Kakarating ko lang galing school at agad na sumalampak ako sa higaan dahil sa pagod. Hindi din kasi ako nakatulog ng sapat na oras kagabi tapos andami pa naming ginawa sa school.

I took my phone out from my pocket dahil nag virbate ito. Naka silent pala pala ang phone ko. I read all of the messages I received, ang iba roon ay galing kay Calren na kaninang umaga pa pala nya sinend saakin pero hindi ko manlang nabasa at nareplyan.

Calren:

Hey, beauty. I know you're busy that's today, please make sure to always eat on time. I love you.

Habang nag titipa ng irereply sakanya ay nakatanggap ako ng message mula kay Nadia. Huminto ako sa ginagawa at binuksan ang message nya.

Nads:

Are you sure you're not coming tonight?

I replied her that I won't be coming and that they should have fun without me. Matapos mareplyan ay agad akong bumalik sa pagtitipa ng irereply kay Calren.

Me:

Hey, I'm sorry. I just got home from school. It's such a long and exhausting day. How are you?

I left my phone to have shower. Siguro ay busy din sya doon. Minsan kasi talaga ay hindi nagpapang-abot ang oras naming dalawa. But we always compromise so that we could have a little time to talk to each other like what other couples do ahen they're far away from each other.

Matapos maligo ay agad akong bumalik sa kama para i check ang phone ko kung nag reply ba sya. But when I checked it, there are no messages coming from him. Maybe he's busy?

Tinawagan ko sya ngunit hindi sya sumasagot. I have also tried calling him through his phone number pero nag riring lang ito. Siguro ay umalis syang hindi dala ang phone o baka naman nasa kotse nya ito?

Habang nag aantay ay inopen ko ang Facebook ko. Hanggang ngayon ay kaunti parin ang mga kaibigan ko dito. Most of them are jusy my classmates. Hinihingi kasi nila ang name ko sa FB in case icontact nila ako for anything. Mag aalas siete na ay naghihintay parin ako sa reply nya. I didn't go downstairs to eat dahil busog pa naman ako at alam din yo'n ni Ate Delya.

Napadpad ako sa timeline ni Sir Calren. Nagbago sya ng profile picture, 2 weeks after namin maging mag on. Picture ko yo'n na nakatalikod. I think it was taken from one of our dates.

I scrolled down at nakita ko ang isang post na agad nagpatindig ng balahibo ko. He was tagged on a photo by Franchessa, and it was posted 5 hours ago. Nakangiti si Franchessa at nakaakbay naman sakanya si Calren na nakatingin sa malayo. This picture wasn't taken from many years ago, this picture was just recently captured. Napatakip ako sa bibig ko. Bakit hindi nya saakin sinabi na nasa US din si Franchessa, at kasama pa sila?

I tear fell from my eyes as I read the caption she attached to the photo.

WITH HIM, MY FOREVER HAPPINESS.

Mas lalo akong nanlumo nang basahin ko ang mga komento ng nakakakilala sa kanila. Some of them also asked if kami pa daw ba ni Calren or hindi na. Some of them congratulated her, while I was being referred to as 'that cheap girl' by most of them. It really destroyed me when I saw one comment from a stranger.

CALREN'S JUST RUINING HIS CAREER DAHIL SA PAGPATOL NYA SA KATULONG NYA. HE DESERVES BETTER. MABUTI NALANG AT NANDYAN KA, FRAN.

Napatulala ako matapos mabasa ang komento na 'yon. Napagulhol ako ng mapagtanto na hindi lang pala ako ang sinisira ko, maging si Calren ay nadadamay na rin. Umiyak ako ng umiyak for straight ten minutes. Nang mapagod ay pinulot ko ulit ang telepono at nag dial doon.
