Sabi naman nung mag-asawang kukupkop sayo, wala ka naman daw kailangang alalahanin dahil pwede ka daw tumira sa kanila ng LIBRE. Huh? LIBRE? Uso pa ba yun sa panahon ngayon?

"enjoying the view?" Gulat akong napatingin sa pinanggalingan ng tinig na iyon. Then I saw Faris Rein Cervantes standing near me, quietly watching me while her hands are on her pant suits pocket, wearing her business attire, looking at me with her unreadable eyes. "Glad you came with my secretary here. Did she excuse you to your class?" She continue asking. "I don't know why I need to be here." I said confusedly instead of answering her. "I thought we're okay now? Na bayad na ako sa nagawa ko sayo?" Tumango ito bilang sagot bago humakbang patungo sa upuan na katapat lang ng sofa na inuupuan ko at umupo rin doon. "B-bakit mo pa ako hinahanap?" Matagal itong hindi sumagot at seryosong nakatitig lang sa aking mga mata na ginantihan ko naman ng nagtatanong na tingin. Ilang sandali pa ang lumipas bago ito nagsalita. "Because I need you." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi nito. Matapos ay natulala lang ako dito while still processing on my mind what she mean by that. "I still need you to act as my girlfriend." Pagpapatuloy nito. "Let's continue pretending, Miss Fontejar." Tuluyan na akong napatanga sa kanya. Oh my goshhh... What is happening to the earth???! I know that she's open to the public about her sexuality. Pero hindi kaya nababaliw na siya?? Who would be crazy to believe that a cheerleader STUDENT like me will be the girlfriend of as goddess as FARIS CERVANTES??! The famous young billionaire! The one who holds the title of the most SNOB most SERIOUS most COLD woman! and never give a d*mn to smile as if it's the most stupid thing to do. Ngayon, sino naman ang lolokohin naming maniniwala na papasa akong girlfriend niya? Hellooo... im just a simple cheerleader Queen Bee na ang hobbies bukod sa magpahagis sa ere ay ang mainggit sa love life ng mga kaibigan ko!

Ano nga ba yung gayuma? -Ang Gayuma o love potion ay kilala din bilang isang uri ng black magic. Ito ay ginagamit upang makapang-akit at mapa-ibig ang isang tao, gayong hindi naman ito gusto ng taong ginagayuma. Ang panggayuma ay ay kadalasang inihahalo sa inumin ng gagayumahin. Ito raw ay magiging mas mabisa kung lubos ang paniniwala ng nanggagayuma sa kapangyarihan nito. Ah, eh uso pa ba ngayon ang gayuma? - sa probinsya uso pa rin yan, pero dito sa Manila wala na. saka sino ba naman kasing maniniwala sa gayu-gayuma na yan. Ahm, kung saka-sakali ba na may mahal ka tapos hindi ka mahal gagamit ka ng gayuma? -no way! Gusto ko mahalin nya ko dahil yun yung nararamdaman nya, hindi dahil lang sa pinainom sya or nagayuma sya. Oo yan yung sagot ko dati. Pero hindi na ngayon, dahil gagawin ko lahat para mahalin ako ni Jordan. Maghahanap ako ng gayuma. Kailangan mahalin nya ko sa kahit anong paraan. Pero papano kung biglang nagkaron ng maliit na problema? Yung gayumang para kay Jordan, iba yung nakainom. Yung kakambal nya na si Justine. Ang masama pa nito, babae yung kakambal nya at malapit na ikasal. Anong gagawin ko ngayon? Sabi nung matandang binilhan ko, pwede naman daw mawala yung bisa ng gayuma, kailangan lang daw i-mix yung"blue alum crystals" sa kumukulong tubig ulan ..tapos ipainom daw to dun sa taong nagayuma. Ok na sana, nagawa ko na yung antidote. Pero bakit hindi ko magawang ipainom kay Justine? Dahil ba minahal ko na rin sya? Ano nga bang dapat kong gawin? Ang itama yung mali ko pero masasaktan ako? o magpakaselfish at itago kay Justine yung antidote? Ako nga pala si Klarisse Lopez at ito ang magulong buhay-pagibig ko. Actually, normal lang sana, kung hindi ko lang ginamitan ng.. GAYUMA.
