"Magkakilala kayo?" Brooke asked and Avery raised her brow at him.
"Of course, kuya," she flipped her hair. "Long time no see, Nesmee! Marami akong ikukwento sa 'yo! Ang tagal na nating hindi nagkita! Ilang taon na ba? 6 or 7 years? In fairness, going strong kayo ni kuya, ah?"
Napaiwas ako ng tingin sa sinabi ni Avery. Hindi updated 'to.
"Ano? Shopping tayo? Bar?" she asked, clueless about the tension inside the room.
"Stop pestering my wife, Avery," Brooke pointed at me when Tito Reinold cleared his throat.
"Correction, son, ex. Ex-wife," he smirked. Natigilan si Brooke bago nag-iwas ng tingin.
"Right. She was my wife," he said as he looked away.
"Wait, what?" Avery raised her brow at us, "Bakit may 'was' at 'ex' na nalalaman?" She asked.
Tita Julie sighed, "We were just talking about the divorce they just filed when I called you, Avery. They're divorcing their marriage," sabi ni tita.
"Ano?!" She stood up from

I shifted uncomfortably on my seat. Hindi ko alam kung bakit dito napiling umupo ni Gia malapit kina Brooke. She said she wants to seat by the wall. Eh itong seat na lang na katapat nina Brooke ang available. He was just seating behind me! Tsk."Ate Nesmee, okay ka lang?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Gia. She sipped on her drink while waiting for my answer."I'm okay," I replied."Nakauwi na pala si Ate Avery?" She asked."Ah, yes. May nirereto na naman nga sa'kin," hindi ko na napigilan ang bibig ko."Ha?" Tumaas ang kilay niya, nagtataka, "Hindi ba may asawa ka na? Wait, what? Sino ang nirereto niya?" She asked. Gia was young. She was about... 4 years younger than

"Hi," I smiled."Si Brooke? Kasama mo?" She asked."Uh, mauna na 'ko," Drake said. "Sumunod kayo kaagad, ah?" He reminded."Of course," Mystique smiled. "Long time no see. Kumusta na ang mga inaanak ko?" She asked."They're okay," sagot ko. Sa limang taong kasal kami ni Brooke, napalapit na rin ako kay Mystique. Nung una, medyo nagseselos pa 'ko sa kanya pero nang mapansin kong platonic lang talaga ang relasyon nila ni Brooke, nawala na lang din naman."Hindi kayo magkasama ni Brooke?" She asked habang tinatanggal na rin ang heels niya. Isa siya sa mga bride's maids kaya magkasama kami. Magkaibigan rin pala sila ni Cleina.

"You will never be my choice," I said and pain crossed her face. A tear fell from her eye which stopped me.Why would she cry?"I will never be your choice..." She trailed, looking down. Another tear fell from her eye before she met my gaze with cold eyes. It was emotionless and something in me made my chest clench at the sight of it. I felt like I don't want her to look at me that way. I want her to look at me like before... with those beautiful eyes glistening with something that really captivates me. But now... She was looking at me with those cold eyes. "Guess nothing was enough for you," she looked away."Renesmee-""Where is it?" She cut me off."What?" I

["Renesmee!"] I distanced my phone from my ear as soon as I answered Avery's call."Avery, ba't ka napatawag?" I asked.["Nesmee, birthday ko na bukas! Punta ka sa bahay, ah? Hawak ko pamilya mo,"] she threatened. Oh, right. Her birthday is tomorrow."Birthday mo na pala bukas?" I teased. Gusto ko lang siyang asarin but the truth is, matagal ko na talagang pinaghahandaan ang birthday niya. Pinaghirapan ko pa 'yung regalo ko sa kanya, ah. I personally designed her a dress and sued it myself.["Such a bad friend! Kaibigan mo 'ko tapos kinakalimutan mo lang birthday ko, ah!"]Nagbangayan pa kami sandali after she invited me. Sabi niya hindi raw makakapunta na raw

"Girlfriend?" His tita murmured, confused. Napatingin siya sa'kin bago niya inilipat ang tingin kay Erina at Brooke. "Am I the only one who doesn't know what's happening? Can someone explain to me what's going on?" I stayed silent. "We're divorced," Brooke answered, glancing at me. It felt like a deja vu, but now, he's not here alone, he was with another woman. Napatingin naman ako sa kambal at nakakunot ang noo ng dalawa. They were curious so I decided to stand up. "Excuse me," I went to them, "Why don't you go to bed, kids? You still have school tomorrow," I asked. I can tell that they don't want to go to bed but they understand the situation. They were so quick to get it. "Mommy, what's a divorce?" They asked. "Some adult stuff that you wouldn't understand," I smiled. Hinatid ko sila sa kwarto ni Brooke at hindi na 'ko nagulat nang makita ko ang collection niya ng mga figurines ng mga MCU character. Ano pa bang aasahan ko?

"Ex-suitor?!" Dri hissed. "Wow, so you guys had a lot of history, huh?"My lips were still parted so Kurt laughed at me."Yeah, we have a lot of history," he smirked, "I can even remember her being the biggest dork I have ever met," he teased.I raised a brow, "Excuse me?! I wasn't a dork! You were the dork one! Come on, don't you remember the time when we stayed outside your sister's condo for almost two hours because you said you didn't have a key when in fact it was in your pocket the whole time?!" I said and he pursed his lips."Well?" He raised a brow, "Do you remember when we were playing tag before and you were it? You ran to me and then you tripped, and you even pulled my pants with you!" Sumbat niya kaya napaubo ako. Dri laughed at that, Erina was smiling at the story while Brooke was only staring at the both of us, silently watching the two of us argue. His gaze was dark and his jaw was tightly clenched. "Like what the hell, that was the most embarrassing thing that ever hap

"Happy birthday, daddy!" I greeted my father. It was his birthday so we went to one of Brooke's family's resort to celebrate. Kasama ko ang pamilya ko pati na rin ang pamilya nila Brooke sa pag-celebrate ng birthday ni daddy.Matagal nang magkaibigan ang daddy ko at daddy ni Brooke. I heard that they were best of friends since then. 'Yon din siguro ang rason kung bakit naisipan nilang ipagkasundo kaming mga anak nila.Anak!" My dad hugged me and the kids. Sabay kaming pumunta dito nina Brooke. We decided to take one car and he drove for us. Though hindi ko pa rin siya kinakausap. Ayoko pa.These kinds of things only exist in movies — that's what I thought. I mean, arranged marriages and all that are too old-fashioned. Hindi dapat pinipili ng mga magulang kung sino dapat ang makakasama ng mga anak nila sa buong buhay nila. At the end of the day, they wouldn't be the one who'll spend it.But at the same time as I believed that, I couldn't help but to ponder upon the things that could've

HIS POV"Sorry, sorry---" her gaze went up to me and she halted.We were looking into each other's eyes when suddenly, she looked away. And I saw how pain glimmer in the depths of her eyes. It has been two weeks since I last saw her. It was in the wedding. I wanted so bad to go to her but I asked myself, why would I? It's not like she's still my wife. And that thought still isn't enough for me to not think about going to her but I held myself tighter."You can go inside first," I said, staring at her.She didn't say anything and just entered the café. Napakunot pa ang noo ko nang mapansin ang mga in-order niya. It was really unhealthy. And what, beer? Early in the afternoon? Seriously?"That's unhealthy," I said."I'll mind my own business if I were you," she said.Nagsungit pa nga.I didn't know that she can be this cold! And whether I admit it or not, I was bothered by it!Erina was already there when I arrived so I just had to sit and eat.I kept on glancing on their table and when
