Quote for this Chapter:
"Kahit gaano kalawak ang pang-unawa mo, kapag inatake ka na ng selos, kikitid at kikitid pa rin ang utak mo."

“Hey, Do you want to try the lobster here? Its delicious!”
“Uhh.. no thanks. I rather have buttered chicken with a salad and some red wine” I said to the waiter standing close to our table
“I’ll have the same” and Gerard nodded at the waiter which meant that’s he’s done ordering
I was trying to avoid Gerard’s constant stares at me so I hid my self on the menu. It was really awkward going out with your ex for the first time after your break up. I don’t feel entirely comfortable about it
what made me do so??
It was last week when I bumped into Roselyn at Mcdonald’s with her mind-blowing news about her being pregnant
“Please, do me a favor. Well, atleast not for me but for this kid” she said while hinahawakan ang belly niya. Gesturing into her motherly touch
“Tell him, I’m bringing his own child right inside my body” she added
“What?! Huh? Don’t tell me, you didn’t tell him yet your pregnant?” I asked while my brows were pulled together
To my surprise, instead of answering me directly, she suddenly had the outburst and cried her self.. tears were rolling down her cheeks hysterically as she sobs
“Wait, don’t cry! I know you hate me and the feeling is mutual but hey! Don’t cry like I had slapped you okay?.. even if i want to from the very beginning .. still hey!” I said while I suddenly went panicked and I, surprisingly, found my self comforting her
“why didn’t you tell him? You can’t keep it as a secret much longer since your belly’s going to grow bigger.. you have to te—“
“how am I suppose to tell him straight to his face?” she looked up as she yanked away my hands from her
“when everytime I do, pinamumukha niya sa akin na ikaw lang yung mahal niya.. na ikaw lang sa puso niya?” bigla niyang pinahid ang mga luha sa pisngi niya and tried her best to control herself from more crying
“Alam mo ba gaano ka sakit yung ganon, Nina? Na whenever we’re at the peak of having sex its always your name that he moans?! And when asleep its always your name that he calls? Its hard, Nina! It’s fucking hard!”
pasigaw niyang sabi sabay daloy ng mas madaming luha na tumutulo sa mata niya Which entirely ruined her mascara
instead of laughing off because of Roselyn’s ugly state, ruined maked up, stressed-as-hell, huge dark circles under hear eyes, I found my self asking her in my most modest and caring voice
“What am I supposed to do, Roselyn?”
Her outburst abruptly stopped but she was still sobbing. “Please, tell him about our baby.”
“Why me?!” I automatically said
“He’ll listen to you, Nina. I know he will. please” she said while she held out both of my hands together pleading
“But, what if he wont?” I asked her as I stared at her watery eyes
“He’ll always listen to you, Nina. Believe it or not, you still have those effect on him” She said with all the honesty in her tone
“Siguro nga karma tong nangyayari sa akin for stealing him away from you. But you know, you might not notice but I was crazy about him kahit nung college days pa” she said as she smiled thinking about those good times
“What do you mean?”
“I love him nung unang pagkakita ko pa lang sa kaniya, Nina. He might not remember it, but it was during ACET when we first met. he nicely lent me a pen in the middle of examination and smiled at me. i know its stupid and corny but I fell for him hard with his smiles.”
“Nalungkot ako nung hindi ko siya nakita sa enrollment at nung freshmen orientation day, but Faith must’ve been playing when nalaman kong classmate ko pala siya sa Philosophy nung second year. At nung naging lab partner ko siya sa Biochem.. I thought It was my chance.”
She said as she smiled at me genuinely just thinking about it
“Pero, when I saw him as he kissed you on the cheeks sa parking lot, I felt like I was torn in to pieces. I felt my heart was smashed even more when I found out that you guys were still together even after graduation.”
She frowned as she slowly glared at me indicating how she hated me that time
“Perfect Fairytale nga daw yun eh! The beauty and brain, who happens to be the Cum Laude-- yes, that's you Nina! and the hottest guy on campus, who happens to be the guy im crazy about ..ended up together happily”
she rolled her eyes and looked away. Humarap siya sa salamin while attempting to fix her hair
“Kaya nung nalaman kong, he’s working on the same venture as I do, I didn’t hesitate to make a move, Nina. I didn’t back down without putting a fight, so I flirted everyday, I tempted him”
she snickered and looked away from the mirror that she was facing only to stare at me intensely
“and I was more than happy and elated when one night, he came knocking on my doorstep to make love to me. I was too in love to say No to him,Nina. Akala ko sa mga oras na yun nagwork ang plan ko which lead to your break up kaya I open-heartedly offered my self to him that night.”
I frowned at her as both of my brows were pushed together.
this girl I thought as i was feeling a little bit irritated with what i've found out
“pero, laking gulat ko the next morning, when I ran into the both of you while you were making out on the elevator HAH! i should've known better.." she said as she laughed bitterly.
and then the bitter laugh suddenly stopped only to see her staring at me
"nonetheless, im sorry. Sorry kung nasaktan kita ng mga panahon na yun.”
Her eyes began to water again as both of her hands were shaking while she’s trying to hold herself from having another outburst
“Say whatever you want, desperada na kung desperada, malandi na kung malandi, pero nagmamahal lang ako,Nina. At minsan, pag nagmamahal nagiging baliw. I guess I could say I didn’t regret anything because alam kong ginawa ko ang lahat”
She said while smiling with tears finally made its way to cascade down her face
“Roselyn..” I said in a soft-tone voice while I was attempting to step closer to her and lock her to my embrace but…
She took few steps backward as she waved her hands on me as if signaling to step back away from her
“Don’t!! don’t you dare comfort me, Nina. Wag mo na mas lalong iparamdam sa akin kung gaano ako ka-pathetic. Just do me a favor and tell him what is there to be heard”
she said and lock both of my hands together on her's
I took a long sigh and a longer time to reply to her. I analyzed everything in my head which made me utter my decision
“Fine fine” I said while I withdraw my hand from her and turned around to exit the bathroom not wanting to looked at her dreadful state anymore
I turned around only to say
“I’m not doing this because I pitied you or even want to make friends with you, I’m doing this for the kid on your tummy”
I was about to completely stepped out of the powder room and to jesse’s table, but before that happened I turned around once more and said
“Wala akong karapatan o ibang tao na humusga sa pagkkamali mo, TANDAAN, I might know your story, pero hindi ang nararamdaman mo."”
and by that, I totally made my way out of the powder room
which lead me to this current state of mine a week later ...where im having a date with Gerard—my ex at Galle Fort Hotel Restaurant which was almost filled with couples having date
“Hey, You used to be crazy about lobsters. Hindi mo na ba favorite yun ngayon?” he asked
“Uhh—well,favorite pa rin naman pero mas gusto ko lang talaga ang buttered chicken now. I’ve been eating seafoods with Iñi—“
I stopped in the middle when I was about to utter the name of Iñigo
“uuh—a friend! Yeah with Meg!”
He chuckled nervously as if trying to brush off the sudden tightening of his sense when I was half-way finishing my sentence
“No need to hide it, Nina. Alam ko pa din kung nag sisinungaling ka o hindi.” He said while looking at me as he flashes at me his smile
“Really? How?” I amusedly said while I withdrew the menu completely away out of my face
