Same day as the Engagement Party
Mia's POV
I walked into my boyfriend's condo at mabilis na binuksan ang pinto, as I entered the living room, I saw his phone lying on the coffee table, hindi ko sana ito papansinin ng bigla itong tumunog, I couldn't help but pick it up and start scrolling, I saw a mysterious contact number who caughts my attention.
A moment later, my tears started to go down as I read their conversation.
"Love? Anong ginagawa mo dito?"
Hindi ako lumingon sa pagtawag niya at naglakad papaalis ng kaniyang condo
Hindi ko namalayan na sinundan pala ako ni James. Marahan niya akong niyakap patalikod ngunit bumitaw naman ako sa kanyang pagkakayakap saka humarap. Tumutulo parin ang mga luha sa aking mukha.
"Love bakit k-" Hindi na natapos ni James ang kaniyang sasabihin nang sampalin ko siya.
"You Fucking cheater! Ano pa bang kulang sakin? That fucking girl, ano bang nakita mo sakanya?! Am I not enough?! Hindi ko na sana papansinin pero putangina James, lahat naman binigay ko, ano pa bang kulang?!" Pasigaw kong sabi sakaniya.
All my life, I thought he was the one for me.. Pero I was wrong, hindi ko pala alam ang mga nangyayari behind me..
"Love, ano? Anong pinagsasabi mo?" sabi niya saka hinawakan ang aking mga kamay. Bumitaw naman ako sa pagkakahawak niya at naglakad sa coffee table para sana ipakita ang cellphone niya na may convo.
"Mia.. hindi 'to totoo! Maniwala ka sakin!" As he grabbed his phone to my hands.
"Sino ba namang manloloko ang aamin sa kasalanan niya, diba?!" madiin kong sagot sakaniya.
"Mia. Maniwala ka sakin!" sambit naman niya at dahan dahang lumuhod sa aking harapan.
He choose..
"Sabihin mo nga sakin, how can I trust you!? James.. you chose not to be faithful kaya itigil na natin 'to parehas lang natin masasaktan ang isa't isa." pagmamakaawa ko sakaniya. Alam niya na mahirap para sa akin ang magtiwala pero pinagkatiwalaan ko siya and yet he broke it.
He.. he promised to me to always choose me, but..
With tears streaming down my face, I walked out of the room, leaving James behind. I knew it was going to be tough, but I was determined to not give up and surrender. It was the battle I badly wanted to win.
He choose her..
Mabilis akong naglakad palabas ng building pero mabilis din akong napaatras nang mabunggo ako ng isang lalaki. I was about to say sorry when one of them held me tightly. Napatitig ako sa gulat.
Anong ginagawa nila? Had they gotten the wrong person?
I struggled for a bit and tried to break free from his grip. Pero I had no energy left to fight back as my consciousness blurred.
After the Engagement Party
Tristan's POV
The BMW opened. I came out wearing a tailor made fitting suit; walking elegantly. I then entered the bar, undid my tie and ordered tequila. I took a sip enjoying my alone time but then suddenly my phone rang.
Caller ID: Ethan
Sinagot ko ang tawag saka nakarinig ng tawa sa kabilang linya.
"Ah.. since your life was lonely recently. We specially prepared a gift for you. Have you already seen it? Do you like it?"
I looked around and saw a huge gift with a beautiful wrap. Ano nanaman kayang pakulo nila ethan?
"Ethan! Ano na naman 'to?" pasigaw kong tanong. Although lagi naman silang naghahanda ng mga ganito hindi parin ako nasanay kasi it's either babae 'to o just some pranks.
"Hehe, why not just focus on enjoying our gift. I promise you'll definitely be satisfied!" And with that, the other line hung up.
Bumuntong hininga ako at sinubukang tawagan ulit si Ethan, ngunit not in service na ang kabilang linya. Wala akong nagawa kaya I just open the gift. Pagka-bukas na pagka-bukas ko ay tumambad sa akin ang isang babae. Na agad ko namang kina-iwas ng tingin. WHAT THE HECK? Sabi na nga ba eh!
Tumingin ulit ako sakaniya ng kaunti. She had a pretty face, her lips were a cherry blossom shade, her eyes were vivacious. So this was the gift whom Ethan and the rest prepared for me?
But even if her eyes were vivacious, I still see the girl's sadness. She looked up, her eyes clouded with tears. "Help me .." she murmured, attempting to compose herself. But the quiver in her voice betrayed her true feelings..
Great. Just great. Ano ng gagawin ko dito?
