I can hear some whispers around my room. Dahan-dahan kong tinanggal ang sleep mask ko. I smiled at the view I'm looking at.

It's V holding a cake, my minions holding 3 balloons-Mich holding a number 2 shaped balloon, Shara with a number 1 shaped balloon, and Claire with a crown shaped balloon. Then Darcy's holding a tray. Bumangon naman ako at lumapit naman si V sa'kin.

"Make a wish." Inilapit niya ang cake sa'kin. Ano nga bang i-wiwish ko? Tinitigan ko ang candle. I don't even know what to wish. Bumuntong hininga ako at pinikit ko ang mata ko.

I wish to be happy today.

I blew out the candle and I heard them clapping.

"Happy Birthday B!" sabay-sabay nilang bati sa akin.

"Thank you girls." I forced a smile because I am really not happy today. But kahit papano, medyo napagaan naman ang loob ko dahil sa ginawa nila.

Nilapag naman ni V ang cake sa bedside table ko at naupo sa tabi ko. "So B, since wala tayong pasok today. What do you want to do? You should probably spend your day at the spa for your party." Tumango naman ako. Naupo naman yung tatlo sa couch ng room ko.

"But before that, you need a good breakfast." Lumapit naman si Darcy at inilapag niya ang breakfast tray sa kama ko and tumambad sa akin ang all-time favorite breakfast ko. Waffles, blueberries, whipped cream, chocolate chips and of course, a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

"Happy birthday po Miss B." bati niya sa akin at nginitian ko naman siya.

"Thank you Darcy." Tapos sinimulan ko ng kumain.

"Kumain na ba kayo girls?" tanong ko sa kanila. Tumango naman sila.

"Okay." Sabi ko naman. I continued eating Darcy's waffles, and believe me that her waffles are really the best.

"So B, excited ka na ba mamaya?" lumapit si V sa akin as she took a blueberry from my plate.

"I don't know." Mahinang sagot ko. Mataman niya akong tinignan, and I know that look. It's the uh-oh-what's-wrong-B?-look.

"Uhh girls, can you go to The Palace and check if everything's all set for tonight?" kinuha ko naman ang isang listahan sa drawer ng bedside table ko at inabot sa kanila. "Everything's in that list, so check niyo then give me a call if something's not right."

"Got it B! Later!" sabi ni Claire tapos lumabas na sila nila Mich sa room ko.

"So is it Ken?" tanong agad ni V sa akin.

"Yes." I bit my lower lip. Tinutusok tusok ko naman with my fork ang isa pang waffle. Ramdam ko na nakatingin lang sa akin si V. Itinulak ko naman ng konti ang breakfast tray and lied down on V's lap.

"I can't believe he laughed at me." I sighed. Pinaglaruan naman ni V ang buhok ko. "I mean, minsan lang ako maging tapat sa nararamdaman ko sa isang tao, bakit ganun V? I assumed Ken liked me based on what he's shown pero now I know kung bakit ang daming babaeng nahuhulog sa kanya."

"I'm sorry B." sambit niya sa akin. "I think it's my fault pushing you to confess."

"Hindi no V. It was my choice too. I wanted to be bold, at hindi ko na rin kasi kaya na itago na lang. I feel like exploding and it did explode. And my pieces are everywhere. I'm all over the place." Pinaglaruan ko naman ang mga daliri ko at napapikit.
