" Ano?!"
Rinig yata hanggang labas ng condo ang sigaw ni ate Niki.
" Menggay naman."
" Hindi naman namin sinasadya."
" Parang more on hindi MO sinasadya. Meng he's married."
" Alam ko. "
" Oh anong balak mo? Kumabit? Come on, you're more than that!"
" Hindi naman ganun eh."
" Eh ano pala? Meng, may masasaktan kayong tao."
" Hindi na mauulit yon. I saw how he regret it Ate."
" You dont expect him to be happy right?"
I look at my sister with tearful eyes.
She sigh and sat infront of me and held my hands.
" I know you love him. Ni-hindi ka naman yata na brokenhearted sa ex mo eh. But you have to remember that Alden is not the same Alden you loved. He belongs to someone else now. SORRY to say this and I am your sister so I will tell you this. You had lost your chance on him when you choose to be happy with someone else."
AND that is true.

It was awkward after what happened. We barely talk to each other. He cant even look at me.
" Uy! Lapit lang dito yung McDonalds! BAKA naman Alden Richards!"
"Oo nga oh, pack-up na."
The staffs are teasing him.
And Rj being thoughtful as he is,
" Uy sure! Alam nyo naman ang daan kita kita nalang?"
Everyone agreed. I was about to tell them I cant come when Direk Mike pull me and dragged me to his car. Do I have a choice?
Rj is waiting for us when we arrived. He immediately went to Nia who is seated on the table near the counter.
" Hi, Mrs. Faulkerson!"
He greeted his wife.
" Hey."
He gave her a kiss on the head and many more on her cheeks which earned teasing from the staff of our movie in the counter.
Thank God it was an un-Godly hour of the night.
" Hi, Mrs.Faulkerson! Its nice to finally meet you!"
Says direk Mike.
" hi Direk! Order lang kayo dyan, si Rj magbabayad."
" Grabe, walang discount?"
" Syempre, wala. Yaman mo nagpapa discount ka."
" Betty, kaya pa?"
Bulong ni Kuya Michael (roadmamangerko) sakin.
I clear my throat and smiled. I walk briefly to Nia who stood up upon seeing me.
" Hi, Maine Mendoza!"
" Grabe,drop the Mendoza na please.."
" Grabe.. Maine.."
Her eyes twinkle in pure adoration for me.
'kung alam mo lang.'
Iyon na yata ang pinaka mahabang isang oras ng buhay ko.
I am just glad that everyone are too tired to stay longer.
