Oh well. Not bad. Not so bad for a scandalous scene.

Jaycee said the asshole is here with the girl. And he's right. Sa parking lot palang, nakita ko agad ang Ford Ranger ni Raunald.

Naglakad ako papuntang seaside. Bingo. He's there. Kasama ang isang babae.

Nakatalikod sila sakin pero mula sa gazebo kung nasa'n sila mga dalawampung metro ang layo sa akin... I can hear their laughs.

They're teasing each other, sweetly.

Ha! Not. So. Fast. Raunald Angelo Sy. Because your night... will be ruined.

I walked towards them. Slowly. Iningatan kong hindi nila marinig 'yong footsteps ko.

May mga bumati habang naglalakad ako palapit sa kanila. Ngumiti at tumango lang ako.

Shit. Mariin akong napapikit. Mukhang marami akong kakilala dito.

Nang nakarating na ako sa bandang likuran ni Raunald ay agad akong nagsalita.

"Hi! Mind if I join you, guys? I'm starving, eh. Jaycee said you're here, honey."

Talagang inemphasize ko 'yong endearment naming dalawa. They look startled. As I expected.

Tumayo agad si Raunald at hinarap ako. He looks so nervous. I'm enjoying this.

"A-Aemy? W-What a-are you d-doing here?" He is stuttering. Asshole. Seriously? You are asking me that?

"Ohh. Why? Am I not welcome here? My boyfriend is here having dinner with..."

Tiningnan ko 'yong babaeng nakaupo. I looked at her with a smirk on my face.

"This girl? Really honey? Who is she by the way? Your new housemaid? You didn't tell me—"

"Shut up, Aemy!" Sinigawan niya ako. Aba!

"Shutting me up?! What Raunald?! You are shutting me up?! Would you like to explain what the hell is going on here before hella stopping me because I'm telling you. I'm. Telling. You."

I didn't raise my voice actually. Just enough to let them both hear what I say.

Gusto ko na siyang sampalin ngunit pumungay ang mga mata niya.

Those eyes. Oh, c'mon. Don't show me those eyes.

I hate you right now more than anyone.

I loved you, dearly. Sa loob ng tatlong buwan nating pagsasama minahal kita tapos ito igaganti mo? What a piece of bullshit.

I assure earth, ngayon palang sinusuka na kita at kahit kailan hindi ako mahihirapan mag move on sa'yo.

Umamba siyang hahawakan ang mga kamay ko pero umatras ako at itinaas ang dalawa kong kamay at itinulak siya.

"Don't you dare touch me, Sy."

"A-Aemy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You see, I tried. To love you. But this isn't working. Just please let me explain everything. About me... and Rojean." Tiningnan niya 'yong babaeng nakaupo sa gilid ko.
