"A-Ano pong nangyari?" Nag-aalalang tanong ko.
"Nabangga 'yung sasakyan niya, buti ako ang tinawagan. Ayaw niyang sabihin kila Mac na naaksidente siya, 'wag kang mag-alala alam ko na 'yung relasyon niyo ni Brent. Mapapagkatiwalaan niyo ako. Basta, gusto ka niyang makita." aniya.
"S-sinabi niyo na po kay kuya?"
"Hindi pa. Baka mamaya itext ko, kahit na magka-away 'yun, mahal nun ang isa't isa."
"Sige po, punta na po ako diyan." Ibinaba ko ang telepono at dali daling sumakay ng taxi. I texted Asher.
Ako: Sorry, Asher hindi na ako makakanood. Something came up.
I'm sure that kuya would get mad again if he kne

I wiped my tears using the back of my hand. Nakatanggap naman ako ng text galing kay kuya Dexter na dinischarge na si Brent. I asked him if he's okay but he didn't reply back.I decided to go to Brent's house since I have no class anymore. I badly wanted to know if he's okay now. I took a deep breath as I reached their gate.Nakita naman ako ng katulong nila na kakatapos lang magwalis. "Manang, si Brent po ba nandyan na po?""Ay ooh ija, kaso walang bisita ang pwedeng pumunta sabi nila Ma'am." sagot niya."K-kahit sino po?" Tumango naman siya."Oo, naaksidente kasi si Sir pero di ko alam kung bakit e. Sa susunod ka na lang pumunta.""Ah ganun po ba, sige po. Salamat po."I hope he's doing fine now. Ilang beses ko rin siyang tinawagan at tinext pero wala man lang akong natanggap sa kanya. Ako na naman ang naghahabol no? Hindi na ako nagsawa.I also called Hera several times but she didn't respond. Hindi na rin ako makapagtambay sa kanila kasi hindi ko na siya madalas nakakausap ngayon.

Days without Brent's presence were empty. Siguro nga talagang nagdepende ako sa kanya ng matindi kaya ang hirap niyang pakalawan.I am slowly learning to live around gaping the hole of his absence. It's hard though, but I know I can do this.Simula nang malaman din nila kuya Mac na nag-migrate si Brent sa ibang bansa wala na silang ibang ginawa kundi ang tumambay dito sa bahay. 'Di ko lang alam kung kasama niya pa si Danica 'yun. Magsama sila!Alam din nila na may relasyon kami ni Brent no'n, si kuya lang talaga ang walang kaalam alam.They're mad because Brent kept our relationship secret when he can proclaim it openly. Gago nga kasi. Umalis ng walang sabi, anong gusto niyang maramdaman ko? Maging masaya kasi tuluyan na siyang wala? I know what I told him to let go of me but not with the fact that he'd leave me alone talaga. Ito na ba 'yung sinasabi nilang, be careful what you wish for. Yes, I've wished for him to stay away from me but not with that distance. Ang layo ng Canada!Bak

"Gracia, tahimik mo ah? Hinihintay mo pa rin ba siya?" Napalingon ako kay Lander. I gulped."Huh? Hindi ah," sagot ko at uminom. Liar, Yna. Pagkatapos kong ilagpag 'yung baso sa mesa kita ko ang mga mata nila kuya na hindi makapaniwala sa sagot ko."Bakit? Hindi naman talaga ah." I defended. Tumawa lang si kuya Mac."Kwento mo sa pagong." I rolled my eyes at Kuya Mac. Kahit kailan talaga si Kuya Mac.Well, kilala naman kasi talaga nila ako. They know the fact that Brent is my weakness and will always be."Lie to yourself but not to me," Lander uttered. He drank another shot. Hindi ko na lang pinansin. "How are you and Ate Monica?""Don't ask. Complicated," he replied gazing away."Asus."Maya maya pa'y wala na sila kuya Mac at ang iba. Paniguradong kung kani kaninong chixx naman sila nagsisipunta. Boys and their agendas. Si Lander na katabi ko ang naiwan.The music hyped everyone. "Di ka sasayaw?" I shook my head."Sayang naman, you should enjoy your night.""Nah, hindi na. Okay lang

Just what the hell is happening?! My mouth was still parted a bit. Why the fuck is he here? Bakit mas lalong gumwapo siya ngayon? Shit! He looks hot as hell with his three piece suit, his hair is neatly brushed up and his sexy mustache. Gosh! I will always be swoon over with his presence. Tingin niya pa lang, bumababa na ang anghel sa lupa. Ilang taon man ang nakalipas, hindi pa rin nabawasan ang kagwapuhan niya. Ang pogi niya! Tangina lang!These thoughts made me cringe. I shook my head. This is not the time to admire his damn beauty."He's one of the engineers who'll approve your design Ms. Portillo," said my chief. Kinuyom ko ang kamao ko. Ang mukha naman niya'y seryoso. I didn't imagine our meeting to be like this. His hawk eyes left me breathless. Bakit ganyan siya makatingin?My eyes wandered around and everyone were expecting me to start. Shit! Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Fuck you Brent! You're really good at ruining me!I closed eyes and heaved a deep sigh before starting.S

I couldn't stand the sight of him with his son. Nanatili akong nakatayo habang nakatingin sa kanila."Daddy, I wanna go home na po. I'm hungry na." He leveled his face on his son. Ako naman ay nakatulala pa ring pinagmamasdan silang dalawa"Okay, let's go." Kinuha niya ang kamay ng anak niya bago umalis. Nakita ko pa siyang lumingon sa pwesto ko. I know he wanted to explain. Hindi na naman kailangan dahil sapat na ang nakita ko.Pagkauwi ko ay inilapag ko ang mga plastic bags at napaupo. Hindi ko na namalayan ang pagtulo ng mga luha ko. Tangina! I have already expected him having someone aside from me but not with the fact that he has already a son. Ibig sabihin sa anim na taon na 'yun, nagpakasal na siya o di kaya'y nakabuntis na.Ang sakit pa rin pala. Akala ko wala ng sasagad ang mga pinaggagawa niya sa akin noon. May isasakit pa pala ngayon.Then, why the hell the destiny is playing us? Ka-trabaho ko siya kaya 'di maiiwasan ang pagkikita namin. I wanted to be away with him but I d

I stared blankly at the wall for how many minutes now. Hindi ko alam kung ano pa rin ang mararamdaman ko ngayon.My heart swelled inside of my chest. I kept on holding back my tears but I don't think I can do it now.Tears pooled my eyes. My heart was still heavy. The agony building up inside of me has slowly consumed me.Okay naman ako ng mga nagdaang taon e, kinaya ko naman ng wala siya. Bakit na naman ako nagkaka-ganito dahil sa kanya? Nakaka-tangina lang! I glanced at the time in my phone. It's already three in the morning. Mas lalo kong kinagulat ang ilang missed calls galing kay kuya.They're definitely worried about my whereabouts. Siraulo kasi 'to si Brent!"Kuya." bungad ko nang masagot ko ang tawag."Yna? Nasaan ka na? Saan ka dinala ng gagong 'yan ha?" sunod sunod na tanong ni kuya."Nasa Tagaytay kami. But, kuya don't worry I can manage.""Siguraduhin mo lang, Yna, baka 'pag bumalik ka na naman dito sa Manila para ka namang asong ulol diyan sa gagong 'yan."I heaved a deep

Inis kong nilagay sa basurahan ang bulaklak galing sa table ko. "Puta." I cursed under my breath. Hindi talaga titigil ang lalaking 'yun hanggang sa hindi niya makuha ang gusto niya."Sa susunod pakiusap paki-tapon na lang 'tong mga bulaklak na 'to ah?""Hay naku, Yna. Hindi mo mapipigilan 'yan. Look at how persistent he is, ako na lang ang naawa e." Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Ricardo.I squeezed my temple. Ikinalampag ko ang sling bag ko. Ang aga aga, nagsimula na naman ang hinayupak na 'yun.Well, for several weeks now he kept on sending me flowers, chocolates and notes. Kahit walang pangalan ng sender, sino pa bang magpapadala nun? Siya lang naman.Kakatapos lang ng construction. It earned me a good reputation in the company. Hindi na kami nagkikita ni Brent, he's busy with his work overseas. That's great, anyways. I could live freely without any pest.I am also having the best time of my life since no one's bugging me. Peace is at my back.I took a glimpse on the clock. Since, I bec

"Shit! I'm excited naaaa!" Ricardo raised his hands in the air as we stepped out in the airplane and landed in El Nido, Palawan. Here we go! We were all dressed with our summer outfits."Let's gooo!" Kanina pa hinahawakan ni Ayesha ang mahaba niyang summer dress na tinatangay ng hangin.Good thing, I wore only a cropped top and a high waist maong shorts.Hindi na sumama si Asher dahil may aasikasuhin daw siya.Ricardo brought his gwapo boyfriend with him. When I say, gwapo he really looked like a European model with his features. Shit! Where did Ricardo get that guy?"Hoy, mata mo! Kanina mo pa pinagdidiskitahan ang boyfriend ko!" hasik ni Ricardo. Inirapan ko lang siya."Aba, babe o." pabebe niyang pagsumbong sa boyfriend niya na hindi ko alam ang pangalan."I'm Gregory by the way." He extended his hand for a shake. Ricardo looked at me with his disapproving look. As if naman, I'll snatch his boyfriend from him. I smiled and accepted his shake."Yna," tipid kong sabi bago pinuntahan
