Social Introvert

Ang first love ng asawa ko ay nag-post ng isang video sa kanyang social media. Sa video, nagpapasa silang dalawa ng playing card gamit ang kanilang mga labi. Nang mahulog ang card ay nagtagpo ang kanilang mga labi sa isang halik. Hindi sila huminto—parang nawala sa sandaling iyon, mapusok silang naghalikan sa loob ng isang minuto. Ang caption niya: [Still the same clumsy piggy! PS: Ang mga skills ni Steve ay kasing galing tulad ng dati!] Tahimik kong ni-like ang post at nag-iwan ng komento: [Congrats.] Sa sumunod na segundo, tumawag ang asawa ko, galit na galit na sumigaw, "Walang ibang babaeng kasing drama mo! Nakipaglaro lang ako kay Lanie. Bakit naman ummakto ka na parang baliw?" Noon ko napagtanto na ang pitong taon ng pag-ibig ay walang kahulugan. Oras na para umalis ako.

Dapat ay para sa foreigner na online boyfriend ni Erica ang nudes na sinend niya—pero sa boss niya napunta. Oo, yung boss niyang halos araw-araw na lang galit sa kanya. Akala niya katapusan na ng mundo niya, lalo na kung malaman ito ng fiancée ng boss niya at ipinost sa social media para sirain siya. Inisip niyang matatanggal siya sa trabaho at wala nang balikan ang reputasyon niya. Pero nagulat siya nang mapanood ang boss niya sa isang interview. Kalmado lang ito at ang sabi: "Girlfriend ko siya. Normal lang naman iyon sa magkarelasyon." At just like that, nasangkot na siya sa isang kasinungalingang hindi niya inasahan. Kapalit ng pagtanggol sa kanya, kailangan niyang magpanggap na girlfriend ng boss niya... at kunwari'y nagmamahalan sila. Hindi ito bahagi ng trabaho niya. Pero bakit parang unti-unti, nagiging totoo ang lahat?

Ang boyfriend ko ay itinuturing na prince charming sa aming social circle, ngunit sa selebrasyon ng kaarawan ko sa isang yate, tinulak niya ako sa dagat para lang magpakitang-gilas sa isa pang babae mula sa aming university, pinagtawanan nila ang takot ko sa tubig. Lingid sa kaalaman niya, mayroon akong aquaphobia. Dahil dito, sinugod ako sa ICU habang nagawa naman niyang makuha ang puso ng campus belle. Noong nagising ako, nasa tabi ko siya at humihingi ng kapatawaran, ngunit wala akong ideya kung sino siya. “Pasensya na, kilala ba kita?” Tanong ko, takang-taka ako. Pinaliwanag ng doktor na nawala ang ibang alaala ko. Subalit, patuloy niyang ipinagpilitan na siya ang boyfriend ko. Hindi ko napigilang makipagtalo sa kanya. “Imposible! Si Raleigh Landon ang boyfriend ko!” Alam ng lahat na si Raleigh Landon ang pinakamumuhian niyang kaaway.
