Ann's POV
"Ann bilisan mo ngaaaa!!!!" Ayan na ang bumberooo ay este ang kuya ko pala HAHAHA
"Andyan naaa pababa na poooo!!!" Sabi ko at nagtatakbo sa hagdan pababa.
"Kelan kaya bibilis ang kilos mo?"
"Ah siguro kapag nagka-asawa ka na kuya HAHAHAHA!" Sabi ko at humagalpak ng tawa.
"Hay nako Eric! Mabibwisit ka lang dyan sa kapatid mo. Kumain na kayo bago pa kayo malate" sabi ni mommy kaya nagbeso kami kay mommy at umupo na sa pwesto namin sa dining table.
"Oh Eric, alam mo na ah, bantayan mo ang kapatid mo sa school."
"Yari ka sakin kapag ako naging prof mo." Yes readers! You read it right, Professor po ang Kuya ko, and nagtuturo sya sa school na pinag aaralan ko.
"Edi iwi-wish ko na di kita maging prof." Sabi ko at kumain na kami.

"Take care you two. Ann, remember what your dad told you ha?"
"I'll try mommy."
"Why can't you stop being a playgirl Ann?"
"You all know the reasons why." Sabi ko at pumasok na sa passenger seat. Si Kuya naman sa driver seat.
Habang nasa byahe kami magpapakilala muna ako. I'm Ericka Ann Monteverde, A 3rd year college student indeed, IT student, I'm 17 turning 18 this year, and yes, about what my mom mentioned earlier, kinausap ako ni Daddy before he go to a business shit, pinapatigil na nila ako sa paglalaro ng feelings ng mga lalaki, or simply being playgirl.
I started being a playgirl when I was in my 4th year high school. I had a boyfriend for a year and a half, pero nalaman ko na he's just playing with my feelings at pinagpustahan lang nila ako, and another thing gangster ang nanakit sa akin, that's why naging playgirl ako and also I hate gangster na, dahil ilang beses narin akong muntik mapahamak dahil sa gangster na ex ko na yun.
Why am I doing this? Hindi ako gumaganti, i just want the feeling na sila naman yung umaasa at ako naman yung walang pake.
"We're here." Bigkas ni kuya. Bubuksan ko na sana yung pinto ng sasakyan when he spoke.
"Ann please, We want you to be better, I know you're excellerating in terms of academics, but please stop this non sense shit."
"Me being hurt is not a shit Kuya. He did this to me, If he didnt played my feelings, magiging ganito ba ako? Of course not." I coldly said. "Baba na ako, malilate na ako." Sabi ko nalang at bumaba na ng sasakyan.
I will introduce my family to you guys, My Father's name is Roderick Monteverde, my mother's name is Bea Annalize Monteverde, while my brother's name is Eric Angelo Monteverde. Our name looks like a tein right? Its because dalawa lang kaming anak nila mommy, and our bond is like a twin, at mukha kaming kambal pero di talaga kami kambal HAHAHA
"Anneng!!!!" Sigaw ng mga kaibigan ko.
"Ang layo ko pa, boses niyo agad ang nangingibabaw." Sabi ko.
"Syempre naman HAHAHA." Sabi ni Shaina.
We just have some chit chats bago may pumasok na professor, and to be surprise, yung ate pa ng ex ko, what a small world naman talaga.
"Good Day! 307I, I am your professor Marjorie Lalaine Rodriguez." Sabi nya, im just looking at the front coldly. Hanggang sa nagtama yung tingin namin.
"Ann, it's been a long time." Sabi nya kaya napatingin lahat ng kablockmates ko sa akin.
I sit properly and talk casually "Sorry Ma'am, this is the first time I saw you, I didnt know you, baka po ibang Ann yung tinutukoy niyo." I said coldly.
"Can I talk to you privately?" She asked and I nodded. Maaga nyang dinismiss ang class namin at ni-lock nya yung pinto ng room.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I just want to say sorry in behalf of my brother."
"You dont need to. Sya ang may kasalanan sa akin and hindi ikaw."
"Nga pala, about my brother, he died last year."
"Akala ko ba ang masamang damo hindi agad agad namamatay? Eh mas masahol pa sya sa masamang damo eh, bakit namatay agad?" Wala akong pake kung naooffend ko siya, basta ang akin lang wala na akong pake sa kanya at sa kahit na sino na konektado sa kanya.
"He died because of a car accident, actually nabuhay pa sya for how many days, and he wants me to tell you how sorry he is for hurting you, how jerk he is para saktan yung babaeng walang ibang ginawa kundi mahal–"
"STOP! I dont want to hear it." Sabi ko at akmang aalis na.
"Wait Ann! He also wants me to give this you. Please kahit ito lang i-accept mo na." Sabi nya kaya napilitan akong kunin yung maliit na box na yun at dumiretso ako sa rooftop, the most peaceful place for me.
Umupo ako sa isang corner and start unwrapping the box that is covered with a gift wrapper. Pagka open ko, bumungad sa akin yung singsing na nakita namin sa isang jewelry shop sa mall noon.
Pakiramdam ko nag uunahang magsitulo yung mga luha ko. Why is he giving this to me? Sa paghahalungkat ko may nakita akong letter.
July 15, 20**
Dear Ann Ko:
Hope you remember this ring. Ito yung nakita natin sa shop na pahirapan pa tayong nakaalis kasi naattach ka masyado sa uniqueness ng singsing na to na sinasabi mo. Ito dapat yung gift ko sayo on your birthday. Im planning to propose to you to be my real girlfriend. I was about to tell you the truth about that bet, pero naunahan ako nila Charles. And also , im a gangster and yes, im a playboy before I met you. Inaamin ko at first di kita minahal but in that One year and a half , natutunan kitang mahalin and also nakita ko yung uniqueness nung singsing na yan. Sorry for everything that I did to you, sa mga gang fights namin na napapahamak ka, im really sorry, i hope you forgive me one day. Siguro nga Im not the right guy for you but I can be your guide para mahanap yung tamang lalaki para sayo. I will always love you until my last breath, my love.
Dominic
Di ko na napigilang mapahagulgol dahil sa letter. Why is it always late Dominic?
I just punch the wall hanggang sa mailabas ko yung lahat ng galit at energy na meron sa akin.
Siguro nga mapapatawad kita, but not now, maybe in the near future.
