Yohanna's POV

Yey! Today is the start of the week-long celebration of Intramurals in our school and I am excited to be working at our booth! *Mind the sarcasm* Like who would be excited in working at a booth? Wala namang masaya dun! Bantay-bantay at manage-manage lang naman ang gagawin. Tsss... Sana hindi na ako pumayag na kami ang magbantay dito!

Yeah, nasa booth na kami ngayon. Waiting for customers to arrive. Yung ibang members ay nasa labas, naghahanap ng customer habang kami ay naiwan dito sa loob. Bored!

"Hoy gaga! Bakit ba pumunta dun si Francis sa inyu? Wag mo sabihing nanliligaw nga yun sa'yo?" Tanong sa'kin ni Faye. Kahit kailan talaga tung babaeng to! Napakachismosa!

"Wala! Magkaibigan yung parents namin and they just talk about business. No more, no less." Pagsisinungaling ko. Ayokong ishare sa babaeng to ang pagpapakasal ko kay Francis dahil sure akong madudulas talaga ang bibig ng babaeng to.

"Ahhh... Siya nga pala, may nagpapabigay sa'yo ng letter na'to." Sabi niya sabay abot sa isang nakatuping papel. Ehh? Kanino naman to galing?

"From who?"

"Secret! Ayaw niya ipasabi dahil suprise daw muna." I just rolled my eyes on their idea. Really? Susupresahin ako eh paano kung prank to?

But its never too late to try right? I opened the paper and so shocked when I see what's on the paper.

Yohanna,

         Meet me at the back of our school building. I'll be waiting for you.

                                    From someone owed a lot from you

So... Sino naman kaya ang nagkautang sa'kin? The last time I check, no one owed something from me? Kailangan ko yatang puntahan ang mystery guy na to para iexplain sa'kin tong letter.

"Hey Faye! Mag—"

"Oo na! Go na! Wag mong paghintayin yung prince charming mo dun! Don't worry, ako na bahala dito." She said and wink. I just smiled at her and went off. I hope it is not one of their pranks.

Pagkarating ko sa likod ng school building, gaya nung sinabi ni mystery guy, wala namang tao. It is so peaceful and soothing. This place is a good place where you could relax from your hard day.

"You came." Nagulat ako nung bigla siyang nagsalita sa likod ko. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, siya to. Ang taong nagalit sa kin.

"J-Jexter?" Sabi ko sabay talikod. I'm right. Si Jex ang tumawag sa'kin pero siya pala ang mystery guy ko?

"I brought you here because.." Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at tumingin sa mga mata ko, sincerely.

"I just want to apologize about what I did to you and Francis. I didn't mean to shout on you or to punch Francis' face. I am so sorry about that Yohanna." Pagsusumamo niya. He sounded so sincere for me.

"You don't have to! In fact, ako dapat ang magsorry sa'yo eh. I didn't mean to bring up the subject about mothers and stuff." Sabi ko sa kanya. Bahagya siyang napayuko at umangat ulit para tignan ako.

"Gusto mo bang malaman kung bakit ayaw na ayaw kong mabanggit ang salitang mama?"

"Oh no. You don't have to—"
