Hatreds.

Disappointment.

Judging eyes.

Accusations.

All were thrown to her. Disregarding the fact that they once fell in love with her, protected her, made her their queen.

The people who were once proud of her, turned their backs against her and now her wreckers.

They were saying such words that kill her slowly, eating her whole.

Those words were inaudible but enough to be understood.

"SLUT"

"SUCH A DISGRACE"

"MALANDI"

"PUTA"

"POKPOK"

Maine covered her ears and closed her eyes as she kept on pleasing them to stop. But they were non-stop just like her tears while escaping from her eyes.

She was weak. Her legs are wobbling from the fear. And she has nothing to do but to cry.

No one was there to comfort her. Not even her family, friends nor the dabarkads. Not even RJ.

They all left her behind.

When the shouts went down, she opened her eyes and saw the mad crowd coming for her, they were holding her posters, magazines, pictures— and they were burning it, tearing it into pieces, would spit on it.

And they were slowly coming for her as if they would burn her alive and so she ran for her lives but the people didn't stop.

"INIIDOLO KA PA NAMAN NAMIN TAPOS MAGPAPABUNTIS KA LANG NG MAAGA"

"SANA HINDI KA NA LANG NAMIN PINAGTANGGOL NOON"

"AKALA KO PA NAMAN MATALINO KA"

"NICOMAINE. ANONG GINAWA MO!? NIYURAKAN MO ANG APELYIDO NATIN"

It was her father.

She shouted, while running.

"NO. PLEASE. I'M SORRY. I'M SO SORRY. PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU"

"RJ! RJ! RJ!"

She was calling him

"Maine... Maine... Maine..."

"No... RJ! No... NO!"

"MAINE!"

Maine had opened her eyes. Her cheeks were stained with dry tears, she was catching her breath.

And she saw Coleen who was caressing her head.

"Okay ka lang? Having a bad dream?"

She nodded.

"Kanina ko pa naririnig na tinatawag mo yung pangalan ni Tisoy kaya tinawagan ko siya para pumunta dito, papunta na raw siya. Tubig? Gusto mo?"

She nodded and smiled.

Her sister came back with a glass of water, inabot niya 'to kay Maine tsaka umupo sa tabi nito.
