I'm very sorry ngayon lang ako nakapag-update. Huhuhu, napaka sakit ng puson ko and you know 'girly thingy' huhuhu.

HER

Magkaibigan na kami ni Paul, 1 week na rin niya akong tinetext and tinatawagan. He even asked me if I'm already okay.

Buti naman at may nakakaintindi na rin sa sitwasyon ko. Paul is always there to comfort me if I'm down. He said na naiintindihan niya ako.

"Can I take you to dinner?"

I saw Paul's text, I smiled a little bit and took a deep breathe. I trust him naman eh, and he's my friend. Wala siyang balak na masama.

"Okay. Where?"

I replied then I looked up and I saw Coleen standing infront of me. She smiled, I know she's happy for me. Baka isa to para makamove-on na sa kanya, right?

I looked at my ohone because Paul replied.

"I'll pick you up. Just send me your address."

I send my address and binaba ko na ang phone ko. I just realized na nakangiti ako mag-isa. Well it's a good thing naman, diba?

HIM

Nagsisisi na talaga ako, I want her and I want to kiss her, katulad ng dati. Pero alam kong hindi na maibabalik yun ulit.

Seeing her with another man, comforting her?

It hurts, baka nakamove-on na talaga siya. Baka may iba na rin siya, hindi na ako ang mga dahilan sa pag ngiti niya.

"Hi Kuya."

I looked up and I saw my sister smiling at me. I smiled back even I'm not happy, I smiled to look strong. I smiled because I need to.

"Bring back my Kuya please?"

"Huh?"

I saw tears in her eyes, I wiped it and mas lalo siyang umiyak. She hugged one of her teddy bears, her most favorite teddy bear kasi ako yung may bigay nun.

"My Kuya used to play with me even were already grown-up. He used to throw corny jokes, my Kuya used to smile and giggles all the time..."

"...especially, he used to hug and kiss me and telling me that I'm his princess even I'm already an adult."

"R-Riza..."

"You're not my Kuya, I don't know you anymore."

I want to tell her that I'm sorry but I can't, nakokonsensya na ako. I want to hug her but she refused to.

"You changed just because of that girl. Please you don't need to, she already moved-on. Bakit ikaw hindi pa?"

"Because I love her and I want her back."

"Damn reason..."

I looked at her, she just shook her head and tumingin sa akin. Mukhang galit pero naawa. I know naaapektuhan din siya.

"You know what, talking to you was pointless. Take a shower, dry those tears. Please ngayon lang Kuya, kalimutan mo muna siya..."

"...I'll treat you, let's take a dinner."

Alam ko kung ano ang plano niya, she want me to move-on, she's helping me to move-on even I don't want to.

"Okay."

HER

Sinuot ko ang simple white dress na ibinigay noon ni Ate Niki, bagay daw sa akin ang nakawhite dress, mukha daw akong banal, psh.

"Oh shocks, you look pretty today Maine. Ano meron? Magdadate kayo ng katext-mate mo noh?"

"Utot mo."

She laugh then umalis muna sa kwarto ko, light make-up will do. Hindi ko kailangan ng maraming kolorete sa mukha ko.

I looked at myself, she's right. I look pretty today, I'm sure Paul will like my outfit today and we'll have a perfect dinner.

"MAINE, YOUR TEXT MATE IS HERE!"

Oh shocks, nakakahiya si Coleen. Ugh, I just shrugged off and took a deep breathe. Today will be a perfect dinner between me and Paul.

"H-Hi Paul..."

I said before akong bumaba, he looked up and when we meet each other's eyes, he smiled and giggled while staring at me.

"Hello Dei, nice seeing you again."

"Likewise."

I looked at Coleen, she giggled and I just shook my head. Kinikilig nanaman ang kapatid ko. She shrugged off and umalis na.

"So? Let's go."

I looked around, this Restaurant is kinda fancy, napakasosyal. I bet puro mayayaman ang kumakain dito. I looked up and I saw a diamond chandelier.

Napanganga lang ako sa mga nakikita ko. This place is so elegant and classy, one of my dream place to my dream date.

"Dei, are you okay?"

"I'm okay, this place is so elegant."

"Like you?"

I giggled and he just smiled at me, kinuha niya ang menu and umorder na. Lahat ng foods ay parang pamilyar sa akin.

"Uhm, Paul. Punta lang ako sa CR."

He nodded at me and tumayo at hinanap ko na ang CR, this place is so big. Pwede na siyang maging hotel sa laki.

Lahat ng nakikita kong kumakain ay parang business meeting. Kami lang yata ni Paul ang kakain na parang simpleng dinner lang.

*BLAAAGGG*

Nabunggo ako ng isang lalaki, nahulog ko rin ang purse ko, pinulot niya yun at ibinigay sa akin. I smiled and when I looked up to see his face.

I frozed.

"Maine."

"RJ."

Not again, he smiled at me, ibinigay niya sa akin ang purse ko and he wiggle his eyebrows, I shook my head baka nalikmata lang ako.

"Nice to see you again, Maine..."

"Uhm--"

"Saan ka pupunta?"

"Sa CR sana eh..."

"Hatid na kita, medyo malayo ang CR dito. Maligaw ka pa."

I gulped when he put his hands on my waist, I took a deep breathe when he stares at me. Binilisan ko ang lakad ko pero mas mabilis ang sa kanya.

When I returned to my seat, napaatras ako. May kasamang babae si Paul sa table niya. And she look so familiar.

Nung lumapit ako, I saw Riza. Nagtatawanan sila and mas lalo akong kinabahan. Nandito rin si RJ, so meaning...

"What took you so long Dei?"

Napatingin si Riza sa akin, halata ring nagulat at napalunok din siya. I gulped too, napatingin sila sa likod ko. RJ is behind me

"Oh by the way Dei, this is Riza. She's my sister's friend. And that's Richard behind you, siya ang kuya ni Riza..."

"...sila ang may-ari ng Restaurant na ito."

Oh shit.
