Dekko Enriquez is a walking sunshine. Negativity has no room in her world and she believes in the goodness of people. Suddenly, her world did a 360-degree rotation...turning into dark, gruesome and bloody.
How will bubbly Dekko handle being a suspe...

LOUD SHRIEKS CAME out from my friends as soon as Herson and I stepped out of the car. I was shocked to see them waiting for me in the front gate because they don’t usually do that.
Herson, on the other hand, insisted to drive me to school starting today. He kissed my cheeks before going back to his car and that earned a scream from Mich and Seri.
“Bruha ka!” sabi ni Mich sabay hampas sa ‘kin. “Ang sabi ko kiss lang, bakit jinowa mo na agad?”
Seri looked excitedly at me. “Oh my god, sweetie! Did you finally get yourself a boyfriend?”
“I’ll tell you the details later.” Then I smirked.
Kumapit silang dalawa sa aking braso habang naglalakad kami papunta sa building ng Clothing Tech. Hindi nila ako tinitigilan sa pangungulit ng tungkol kay Herson.
“Gaga ka, inabangan ka pa namin sa gate dahil sa chat mo kagabi! Kinutuban na kami ni Seri na tungkol kay Herson ‘yung ike-kuwento mo!”
Natawa naman ako nang malaman kung bakit sila nasa gate. Kapag talaga tsismis, malakas ang “radar” ni Mich. His term, not mine.
“Just tell us, sweetie! We’ll die of curiosity.”
I opened the door of our classroom and they followed inside. When I was about to tell them the story, our professor in Philosophy entered.
Mich rolled her eyes. “Wrong timing naman si bakla!”
Tahimik akong natawa sa pagmamaktol nina Mich at Seri sa aking tabi. Nasa bandang unahan kasi kami nakaupo kaya mahirap mag-ingay. Ang isa pa, medyo OA si Mich kaya siguradong mapapagalitan kami.
Kaya nang dumating ang lunch time ay agad akong hinila ng dalawa patungong cafeteria. Pagkarating na pagkarating n gaming mga pagkain ay sinimulan nila akong bombahin ng mga tanong.
“Kayo na talaga? Wala na akong hope kay Papa Herson?”
“How did it happen? Dekko, come on tell us!”
“Bruha magsalita ka naman! Aamagin na kami kakahintay sa kuwento mo!”
I told them everything that happened at the bar. How I almost drank a drink contaminated with drugs, Herson scolding me for being so careless and finally, how he asked me to be his girl. They also demanded for me to tell how our first date went.
“Oh my god, Dekko! I’m so kilig!” Seri pinched my arms.
Pabirong hinila ni Mich ang buhok ko. “Haba naman ng hair mo! Nakabingwit ka ng Papa! Pa-teach naman!”
Napangiti na lang ako. “I still can’t believe it, girls. Feels surreal.”
“Baka naman may gwapong kuya si Herson. Alam mo na, Dekko.”
“But seriously, sweetie, I’m really happy for you.” Seri gave me a genuine smile.
Mich faked a sob. “Ako rin, bruha! Sa wakas may iba nang mag-iintindi kung nabudol ka na naman ba o hindi.”
