Amity's Point of View:

I returned to my senses and realized we've arrived at her place. Awe and wonder struck me as we got in the gate. It's really perfect. It's her dreamt-house. I was with her as she drew it when we were in 5th grade. The tree house! I can't believe what I'm seeing right now. I'm tapping my mouth as I rushed towards the tree house. It's extraordinary. Nilingon ko si Dillenna, she's watching me with a smile perfectly painted on her face.

"D. It's so perfect! There's no other word enough to describe the grandeur of all these!"

"Yes A. Not that I'm a materialistic person, but all of these proved he really loves me. I thought he was only making up stories when he told me he has loved me since he first saw me when we're in 7th grade."

Matagal na niyang gusto si Dillenna? That was the same time I started admiring him, we're in 7th grade. He was wearing a white and black polo shirt that day. He's so simple and appealing at the same time. All those times I thought he's looking at me, si Dillenna pala talaga ang tinitingnan niya no'n?

"A? Ba't ka umiyak?"nag-aalalang tanong niya. Niyakap niya agad ako. "A? Ano'ng problema?"

"Wala... wala D. Masaya lang ako para sa'yo..."

I heard her sniffing. She's also crying. Her two bright brown eyes pierced through my eyes with tears in them.

"Thank you, A. You don't have to cry. Pinapaiyak mo rin ako eh! Tara na nga! Let's get inside the house. You still have to take a medicine. Then, I'll show you the walk-in closet."she excitedly muttered.

Dumaan muna kami sa kwarto niya... nila. She left her things there and we went off to get a medicine and a glass of water for me. Right after she assured I'm fine, we went to her walk-in closet. If I will say I'm amazed when I saw the designer stuffs inside the room, it would be the understatement of the year. I can't clasp the perfect word to describe how much in awe I am seeing her dream walk-in closet with stuffs costing more than a million.

"I'm out of words here."I whispered.

"You can try on everything you want."she offered.

"No. Theon bought all these for you."

"I can always share everything with my bestfriend."nakangiting saad niya at saka kumuha ng isang Dior dress. "Here. Try this on."

"No. I can't take it D."

"Are you rejecting me?"malungkot na tanong niya.

"Fine. Give it to me."

As I tried it on, she called out to borrow my phone. When I returned to her, she's talking to someone on the phone.

"Yes love. I went home. Amity's with me here. She's sick... Hmm. Yes... Okay. See you later. Bye... I love you too, Theon."

Humarap siya sa'kin and smiled widely. I don't know what to say. Did she just call him using my phone? Bigla akong nanlamig. What made me more tensed is her smile. Although it's here genuine smile, I'm afraid she's only faking it and that she really had already caught me texting her husband.

"You look great! It's perfect on you! When I've set my eyes on that garment, I honestly thought of you. You're really my bestfriend. Like what we've promised since then A, what I have is also yours. Now, I just can't believe I'm finally sharing a walk-in closet with my bestfriend in the world! What else do you want? What about bags? Shoes?"

"Ye—yeah. O—okay. Let's get this over with."

She handed me a Miu Miu sandal we once surfed together on the internet. We've tried a few more until we've eventually decided to go. We took a lot of pictures with those different dresses on.

"We look like twins here, A."she commented as we reviewed our pictures. "Here. I'll just get us something to eat."

Nang lumabas na siya ay patuloy lang ako sa pag-ii-scan ng mga pictures sa camera niya. I reached the first photo we've taken together today. I was tempted to carry on skimming the previous pictures. It started with a picture of them I suspected was taken outside on the night of his birthday. The next few more were stolen shots of each of them. There's even a picture of her inside their hot tub. It's a candid shot of her laughing her heart out. Her body's covered with bubbles. When I saw one picture of them kissing, my hands, as if with its own life, automatically pressed the delete button.

With a tray on her hands, she returned to the room still wearing her cheerful face. I immediately turned off the camera. I smiled back at her.

"Muffins. I assure you you'll like it. Theon baked it."

"Wow! He bakes!?"

"Yes. He cooks a lot, really. Theon used to be very close to Nanay Lucy, yong nag-alaga sa kanya since he's five. That's why he learned cooking. Try one."

I excitedly took one muffin and munched. Walang halong ano, its taste is heavenly. I can't believe he knows how to cook. Isn't he just so perfect?

"How's it? Do you like it?"magiliw na tanong niya.

"D, I can eat this all day. Ang sarap. You're one lucky wife."

"I'm the luckiest wife."she agreed.

Her face stiffened. Instead of interpreting her actions, I just keep munching muffins. Not after an hour, dumating si Theon. The moment he arrived, he kissed her right away... in front of me. He smiled when he looked at me.

"How's Amity?"

"I've made her drink a med for headache."she proudly told him.

"Good wife. Maiwan ko muna kayo. Babalikan ko lang sina Ayden sa baba."

"They're here?"

"Yes, love. We'll prepare something for our lunch. Just get on with what the two of you are doing lately."he kissed her again before he left.

"Don't look at me like that, A. I know what you're thinking! Am I blushing? Nakakahiya! Minsan talaga, naitatanong ko sa sarili ko kung talaga bang may asawa na ako."

"Ang—cute niyo nga tingnan eh! You're the picture of the perfect couple."

Bumibigat 'yong dibdib ko. Bakit ba ayaw mawala ng nararamdaman ko? Ayokong ganito ako kay Dillenna. Mahal ko ang bestfriend ko. Pero, hindi ko mapigilan... I still love him. I still love my bestfriend's husband.
