'Pinapalaya na kita Rainier...' 'Thanks for the memories'
Isang lagok ng tequila habang nangangasim ang mukha.

"Ahh..Woooh!" She blinked for a couple of times at tiningnan ulit ang laman ng shot glass.

Alexine told her self with finality as she tried to move on from a heart break 3 months ago.
There's a three (3) month rule sabi nila. Baka nakuha nila sa pelikula. Pero hindi magiging madali ang lahat for Alexine. At mukhang kukulangin ang 3 months para makamove-on. Mahal na mahal niya si Raininer. It was a natural feeling. Hindi mawawala yun basta-basta.

Hindi siya mahilig uminom ng alak. Pero parang biglang naghanap ng alak ang kaniyang katawan at isipan just to numb the sadness in her.

Dahil sumabay pa itong bestfriend niya, nagconfess ang "childhood" bestfriend niya na si Jun sa kaniya na may feelings ito for her. Litong-lito na siya at gusto niya na din pumunta sa malayo para pagpahingahin ang puso niya at makalimot sa lahat....

"Pano nga ba ang makalimot?"

Tanong ni Alexine sa bartender. Hindi niya din alam kung papano magsisimula. Sa batang edad parang pasan-pasan niya na ang mundo. Hindi niya naranasan ang maging debutante dahil sa kahirapan.
If ever she would experience it, sana ay maisayaw siya ni Rainier. Para siyang shunga, day dreaming para sa wala, smiling all by herself sa isang bar, wishing it was only a bad dream and the love of her life would rescue her that night.

"Diba kapag 3 months, eh wala na yung pain? Dapat naka-get over na ako!"
"Bakit ganito, kuya bartender?? Bakit nandito pa rin ang sakit?? Nandito pa rin siya sa puso ko???"

"18 years old ka na ba, miss?" The bartender examined her with judgement.

"Here's my ID. I'm almost 19." She smirked at the bartender and reassured him na pepwede na siyang uminom ng alak.

Tinext niya ang kaniyang kaibigan na si Camille para samahan siya pero hindi ito available. Naisip niya si Jun pero nahihiya siya dito dahil nabasted niya. She did not accept his feelings for her. Wala na talaga siyang masasandalan sa panahong ito kundi si...Marco, who suddenly appeared at the same bar that night at past 10PM.

Looking back, Rainier and Alexine had only known each other back when they were still in high school. They happened to collide when the class of Alexine from Wintermelon High-school had a fieldtrip to a nature park in Serendipity City, isang developed city at nasa 300 kilometers ang layo nito sa Cadberry province.
