I thought Arcane is not a liar. But boy, his phone is not damaged. It was a lie. Because when I go home week ago before I broke up with him. That's the time when I know 'bout the truth.

He lied. And he's courting someone else.

And all my cousin and friends knew. But they didn't tell me.

I am betrayed by the people I trusted and cherished the most.

Kumain lang kami sa Restaurant na 'yon habang naghihintay kay Stelan. Stelan is always busy at work. Mobile games and liquor lang ang kinagigiliwan niya bukod sa mga tropa niya.

"Chi? you okay? kanina ka pa tulala."Ate Anne, asked while looking at me with worried face.

I nodded. "Of course, I will."but I failed.

"Do you still thinking about your past?"She added. Umiling ako. Pero yun ang totoo. Mabilis akong tumango sakanya. Kumunot ang noo niya roon. Ate Anne, hate a liar. I shouldn't do that shit.

"You're confused. Yet you managed to tell the truth. Thank you."She smiled at me. Saka ako niyakap.

Ate Anne is always be the best. Palagi niya kong iniintindi kahit ang hirap ko ng intindihin.

"How are you? Ngayon nalang kita ulit nakasama. Sobrang busy mo ba sa jib geonmul at ngayon ka lang lumabas ng lungga mo?"She asked while arching her brow. Napangiwi ako roon.

"Nah, It's just that money is the problem."I shrugged.

"Bakit kasi nagtitiis ka pa dyan sa jib jeonmul. Kung sana dun ka sa mas magandang kompanya nag apply. Nakapag college ka naman ah."She said while eating BBQ. Ngumuso ako at tumingin sa mga kasama naming busy sa paglalaro ng online games.

"It is for experienced only. Don't yah worry. Once the contract is over. I'm going to Japan."I said smiling. She nodded and smile a bit.

After namin kumain. Nag inom nalang kaming apat. Minsan lang kaming lumabas. We should enjoy the moment till it lasts.

"I'm sorry. I'm late."napalingon kami sa bagong dating. He look dazzling hot with his slight long--jet black hair. He's facial feature is soft. Thick lashes, thick brows, pointed nose, kissable red lips. May talin din siya sa muka. He's older among us. Ten years gap sila ni Ate Anne while me, is twelve. I call him kuya Stelan.

Stelan, Anne, Lash and the other except Nick. I adressed them "Ate" and "kuya"

to show respect and care.

"You're 3 hours late. I am tipsy."Nick said while looking at Kuya Stelan. I nodded.

Hindi naman niya na inintindi pa ang sinabi ni Nick at dumiretso na ito ng upo sa tabi ni Kuya Lash at Ate Anne. Kuya Lash and Anne is almost three years in a relationship. Sobrang tagal na nila.

Nahihilo na ako kaya pinagpasyahan ko ng magpaalam sakanila. They're too old enough. Samantalang ako, ay ang pinaka bata samin. Same with Lusio. Speaking of. Adik sa Mobile Legend ang isang 'yon. Takot magmahal pero malandi naman. Tsk. Sabagay, wala naman tayong alam sa buhay pag ibig ng iba. Saka bagong sampa lamang ako rito sa Lucid.

"ang aga mo namang umuwi. Akala ko ba malakas kang uminom?"natatawang turan ni Ate Anne. Umiling ako.

"Mahina nakong uminom ngayon. Ang tagal kong natengga sa pag iinom. Saka hindi ako makahinga ng ayos pag sagad na yung nainom ko."sambit ko saka sila tinalikuran.

"Ah? teka."sabay lingon ko sakanila.

"Ingat kayo pauwi. Keep safe."Saka ko sila muling tinalikuran at naglakad na pauwi. Maghihintay pa ko ng tricycle palabas. Damn it. Nahihilo na ako.
