Pagkalipas ng tatlong taon ay nagbalik siya, at narinig ko siyang pinag-uusapan ang tungkol sa dovorce. Wala siyang sinabi kahit na matapos niyang makuha ang aking pagkabirhen bago siya umalis. Sobrang sakit ng naramdaman ko. Hindi niya ako binigyan ng pagkakataong maging mabuting asawa para sa kanya, pero gusto niya pa rin akong hiwalayan. Hindi dahil mahal ko siya, kundi dahil inakala kong naging tapat ako sa kanya habang siya naman ay nagpakasaya kasama ang kanyang kalaguyo. Ngunit nagawa pa niyang magreklamo na parang ako ang sumakal sa kanya. Galit na galit ako. Sisiguraduhin kong mahihirapan sila ng kanyang kalaguyo na makumbinsi ako sa diborsyo. Pero bakit parang iba ang ikinikilos niya? Bakit nakakaramdam ako ng pagkasabik sa tuwing magkakadikit kami?
