"How are you, Love?"
He gently grabbed My Face and kissed My cheek.
"I'm Fine.. Eh ikaw? What are you baking?"
I asked while trembling and looking at the oven where he placed the baked cookies.
"IT's a strawberry cookie"
He simply replied. I just nodded like I am not interested.
"Bakit? Anong okasyon?" He wiped the icings on his cheek while staring at me. "Don't you remember?" His voice broke. "W-what?"
I confiously asked.

He slowly bowed down because of disappointment as he brushed his hair upward.
"I think..you should take a rest" he handed me a paper bag with a dress and heels inside it. "What's this for?" He turn off the oven and went to My door. "Binili ko yan para sa socialization party niyo mamaya" he just smiled as he left My room.

I just sat at My bed staring at the paper bag beside me. I looked over the picture on My Cabinet and placed it on My lap.
"Mommy?...Imissyousomuch" I rubbed the picture and I didn't even notice the tears that were streaming down on My cheeks. Sometimes i'll just remember How My Mom taught me to be strong. She always taught me How to fight for myself and To handle My heart well no matter what happens. I mean, she's all I have. And now she's gone.

I took My phone out on My pocket and My jaw dropped when I saw the date.
"Fuck IT's our 10th monthsary"
I whispered to myself. I runned out of My room hoping that Harley has not leave me yet.
"Love!" I shouted in excitement when i saw him sitting on the sofa. I gave him a tight hug at pinaulanan ko siya ng halik sa pisngi.
I was sitting on his lap facing him. I grabbed his Face and brushed the tip of My nose against him.

He smiled genuinely. "I'm glad you remember it" he enclosed his hands on My waist and he lift me UP while My feet are coiled on his Body.
"Happy monthsary Love!" I smiled when he put me down and grab My waist. "I'll be picking you UP tonight" he moved My hair at the back of My ear. He leaned in and tried to Kiss me.
"Uhm I think I have to change" i gasped some air and pushed him away gently. "I'm sorry" he apologized. I just smiled at him and went to My room.

Napasandal ako as soon as I closed the door. Pfft that was close. I tied My hair up at kinuha ang dress sa paper bag. It was a silver one with a plain design and the heels are not that High.
I checked the time on My phone and it was already 5;45 p.m. Mag uumpisa ang socialization party ng 6:30 p.m so I tried to call Saemie.

I dialed My phone but she's not answering
"Punyeta!" I throwed My phone on My bed when suddenly My heart aches. I was holding through My Cabinet and tried to calm.

Humarap ako sa salamin and just stared at My Body. It was not perfect at all. So many stretchmarks, dark spots. But IT's perfectly okay.

I put the dress on and showered My Body a perfume. I put on the heels and I feel a lot Taller. I chuckled when i can't see My Face on the mirror anymore.

"Love! Your friends are here!" I almost stumbled when I heard Harley shouted. I took My purse and put My phone and liptint inside it. Inayos ko na ang sarili ko at bumaba na rin ako kaagad sa kwarto ko.

Inalalayan ako ni Harley pababa. I tiptoed to Kiss his cheek and he kissed My forehead passionately. "No liquor, okay?" He warned before I get out. "Yes Love! No liquor!" I waved and went down the house.
