"Buwiset na buhay'to!" I irritatedly said and kick the sidewalk while watching the lights of the car kung saan ako bumaba na unti-unting lumalayo.

No! Don't fucking cry! I said in my mind while biting my lips but shit hindi talaga nag papigil ang bwesit kung luha sa pagpatak.

I am so irritated with my self. So much. He is not worth any single tear from me! But this stupid tear ducts of mine aren't following me.

The reason kung bakit ako umiiyak is because I caught my fucking boyfriend with a beautiful girl in the mall. But when I confronted him, He just broke up with me and his reason is, because Im so boring and napagkatuwaan lang nang  barkda niya. Shit lang!

F.U.C.K YOUR REASONS REID!

He even said that, He will never love me because I am not even beautiful and walang lalaki ang magseseryoso sa'kin.

Yeah! Who would even love a plain me.

I never really expected that it will end like this. I look stupid habang pinapalabas niya ako sa kotse niya. Ni hindi man lang siya nag-abalang ihatid ako sa dormitory ko.

Bweeeeeeesit na lalaki ka REID SMITH!

I squatted on the side walk. I don't care kung nag mumukha na akung tanga sa kakaiyak dito. Wala akung pake kahit tignan nyo pa akong paulit-ulit.

Tatawagan kuna sana ang kaibigan kung si Roxanne but alam ko na kung anong ang sasabihin nya sa'kin. Papagalitan lang naman ako nun kasi binalaan nya ako na wag kung sagutin si Reid nung nanliligaw palang ito but I never listen to her.

Now, ano? Heto ako, iiyak-iyak. Bullshit!

"The hell, ano nang gagawin ko?"- I never think that time would come and Reid will leave me. He is my first boyfriend. I even believed that we will last any longer.

Nung una palang siyang nanligaw sa akin ay hindi talaga ako makapaniwala. Yes. Kasi nag ka crush na ako sa kanya since my first day in school. I never expected that he would notice me. I am just a nerdy third year student. I am more of writing and field reporting kaysa sa pagpapaganda. While he is a handsome and popular boy in school.

But I even believe when he said that I am very different that I am beautiful for who I am. How would I know that from the start it was just a lie? A fucking lie.

I don't know kung ilang oras na akonng nakatalungko sa sidewalk habang umiiyak. I don't really care. Basta, ibubuhos kuna ang lahat nang frustrations ko sa buhay. I hope this would ease the pain in my heart.

Napatingin ako sa langit.

Ang ganda-ganda pa naman ng gabi dahil maraming bituin sa langit. If it was just in different day, I would gladly enjoy the night. But not this time.

"Hey! Miss, why are you crying here? You are blocking the way."

I raise my head mula sa pagkakatalungko while hugging my knees to see where the voice came from. There's a bicycle in front of me. Nakasakay sa bike ang isang lalaki na may dalang guitar case sa likod. He is wearing a cap at natatakpan ang kalahati ng mukha niya.

He is right kasi hindi makadaan ang bisikleta nito sa liit nang space nang lugar. Its already evening thats why theres a lot of cars at iba pang masasakyan na dumadaan sa lugar na'to. Suminghot ako and went to the sidewalk so that he could go then yumuko ulit ako and continued crying.

Nagulat ako nang inabutan niya ako panyo. Tiningnan ko ulit ang lalaki na nakasakay sa bisikleta. Hindi parin pala siya umaalis sa harap niya.

"Miss, wipe your tears. Aren't you aware that every time someones gonna pass by, can't help but look at you?"- He said.

"I don't care."- I said with a low tone. Why would I understand them samantalang my heart is already breaking into pieces?

The guy keep on insisting na tangganpin ko ang panyo. Naiinis na talaga ako sa lalaking to. Hindi parin kasi umaalis.

"Ano ba talaga ang gusto mo?"- I asked him IRRITATEDLY.

He just shrugged. "I saw you when you went out in the car earlier. I saw you from there." He pouty pointed the small club. Maybe he is a working student. "I can't leave you since I saw you cried. Nakokonsensiya ako."

"I'm ugly and stupid. Kaya ako ipinagpalit nang boyfriend ko sa maganda. Thats the reason why Im crying."- I bitterly said.

"You are not ugly. You're beautiful. You must have been Justin Bieber's inspiration when he wrote some of his songs."- Sabi nito.

I don't know why, that despite of this all.. I still manage to laugh. I will tell the truth, Its my first time to hear that pick up line. In the mean time, gumaan ang loob ko.

Kinuha ko nalang ang panyo at pinunasan ang mga luha ko. Hindi ko talaga gaanong nakikita ang mukha nang lalaki bukod sa medyo madilim din into na parte nang daan ay halos nakatakip pa sa mukha nito ang sout nitung bull cap. Tsaka, blurry na rin yung paningin ko sa kakakaiyak.

He didn't say any word. Pagkatapos ay may kinuha ang lalaki na kung ano sa bulsa niya. I laugh when he handed me a lollipop. Cute! This is my first time na bigyan ako nang candy ng isang lalaki.

I didn't accept it.

"May endorphins ang sugar. Nakakawala iyon nang stress. It will calm you for a while. I ate this when I am also stress. Try this, its effective."- He explained.

I tentatively reached out for the lollipop he offered me. I open it and eat it. Kahit paano ay gumaan din ang pakiramdam ko nang malasahan ko ang tamis nun. Nang tinignan ko ang lalaki ay nakatingin din pala ito sa akin. He smiled at me.

He blinked his eyes at saka tumikhim. "Mas maganda ka kapag nakangiti ka. Huwag kanang umiyak. Whoever that bastard is who messed up your life --- he's definitely not worth it."

Aweee. Nakaka touch naman. *O* napaiyak tuloy ako. Pinahid ko ang luha ko.

Looks like may gusto siyang sabihin sa akin but mukhang na-aalinlangan ito. Pero nag salita din uli ito. "Stay here. Don't go anywhere. Kukunin ko pa sa'yo ang panyo ko."- He firmly said then nag bike siya papalayo.

He left me while looking at his back na unti-unting nawawala dahil sa kidiliman nang gabi. I took a glance of the handkerchief he gave me -- I mean he left. I can't help but smile.

Hahay. Kahit papano ay may nangyaring maganda sa gabing ito.
