At least maganda parin at kung hindi man tayo umabot malay mo baka hindi pa talaga time namin para magkita " napangit naman ako sa sinabi. Totoo naman kase ilang beses na kaming umaattend ng show at concert nila.

Another message, this time from Xander: "Thank you. For today." "For what exactly?" "For making me feel normal, kahit panandalian lang." My heart squeezed. "Anytime. That's what fake fiancées are for, di ba?" Three dots appeared, disappeared. Then: "Right. Fake." I stared at those two words for a long time. Fake. Contract. Business. So bakit ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko?

Anya sabay na walang buhay na ngumiti. “Is your heart broken right now?” He asked. Tipid siyang tumango. “I was fooled by the man who I thought loved me.

Ang pangit talaga maglaro ng tadhana. Pinapahirapan ka ng matindi”. Anya sabay na pagak na tumawa.

Wala ni isang nagsalita sa amin pero ang mga kamay niya ay hindi pa rin maawat sa paghaplos sa aking beywang. Napatingin ako doon sabay balik ulit sa kanyang mukha. Nakapikit na ang mga mata nito. "Hindi natin magawa 'yong mga bagay na nagagawa natin o nagagawa mo noong may paningin ka. You can't enjoy other things if you can't see. Paano tayo manunuod ng movies? How can you watch me sleeping? How would you know I'm happy and crying? I can fake it all, Dustin. I can pretend I am happy, but if you look into my eyes I am crying. Do you understand what I am saying?"

Ilang sandali ay marahan siyang natawa at iiling-iling akong tiningnan. "You're surprisingly confident for someone who just started living in this world," he seemed amused. "It's called faking it till you make it," I said with a shrug, though I couldn't deny how much his compliment warmed me. Parang naging magaan ang hangin sa pagitan namin pagkatapos ng palitan namin ng compliment. Ilang sandali pa ay iminuwestra na niya ang sasakyan. "We should go. They're waiting for us."

How the hell can't I remember the fact that I marrid Catherine Fe? "Paano ako nakakuha ng cenomar kung kasal na ako by that time! This is fake! So fake! Hindi kami kasal ni Cachi! Paano ang reputation ko? Ng company? Paano ang press! Tel, they're gonna have a field day! Hindi pwedeng maapektuhan ang image ng company! People cannot know about this! It's not even real is it? Tell me!"

Ayaw na niyang maulit ang nangyari kanina sa library na para siyang gaga na dalang-dalang sa mga halik at haplos ni Zyrone. Mabuti nang handa ang huwisyo at mga hormones niya sa mga biglaang fake make-out sessions na kasama sa pagpapanggap nila. She released a slow breath—trying to rein in her emotions. There she was a no-boyfriend-since-birth virgin woman, engaging to a fake make-out session with her fake husband in order to make their sham marriage believable to his dying grandmother who’s the only one who has the power to reverse all the crazy things his shitty father had done.

Hindi ko kayang makipagplastikan dahil sa totoo lang kumukulo ang dugo ko sa kanya. I know I am too young to be this rude but I can't help it. I really can't help it.

Napangisi nga ako nang maisip ang isang ideya, gusto ko siyang gamitin para magpanggap bilang fake boyfriend ko—gusto kong pagsisihan ni Felix ang ginawa niyang panloloko sa akin, ayaw ko namang maging talunan sa harap nilang dalawa ni Zandra “Damian, can you do me a favor?” mahina kong tanong dito, buong buo na ang aking loob, at wala na ngang makakapigil sa akin. “Hmm? What is it?” “Can you pretend as my fake boyfriend? Don't worry, babayaran naman kita, ayaw ko lang na maging talunan sa harap nila Felix at Zandra” umiyak akong muli para magpaawa. I stared at him, directly like I was waiting for his answer.
