He called your name repeatedly, but in your indifference, you pushed him away, as though he were nothing.

Ardian was on the floor, gripping your legs with all the desperation in his being. His eyes, filled with tears, pleaded with you.

"M-mahal na mahal kita... please..." he cried, his voice quivering as though his life depended on your attention.

"M-mahal ko... wag ka na magalit... h-hindi ko na kaya 'to... p-pansinin mo na 'ko!" His cries were filled with anguish, as though his very soul was being torn apart.

Tears flowed like a river, yet he did not stop. His hands, trembling, held tightly to your legs, his body shaking with the weight of his emotion.

"Tama na, Ardian," you said coldly, your tone sharp and final. You slapped his hands away, a painful reminder of how far you'd drifted apart.

But still, he clung to you, his sobs echoing louder. "P-please, hindi ko na kukunin yung mga treats mo sa fridge! Oo kasalanan ko, please patawarin mo na 'ko!"
