                        CHAPTER 1

   What I hated the most about love is that it’s traitor. Your heart can’t control your feelings as your brain can. Kaya mas ginagamit ko ang utak ko, at hindi nagpapadaig sa nararamdaman ng aking puso.

   I am so done following what my heart wants, at naging masaya ako ng itinigil ko ito. My life becomes better right after kung mas pagtuonan ng pansin ang sinasabi ng aking utak.

   I can live my life with or without a man. Because, I am a woman, not just a woman, but, a woman with dignity.

   I don’t need a man in my life, I lived eight years of my life without the man who created me. Nakaya kong wala ang ama ko, that's why alam kong kaya ko kahit walang lalaki sa buhay ko.

   “Argh! It’s so suffocating! Men’s, men’s, men’s!” I shouted as I have entered to our house.

   “Ano na namang problema mo, Moana?!” Kaagad akong napakamot sa batok ko ng marinig si Mama na nagsasalita sa kusina.

   “Ma, Sherylle po. Masyadong bata pag Moana.” Saad ko at nagmano ng makalapit na sa kaniya.

   “Magbibihis lang ako, Ma. Tutulungan na kita diyan.” Nakita ko ng tumango si Mama kaya dumeretso na ako sa aking kwarto.

   I heaved as I entered my room, a little rose of smile forms into my lips as I carress my bed, ang lambot. Nawala agad iyon ng mapadako ang tingin ko sa isang larawan na nasa mesa katabi ng kama ko. I pouted.

   Kinuha ko ito, at sinipa sa kung saan. It’s been eight years pero alam kong masakit parin. I wanna forget him, but, Mom as mom she won’t let me do that. Kahit gaano pa siya ginago ni Papa noon, isa lang ang palagi niyang sinasabi sa akin. “Huwag mong kamumuhian ang ama mo”. How can’t I if that man made me do my most hated thing. Begging.

   How can I if he is the first reason for me to have the most painful break down in life?

   Pagkatapos kong magbihis ay kinuha ko muna ang cellphone ko, nawalan ako bigla ng ganang bumababa. I wrote a note in messenger, ‘nostalgia’ and scrolls down to my facebook wall for a minute when a sudden notification pops-up.

whylle_vermauv sent you a friend request.

   I found my self in the friend request section in facebook, tapping the account whylle_vermauv.

   The name is kind of familiar to me, as I have scrolled to his wall I saw he is a famous one, with 40,004 followers and 1,695 friends.

   I wasn’t shocked, as this isn’t the first time I am added by some famous facebook users.

   His profile picture is a cute chibi of a little whale, I smiled as I have noticed that he’s profile picture has to do something to his name, Whylle. My brows narrowed, looking at his latest post.

   A man holding a badminton racket, wearing a green vest paired with a green jogging pants, full of sweat, yet handsomely smiles at the camera. Full of confidence, animo’y walang ka gagohang nagawa sa intrams.

   Boys as boys, they will always use their angelic face to hurt girls. Yes, he is undeniably handsome, batak na batak ang laki ng katawan sa suot niyang tsaleko. Who wouldn’t like him? Ako, syempre. I wouldn’t fall for his posture.

   I wag my head as I have thought, among seven billion people in the world, alam kong iilan na lamang ang matino. Whylle, with his aura, and of what I have seen earlier? I know he is not one of those matitinong lalaki.

   I rolled my eyes.

bilog.
