"Matulog ka na kaya muna Rose?", one of my roommate told me. Katatapos lang ng final exam namin for the second term. At ito na yata ang pinakamahiral na term sa lahat!
I'm on my second year college in Accountancy by the way. Wala pa akong tulog mula kahapon!

I just gave her a small smile at pinagpatuloy ang pagdesign sa cake. It's for my boyfriend—for his birthday.
Napangiti ako with the thought na matutuwa siya because of this. This cake was made with his favorite color and favorite flavor and of course, made by my love.
Napailing na lang ang roommate ko sa akin. Hindi ko na lang pinansin. One year na kami ng boyfriend ko and ever since hindi niya daw 'trip' ang aura ng boyfriend ko. I just set that aside since she never meddle naman with my decisions and just let us but she's not also kind to him. Parang ate ko na kasi siya.
Pagkatapos kong balutan ang cake at lagyan ng ribbon ang box, I've decided to bath at pumunta na sa condo niya. He said may munting celebration doon with his friends. Ang alam niya ay hindi ako makakapunta because that's what I have told him. But it's a white lie. I'm gonna surprise him!
I just wore a simple blue knee-length dress, paired with a white sandals.
Pagkapasok ko sa condo niya ay sumalubong sa akin ang maiingay niyang kabarkada.
They kind of shocked when they saw me. Nakita kong napailing ang isa niyang kaibigan. Isa sa pinakamabait niyang kaibigan. Lumapit ako sa kaniya.
"Where's Shaun, Jake?", I asked him.
"Akala ko ba hindi ka makakapunta?", he seriously asked.
" Well, I want to surprise him", nakangiti kong turan.
Napailing siya but still tinuro ang kwarto ni Shaun. I thanked him at dali-daling pumunta roon.
When I opened the door, I clearly saw how he bend down his head and kissed Maurice, his ex.
I don't know what to do nor felt. But I do know how the box slipped on my hand and fell on the floor.
Sabay silang napabalikwas at lumayo sa isa't isa. Shaun looked so shocked so as Maurice, na napayuko na lang.
I didn't say a thing at dali-dali na lang lumabas. Habang naglalakad ako papalabas, saka ko lang napansin na tahimik na ang condo at nakatingin nalang sa akin ang mga kaibigan niya. Paglingon ko kay Jake ay hindi niya magawang salubungin ang tingin ko. I stifle a laugh, a painful laugh. I felt...betrayed.
"Rose...", rinig kong tawag ni Shaun.
I stopped and looked at him.
Nang makalapit siya ay niyakap niya ako agad.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry", paulit-ulit but I didn't feel any ease.
I hugged him back and whisper, " Happy Birthday... Love"
Agad akong bumitaw sa yakap niya.
"My gift for you was on the door of your room and I hope this will be the last time that I will ever see you again", pilit kong sabi sa kaniya.
At bago pa tumulo ang luha ko, tinalikuran ko na siya pati ang relasyong akala ko ay totoo pero hindi pala ako nag iisa sa kaniya.
