(Herminio Jose's Point of View)

"Hi, Ogs!"

Yes. I was pulled by none other than Zsazsa Padilla.

"Nasaan tayo?" I asked her. Trying not to get nervous. Hindi ko na alam kung san niya ako pinaghihila dahil medyo natamaan na ako sa ininom kong champagne kanina.

"Don't be nervous. Nasa park lang tayo." She said and lit a cigarette. Wow. Hindi na talaga siya ang Zsasing na kilala ko noon.

"When did you start smoking?"

"Canada. Often lang naman. When I'm stressed out I smoke. Influence. Did I answer all your possible questions?" Then she laughed.

Kinapa ko ang bulsa ko, trying to get my phone. I have to call or text Regine, naiwan ko siya dun. Siguradong mag-aalala yun kung nasan ako. Sadly, I didn't touch anything except my wallet. And then it hit me. Fuck, naiwan ko pala sa sasakyan.

"Zsa, do you have your phone with you?" Papahiramin naman siguro ako nito.

"Nope. Why? You'll call Regine?" She asked. Mga babae talaga, they think ahead at tumutumpak talaga sila.

"Oo, sana. You pulled me out at the party without her knowing, baka mag-alala yun sakin." I said.

"How sweet Herminio Jose. Inggit ako ha. Dati di ka naman ganyan sa'kin." What the hell is she saying? "Uy, no hard feelings lover boy." Then he smiled wickedly.

I cleared my throat. "First, you surprised me. I thought sa Sunday pa ang punta mo rito."

"Well, madaling natapos yung inaasikaso ko sa Canada. Might as well umuwi ng maaga." She breathed out with the smoke of her cigarette. "Do you know Sarah Geronimo?"

"Hmm, no."

"That Pascual's girlfriend?" My world stopped hearing his surname.

"Bakit?"

"Well, apparently, Sarah is one of my colleagues dati sa Canada. So we're the best of friends though I'm older than her. He can't attend to the party together with Pascual because for some unknown reasons so she gave me the invitation. Ako nalang daw pumunta." She smiled. "I also wanted to see you, at pupunta ka rin pala sa event na yun. That's fate right?" No, it wasn't.

"Ba't mo sinasabi sakin lahat ng to? Why did you pull me out of that party?" I mean, i'm not interested. Ayos na na makita ko siyang okay. And second, she just quietly pulled me from behind without Regine knowing. Baka kung ano na ang iniisip niya.

"Alam mo naman kung bakit." She simply replied. "Expert ka pagdating dito diba?"

I chose to turn a blind eye. "Ano nga?"

"Tsk. Simple. I want you back." Sabi ko na nga ba e. Too bold and fierce Zsazsa.

"Well I don't." I simply said. I don't care if it hurts her ego.

"You will." She said with confidence.

"I won't." She tsk-ed.

"You have great taste Ogs. Worth it naman yung pinalit mo sakin." She threw away her cigarette. "Palaban rin. Nahurt ako sa sinabi niya kanina, huhu. Mautak at matinik rin siya, she'll be a nice rival." The way she talks at Regine, para bang kaya niyang ipatumba kaagad ito. Damn. She shouldn't lay any single finger on her kung hindi malilintikan siya sa'kin.
