"Do you still have feelings for Kelly?" Tanong ni Iya. 

"Things between Kelly and me are over," Sabi ko na sadyang ikinagulat ng lahat.

I heaved a sigh and looked straight at Iya. I looked at her as if we're the only ones in here. I stared at her, letting her know how deeply and how crazy I am in love with her.

"Actually, I am in love with someone," I said with utmost courage.


I need to stop denying my feelings. I need to be honest with myself and I need to tell Iya how I really feel.

"Nag-break kayo ni Kelly?" Leo asked, obviously surprised.

"Apparently, it wasn't a breakup dahil hindi naman naging sila," Cheska said.

"So you are in love with someone else?" Elisse asked. 

"Nag-break ba kayo dahil may nagugustuhan ka ng iba? Was it because of a third party?" Tanong naman ni Ivan.

"Sino 'yun? Sino 'yung nagugustuhan mo?" Cheska asked while everyone is looking at me, waiting for my answer.

"Ang daming tanong ah. Hindi naman kasama sa rules ng game ang follow up questions," Sabi ko at bakas naman sa mukha nila ang dismaya. 

"Ang daya!" Elisse complained.


Everyone is complaining and insisting me to tell who the girl is aside from Chad, Matthew, and Charry who knows the reality of my feelings for Iya.


"Okay, next na," I said as I spin the bottle.

Even though they're dying to know who the girl is, we continued the game regardless.

"Who do you think is the prettiest girl in here?" Tanong ko kay Matthew dahil sa kanya huminto ang bote.

"That's obvious," Sabi ni Matthew kaya napatingin kaming lahat sa kanya.

"I want to say it's Iya because she's my type," Sabi ni Matthew kaya naman bigla akong nabadtrip. Parang biglang gusto ko siya hamunin ng patayan.

"But the competition is just too intense, ayoko ng sumali," Matthew said while looking at me then at Chad.

"For me, it's Iya but Elisse just draws my attention a lot," Matthew said, making everyone shout and tease them since Elisse and Matthew are both single.

"I like younger guys anyway Matthew," Elisse said and Matthew smiled in return.

"How about a coffee after this trip?" Tanong niya at tumango naman ang kapatid ko. 

"Be careful with her Matthew. She's kinda crazy," Sabi ko kaya naman natawa sila.

"She's not kinda crazy," Sabi ni Iya.

"She is very crazy. A fucking insane 26-year-old," Iya said that made everyone laughed.

"Naddy naman eh!" 

"Just spin the bottle and don't listen to her," Elisse told Matthew.

"Okay, I'll spin it," Matthew said before spinning the bottle at sakto namang huminto ito sa best friend niya na si Chad. 

"What's the status between you and Iya?" Cheska asked excitedly.

"Kami ni Iya?" Chad asked while looking at my Iya Nadine.
