"My gosh! Ang sarap nito!" I closed my eyes as I took one bite of the caramel cake of Kia.

Parang nawala lahat ng buwisit ko kanina dahil dito. The taste of it was so delectable— it was spreading into my system and it was soothing my rage inside. I also didn't mind my shoes there— thrown elsewhere. Kasi naman, the cake was so different compared to those cakes that I have tasted. Its sweetness was balanced, not too much, not too less.

When I opened my eyes, it unintentionally darted to where Lilia was. While I was busy stuffing this delicious cake inside my mouth, she was busy with her phone! Wait, kanina ko pa 'to napapansin, a? And were she and her boyfriend, Peter backed together? But that guy cheated on her! Or maybe she has another boy? I bet it wasn't Peter again, I'd be the antagonist of their love story if that'd happen.

Instead of focusing my whole attention to my friend, I chose to rummage my eyes to the entire bakery. The design of it was home-like, there was a wooded swing draped and nestled at the threshold outside. The painted wood-like foundation were so perfect to the periphery. The fonts of the menu was so modern, and all the tables and chairs were made of woods, the walls were made of glass— therefore I could make a sight toward the sublime vicinity of the river. It was such an overwhelming scenery— I was so happy to see my friends holding already their dreams.

I flitted back my eyes to my cake— that was actually almost gone. I still want to have some more cakes but I think it wasn't already good to my body. I don't want to get round— gross. I clutched on my frappe and hold the seep. I belched when I saw Lilia smirk, what's the problem of this? I couldn't stop myself but to admonish her way of smile— it was making my head reel.

"Oh, Lilia, how's with you and Peter?" I asked out of no where.

She recoiled because of my call— making her almost dropped her phone on the ground. Her eyes wavered, like she was hiding something forbidden. My forehead creased when I found myself scrutinizing my friends movements. After while, she backed to herself and smiled wearily.

"P-pardon?" she quavered.

"Nothing," I shrugged, maybe they were already backed to each other? I hope that bastard won't hurt my best friend ever again.

I tried so hard to show a smile that I could muster. I tried to repel the thoughts twirling atop my head. But I was just being so worried about her lifestyle. The last time I checked, she was so devastated when that guy had been caught cheating with the bitch on our school. Well, Lilia just caught them having a sex in his condo unit. I know how difficult it was in the side of my friend. She almost gave up everything just for Peter.

Marami pang pinatikim si Kia sa amin, and all of it was so delicious! Hindi maipagkakaila na magaling talaga ang aking kaibigan. Matapos ng buong araw naming pagsasama ay umuwi muna ako para makapaghanda mamaya pagpunta namin sa bar. I didn't open my phone because of Zach. Awhile, my phone kept on beeping as if there were something very important that he can give to me. When I finally reached my condo unit, I almost jumped out of it when I saw Zach— looking straight to my eyes, like a vulture to the lifeless prey or a lion ready to pounce its prey. I tried so hard to have the valor that I could muster. No one could give me a reason to bend, not you, Zachary.

I peered at his back— making sure that he did not bring his girlfriend in my refuge, or else I would be forced to cut all our connections. I hadn't had the boldness to sight his eyes, it was so dark, so menacing, I don't know if I could stand here straight just looking into his eyes. But then, the shallow anger inside me lit up, like a fire ignited by the new desire of rage. I sauntered, my heartbeats skyrocketed like mad. Don't look into his eyes, I thought, this is your property, I am the Queen right now.
