(isang taon bago ang graduation nila Eigh, madalang nagparamdam sa kanya si Ryuu, minimiscol nya ito, ineemail, inoofline message sah chat, at tinetext nya ngunit walang sumagot. Sa bahay ni Ghiee isang linggo ng umaga, nagpunta ang Knights and Princesses, pagkatapos biglang tumawag si Akira kay Eigh.)
Eigh: uhm, guys I need to get this call...
Ghie: is it Ryuu already?
Eigh: I wish, but it's a friend of ours... remember Akira?
Ghie: uhm, yah... okay go ahead now.
(lumabas si Eigh sa bahay nila Ghie at sinagot ang tawag.)
Aki: hey Eigh!
Eigh: Aki! Hi! How's the lot there?
Aki: they are great... How about there?
Eigh: still great!
Aki: uhm, there's something I need to talk to you about...
Eigh: uhm, okay.
Aki: it's about Ryuu.
Eigh: oh yah, by the way, kindly tell him I am trying to reach him but I can't, is he busy or anything?
Aki: uhm, that's what I want you to know Eigh.
Eigh: okay, so what about Ryuu?
Aki: uhm... I really don't know how to start it...
Eigh: start it anyway you want... haha,
Aki: Eigh... I know you two are engaged already... uhm..
Eigh: what about it?
Aki: uhm, Eigh, the reason why Ryuu haven't catched up with you lately...
Eigh: uhm, why? Aki? Aki?
Aki: Eigh, Ryuu's dating...
(napatahimik si Eigh.)
Eigh: nice try... haha!
Aki: Eigh, I am serious, he's dating Finn, one of the richest girl in our country... they are dating for about months now... and I think, they are already in a relationship...
(umuiyak na si Eigh, dahil kahit nagmamatapan sya minsan, mababaw talaga ang luha nya. Pinipigilan nya ang pag-iyak para hindi ito marinig ni Akira.)
Eigh: ow... I see... one of the richest girl, is it?
Aki: yah... Eigh, I tried to stop him...
Eigh: it's fine...
(sagot ni Eigh habang tinitingnan ang singsing sa kamay nya.)
Aki: Eigh, it's not...
Eigh: it is, really... and uhm, Aki, please do excuseme, I need to finish my chores, I'll call you later...
Aki: ok..
(binaba ni Eigh ang phone nya, at tumalikod para bumalik sa loob ng bahay nila Ghie, pinupunasan nya ang luna nya, nang makita nyang nasa labas na ang mga ito.)
Ghie: Eigh... what heppened???
(tumingin pa muli si Eigh sa mga kaibigan nya, atsaka tumakbo nang umiiyak papunta sa kanila.)
Cha: what happened???
(tanong muli ni Cha, habang inaalalayan ni Arwin at Jop si Eigh paupo sa garden set chair nila Ghie. Hindi pa rin makaimik si Eigh dahil sa mga hagulgul nya. Niyakap nya si Ghie.)
Eigh: no wedding guys... there's no wedding to happen...
(nagulat silang lahat.)
Shey: why?
Eigh: Ryuu's already with another girl... and I just... I just don't have anything to match up with her...
Shey: oh my...
(nilapitan ni Shey si Eigh at mahigpit na niyakap. Patuloy pa ring umiiyak si Eigh.)
Arw: Eigh...
Eigh: I don't have anything against her, I was just really hurt... 'cause... 'cause I love Ryuu, and I thought he felt the same way too...
Ghie: come on Eigh, be strong...
Eigh: I will... I will try...
Cha: you can, and we know you can...
(nagpulong sila para sa isang group hug... Kinahapunan umuwi si Eigh nang umiiyak at ikinwento nya sa pamilya nya ang nangyari. nalungkot silang lahat para kay Eigh, nainis pa rin ang nanay nya sa kanya, matagal ang pagkumbinse sa kanila ni Eigh nang magpropose si Ryuu. Umakyat si Eigh sa kwarto nya at pinagmasdan ang mga larawan na nakalagay sa frame, karamihan ng mga larawan dito ay sa kanila ni Ryuu, at sa mga kaibigan nya. Hinawakan nya ang picture nila ni Ryuu na magkayakap sa beach, nang magpropose ito sa kanya, lalo pa syang umiyak, nahiga sya sa kama nya at binuksan ang mp3 player nya, pinatugtog nya ang malulungkot na kanta, nang biglang nagring ang phone. Sinagot ito ni Eigh nang hindi tinitingnan kung sino ang tumatawag.)
R: Eigh, I'm sorry...
(nang marinig nyang si Ryuu ito, hindi sya nakapagsalita, tinakpan nya ang kanyang bibig para hindi marinig ni Ryuu ang pagiyak nya.)
R: Eigh... come on! I'm very sorry...
(binaba ni Eigh ang phone nya. Hindi sya nakatulog nang gabing iyon, nakatanggap sya ng ilang text message mula sa mga close friends nya, nakaabot na siguro sa kanila ang balita. Madaling araw na nang magring muli ang phone nya, katatapos nya lang maligo nito, nagbihis sya at sinagot ang phone.)
R: Eigh... I'm sorry.
Eigh: haha, you're sorry?
(papilit na tawa ni Eigh, hindi nya alam kung saan nya kukunin ang lakas ng loob para kausapin si Ryuu,)
Eigh: you shouldn't be... I mean, it's your decision... and uhm, who am I anyways, right? I mean, one of the richest girl? Maybe she has soft features, softer than mine... she is so demure... she acts like a girl... sweeter than me... she's better than me, isn't she?
R: Eigh... it's not like that...
Eigh: haha, I know it is like that... Ryuu, I just wanna clear one thing...
(lalo pang bumubuhos ang luha ni Eigh kaya lalo syang nahihirapang makipagusap.)
Eigh:... R-yuu do you still love me???
(di kaagad nakasagot si Ryuu.)
R: I... I... no, Eigh, I'm sorry...
(lalong napaiyak si Eigh inilayo nya ang receiver sa kanya.)
Eigh: I know... silly me, right? uhm, I need to go now, Ryuu...
(ibinaba nya kaagad ang phone nya, hindi talag sya makatulog buti na lang bakasyon nang mga panahong iyon. Kinabukasan, ala singko pa lang umaga bumangon na si Eigh kahit d i pa sya masyadong nakakatulog, nagluto kaagad sya ng almusal para sa pamilya nya at pagkatapos magluto nagsimula syang kumain, nagring muli ang phone nya, sinagot nya ito,)
R: Eigh... I'm sorry.
Eigh: it's fine Ryuu... I understand..
R: it's not fine Eigh...
Eigh: yah, I'm hurt, but so what? You'll be happy that way, I'll be fine...
R: Eigh, it's just that what we have is better than what we had... I mean, she's near and...
(di nakaimik si Eigh.)
Eigh: you should've told me earlier... Ryuu, I trusted you, I believed you, I almost gave you everything...
R: I know... I know...
Eigh: and I hate you now...
R: I know, and I'll take evrything... anything...
(ibinaba ni Eigh ang telepono, tinawagan nya ang mga kaibigan nya. Nagpunta sila kila Cha, at nanuod ng horror, at nag sigaw ni Eigh dati lalo pang lumakas, tatlong araw ang lumipas at hindi nagpaparamdam si Eigh kay Ryuu, kahit puno ng offline messages ang ym nya at missed calls ang phone nya. Isang gabi sinagot na ito ni Eigh.)
R: you are not calling, you are not answering my calls, ur not responding on my e-mails!
Eigh: haha, you're mad? I wished you had been like that before... but Ryuu you should do that to Finn now, not to me.
R: I don't think so....
Eigh: haha, whetever...
R: I was just so used of you doing that... each day... each hour...
Eigh: Ryuu... that was before, when there was still you and me...
R: I thought you love me..
Eigh: I do and I always will... it's just that everything's different now.
R: I don't love her, Eigh.
Eigh: nice try...
R: dad likes her.
Eigh: dad? haha, he made a decision for you again? Can't you make your own?
R: but you're not even trying to fight! You keep on teaching me to make my own decision, and yet you're not even inspiring me to do so!
Eigh: you're telling me to fight for you, where in fact you can't even handle your own decison.
R: I am so tired of you nagging on what I can't do.
Eigh: And I am so freaking fed up on you talking about what you can do, where in fact you can't!
R: this conversation is leading us nowhere.
Eigh: Ryuu, we are nothing even before this conversation took place.
R: whatever... Eigh you're invited on my wedding. And I want you to take the place of my bestman, though you're a girl, I asked permission already.
Eigh: haha, wedding?
(napapaluha si Eigh.)
R: why? Are you laughing or are you crying?
Eigh: both, it's just so funny, I will be your bestman? hah, jerk... and sad, 'cause it is supposed to be our wedding, and I am supposed to be your bride... but now, it's your wedding to her... and I am just the bestman, funny isn't it?
(paiyak na si Eigh)
R: you should come!
Eigh: haha, of course I will!! Can't miss your big day!

Eigh: uhm, guys I need to get this call...
Ghie: is it Ryuu already?
Eigh: I wish, but it's a friend of ours... remember Akira?
Ghie: uhm, yah... okay go ahead now.
