Kabanata 85 Caden’s Point of View I clenched my fist as soon as Lalaine left the mansion. Dali-dali akong umakyat sa kwarto at pumunta sa veranda. There, I silently watched her leave. And I couldn’t help but reminisce the pain I had eight years ago after she left. The pain that wounded me day by day, and now has left me with thousand scars that will never heal. Huminga ako nang malalim nang rumagasa ang mga emosyon na ilang taon ko nang dala-dala. It’s been eight years since she left me without telling me. Eight fúcking years of questioning what did I ever do for her to leave me like that—clueless, confused, and deeply hurt. Walang araw na hindi ko kinuwestiyon ang sarili ko kung anong nagawa ko para iwan niya nang gano’n. Walang araw na binalikan ko ang mga alaalang kasama ko siya.
