"Let us all welcome our contestant number one. From BIM Department, Lilac Lyka Dela Vega!"
I took a deep breath then smile as I hear my name. Some students were shouting for my name too, tho I don't have any idea that they know me. I went to the middle of the stage, facing the crowds with a smile on my lips.
"Are you ready? And since you were the youngest contestants, what do you feel right now?"
The emcee asked me while placing the microphone in front of me. I look at the crowd, trying to find the man that I wanted to see. But, I can't see him in the middle of those students who are watching. Siguro nga ay hindi siya dumadalo sa ganitong program ng school.
"Nothing," baliwalang sagot ko, wala naman talaga akong nararamdaman. Should I feel nervous? Ano naman ngayon kun
I remained silent as Lucas drove his car to Steve's place. May pa-pool party raw ang kolokoy na 'yon kaya pala hindi siya umattend sa prom."Hanggang anong oras ka pinayagan ng magulang mo sa labas?" I looked at Lucas when he asked me that. Mom knows about Montalban University's program, and she allowed me till eleven p.m but my Dad... Well, he doesn't care."Eleven," I answered. "Are there girls the same age as mine in that place?" I asked him this time, I was curious. What if hindi naman pala ako pwede roon? O kaya naman wala naman akong kilala roon? Edi na out of place lang ako!"Are you afraid now?" balik tanong niya naman habang nakatutok ang mga mata sa daan. I was about to answer him but he adds more that made me blush. "I'm with you, you're not going to be out of
Hanggang ngayon ay Hindi ko pa rin alam kung matatawa ba ako o maiinis sa pagkaing dinala sa akin ni Lilac sa opisina. To the point na nag effort pa siya roon, nag-aksaya lang siya ng oras! Those hotdogs that she cooked were sweet! Too sweet na kulang na lang ay mamaga ang ngipin ko! While the egg was salty, isang kilong asin yata ang nilagay niya! Ganoon pa man ay kinain ko pa rin, bawal kasing magtapon ng grasya, kaya kahit katapon-tapon 'yon ay pinagtiyagaan ko pa rin. I take off my tuxedo and lay on the couch to gather some rest. Napakaraming trabaho ang inasikaso ko sa kumpanya, it was tiring. Habang lumalaki kasi ang Moris Hotel and Restaurant dumarami rin ang tumatangkilik dito. Lumalaki ang kumpanya, dumarami ang empleyedo. But what made me felt tired more? Was the fact that I was thinking about Lilac the whole day, fuck! And speaking of th
"Lucas open the door!" I shout, stamping my feet in annoyance. "Open it, Lucas! Let's talk, we need to talk... Lucas!" Pakiramdam ko'y mapapatid na ang litid ko sa leeg kasisigaw mula sa labas ng pinto ng kwarto ni Lucas. I was just asking him if he's willing to help me now. Aminado akong wala talaga akong gaanong source at investors na kilala upang mag invest sa kumpanya namin. That is why I need Lucas's help. But my heartless handsome husband just walked out on me, the hell!"Luc-""Ano ba?! Ang ingay ingay mo, hindi ako makapag-asikaso ng maayos ng dahil sa kasisigaw mo. I told you I'm tired right?! For goodness sake Lyka, let me rest for a while pwede?!"Daig ko pa ang pinutulan ng dila at natameme na lang talaga. Mula noon hanggang ngayon h
"Dad no!" I shout in frustration. "Hindi pa ako pwedeng magpakasal, I was just seventeen!" Pagpipilit ko.Dad just grab my hand and forced me to go inside the car. My mother was just quiet. Ni hindi ko man lang siya narinig na nagsalita at pigilan si Daddy sa gusto nitong mangyari. Mas lalong titindi ang galit sa akin ni Lucas pagnagkataong matuloy ang pesteng kasal na sinasabi nila."Mom, I didn't do anything! Naniniwala ka sa akin diba? Wala akong ginawang masama. Hindi ko rin alam kung pa-""Enough Lyka! Shut up will you?!" Nasapo niya ang noo niya bago umiiling na tumingin sa akin. "That's what you got for not thinking about our family's reputation!" galit niya pang sabi.Nanahimik na lang ako sa tabi niya habang impit na lumuluha. Wala na rin naman akong magagawa. They don't want to conside
I feel shy when I am almost naked. The only clothes left on my body were my underwears. I breathe in and out then walk in front of Lucas. I look at his eyes and was about to remove my bra when suddenly he hold my waist and pulled me in between his legs. "You look afraid... Tell me, am I scary?" he asked, gently caressing my waist. "I-i... I felt n-nervous," I answered honestly. He smirks and made me sit on his lap. "Then I'll do it for you, let me take it off... I'm tired of this bullshit Lyka, for once let's act like a husband and wife who loves each other." I got shocked and was about to stand up but he suppressed me by encircling his arms around me. He kissed my lips while removing my bra. My knees were shaking and can't move, I feel like I'm going to faint any moment.
"Bro that's enough! Langya lasing ka na, ihahatid na kita!" I raised my right hand to Steve and wave it, saying no! I can still drink! This is called celebration, I'm a newlywed for fuck sake!"May problema ka ba? You're wasted, man!" giit niya pa, halatang napipikon na. "Why would I feel problematic?" I asked him. Lumapit ako sa kaniya ng bahagya bago bumulong. "I'll tell you a secret, I'm a married man now! Hear that?! I'm fucking married!" I shout, not minding those customers who looking at us with full of curiosity in their eyes.I was about to stand up but I felt dizzy. Kaagad din akong napaupo at yuyuko na lang sana sa mesa upang magpahinga. But Steve grab my arm and force me to stand up."Halika na, iuuwi na kita! Fuck! Daig pa natin ang mag shota dito nakakahiya! Napakagwapo ko at macho para maging
When the door closed and Lilac's out, I let myself fall on my bed. Arms on my forehead, staring at the white ceiling and thinking about the past. Just how the fuck did I fall in love with Lilac? With that crazy little witch, blue-eyed brat named Lilac... Oh lemme rephrase it, Lyka nga pala! She'll get angry if someone call's her by her first name. Except me of course, I can call her Lilac or Lyka siya pa rin naman 'yon! Sadyang may sayad lang siya at naiirita kapag tinawag siyang Lilac, kahit ako'y hindi ko alam kung bakit. Maybe because her Father was named Red, her brother was Azul and she's Lilac. Kaunting kulay na lang ang kailangan, papasa na silang 'rainbow family'.I smiled because of that silly thought. But thinking about what just had happened a while ago made me think about our past. Until now, I felt guilty about what have I done to her seven years ago. Siguro'y hanggang ngayon dala niya pa rin ang takot na iyon at ang g
"Lucas bro! Sikat na sikat ka ah!"Gustong gusto ko ng sapakin ang pagmumukha ng tukmol na Steve na ito dahil sa napakagandang bungad niya sa akin! Sukat ba namang natutuwa pa dahil kaming dalawa lang naman ni Lilac ang headline dito sa Montalban!"Balita ko, paglilinisin ng cafeteria misis mo dahil sa issue... Kawawa naman, 'di mo ba kinausap si tita tungkol doon? Kayong may-ari nitong school ah!" pag-iimporma niya pa.Ano namang magagawa ko tungkol sa punishment ni Lilac? Kitang si Mama nga ang may gusto no'n."Buti nga siya cafeteria lang, eh ako kubeta!" galit na sambit ko naman. My mother was kind and understanding yes, but she never tolerates those wrongdoings. Kaya nga pati ako na anak niya ay may parusa rin kahit na wala n

It had been a wild and upside-down journey between me and Lucas. Pero sino ang makapagsasabi na heto kami ngayon at sa simbahan din pala ang tuloy.Hinawakan ni Lucas ang daliri ko at dahan-dahang isinuot sa akin ang sing-sing na siyang simbulo ng aming pagmamahalan at pag-iisang dibdib. "I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you. I ask you to wear this ring as a reminder of the vows we have spoken today, our wedding day. This ring is a token of my love, and promise to hold your hands forever."Madamdamin niyang saad na nagpa-init ng sulok ng mga mata ko. Sa lahat ng nangyari at pinagdaanan naming lahat... lalo na kami ni Lucas, I can say that it was all worth it."I love you," I mouthed him which causes him to smile from ear to ear. Nakita ko rin ang dahan-dahang pag-agos ng luha sa mga mata niya na talaga namang nagpa-iyak na sa akin ng tuluyan.Sa pagkakataong ito'y ako naman ang humawak sa kamay
Months had gone fast and my wife Lilac is now inside the delivery room, giving birth to our first baby."Fuck! Marshal pa ba?!" Nag-aalalang taking ko sa mga baliw kong kaibigan na ngayon ay nakasalampak lang sa hallway ng ospital.They were busy eating chips and drinking soda while I was nervous as hell. Alam kong katulad din nila ako dati noong manganganak na ang mga may asawa sa kanila. Hindi ko naman aakalain na mangyayari rin sa akin ang ganitong klasi ng kaba."Bro, walang mangyayari kung magpapaikot-ikot ka riyan na parang ikaw ang dapat na manganak! Nakakahilo, sa totoo lang," singhal sa akin ni Steve."Mabuti pa umupo ka na lang at kumain na rin muna, ang dami pa namang binili ni Matteo na chips," sabat naman ni Daryl."Trust me, napagdaanan ko na rin yan. Mamaya lang, hihimatayin ka na rin," ani Justine na talaga nga namang kinakunot ng noo ko.As far as I remember, walang araw na hindi siya hinimatay noong nanganak ang asawa niyang si Zafira. Kung sa akin mangyayari 'yon ng
Akala ko, noong hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at sumama siya sa akin ay hindi na siya mawawala. But when that fucking scandal happened, our life become miserable. Bumitaw siya. Nawala siya sa akin. Iniwan niya ako.But after three years of waiting, she's back again. I don't know what's her plan. What she was trying to prove, but she said something that caught me off-guard."I need you, Lucas."How I wish that's true because, to be honest... I need her too. After three years of waiting and not sure kung babalik pa nga ba siya or hindi na, but still... siya pa rin talaga. "Puwede bang magmahalan na muna tayo kahit joke lang?" She asked me, pero bakit naman 'joke' lang? Hindi ba puwedeng totohanin na lang? Hindi ba puwedeng mahalin niya na lang ako ng tunay, dahil 'yon din naman ang gagawin ko."Hay buhay!" pabulong kong sabi.I was in the middle of a very important meeting when Steve came together with my wife. But what surprised me more was when Lilac wanted me to buy her food. Nakapagt
_Lucas POV_[Teen-age days]It was Monday morning, at wala sana akong balak na pumasok. Sa totoo lang tinatamad ako! Wala naman kasi talaga sa plano ko ang kursong ipinilit sa akin na ipakuha ng nga magulang ko. Ngunit ganoon pa man... sumunod pa rin ako."Bro, what if mag escape na lang tayo?" Seryosong tanong sa akin ni Steve, ang matalik kong kaibigan na handa akong damayan sa kahit na ano. Kaya nga pati ang kursong kinuha ko ay kinuha niya rin para BFF goals daw! Bahagya ko lang siyang binatukan at akmang lalakad na ulit ng may makabangga sa akin. At dahil mas malaking tao ako kaysa sa kaniya... sa lapag ang bagsak niya."Tumingin ka kasi sa daraanan mo," baliwalang saad ko pero sa totoo lang, I was shocked. She looks like an angel to me!With her blue eyes, pointed nose, curly eyelashes, and kissable lips... damn, ang ganda niya naman! Bakit ngayon ko lang nakita ang babaeng ito rito sa university?"Magagalit ba ang panatang makabayan kung ang iniibig ko ay ikaw?" Wala sa loob n
"L-Lucas..." Dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang mga mata, ngunit napapikit lang ulit ng masilaw mula sa liwanag ng ilaw. "Where am I?" I asked myself.I can hear some machines and smell medicine. Naririnig ko rin ang halos pabalik-balak na yabag ng mga paa at ang pagsara at bukas ng pinto. Muli kong idinilat ang mata ko at marahang pinagmasdan ang puting kisame at dingding. "Gising na si Lyka!"Dinig king sigaw ng kung sino man, pamilyar ang boses niya pero dahil sa bahagyang hilo na nadarama ko'y wala akong lakas para isipin pa kung sino man siya. Nang ibaling ko ang mukha ko sa kaliwang bahagi kung saan ako nakahiga... nakita ko ang nakayukong ulo ni Lucas sa hinihigaan ko.I was about to touch his hair and comb it using my fingers, ngunit ang kamay kong naka-akma pa lang na itataas ko ay hinawakan kaagad ng babae... a nurse. "Where am I?" I asked again, but this time sa babaeng nasagilid ko na at nakangiti sa akin."Montalban Hospital po Mrs. Moris," sagot niya naman bago may i-nin-je
I trust Lilac, hindi niya magagawa ang mga sinabi ni Vina. At naniniwala akong hindi siya ang nasa video na pinakita niya sa akin. "Definitely not my Lilac... hindi ganoon ang asawa ko," tiim bagang kong sambit pagkapasok sa unit ko.Kaagad kong kinuha ang cellphone ko at tinawagan si Lilac. I was just asking her if I'm going to fetch her or kung doon siya matutulog? But she said, uuwi siya. Ngunit makalipas ang tatlong beses na ring lang ng ring ang cellphone niya ng tinatawagan ko'y bigla akong nakadama ng kakaiba.Sa huling pagkakataon ay tinawagan ko ulit, pero ganoon na lang ang gulat ko ng may madinig akong boses ng lalaki sa kabilang linya.[Ang sarap mo... alam kong magugustuhan mo ang gagawin natin.] Parang may kung anong galit ang dumaloy sa bawat himay-may ng katawan ko."Whose that fucker?!" Galit kong tanong sa aking sarili bago nagmamadaling lumabas ulit ng unit. I had to go to my wife's unit.Hindi ako naniniwala sa mga pinagsasabi ni Vina dahil higit kanino pa man...
Habang pauwi kami sa unit ko ay tahimik lang kami ni Lilac. She didn't want to talk to me, and I don't know what should I say to her. Is she mad? Alam kong hindi ganoon kaagad mawawala ang galit niya kay Vina, but Vina came to me and asked me if we can talk. Hindi ko naman alam kung ano ang pag-uusapan namin, but I still said 'okay' which made Lilac feel mad."Where's your car, Vi?" I asked Vina whose comfortably sitting in the backseat. Katabi ko naman si Lilac dito sa harapan habang nagmamaneho ako.I hold her hand and squiz it gently, but when I look at her... she's looking at the road seriously. Hindi ko Alan king and ang iniisip niya, pero can't at hindi siya galit, 'di kaya'y masyadong nag iisip. Makakasama kasi 'yon sa baby namin."I left my car in my boyfriend's unit," baliwalang sagot niya. Mukha rin siyang seryoso ngunit kapag napapatingin kay Lilac ay nagtatagis ang bagang niya.Masyadong halata ang ipinapakita niyang pagka-inis, o galit kay Lilac. But whatever it is that m
"The baby is fine and healthy. Kailangan mo lang ng vitamins at seyempre bawal ang ma-stress," sunod-sunod na sabi ni doktora Pacheqo sa amin.Nakahiga ako sa hindi ganoon kalaki ngunit hindi rin naman maliit na hospital bed. Her clinic was small but clean at kumpleto naman sa mga kagamitan.Nang itinapat niya sa tiyan ko ang device kung saan maririnig ang heartbeat ng baby ay halos sabay pa kami ni Lucas na tumingin sa isa pang device na parang t.v. Makikita roon ang paggalaw ng baby sa tiyan ko habang pinapakinggan ang tibok ng puso niya.I was so happy that I didn't help but to cry with so much happiness that I felt right now. Kaagad namang lumapit sa akin si Lucas at hinawakan ang kamay ko."Why? What happens? Masakit ba?" Sunod-sunod at nag-aalalang tanong niya. Umiling naman ako bago muling bumaling sa parang t.v na nasa gilid ko."I'm just happy. See that?" Tinuro ko sa kaniya ang parang anino lang sa monitor ngunit gumagalaw. "That's my baby," maluha-luha pa ring saad ko sa ka
