"Diba si Finn Lewis yan? Ang ganda ganda na niya ngayon 'no?" -Batchmate guy 1
"Do you think she's still single?" Batchmate guy 2
"Sa ganda niyan? Naa I don't think so." Batchmate guy 3
"Balita ko may fianceé siya eh. Nalaman ko lang sa isa nating ka batchmate." Batchmate guy 4
"Haha! Stop staring boys... Taken yan. Doctor yata yung alam kong profession nung guy eh." Batchmate girl 1
"Ahh. Not so bad. Doctor naman pala.." BG 2
"And excuse me, maganda na talaga siya dati pa. Mas maganda nga lang ngayon kasi mas refined na."
That was just some of the usap usapan sa reunion. Pero Finn was oblivious to the stares and gossips dahil na iimbyerna siya. Dagdagan pa ng bagong lapit na si Lorraine Dy. Their batch Valedictorian.
"Nagkita din tayo after so many years Ms. Second place. Kamusta kana?" Anito pagkalapit sa kanya and as usual, kasama na naman nito ang dalawang alipores na hindi nagbago since HS. "Ow, you're not going to be mad right? Nakasanayan ko nang tawagin kan Miss Second Place eh. But I'm sure hindi kana man na ganun. You're even marrying Steven Go, one of the promising Doctors in the country."
"Lorraine don't be like that... Hindi mo ba alam, she was left at the altar kasi bumalik si Steven sa ex girlfriend niya." Ani Alipores 1.
"What? Oh myyyy..." Gulat na bulalas nito and Finn knew better. They just want her to look pitiful. "I'm really sorry. Hindi ko alam kasi hindi naman ako naka base dito but sa US so I am not really updated. But you know, andami namang lalake dyaan. I could even introduce you to one of my friends."
Dapat siguro ay hindi na siya pumunta. Ni hindi pa nga niya nakikita ang ipinunta niya rito eh gusto na niyang umuwi.
(Ugh~ parang maduduwal pa naman ako ..)
"No thanks Lorraine. I'm fine. Infact---"
"No you're not. I can see it in your eyes..."
"Halos isang taon na kaming hiwalay ni Steven so I'm fine, really "
"Awwee dear. This is so sad. You're trying to be brave. Pero alam ko, deep inside you're still hurting. Steven Go is... Uhm siya lang kasi ang...you know... With your status.... You can't find a man better than him. Kaya I know how it feels..."
"Ah, so nangyari na rin sayo ang ganun? Yung you can't find a better man dahil sa status mo?" Balga niya. Pag siya hindi tinigilan ng babaeng 'to ay makakatikim talaga sa kaniya. Isinusumpa niya lalo na ngayon at wala siya sa mood.
Wala si Jillian dahil nakita na nito si Jessie at hindi niya alam kung saang lupalop ang mga ito nagsusuot kaya walang pipigil sa kanya kung bangasan niya ang mukha ng babaeng ito sa harap niya. She's been fed up with her since high school!
"Pfft! No way ano? Uhm well not like your situation. Ako kasi yung pinipilahan, alam mo yun? Andami kong choices. That's why I am not yet settled. Andami kong pinagpipilian. That's why I am offering you one of mine."
"Well, good for you. Pero ayoko. Ayoko kasi sa mga matatanda."
"You!!" Pulang pula ang mukha na wika nito but was cut by her alipores dahil nagtitinginan na sa kanila halos lahat ng naroon. So she composed her self. "I am doing you a favor here Finn. Bakit ba inis na inis ka saken?"
"Ha? Ako? Ni wala nga akong paki alam sa'yo eh. I came here for Teacher."
"Hahaha! Reaaaalllyyy? Hindi ba dahil gusto mo'ng maka bingwit nang lalake ngayon since you are dumped by Steven Go?!" Sa lakas ng boses nito ay nakatuon na sa kanila ang pansin ng lahat. "And don't be a hypocrite, alam kong inis ka sa'ken kasi you are always second to me kahit sa ano'ng paraan."
