Imee Marcos' POV

We sat down on one of the benches. And I leaned my head on his.

"You are my moon, the one that's gives me light through darkness.." sabi niya.

"Ew, corny.." sagot ko naman at tumawa.

"Wait lang, makita ako ng anak ko dito!" dagdag ko pa at tumayo.

"Uy bumalik ka dito, safe ka kaya dito, busy yun sa taas.." sagot nito at hinila ako pabalik sa upuan.

"Okay, okay!" sagot ko naman at umupo ulit.

"Remember this? Do you still have yours?" he asked and showed something from his ring finger.

"Ofcourse, It's still there!" I replied and showed mine.

"Unexpected." he whispered.

"Unexpected ka diyan!" sagot ko naman.

"Tapos na ba kayo magharutan diyan?" Luke intruded.

"Tama ka na, Luke Ozoa ha! Bumalik ka dun!" biro ni Rodrigo.

"Chill, Rodrigo! I just came here to ask if may alak pa ba kayo, it's not a party if wala.."

"Actually, wala na.." sagot ko.

"Sayo? Kunan na din kita." I ask Rodrigo, took his glass, and sumama kay Luke.

"Thank you.." he mouthed and smiled.

"Wait for me.." I remind.

"Huy tama nang harutan, di ka iiwan niyan.." parinig ni Luke.

"Huy, chismis naman diyan.." dagdag pa neto habang naglakad kami papunta sa bar nila.

"Anong chismis, Ozoa?" tanong ko.

"Umiyak ba ang baliw?" sagot naman neto.

"Wala, ikaw yatang baliw dito ah?"

"It's the first thing I would do." sabi neto.

"At oo! Ako ang second na baliw, after ni Rodrigo, kasi baliw na baliw siya sayo." dagdag pa neto.

"Tama ka na, Luke. Manahimik." sabi ko.

"Ang tanong.. mahal mo pa ba?" tanong neto.

"Yan ba ang 'tahimik' sayo?" sarkastiko kong sagot.

"It's a question, nothing won't hurt if sagutin mo.." he rebutted.

"Yata.." sagot ko naman at ngumiti.

"Uy guilty!!" he teased.

"True love last nga naman pala!" he teased even further.

"Manahimik." sagot ko na naman at kinuha ang dalawang baso na nilagyan na ng bartender ng alak, bago naglakad paalis.

"Go confess or something!!" sabi ni Luke, tiningnan ko lamang siya ulit at inirapan.

"What if I do confess tonight?" tanong ko sa sarili.

-

I came back to the gazeebo, with a sore sight. Something I never expected I'd see.

Rodrigo pinned on the wall with Lillian, her awfully pink lipstick marks all over his face. His eyes widened and tried to get her off him.

I can't believe! I was thinking about our future, while he was hooking up with Lillian.

I laid the glasses on the table and walked away, as my tears flowed through my cheeks.

"Josefa!" he called but I choose to ignore. Josefa, he knows he screwed up
