Walang pag-aatubiling inagaw ko ang kopita mula rito at diretsong nilagok. Clarisse’s eyes widened. Nabitawan nito ang inumin at napaatras. Dali-dali nitong kinuha ang cellphone sa bulsa.
“Call an ambulance! Now!” Tinawid niya ang pagitan namin at nanginginig ang mga kamay na hinaplos ang mukha ko.
“W-Why... why did you drink it? That was poisoned! Hindi ka dapat naniwala sa akin na hindi ko alam kung saan ang may lason o wala. Rom, your drink is poisoned. I poisoned the both glasses! Dapat hinayaan mo akong inumin ang akin. I should be dead today! I deserved to die!”
“And then what? You want me to live my life in regrets and guilt? No, Clarisse. I won’t have it this time. I won’t let you have your way this time. I... I am done accomodating you and your guilt-tripping ways.”
