Emerald's POV

I stopped infront of a door.

I knocked.

After three knocks, someone opened the door.

And there i saw a man standing infront of me, wearing glasses, oversized tshirt, sweatpants, and his messy hair.

He looks like he just woke up.

"Hey." I greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, i brought breakfast." I said before going in.

"Ang aga aga nang-iistorbo ka." He said scratching the back of his head.

I pouted while preparing.

"Come here, eat kana love." I smiled at him.

He sighed before sitting down.

I sat across him, and watched him eat.

It's been 7 months that had past since i started courting him.

But all he does was to push me away.

Well, giving up isn't really in my vocabulary.

I stared at his face while he is eating.

He stopped eating when he noticed that i was looking.

"Emerald." He called.

"Hmm?" I answered paying close attention to him.

"Kailan kaba titigil?" He asked.

My heart broke once i heard his words.

"I told you, giving up is not in my vocabulary, hindi ako susuko sa'yo kasi nga mahal kit-" I didn't get to finish my sentence, when he cut me off.

"Okay then... My answer is no." He said not looking at me.

"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"I'm... rejecting you." He let out a heavy sigh.

"Ganon? Hindi mona ba talaga ako gusto? Wala na talagang pag-asa?" I asked him full of hope.

"Wag ka nang umasa, you'll just hurt yourself." He said.

"You can leave now." He said in a cold tone.

"Then i'll court you again." I said as i stood up.

"Then my answer is no, again." Pag-mamatigas niya.

"Then i'll court you again and again." I said.

"Bakit ba ang kulit mo?!" He said yelling.

I got startled by his tone. I remember how he yelled at me like that back then, when i was in college.

"Come on, answer me!" He said yelling again.

I held back my tears... but i failed.

A tear escaped from my right eye.

"Kasi..." i tried to speak with my shaky voice.

I sobbed.

"Kasi...mahal kita." I said crying already.

"Get out." He said.

"Okay, but always remember that i'm always here for you, when you have problems, you can call me. I'll be right here, i'll listen." I said before leaving.

I got out as he said.

Okay then if that's what he wants.

I walked to my car and drove home.
