Encounter 

Pumasok ito sa comfort room kaya sinundan ko siya. I have my reason para sundan siya. Duh, kung ano man ang binabalak niya kay One ay hindi ko iyon hahayaan. Nauna siyang pumasok kaya naghintay ako, sa sobrang lawak ng bahay nila Ralia ay minsan naliligaw ako. I heard she flushed kaya nagkunwari akong nag-aapply ng foundation.

"Oh, you're Ralia's friend, aren't you?" Bitch, stop pretending. Kumukulo ang dugo ko sa'yo.

"Ah, yes. Who are you, by the way?" Nawala ang matamis na ngiti nito. Pero kaagad rin iyong bumalik sa labi niya at nagsalita.

"Hindi ba na-kwento ni Ralia sa'yo? I am V, half sister"

Talagang may endearment talaga siya para kaya One? Tss.

"Really? Nice to meet you." Ngumiti ako ng napakalawak, mas malawak pa sa noo niya. She looks nice and sexy. She has the curve and angelic face, pero hindi pa rin mababawasan ang pagka-irita ko sa kaniya.

"I'm Cristina Villacarlos" Naglagay ako ng lipstick bago ko tinanggap ang kamay niya. Nagulat ako ng nabitin sa ere ang bibig nito.

"Omo, are you using MMM new lipstick? Gosh, that's a limited edition! Bibili sana ako kaso naubusan." Napangiti ako.

"Really, I have one here. Bibigay ko nalang sa'yo" Mabilis kong kinuha ang isang lipstick. "Here" Mabilis na tinanggap niya ito.

Easy to get.

"You must very fan of her! You know nabalitaan kung nagbakasyon daw ang CEO nila dito sa pinas, and I heard rumors na she's married na daw."

Chismosa.

"Really? Hindi ko alam." Pagkukunwari ko. She made a face. Wow, close?

"Updated nga ang lipstick mo hindi ka naman updated sa kaniya! Pero girl, I admire her so much. She is so beautiful she gave people hope to be beautiful too. I like her for that"

Matotouch na sana ako pero naalala kong linta pala itong kaharap ko. How dare she call me girl? Close kami? Excuse me hindi pasado sa standard ko ang babaeng kagaya niya. Silently hitting someone's man.

"I saw you staring on me earlier. One's just so sweet for me" Mabilis akong napatingin sa kaniya. Parang tumaas ang presyon ko sa sinabi niya.

"Stop hitting someone's man" I said. I saw how her face harden.

"Excuse me? Are you accusing that I'm flirting my brother? Oh my god! That's ridiculous of you. That's incest!" I rolled my eyes.

"Your brother is madly inlove with my best friend don't try to fit in someone's shoes, girl. Be a woman with dignity not a girl with naughty personality."

"How dare you to say that to me!" She hissed. Mabilis kong nasangga ang kamay niya sa ere.

"Bakit ba lagi kayong nanampal kapag ganito ang eksena? Alam niyo bang nakakasawa rin? Here, take this with you nang magising ka naman sana katotohanan!" Mag-asawang sampal ang iginawad ko sa kaniya.

"If you don't stop that madness of yours! Makakarating ito kay Ralia." I warned her. Her face looks so angelic but her thoughts is so dangerous.

"Go on, I don't care! Ako ang pipiliin ni One! He said he loves me! He care for me! I am going to take him with me!"

Nagulat ako sa kaniyang sinabi. Another two slaps landed on her face, pulang pula na ito dahil sa sampal ko.

"You are a son of a bitch! Hindi ikaw ang gusto ni One. That man loves my best friend so much, I witness how he show his affection towards to our friend. But you came, tama nga si Ralia. You deserve the hate. Kaya ito lang ang masasabi ko, babae sa babae"

"Bago mo gamitin ang bagong lipstick ko, kilalanin mo muna ang kaharap mo." Dagdag ko pa at matalim siyang tiningnan.

"Bakit sino ka ba sa akala mo!? E hamak ka lang naman na kaibigan ni Ralia! Huwag kang umasta na parang nakakataas ka! You are just a piece of shit!"

Napabuga ako ng hangin. How many times did I encounter a scene like this?

"First of all, I am the owner of MMM Corp. Ako ang may ari ng lipstick na hawak mo, pangalawa, hindi ako hamak na kaibigan ni Ralia, kung hindi dahil sa kaniya hindi ako maikakasal kay Yurki ang pinsan niya. Pangatlo, kayang-kaya kong bilhin ang pagkatao mo kaya bago mo ako sabihan ng masama, know your place, girl. Tsk, you're not worthy to be a woman, you are just a girl who's still hiding on someone's sleeve"

"Sumusobra kana!" Susugudin na niya sana ako ng may pumagitna sa amin.

"Stop this bullshit of yours, sister. Go home before I lost my cool." It was One's voice.

"V.." Lumambing ang boses nito.

"Don't call me that, go, go home. It was nice to see you after those years but seeing you doing this, I cannot bare to see my woman cry because of this shit of yours!" Lumaki ang boses nito. Nagulat ako.

"V, let me exp--"

"I heard enough, you can go home. Leave this place, don't go back. I give you what you want, you want money? House? Car? Jewelry? There! Take this! Two hundred million dollars, I cannot make my woman lose her trust on me." Mabilis na tinapon ni One ang tsekeng nanggaling sa kamay nito.

"You are not like this! You used to be kind and generous! But this I can't believe you!" She cried.

"This is what I do for love, if I lose the girl I love, babalikan kita" May pagbabantang sabi ni One at iniwan kaming dalawa ng babaeng ito.

"You! You! See what happend? Ha!" Dinuro duro niya ako. Mabilis kong kinuha ang kamay niya at binali iyon.

"AAAAAAHHH!"

"Now, leave, find a doctor and leave the hell out of my sight, you motherfucker bitch!" I screamed. Nakaramdam ako nang sakit and Yurki came to rescue me in the bathroom. Maagang natapos ang party dahil sa nangyari at humingi ng pasensya si One sa parent's ni Li. Paulit-ulit kahit sinasabi nila Tita na ayos lamang ang nangyari.



 The next days and months is Eresia's moving on Era, turns out his soon to be husband is diagnosed of sever leukemia and bound to die. In other hand, Ralia is engaged to one and also to be wed. 

While me, I am waiting for my labor. 

"Does it hurt so much, anak?" Umiling ako kay Mama. 

"It's bearable. It's women's fate to be like this." 

"I understand your sentiments, anak. Konting tiis nalang lalabas na ang apo ko." I smiled. 

My parents decided to visit me. Simula noong nabuntis ako ay sila muna ang namahala sa kompanya at maayos naman ang takbo nito. 

"Where's your husband, by the way?" Papa asks. 

"He went to grocery shop; I told him too. Nasasatisfy akong makita siyang madaming dala, ewan ko bakit gustong-gusto ko 'yon." I laugh. 

Biglang kumirot ang aking tiyan, "Hoo, they're moving and k-kicking unuasually."

"You only have two weeks left and they will come out, isn't exciting?" Mama glimmer in excitement. 

"I'm sure as hell, it will be painful too. Yurki always apologize that he put his sperm inside me. But I like kids and I want this too." I spoke. 

"The both of you is surely matched from heaven. I never doubted his intention once. I know everything about the two of you and I am glad it is resolved." Papa says. 

"I am glad things are better now." I smile. 

I cannot wait to see his reaction when I gave birth to these precious gems. No one knows the gender, and none seen my ultrasound. I want to shock everyone. It is because the world is always shocking too.
