His Ex and Lies

Chapter 1

Come with me

"Goodevening everyone who's listening here on our most loved Radio Station 143.1 St. Augustine College Only Radio!"

I was smiling from ear to ear while I'm delivering my opening spill for tonight. As a Mass Communication 3rd year student, I was trained how to speak publicly especially for a radio program.

This is my last semester for my third year in college, and at the same time, last sem ko na rin para mag-OJT dito sa private and solely owned radio station ng school namin. St. Augustine College has its own radio station, the 143.1, it was made for the mass communication students, para mas mahasa ang aming speaking and writing skills. The radio station could be accessed everywhere sa NCR. It's considered as the number one college radio station sa Metro Manila for almost three years now.

"At muling nagbabalik ang pinakamaganda, pinakasexy, at pinakahot niyong DJ, your love DJ, DJ Ace. Yes, it is capital A C E, Ace."

I made my voice very bubbly and sexy at the same time. I am not just an ordinary intern here in the station, dito rin ako nagtatrabaho para ma maintain ang scholarship ko. The usual interns are incharge of writing schedules, or minsan nagiging DJ din pero ilang beses lang, ako kasi every night. Our professors are the DJs of the station, at dalawa lang kami ni Zack Rhyan, my bestfriend, ang regular na may air-time everynight from 7:00 until 10:00 ng gabi.

"And I'm sorry sa mga fangirls dyan ni DJ Zack, dahil wala ngayon ang Papa Zack niyo. Nagkasakit ang lolo niyo, but no worries girls, babalik naman siya agad bukas para magbigay ng kilig at makabagbag damdaming love advices sa inyo."

Zack Rhyan has a very manly and seductive voice, yung tipong boses palang maririnig mo pero mapapakuha ka na ng kanin dahil may ulam na. Pero sa totoo lang, he's more than just a seductive voice, kapag nakita mo siya sa personal, mawawalan ka talaga ng malay. He has a fans club, Zackamazing ito kung tawagin.

"And to start our program for tonight, we already have our first caller. She's on standby, at 'wag na nating patagalin pa, let's hear her story, Gia, hello?"

I muttered. Ang programa namin ni Zack is called My Dear Heart, we give advices to our callers. Dito ako nakilala, kami ni Zack to be exact. Before it was just a testing kasi nga mga estudyante lamang kami so kami ang substitutes pero unang caller palang ay pumalo sa 43% ang ratings ng programa until kami na ang pinalit.

"Hello, DJ Ace?"

Iyon pa lang ang sinasabi niya pero garalgal na ang boses niya. She must be very hurt.

"Hi Gia. So, para sa ating mga listeners, Gia is 19 years old. Magka edad lang kami. So Gia, why did you called our program? Tell us your story."

I heard a deep sigh from the other line. It took a couple of seconds bago ulit siya nagsalita.

"I fell in love with someone who couldn't get over from his ex."

Aww, kaya pala. Narinig ko siyang humikbi. At saka nagpatuloy.

"Kaibigan ko po kasi siya, a very close guy friend, at noong nagbreak sila noong ex niya, almost a year ago, ako ang nag comfort sa kanya. I never leave his side. Hanggang sa makamove on siya. Sa akala ko."

Pain crossed over the line. Ang huling tatlong salitang binitawan niya ay punong puno ng sakit.

"Hindi ko alam pero as time goes by, we do things na hindi ginagawa ng simpleng magkaibigan lang. We talked almost 24/7, lagi kaming magkasama manood ng sine at kumain sa labas. Kapag may problema ako lagi niya akong cinocomfort, ang sweet niya and many more. So akala ko po talaga DJ Ace, may nararamdaman na rin siya sa akin. Kasi to be honest po, sa tinagal tagal din naming magkasama nahulog na po talaga ako. So, kahapon po I was really confident na umamin na sa kanya regarding my feelings, kasi sa isip-isip ko baka natatakot siyang umamin dahil ayaw niya masira ang pagkakaibigan namin. But destiny played a game on us, kahapon din po mismo, nung nagkipagkita ako sa kanya, he happily said na nagkabalikan na sila ng ex niya. Last week daw siya cinontact ulit ng ex niya and she was begging na magkabalikan sila. And he said yes."
