I was so shocked to see Cydeo in front of me, catching his breath with teary eyes. I tried scrutinizing more of him to assume what had happened before our encounter but all I could remember was ... he was with Mezka the whole morning. He even said goodbye to me."Love, what made you come—" I'll just ask him but he cut me off, and what he said made me feel deaf."Mezka and Oshlov cheated on me."I was stunned.I could not react or even move a bit. I didn't know what to say because honestly, it was unbelievable and to be frank here ... How could I comfort him knowing that we also cheated?

After putting my matte lipstick on with the shade of nude, I looked at myself at the mirror. I smiled as I praised how my tanned skin and white fitted dress complemented each other to have a good color appearance. The dress wasn't just plain, its long sleeves and the abdominal part were see-through while the back part was opened. I was also wearing nude boots with five-inch heels which made me feel more comfortable with my outfit that was really perfect for Cydeo's event."Are you ready?" I asked him, while I was still wearing the earing he bought me. I noticed that he had been careless behind me for a while. I could also see in the reflection of the mirror how wrinkled his face was."I think I misplaced something," He murmured but still, I heard it.

I immediately touched the sound of silence as I turned off my soundtrack playing in my ears. I couldn't hide the smile that I was wearing after I passed my hardbound thesis manuscript to the thesis coordinator. I could finally get my diploma soonest. My heart still keep on giving a 'tump' effect on me as I walked out of the research center. I thought I just released all the negative vibes and my electrons loosen up.Electrons? Where did I get that?I laughed alone while shaking my head. I collected my thoughts and sighed when I puzzled and contemplated the premonitions and hunches I have right now.It had been two months after graduation. I haven't seen them

I stepped on the gasoline as I felt the excitement to meet him on a date—on our Second anniversary, aside from the dating and courting time. May halong kaba pero mas pinangungunahan ako ng pagkasabik. I smiled, seeing the flowers placed on the shotgun seat of my car. Magugustuhan kaya niya ang surpresa ko? Naiwan kasi siya sa condo dahil maaga akong umalis para bumili ng bulaklak at pagkain. Napailing na lang ako. Panigurado. Wala naman akong ibinigay na hindi niya nagustuhan, at lahat naman ng tungkol sa 'kin, tinanggap niya.I sighed while my eyes were on the road. Years after years, maraming nagbago. Mas nakilala ko kung sino ako noong minahal ko nang buo at totoo ang sarili. At that process, kasama ko si Cydeo. He helped me to love myself more. He helped me to choose the things that will make me happy and, at the same time, will create a good harmony with ot

"French macarons. Isang box. Strawberry lahat."The cashier titled her head as she took my order. Pati tuloy ako ay napakunot-noo sa reaksyon niya. First time yata nitong makakita ng babaeng bakat ang nipples sa black silk camisole na spaghetti strap at mini skirt na fur ang tela."Excuse me." Akma kong tatanggalin ang mask kong kulay itim din nang bigla na siyang matauhan."Okay po, Ma'am." She immediately punched my order.Habang hinihintay ko siya, hindi ko maiwasang makinig sa mga empleyadong nagtatrabaho rito at naghahagikgikan. Lunch break naman kaya walang kaso at nasa pantry sila.Pero mabilis nang napataas ang kilay ko nang marinig ko na sila nang maayos.
