Kasama ko na si Eius ngayon at nandito kami sa second floor habang ang mga bisita ay nasa ibaba. Ia-announce na ang engagement namin.


"Cheers to the future husband and wife. Mr. Laneius Rui Monserrate and Ms. Esperionne Aster Montaniel."


The crowd cheered. "Cheers!"


I immediately walk my way out. Nagiging emosyonal na naman ako, akala ko wala na akong iluluha pa pero masakit pa rin pala na malaman ang reyalidad. I headed towards the garden and cried there. I sobbed loudly because I'm just the only one here. I didn't removed my mask so that if someone would be here, they can't see my face.


I heard some footsteps heading towards my direction. I immediately wiped out my tears but failed because I don't have a tissue, thanks for the mask though to cover my face. Aayusin ko na lang ang sarili ko sa CR.


Papaalis na ako nang biglang may humatak sa akin. Our gaze met. I met him again. He stared at me intently.


"It's your engagement yet you're not happy." he handed me a handkerchief. " I heard someone's crying and my feet brought me here."


"I'm no—"


"I know you're the one who's crying don't try to deny it."


For once I let myself cry to a stranger. I took off my mask and accepted his handkerchief. I saw him looked so shocked when I took off my mask. He looks amazed.


"Y-you're beautiful." he blurted out of the blue.
