Chapter 9

[Typos and grammatical errors ahead.]

"MALAPIT na ako," ani ni Feliza sa kanyang kaibigan na si Tasha sa tawag. It was 3rd day of January when she and Tasha decided to have a girly date.

Tasha was her close friend at work. Plano sana nitong magbakasyon para sa kasal niya kaso hindi natuloy kaya noong 30th ito dumating sa Pilipinas.

Wearing her demin skirt, peached-colored off-shoulder crop top, and strapped wedge sandal, Feliza got down on her Mom's BMW after she parked it on the parking area. Kinuha niya ang kanyang Iphone at Dior purse sa passenger seat.

Pumasok siya sa coffee shop kung saan sila magtatagpo ng kaibigan. Isang hakbang papasok ay agaran niyang naramdaman ang tingin ng mga tao. She ignored their stares and roamed her eyes around the full packed shop.

"Feli!," someone shouted from the side. Nakita niya agad si Tasha na kumakaway sa kanya, may malaking ngiti sa labi.

Nagtungo siya agad sa mesa ng kaibigan, nag-iisa ito na wala pang in-order at tanging cellphone lang ang hawak. Nagbeso silang dalawa habang bumabati sa isa't-isa. Her friend was staying in a five star hotel in the city.

"I really wanted to talk to you since the feeds of my twitter popped a news. Moreover, a business tabloid has this headline," magiliw nitong saad, halos patili na sabay kuha ng isang newspaper mula sa bag nito.

Nilapag iyon pagkatapos.

She frowned with curiosity while sitting down. Binasa niya ang headline. It said that one of the richest hoteliers' heir got a fiancée. Kalakip ng impormasyon na iyon ay ang litrato nila ni Laurus sa gitna ng dance floor, saka iyong litrato na kasama nila ang Lola nito.

"Oh my God, Feli. Please, explain that to me. You've got a hot fùcking fiancé. I researched Laurus' Trevino's infos as said in that article, and Feli, he is a prominent engineer locally and internationally."

Nakanganga siya sa nabasang balita dagdagan pa nitong si Tasha. She did not know why people had fed the media that she was the fiancée. Bilang nobya lang ng lalaki ang pagkakakilanlan sa kanya.

Yes, he was really a well-known engineer. Dalawang araw na nga silang nasa tawag lang nag-uusap ng binata dahil nasa trabaho ito sa Maynila.

A shameful thought flashed in her brain, she missed him inside her. She longed for the pleasure that only him can build.

"Laurus is a..." She can't even utter the word. Naibalik siya sa mundo. She thought that it wasn't allowed to.

Wala na naman siyang pakialam sa nangyari sa kasal niya, ngunit tama bang isipin na tumitibok ang puso niya kahit galing siya sa pagkawasak.

"I know, Feli. You can say it. It is not wrong to move on from heartache. I am thankful that you recovered fast from that jerk. He doesn't deserve you, and I am telling you these always but you did not even believe me."

"Is it wrong to feel love from this situation? My heart leaps his name, it feels right but my brain contradicts it saying that this is wrong, just because of the idea that I had a broken engagment."

Parang pinaparating niya kay Laurus na rebound lamang ito, na ang totoo ay kulong na kulong na siya. Hindi na makalagaw mula sa kung anong pantasiya.

"That engagement is out of the scene now. What matters most is your happiness. The happiness that you deserve. If Laurus makes you happy, then forget all your heartaches. Make them your learned lessons and love freely that man in your heart."
