I can't stop cursing in my head. Shit! Really shit! Why of all time and place dito pa kami ulit nagkita ni Pain? To think na nag-aapply ako to be her assistant at mukha nga siyang devil. Gorgeous devil, just what the first applicant said. I was taken back when she finally spoke.


"So... Why don't you take a seat?" ngumiti siya at ang creepy ng smile niya ah


 Lintek! Napatango nalang ako sa kanya at umupo na


"How are you?" tanong niya sa akin


"Uhm... i-is this a part of the i-interview, Ma'am?" I tried my best to be casual with her


I'm stuttering!


"What's with the formality? *smile* I'm just being friendly here... NAGING MAGKAIBIGAN naman tayo diba?" with a sarcastic tone


'Ano ba gusto nito?' *sigh*


"I'm good. Y-you look great Pain and you l-look great."


"Thanks for the compliment. You too, Hell. You look good."


Silence......


Siya na ang bumasag ng katahimikan sa aming dalawa.


"Bakit pala dito ka nag-apply as an accounting assistant? Eh diba engineering course mo noon?"


"Hindi kasi ako nakapasa sa board exam. Well, this is just for the meantime while waiting for the next batch of BE." 


Napayuko nalang ako kasi parang nakakahiya na hindi ako nakapasa sa board exam para maging licensed engineer. *sigh*


"Oh? What's with the heavy sigh? Don't worry. You're already hired."


"Really? Thank you so much!" nakangiti kong sabi sa kanya


"No worries... *nagsmile siya at nagsalita ulit* My friends will have a celebration later at JSA. Do you think you can c-come?" sabay iwas tingin sa akin


"Sorry Pain pero kasi susunduin ko si Maia sa school mamaya eh." tumingin ako sa kanya at parang natigilan siya at biglang nagbago yung aura niya


"Alright Mr. Castillo. Just ask my secretary about the requirements you need to submit and you will start on Monday. You may leave now." walang emosyon niyang sabi at tumalikod na sa akin habang nakaupo sa kanyang swivel chair


"Thank you, Ma'am." lumabas na ako ng office niya


Lumapit ako sa secretary niya at tinanong ang mga requirements na kailangan kong i-submit. Nagulat pa nga siya nung sinabi kong tanggap ako pero binigay niya rin naman sa akin yung list ng requirements. ANDAMI LANG AH!


Masyado akong nabigla sa pagkikita namin ni Pain kanina na nakalimutan ko magpakilala.


I'm Ethan Heldric Castillo but everyone calls me "Hell". I graduated from PC University like Pain but with a different degree. I studied civil engineering and unlike her I didn't pass the BE. She's the top notched of their batch. I know A LOT  about Pain because we used to be together. I didn't really love her. It was just all about a bet...


(COLLEGE DAYS)


"Pare do you know Alesana Pain? She is from the Accountancy Department." -Daniel


"Oh! What about her?"


"Pare, let's have a bet. Ligawan mo siya at sure sasagutin ka niya kasi crush ka nun eh."


"Talaga? Ano naman benefits ko jan?" 


"Nice one! Mukhang payag ka na. Hmm. Three thousand every month na magce-celebrate kayo ng monthsary. Ano deal?"


"Deal..."


I know it was so stupid of me to agree with my best friend; to play someone's feelings just because of money. But, the bet is already on.


At yun nga niligawan ko si Pain for a month. Sinagot niya ako sa last day ng 2nd semester namin. I think that was March 26, 20**...


Nakita at ramdam na ramdam kong mahal na mahal ako ni Pain. Ako ata ang bumali sa pananaw niyang. Books Before Boys Because Boys Brings Babies. In short first boyfriend niya ako pero siya, just one of my fling girls na tumagal for a year.


I'm sorry Pain for hurting you. I know sorry is not enough to take away all the bad things I've done to you. But still...


I'm sorry...


PAIN's POV


Kinapalan ko na nga mukha ko para ayain siya tapos tinanggihan niya lang ako. After he turned down my invitation, I felt sadness, jealousy and hatred then suddenly, flashback came...


"Hanep tol! Biruin mong napagtyagaan mo si Pain? YOU'RE THE MAN!"  sabi nung tropa niya habang tumatawa


"Syempre naman tol! Ako pa ba? Sabi sa inyo easy lang sa akin yun eh."


"WOW! Ang pogi mo talaga tol! HAHAHA! Oh ano ng plano mo kay Pain ngayon na mag-aaniversary na kayo?"


"Hihiwalayan ko na siya sa mismong anniversary namin para sagutin na ako ni Maia. Tatlong buwan ko na rin nililigawan yun e."


I snapped back and realized what happened in the past. How he made fun of me. How he disrespected me.


That's not going to happen... AGAIN!


"Alright Mr. Castillo. Just ask my secretary about the requirements you need to submit and you'll start on Monday. You may now leave."  I turned my back from him
