Anica's Love

Prologue

The ugly smell of cigarette.

The lights that kept on flickering.

Everyone dancing in the dance floor.

Others flirting in the dark. Who knows if what's happening there?

What am I doing here anyways?

Ah. I am broken.

That bastard broke me thrice in a row.

Thrice? Is it even three times? Or more than that?

I drank directly from the bottle instead of pouring the liquor in my shot glass.

Pang ilan ko na ba to?

Pang lima?

Pang anim?

I don't know.

I don't care.

I am damn broken.

My heart was shattered.

He just broke me.

I did everything to keep him.

I did everything to make him happy.

And I guess? He didn't appreciated it.
Or worse? He didn't felt that I did it?

Anica Grace! You are so damn pathetic! Pathetic! Pathetic!

"Anica? Come on! Let's go home. You're so lasing na and if you puke on my floor, you are so done!"

She just said "on my floor?"

"Hey, her bill's on me. Don't make her pay now. Or I'll make your salary decrease! Intiendes?"

Ah?

Kitty.

My friend.

The owner of this bar.

The multimillionaire from Barcelona Spain.

"Come on. Come on. We're going now. Look at you, a total mess. F*cker's enjoying his life outside and look at you! Pathet-"

"Shaddap! I know I am!..."
I stood up

Breathing in and out.
Then tried to walk straight but to no avail.

"Anica. Tama na"

Her accent sounded slang. Of course. Last month lang siya umuwi eh. Galing siya ng America kahit pa taga Spain siya.

She's learning Tagalog.

She's a witty person. She even enrolled in the prestigious school, Oxford for college.
But since she's still young, she'll be staying here until the results are out.

Kaka 18 niya lang. Pretty young right?

"I'll have Aaron fetch you okay?"

Aaron? Ah?. Aaron.

Tropa namin.

"Stop it would you? "

She always ship me with Aaron. Kitty. Damn you.

"Stop and move on Anica! Hello? The first time he broke you was two years ago! He liked your schoolmate! Lucky he didn't lost you there yet! He is your damn world and you??! You were just his toy that will still stay even if he leaves you! You were just his star! Wake up Anica! Wake up!"

If it's just easy to wake up to reality? I would do that. I will definitely will.
