No wonder I am alone. I  am destined to be one. This is what my life should be. I must not complain. This happened because I let it happen. I can't blame anyone only myself.

Alam ko mahina ako sa maraming bagay. Pero kung may kalakasan man ako, yun yung kaya kong mag isa.

I mean kinakaya ko kahit walang iba.

I checked my e-mails and the offer is still there. It's been month since they were contacting me to seal a deal with them.

"My story is not for sale" I shortly replied.

These are treasures money can't buy.

I saw the invitation of the grand reunion.

"What do you think ma?" I stared on the invitation again.

"Maybe it's time to where your dress." 

Lianne's POV

I calmed myself and heard the celebration of the crowd. It's time to have fun it's the last night. I don't want to break whatever mood they are now. I need some time alone to take a break from what I saw earlier. 

Now that I feel eased, I went back straight to our quarters. I can't be at the party. I'll be a joke. Baka masira ko lang yung masayang gabi ng mga tao na andoon. 

Pagkapalit ko ng damit naglakad lakad ako. Nagflaflash parin sa isip ko yung mga nangyari kanina. Akala ko okay na ako. Hindi pa pala. 

Nagulat nalang ako ng may tumulong luha sa jacket ko. Grabe, I'm too weak for this. I just want to go home and forget everything. Para maka move on na ako at matapos na ang kahibangan ko totally kay Aron. 

"Hi." Kahit nakatalikod ako alam ko kung sino ka. 

I braced myself and inhaled all my strength left "Hi Aron!" I smiled. 

"I saw you, I'm sorry I gave you a wrong idea. I did not know that you liked me and I am sorry that I am being insensitive this whole time. Dapat naging aware ako that I lead you too far. I'm sorry I gave you---" 

"Please don't apologize because I like you. I'm sorry if you felt like you have to. You don't have to  feel bad about it." 

Because the pain would just get worst when your sorry that I like you. You did not do anything that I would hate. It's my fault, I let myself fall for you. You don't have to be guilty of my pain. Your life is your choice and I am just a part of the picture that no one has to know. 

These words were inside my head but I never had the chance to say. Instead I hold on to the last string of my strength before it gets thinner and sooner break. 

"Congrats" I smiled and paused for a moment. 

I have to let this out.

I breathe holding back my tears with a mask happiness 

"Bagay kayo" I smiled again. 

He was silent and sat down. My lips can't utter words and my sadness can't be shown. 

From a far I saw Veronica and Tonet rushing towards me. I have to go, but my knee is trembling. I don't want them to see that I am weak so I smiled even tough they know I don't. 

"You have to go home." Veronica told me. 

"Why?" I asked them

"Umuwi daw si mama mo." Tonet said in a very different tone. 

I sense something wrong. 

" Is she okay? " This time my heart is racing in fear. 

Veronica and Tonet didn't answered.
