Alyah Zynneth Cortez (POV)

After talking to Tripp last night, I immediately asked my secretary, Jane to book a flight for me. After my one last meeting ay babalik na ako sa States. Yes, I lied to him na matutulog na ako. I really wanna help him, that's the least I could do.

But as I was preparing my things, something fell from my wallet. It's the letter he gave me. I remembered him. The things that he did to me, was the worst.

I was walking at the park with my bestfriend Ace. We were happily eating our take out Mcdonald's large fries and coke float. Tig-isa kami ng ganun. Masayang tawanan at kuwentuhan ang ginagawa namin ng biglang dumating si Michael, my fiance.

Mahinang mahina na si Papa kaya napag-pasiyahan niya na i-engage ako sa Michael na to. He's a nerd, a very definite description. Papa thought that I can't handle our business, kaya ipinagkasundo niyang ikasal ako sa nerd na to. So after a year namatay si Papa, I suffered a lot. Sa akin napunta lahat ng hindi niya natapos, at ako ang naging CEO ng kumpanya niya. Until now I'm still engaged.

"Anung ginagawa mo dito?" I asked him

"U-uhm.. k-kasi, Zynneth. A-ano eh...."

"Ano?" I asked irritated

"Aayain sana kita m-ag date.." he whispered..

"Ano?!"

"Gusto ko sanang makipagdate sayo." he said loudly

"What?! Hindi ka pa ba masaya na lagi tayong magkasama sa family dinner? Fiance na kita kaya stop asking me for dates. It's creepy. Sige na umalis ka na at sa bahay na lang tayo magkita. Pupunta naman kami doon ni Mama at ni Alex eh."

"Talaga? Sige!" he smiled and left us

Again Ace and I shared our laughs. Marami nga nagtitinginan samin eh. Pero napagod ako sa kakatawa kaya nilagay ko yung ulo ko sa balikat niya. Inakbayan niya naman ako. I so love this guy. He makes me feel at home. Pero bestfriend niya lang ako.

Hindi pa kami nagtatagal sa ganoong puwesto ay dumating si Kim, ang girlfriend ni Ace. Mabilis na tumayo si Ace at hinalikan si Kim sa harapan ko. She's a bad girl I tell you. Doon ko lang narealize na wala na talaga akong pag-asa kay Ace. He is really inlove with Kim.

"Uhm.. Ace alis na ako. Andyan naman na si Kim eh." I said

"No, wait. Hindi ka ba sasama samin?" he asked

"Hindi na.. Baka maOP nanaman ako!" I faked my laugh.

"Ok sige." then they left me

Ngayon ay lalabas ulit kami ni Ace, sasamahan niya ako mamili ng gown na isusuot sa ball ng pamilya niya. He will be my escort. Labas pasok kami sa mga designers' shops. After several hours ay nakapili ako ng isang Elegant Saphire Floor gown at katerno nito and isang 4 inch heels, with close front na saphire din ang kulay.

After choosing our outfits, we entered Delicious and Sweets Coffee shop. As usual he treated me, and I ordered my favorite 1 slice of strawberry cake and a strawberry flavored frappe. Siya naman ay nagorder ng Fettuccini and orange juice. Pagkatapos namin kumain ay inihatid na niya ako sa bahay.

"Mag-ayos ka na ha? I'll pick you up at 7pm. Okay?"

I just nodded. Pumasok ako sa kwarto ko at nag ayos ng sarili. I put some BB cream and covered it with a light foundation. Then I colored my eyelids with a light blue glittered eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. Nagblush on din ako ng rosy pink, manipis lang and red lipstick. I just curled my hair and let it down.
