Everything fades...like the colors in the paints, dye on the cloths, photographs, beauty, ang tao, even love...
Iyon ang nangyari sa kanila ni Rue. They were engaged for five years and about to be married if only there is no other woman appeared suddenly. A third party to call, but it's so different thing.
A week before their supposed wedding day, Rue had his bachelor's party at his best buddies' favorite getaway. So together with his friends, they spent a night where sky is the limit. Walang anumang balakid sa anumang maisip na gawin. That's of course, without her knowledge. At sinong maaaring magparating sa kanya noon gayung nang mga panahong iyon ay abala naman siya sa pag-aayos ng sariling despedida party to singlehood? At doon naganap ang siyang dahilan ng pagkakalabuan nila ngayon.
The night is so young para itigil mo ang pag-inom ng brandy, buddy. Wala kang bantay dito!
Buddy, siguradong malakas ang tama nito 'til tomorrow!
Well, that's the expense of being married by the end of the week. Mawawalan ka na ng pagkakataong gaya nito, so just enjoy it!
That calls for a toast!!!
While on the other room, opposite the stag party is where the group of girls who has their personal problems trying to make resolutions on it. They're having their heart to heart talk.
I think it's a bad idea na pumatol ka sa cheap na pamintang yon! Aside from wala na ngang backbone, wala pang penis na maipagmamalaki!
Watch your language!
Naku, okay lang, wala namang makakarinig kundi ang mga pa-demure effect kong kaibigan. You know, Hyannis, I've a dare to you. Iyon ay kung matapang ang sikmura mo na ipakita sa belekoy na si Drew na makakabingwit ka ng hamak na gwapo kesa sa kanya!
Ok, how?
Due to overdrunk, napatianod na lang si Hyannis sa kagustuhan ng kaibigang si Leizl, which happen to be the biggest change in her life.
Sa kabilang kwarto ay may stag party. Elite persons ang nasa kabila. I want you to act as a surprise to the groom and you can only do that wearing this, aryt?
If only for my dignity to resurrect! I'll do it!
And she did. She entered the room together of course with her friends all drunken. They wore the sexiest dress ever worn in their entire lives, in the spirit of wine.
Sa kabila ng kalanguan, alam niyang nagmukha siyang tuod kahit pa sabihing naka-maskara sila at tago ang mukha. They hear them tease the groom. Out of drunkenness, hindi niya mawari kung sino ang groom na dapat nilang aliwin. At paano siya makakabingwit ng kahit isa sa kanila?
Sandali!!! Nasaan ba ang groom at nang mapasaya namin? Marahil dahil sa kalasingan kaya nagawa niyang makasigaw at umagaw ng atensiyon.
O sige, ganito na lang! Let's form a circle, kung sino ang dalawang matatapatan ng magkabilang dulo ng bote na ito, that should be a boy and a girl, then sila ang partner for the night!
And she heard everyone agreed to the idea of Baelinda, the sexiest of the five of them. Tamang-tamang lima rin lang ang nasa kabilang grupo. At umikot ang bote. Hindi na niya mawari kung paano, sino ang magkakapareha. Basta't naulinigan na lang niya ang mga hagikgikan at tawanan ng mga naging couple for a night only.
And she remained alone. Iyon ang pagkakaalala niya, hanggang sa maramdaman niyang may bumubuhat sa kanya sa kung saan. And she felt something on her skin. Somebody's kissing her on her neck. She tried to stop it, but she can't. Or is it, she don't want him to stop?
Because of all her mysterious partner's movement, she's answering harmoniously. Hindi niya alam kung saan nanggagaling ang mga sagot niyang iyon sa kapusukan ng stranger. Siya na never pang nahalikan, at mahahalikan na nga sana kundi lang niya nalamang bakla ang bf niya.
Pero hindi nya naiisip ang mga bagay na iyon ngayon. Ni ang heartbreak niya, ang estranged bf, ang bukas...she is focused on this activity that is getting on its climax. He sets his manhood on hers, and then to and fro, they collided. At first it seems it's piercing her apart, but then a little deeper and she felt like paradise.
Alam niyang naluha siya pagkatapos noon, at narinig niyang inalo siya nito.
I'm sorry...let me do it again and this time, gently--again, he kissed her. She thought that night, she gave everything to this man. A stranger in the night. His lips taste like strawberries, and he kisses like a real gentleman. Together, their souls united as one, and this time she felt like in heaven.
And before the night gets older, she heard him say "thank you for this great night" then together they sleep soundly with smile on their faces.
The next morning, hindi niya alam kung ano ang mas uunahing intindihin, ang masakit na ulo dahil sa hang-over, ang katawang napagod, o ang sariling katabi ang isang hindi nakikilala.
OMG! Who gave you the permission to enter my room?!
Hey, don't try to tell me you are not remembering anything happened last night? Oh come on, we enjoyed doing things together, right?
And she tried to close her eyes, at pinilit uriratin ang naghihingalong alaala niya.
I'm sorry, pero mahina talaga ako sa alak and so as my memory during those moments. But, hell, if ever that there's something happened between us--at sinilip niya ang kahubdan underneath the blanket na may mantsa pa ng purity niya. At nagsimula siyang umiyak.
Look, do not misinterpret me as a man who took advantage of anybody's drunkenness, especially you, but I'm really sorry sa nangyari kung hindi mo iyon ginusto--at dumapo ang manipis niyang palad sa pisngi nito. The first time also that she slaps somebody. Sinamantala niya ang pagkabigla nito at dali-daling pumunta ng comfort room upang ayusin ang sarili.
She felt so violated. It's pathetic, too. She's so disappointed of herself na magagawa ang bagay na ito. At paano na ang iniingatan niyang tanging kayamanang ipinagmamalaki niya sa bawat makaharap niya lalo na sa mga kalalakihan? And where the hell her friends are?
Narinig niyang kinakatok siya ng estranghero.
By the way, I am Rue. What about you?
H-Hyannis. You know what, it doesn't matter kung kilala kita. Hindi naman kita makakasuhan ng rape case. But will you please leave me alone first? I need silence!
At nang nakaayos na siya'y may kung ano siyang naramdaman. Is it hang-over?? The ground is shaking, and so as her vision. Then nawalan na siya ng malay.
For a while, alam niyang nakatulog siya, nahimatay dahil sa kung anumang bagay na dumampi sa ulo niya. Ngunit ang huling bagay na naalala niya bago siya tuluyang mawalan muli ng ulirat ay ang pilit na pagbukas ng estrangherong si Rue sa pintuan ng banyo at ang pagmamadali nitong makapasok.
Are you alright? Hey, Hyannis! Wake up!
Then darkness...
