What's hurt the most seeing him fucking another girl?
We were engaged.
A month ago, Derek proposed to me and we were the only ones who knew about our engagement yet. Not anyone in our families yet. Hindi siya big deal para sa akin. I was living in the moment and we were planning on telling them to both our parents. I was scared, but deep inside of me, I was excited about how this new chapter of my life with Derek would gonna go.
But now, seeing him fooling around with someone else, it was over.
"Saan ba tayo pupunta, ha? May goods news ba or what? 'Di ba you auditioned for a role sa isang TVC? Did you get a news?" sunod-sunod kong tanong sa kanya at alam kong iritado siya kapag hindi niya kaagad nasagot ang unang tanong at susundan kaagad 'to ng isa pa.
"Somewhere," tipid nitong sagot sa akin.
Iminamaneho niya ang bagong sasakyan na regalo sa kanya ng parents niya. After my work, he fetched me up saying he has something up on his sleeves and I don't know if we would have just a fancy dinner somewhere else. Matagal na kasi niyang inaawit sa akin na kumain kami sa isang restaurant that offers a good steak. I knew I wouldn't be able to pay for that kind of meal, pero walang problema pagdating kay Derek. The prices doesn't even matter for him.
Hindi kalayuan ang ibiniyahe namin dahil inanusyo rin nito sa akin na nakarating na kami. Nang ma-realize ko kung saan kami pumunta ay hindi nga ako nagkamali. We'll be eating the one thing he has been asking to me for a week.
"Dito lang pala tayo pupunta, e. Hindi mo pa sinabi."
Napangisi naman ito. "I knew if I told you about it, you wouldn't want us to come instead choose another cheaper option. We can't turn back now. I booked a table for us tonight and it's hard to book a table for two unless they called in there was a vacant."
"How long did you book this one?"
"Just a few days ago and I was lucky I got to get us a table," proud pa nitong sabi sa akin. "Please, don't feel bad about anything tonight. I want this night a special one for us. We haven't been able to do this since we've both gotten busy with work so let's take this opportunity and it's Friday, who doesn't want to get drunk on a Friday night?"
I giggled. "I love a Friday night out! May plano nga sana ako with Danny, but we can do that some other time! At saka alam mo, my colleagues at work were so kind. Kung hindi mo lang daw ako susunduin ngayon, they would love to have me sa night out nila."
"That's nice, babe! Maybe you should do that next time, but don't believe all your colleagues are nice. I don't think all people are. . . Well, based on my experience with the projects I've worked on. A lot of them have bad motives."
"Hmm. . . I would keep that in mind, pero curious ako, what bad motives 'yon?"
Napangisi naman 'to. "You know, some indecent proposal. . . In exchange for better roles, a blow job, a hand job, or sex should be exchanged to do that. What a fucker."
