When we were 18

EPILOGUE

As soon as our professor dismissed our class I immediately grab my bag to meet my boyfriend outside our room. Patricia, one of my best friends, is calling my name but I ignored her.

"Ash! Ash! Ashanti! Wai--"

I'm excited to see him because he's busy with his school projects that's why we didn't see each other for weeks, but when I get out of the door there's no Benedict waiting for me. I disappointedly look to Patricia.

"Gurl, ilang linggo na ba simula nung hindi ka niya pinupuntahan dito? Ha?"

"Two weeks." nakasimangot kong sagot.

"Oh, alam mo naman pala eh, bakit ba parang hindi ka sanay? Saka pwede ba? Your boyfriend is John Benedict Asuncion the ultimate Playboy, so what do you expect? That he really changed and stop being 'The Ultimate Playboy'? C'mon Ashanti he will not."

"Oo nga two weeks na hindi niya ko pinupuntahan o sinusundo pero kasi nga busy siya sa school projects niya saka may exam sila, saka pwede din ba? Alam kong nag bago na si Ben kaya wag kang nega."

"May exam naman pala sila eh, bakit mo pa hinahanap?"

"Ngayon kasi yung last day ng exam nila kaya akala ko makikita ko na siya ngayon."

"Psh, may babae na yon."

"Bitter ka lang, wala ka kasing boyfriend." Pang-aasar ko.

"Che! Ewan ko sayo, mauna na ko sayo pupunta pa ko kay sir Santos." Nakasimangot na sabi ni Pat.

"Haha, lagot ka cellphone pa more. Ingat hahahaha!" Pang-aasar ko.

"Ingat." Pat said sarcastically.

We don't have our dance practice today so I decided to just go home and since Ben is not here to drive me back home, I called our driver to pick me up.

"Hello, Mang Nestor?"

"Yes, Ma'am?

"Ah, kuya pwede mo ba kong sunduin? Wala kasi si Benedict eh. Thank you."

"Ah, sige ma'am Ash." After that I ended the call.

I'm waiting for Mang Nestor here in parking lot and I notice someone familiar as I walk towards them, I'm slowly realising who are those, they were my boyfriend and best friend, kissing. :'(
