The Dispute: Who's the Third Party?

This is it! I smiled. I've been waiting for this day to come, and now, I can't believe that it has finally arrived. I can't believe that it will happen in a few minutes. Oh, God. I really miss that guy.

"Karl Jonathan Dominguez, where are you? Don't be late." I texted.

It's a Sunday morning. Habang naghihintay sa sagot ni KJ ay natuon ang pansin ko sa malaking bagay na nasa harapan ko. Nakangiti kong tinitingnan ang teddy bear na nakapatong sa higaan ko. Color light blue ang teddy bear at nasa apat na talampakan ang sukat nito. May malaking ribbon din ito na matingkad ang pagka-asul at nakasabit sa leeg nito. May graduation cap na suot ang teddy bear at may hawak itong papel na nakarolyo na tila diploma. KJ gave this teddy bear to me as his graduation gift, and the day after my graduation, he became my fiancé. Kinikilig ako tuwing naiisip ko na engaged na ako sa poging lalaking iyon. Parang kailan lang ay magkalaro pa kami noong mga bata kami, magkaaway, magkapitbahay, magkakaklase, magkaibigan, hanggang sa maging couple na kami. At ngayon nga, we're engaged. Can you believe that?

"I am damn engaged!" I shouted in glee.

Kahit three years pa ang kailangan naming hintayin ay walang problema. Marami pa rin naman kaming ibang pangarap sa buhay maliban ang makasama ang isa't-isa habang buhay. We also have our own dreams. I want to become a famous writer or become a Corporate Communications Manager. KJ wants to become a doctor. Hindi naman kasi lahat ng bagay ay minamadali. Dapat pinagpaplanuhan din ito para naman magiging maganda ang future namin pati ang mga magiging anak namin. I blushed at the thought. I can already imagine having small Karly boys running around the house and playing.

"Astrid, Karl's here," my mom called from downstairs, snapping me back to reality. Parang kailan lang ay tinatawag ako ni Mama para magmadali dahil baka mahuli na naman ako sa school. Time flies really quickly.

I jumped off the bed. I managed to have a quick glance at myself on the mirror. This time, I made sure to wear a white sleeveless dress with a jean jacket. Plain lang ang white dress ko at umabot hanggang kalahati ng hita ko. Naka-white tennis shoes lang ako. I mentally patted myself at the back. Good job, OA.

Dali-dali akong bumaba patungo sa hagdan at nang makarating ako sa sala ay halos maabot ng panga ko ang sahig.

"W-wha...Huh?" I was taken aback with the people I saw waiting for me.

Madilim ang mukha ni KJ habang malaki naman ang ngisi ng lalaking katabi nito. Why is he here?

"Zach?" I still couldn't recover from the shock.

Zach smirked. "Hey!"

"Why are you here?" Takang-takang tanong ko.

"Bored." Nagkibit-balikat ito. Gaya ni KJ ay parehas silang naka-blue tennis shoes. Naka-gray shirt si KJ habang naka-black shirt naman si Zach. They were both wearing faded pants. Kumikinang din sa mga tainga nila ang maliit na hikaw. Kung titingnan mo sila ngayon ay aakalain mong magkapatid sila. They looked ravishing despite the casual attire.
