago niya ulit ako susubukang iwanan. I felt like the world had stopped. There was nothing more that I could do to fix this.

"Adrian, please."

I pleaded once more to apologize for what I had done. Kaso, hindi niya ako hinarap. Mas pinili niyang maging masaya nang wala ako. Kitang kita ko ang awa sa mukha ng tatlo tuwing makikita nila ako. It was almost routine for Adrian to ignore me.

"Adrian, ano ba ang gusto mong gawin ko?"

Ito ang huling tanong ko sa kanya. Ngayon ay agad niya akong hinarap at sinagot. Pero wala na ang ngiti at tawa na dati kong nakikita. Adrian, it had already been a week since this happened. Don't ignore me like this.

"Huwag mo akong kausapin. Wala ka nang magagawa pa. Just leave. Umalis ka sa buhay ko," sinabi niya sa akin bago ako tinulak palayo.

"Kagaya ka naman niya, hindi ba?" tanong pa niya habang umiling ako. No, he's my friend. I don't want him to just be like this to me forever.

"Adrian..." I trailed off as he then turned his back on me.

"Kung gusto mo akong bumalik sa dati, isa lang ang sasabihin ko," saad niya bago nanlaki ang mata ko sa kanyang sunod na sinabi.

"Don't choose spades or hearts when it comes to a game."

At alam ko na kaagad ang ibig sabihin niya. Nanahimik na lang ako nang iniwasan niya ulit ako pagkatapos. Hindi niya ulit ako tinitingnan at para lang akong hangin tuwing kakausapin ko siya.

Pero alam ko na dapat mapasaya ko siya kahit papaano. Alam ko na kahit gawin ko pa ang sinabi niya, mananatili ang galit niya sa akin. So, I'm going to find another way and not follow his order.

But right now, I couldn't do anything.

The King of Diamond has now fallen.
