Prologue

I can't understand.

I still can't understand why some people commit themselves in a relationship, proclaiming their love for their partner when they will just cheat along the way.

Why do they have to cheat in the first place?

If they already fell out of love with their partner, they can just end the relationship first, especially for boyfriend-girlfriend relationships. But if they're married, at least, talk to their wife or husband. Try to fix whatever the problem is or try to give them a heads up.

I wondered if there was some kind of pleasure that they can feel once they cheated and hurt the person they promised to love.

Do they ever feel guilty cheating behind their partner?

It seemed to me that they don't.

Do they ever try to consider the feelings of the other?

Well, I also think, they fucking don't.

"Keia, calm down..." Sharry tried to calm me down.

I tightened the grip on my phone as I kept on watching one of my friends' IG story.

I knew it wasn't intentional, but I was able to spot my asshole boyfriend who'd be my ex-boyfriend but still an asshole in a moment. I was murdering him inside my mind while watching his lips devoured someone else's lips. I already made my decision to make his fucking lips bleed using my fist.

Only half an hour had passed since he texted me his good night message, telling me that he was already lying on his bed and ready to sleep. I was too in love with him to believe that he would really go to sleep when he was screwing someone else in a bar.

It was a good thing that I checked my Instagram account. If not, I would not know that he was already cheating on me tonight.

I wondered how many times did he do it behind my back? Was this the first time he cheated on me with another girl, or was he already used to it?

No... I would not let this night pass without talking to him and giving him something that he deserved.

"Keia, saan ka pupunta?" Agad na nataranta si Sharry dahil sa bigla kong pagbangon.

I'm sorry, best friend, but we can't have a peaceful sleepover tonight. I need to hunt an asshole down.

"Don't tell me that you're going to that club?" she suspected.

Closing my cabinet after getting an all-black outfit, I turned to face her and grinned.

"Good guess, Sha," I told her and winked.

"Keia, ipagpabukas mo na 'yan. It's already late!" sabi niya sa akin.

Kinalma ko ang aking sarili bago sumagot sa kanya. "Hindi ko na kayang palagpasin pa ang gabi at matulog nang mahimbing habang pinagmumukha niya akong tanga sa iba naming mga kaibigan."

Pumasok ako sa banyo at agad na nagbihis. I wore a smoky make-up that suited my outfit. I made sure that I looked like a devil, ready to kill a demon.

I swear to God that he's going to regret cheating on me tonight. Sisiguraduhin kong mapapahiya siya at pagsisisihan niyang ginago niya ako.

Pagkalabas ko ng banyo ay napangiti ako nang makitang handa na rin si Sharry. Nakapagpalit na rin siya ng damit upang samahan ako ngayong gabi. Even if I was unlucky when it comes to lovelife, I'm very lucky when it comes to my best friend who wouldn't let me down. She's always there to support me and stay by my side even if I'm bound to make the stupidest thing ever.
