I prepared before meeting Prey. I will tell him all the things that his fiancé told me that day. I drove my way towards starbucks and I saw him already there.
"Claudette.." I turn my gaze to him and returned it to the menu.
"1 Grande Caramel Macchiato, for here." I said to the girl in the cashier.
"Name po?" She asked.
"Claudette."
"Okay thats for *price* po." I immediately get my change and search for a good place to sit.
"Hey. Don't treat me like this." I looked at him and was about to say something when the order came.
"One Iced Caramel Macchiato and Caffe Latte for honey and boo?" I looked at him shocked and decided to just sit there at the couch.
"Get that. For God's sake, Prey! Mga kagaguhan mo naman." I said and rolled my eyes on him. Pero, I suddenly thought of a plan for revenge kay Gracie.
I can still remember what she did to me para lang malayo ako kay Prey. I never told that to anyone.
I took a picture of the coffees and posted it on instagram.

I felt satisfied after posting that. Soon, Gracie will see that.
"What was that for?" He asked.
"Explain." I laid back to the couch and sip my coffee while preparing to listen to him.
"I didn't cheat. I never did, baby. I never agreed to that engagement. Si Gracie lang may gusto non, and God, Claudette. I love you so much, why would I do that to you?"
I love you so much too.
"That day when she came, it was all planned. She followed my car from school to the resto." He continued.
"After you walk away I asked her what she did to you, that she told you na nagproprose ako sakanya bago pa kita makilala. That never happened. Our parents wants us to be together kaya she thought I like her even though I don't, and she's going lengths just to make the both of us work."
Shit.
This was the moment I knew.. I fucked up.
"All of that was her lie to make me stay away?" I finally talked.
"Yeah, I guess. Sadly, it worked. I really thought you would talk to me but your doors are already closed. That's why I decided to agree on the wedding."
I felt like everything is shattering to pieces when I heard him saying that.
"You what?" I nervously asked while the tears are forming in my eyes. I should've expected this kasi nakita ko din yung prenup nila. But hearing this from him, hurts a million times.
"We didn't even have a closure." I whispered.
"I love you so much, Claudette. But, it's just too late. You're too late, baby. I thought that loving her won't cost any."
"Yeah, you will just lose me."
"But, didn't I lose you from the very moment you shut me down?"
"I've always loved you, Prey. I never get tired of loving you even though you are marrying someone else. I just didn't talk to you, but that doesn't mean that I hate you. Yes I did, but eventually I understand it. I was afraid of the answer that I might get. I was afraid that if I see you, I won't leave this country and just stay here with you. But, I realized that it was wrong dahil ikakasal ka na, Prey." I stopped and wiped my tears.
"Congratulations, and best wishes." I said and left him there in the couch. I cried myself out till I ran out of tears.
It's just sad that, everything that are once perfect, can be destroyed by a single mistake. You can never bring it back from the way it was back then.
