Valerie:

"Congratulations!"

Katatapos lang ng speech ko—I was declared the top Magna Cum Laude of the year. Sobrang proud ng parents ko ngayon because I had proven my worth.. Mahigpit kong niyakap si Olivia matapos kaming nagpapicture na dal'wa—finally, we graduated!

"Congratulations to us, Via! And what's next? We'll both work in the city!" I giggled but I had to stop when I caught that familiar stare from..Yliam straight to me. Hindi niya ba nakalimutan ang sinabi ko sa kaniya last week? Well, be better not because I wasn't joking!

"Yliam is staring at me, Via!" I can't help not to chuckled and waved my hand straight to his side saka para itong napahiya. See? I got him last time! My words affected him so damn much!

"Via, you want to come with me at the ball tonight? C'mon, girl—let's celebrate! Just the two of us but I can't promise you if Yliam is around.." May graduation ball mamaya at gaganapin ito sa isang white sand beach dito sa syudad ng Pah.

Excited ako dahil last party na 'to! Hindi ko rin ini-expect na pupunta si Yliam dun.. Well knowing him by afar—hindi niya type ang mga parties!

"Sige, punta tayo.. Magpapaalam lang ako kay mama, ha?" Nakangiti akong tumango. Saka hinanap ulit si Yliam pero hindi ko na siya mahagilap. Sa palagay ko sa nangyari last week? He deliberately said those lines and wished me distracted para lubayan ko siya—dahil hanggang ngayon wala naman akong napansing babae na nakadikit sa kaniya, e!

At ikinatuwa ko iyon!

Nakasuot ako ng isang long floral boho dress na hanggang hita ang slit. I let my straight hair messed up while chillin' the night with the cozy ambiance.

Nasa beach na kami ngayon ni Olivia pero nagpaalam lang itong mag-cr. I was holding a cocktail glass on my right hand while I was swaying my left up on the air—feeling the vibration of the summer music.

Ah, graduated—finally! "Congratulations, miss beauty and brain!" Napalingon ako sa nagsalita. It was Treyvor Gostavo—a political son, like me. Ba't ngayon ko lang napansin ang kakisigan ng lalakeng ito? I was drinking four glasses of cocktail already—kaya medyo tingin ko 'ata sa lahat ng lalake rito si Yliam, e! Gosh.. I'm literary crazy!

"Stop flirting on me, Treyvor. I only like to flirt with Yliam Ademar..Shoo now!" I swayed my hand and gestured him to move away. I told Olivia that tonight's would be girl's night out—no boys! Pero what if dumating si Yliam!? I might have broken my promise to my best friend!

"Really? What if I'll tell you that someone's flirting with Yliam?" Nabuga ko ang iniinom kong cocktail wine. What!? He's here!? Dared he not be kidding!

"You're kidding, aren't you!? He doesn't like to party.." Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. He smirked at me—what the hell! Saka may tiningnan ito sa may 'di kalayuan na hindi ko masyadong naaaninag at dumako naman ang tingin ko doon. All the chest drum started to beat inside me..

"Then tell me that's not Yliam Ademar and that's not Olivia Cruz—your best friend that he is now kissing."

My jaw just dropped. My heart beat just literary thrashed abnormally—Treyvor was hell right. Habang unti-unti akong naglalakad patungo sa bahaging may dal'wang taong nakatayo—standing so close and f***ing intimate to each other, naaninag ko ang simpleng damit na suot kanina ni Olivia at ang pamilyar na katawan ni Yliam..

"So, all these years? Hindi mo sinabi sa'kin na ikaw pala ang girlfriend ni Yliam? And you called me best friend in that case?" Gulat na napatingin silang dal'wa nang magsalita ako. Nasa likuran ko si Treyvor at pilit nga akong hinihila pabalik—feeling close 'tong gagong ito, ah pero sige—dahil parang kailangan ko ng isang taong hindi sinungaling!

"V-Val—magpapaliwanang ako..S-Sorry.."

Pumatak ang luha ko dahil sobrang nasasaktan ako but I wiped it off my face.

Mahirap bang aminin sa'kin na siya pala ang girlfriend ni Yliam!? Sobrang nasasaktan ako dahil alam niya kung gaano ko bukambibig si Yliam—araw-araw.. P*** i** araw-araw kong sinasabi sa kaniya kung gaano ako kabaliw kay Yliam!

And this?

F**k!

"Babe, stop explaining—you owed nothing to her." Maanghang na sabi ni Yliam—my eyes pinned on their hands holding to each other. Sobrang nagdilim ang mukha ko—sobrang pinipiga ang puso ko..

"She owed a lot from me! Alam niya na gusto kita—you f***ing know that Olivia! You f**king knew!" Saka humakbang ako palapit kay Yliam at walang gatol ko siyang hinalikan sa labi—I crushed his lips in front of Olivia at bago pa man niya ako maitulak palayo sa kaniya—I did pushed him instead!

"You're not officially mine—yes, pero alam ni Olivia na noon pa man ay akin ka na, Yliam Ademar!" He was totally startled by my act. Ibahin mo ako, Yliam! Saka ko ibinalik ang matalim kong tingin kay Olivia na mahinang umiiyak—well, for what!?

"But above all—you cheated over our friendship, Via! You were so dishonest over my honesty to you and I hate you for that.." Saka ako tumalikod at akmang hinawakan niya ang braso ko pero pumiglas ako.

I felt Trevor hands on my waist—I was f***ing dizzy at parang nakalutang sa ulap ang bawat tahak ng mga paa ko sa buhangin. Halo-halo ang naramdaman ko ngayon!

Nagpupuyos ang dibdib ko nang makarating ako sa parking lot. Nakaalalay pa rin siya sa likuran ko saka ko tinabig ang kamay niya na nasa bewang ko—sh*t!

"Can you drive?" Tanong niya saka ako tumango.

"You can leave me now." Wala akong ganang makipag-usap sa kahit na sino ngayon. I settled myself on the driver's seat and fastened my seatbelt. When I glanced where Olivia seated earlier when I fetched her—sumikip lalo ang dibdib ko..

Hindi ko na namalayan that I was sobbing really hard while covering my face both with my palms.

I was so f***ng cheated..!
