Revenge of the Ex-Girlfriend

Elise POV

  I couldn't sleep the whole night. I stayed up thinking what should I do until morning came. I got off my bed and headed straight to the bathroom and took a shower. I ate my breakfast, went back to my room and locked myself.

  I heaved a deep sigh before picking up my phone and started to compose a text message.

'Come over please?'

  I pressed the send button and after a few minutes I recieved a reply from my bestfriend Monica.

'Okay, Im on my way. Wag ka magbibigti!'

Natawa ako sa reply niya, she's being crazy again. Ugh. Nahiga nalang muna ako while waiting for her. Staring at my room ceiling, hindi ko namalayan na nakapasok na pala ang bespren ko.

"I'm glad buhay ka pa!" She said as she saw me at umupo din sa kama ko, bumangon din ako and faced her.

"Bespren... Naguguluhan na ako. I really don't know what to do." I said and a tear fell from my left eye.

Monica hugged me and carresed my back comforting me.

"Bakit ka naguguluhan? Do you still love him?" Malumanay niyang tanong sakin. Umiling ako bilang sagot at humiwalay sa yakap.

"Hindi ko na siya mahal... And i'm sure of that.. Naka move on na ako." I said.

"Then, why are you confused? I don't think nakapagmove on ka na talaga."

"What?" I said in disbelief. She shrugged.

"Yupp. Cause if you really do, hindi ka maguguluhan. You will know the answer to your questions, hindi ka mahihirapan." She said like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"Now, tell me. Ano ba talagang nangyayari aside sa nangyari kay Myka?" She added.

I heaved a deep sigh first.

"I... I just want to take a revenge. My plan was just to confuse Alex. I want Myka to feel what I felt when Alex chose her over me. And I want Alex to know the feeling of being dumped and left. That was just my plan. Wala sa plano ko na mabuntis si Myka just because napagkamalan siyang ako, and now... Ayaw siyang tanggapin ni Alex. Naaawa ako sa bata... Paano na lang siya kung ayaw talaga siyang tanggapin ng ama niya? My conscience can't take that. Feeling ko ang sama sama ko nang tao." Sa gitna ng pagsasalita ko, I started to cry. There, I said everything that bothers me. Monica hugged me again.

"Hush now." She said as she carresed my back again. "Hindi ka masama, and hindi mo yun kasalanan. It's just the anger that pushes you kaya mo nagawa ang lahat ng iyon. Let me ask you," Humiwalay kami sa yakap, tiningnan niya ako ng seryoso, pinilit ko naman ang sarili ko na tumigil sa pag iyak.

"You succeeded in your plan to confuse Alex. Naging masaya ka ba sa result ng paghihiganti mo?" She asked, seriousness plastered on her face.

Napayuko ako at umiling.

"Hindi. I don't feel any triumph upon my success. It's like... It backfired." I almost whispered the last words.
