"Saan ka galing kagabi? Hindi ka nanaman umuwi?"

"Hey! Hunter answer me." Veronica calmly asked to Hunter. Kahit kaylan ay hindi nya kayang pag-taasan ng boses si Hunter. She was just so scared that Hunter might get angry at her.

"Ano bang pakialam mo?!" Halos mapatalon sya nang sigawan sya ni Hunter. Kung sya ay palaging kalmado pagdating kay Hunter ay kabaliktaran naman ang trato nito sa kanya. Hunter was become the most cold and heartless person at him because of the tragedy they've gone through.

"I am just concern. And what happened to your face? Napano nanaman it-" She was cut off when Hunter catch his hand before it lands to his face.

"Kaylan ka ba mapapagod sa set up nating ito Veronica?" Galit na galit na tanong sa kanya ni Hunter habang seryosong nakatingin sa kanya. Halos hindi nya mabuksan ang bibig nya para sagutin ang tanong na 'yon ni Hunter. Hindi dahil sa hindi nya alam ang sagot kundi dahil sa masyado syang takot sa maaring sunod na mangyari kung sakaling mapuno nya si Hunter.

"W-What are y-you t-talking about?" Yon lang ang lumabas sa bibig nya kaya malakas syang itinulak ni Hunter doon sa sofa. Not thinking na baka masaktan sya.

"Ito ang tandaan mo Veronica! Wala na akong kahit na anong nararamdaman sayo! Wala na tayong pag-asa! At kung hindi mo parin kayang bitawan ako mag-tiis ka sa turing ko sayo at huwag na huwag kang magrereklamo! I am so trapped in this arrangement of our parents!" Galit na galit na sigaw nito.

Tuluyan nanamang pumatak ang luha sa mata ko dahil sa mga sinasabi nya. Nagsisikip ang dibdib ko sa bawat masasakit na salita na nanggagaling sa kanya pero tinatanggap ko lang 'yon dahil alam kong may pinanggagalingan ang lahat ng ito kaya handa akong intindihin sya sa lahat ng aspeto. And I am also ready to gain his love again. I don't care if I need to start from the beginning basta ang mahalaga, sa dulo, mamahalin nya parin ako.

We are so happy before. Everything is so perfect and it feels like I am living in a fairy tale. Hunter treat me like his one and only queen. We are bestfriends since we were in pre-school. And then when we move on in high school, we become the most famous and ideal couple of our school. Everyone adores us and so jealous about us. We are their perfect example of a perfect couple. And then while everything is going smooth when we move on college, our parents which is close also to each other decided to arrange us on a marriage. Not only to make our company stronger but also for us to be ended up for each other. Because like the other people out there, our parents are our number fan.

At first we are so shocked but at the same time we feel so happy even marriage is not on our plan yet. At that time, we are so busy planning our future together. Until the reality hit us. Since our parents allowed us to live together, something's happened that is not also on our plan. It's just so sudden and quick. And I know in myself that when it comes to Hunter, I am willing to give everything without thinking twice or hesitations. Because after our prom, I gave my whole me to Hunter. And to make the story short, I get pregnant.

We immediately tell it to our parents and even we are still studying, they didn't get disappointed at us. They even give an advice to us that I should just take a home study while I am pregnant. But, I didn't agree with that. I still continue my studies at school. And then from there, everyone starts to talk about us.

"Shame at her! Akala ko pa naman perfect na sya 'yon pala wala ding delikadesa."

"You're right. Siguro nadala sila masyado ng init ng katawan nila."

"Damn! Pinagsisisihan kong inidolo ko sila!"

"Sayang pre balak ko pa naman agawin si Veronica kay Hunter. Look at her she is so hot and sexy but sadly Hunter take her that early. Nakakasuka na!"

"Me too but look at her she's now pregnant."

Sunod na sunod na bulong ng bawat madaanan namin sa campus. Napahawak na lang ako sa tyan ko dahil sa kahihiyan. Siguro nga mali ang lahat nang ito pero hindi ko ito kaylanman pagsisisihan. Anak namin ito ni Hunter at isa rin ito sa mga pangarap namin.

"Just don't mind them Veronica. I'm just here." And like the other days, Hunter is always at my back to cheer me up. To comfort me when I become so emotional. Mas inalagaan nya ako at iningatan. Mas lalo ko pang naramdaman ang pagmamahal nya noong mga oras na 'yon.

But I don't know why, sa bawat paglipas ng araw ay mas lalong humihirap para sa amin ang lahat. Napapaaway na si Hunter dahil sa akin. Dahil sa pambubully at pambabastos ng mga tao sa campus. At nang minsang nakabugbog si Hunter, tinanggal sya sa pagiging Dean's Lister sa University namin. It was so sad but looking at Hunter, it looks like it is just nothing at him. He still look at me with full of worries, fears, longing and love. So luckily, we survived that first semester of our third year.

But something's happened again. Isang araw nakita ko na lang si Hunter na binubugbog sa parking lot ng school namin at wala ng malay. I tried to stop them kaya sa akin nabuhos ang inis nila. I was so scared at that time but I didn't mind my fears. I just straight to Hunter and tap his face trying to wake him up. But he did not.

"Ang lakas ng loob mo na bustedin ako tapos magpapabuntis ka lang pala ng maaga sa mayabang na 'to?" Halos kilabutan ako sa boses na 'yon ng lalaking kaharap ko. Siguro ay isa nga sya sa mga nareject ko noon dahil boyfriend ko na si Hunter.

"Bakit hindi mo sya gantihan bro? Maliit pa naman ang tyan nya kaya pwede pa 'yan!" Sabi nong isa saka sila nagtawanan. Mas lalo kong ginising si Hunter dahil sa takot na nararamdaman ko. But someone grab my wrist at halos malula ako sa lakas ng pagkakahila nyang 'yon.

"Huwag ka nang umarte! As if naman na virgin ka pa!" Sigaw nito sa akin saka nya ako itinulak doon sa isa nyang kasama at kasunod noon ay pinagpasapasahan na nila ako ng tulak.

"S-Stop this please!"

"Nagmamaka-awa na pre simulan mo na ang paghihigante! Hahahaha." Lalo akong natakot sa sinabing 'yon ng lalaki. Kasabay non ay ang biglang pag-tulak nila sa akin sa loob ng isang kotse at doon nila ako binaboy. I tried to glimpse at Hunter hoping that he will save me again like he always do but he's not.

That day, I was raped and I lose our child.

That was the most painful part of the fairy tale I was once live on. The guy who raped me was sent to jail but it didn't end that there so easily. Mas lalong umingay ang pangalan ko sa school kaya napilitan na kaming lumipat ni Hunter ng University. And when we move to the place where no one knows us, I thought everything will just going to be okay. But again I was wrong, Hunter was become colder and colder to me.

And I didn't notice that, I am slowly loosing him.

I didn't notice that his love for me is slowly draining too.
