Lumapit siya dito. “Hi,” bati niya sa babae. Ngumiti naman ito sa kanya. "Can I borrow your ring?" Napatingin ito sa suot na singsing. "Why?" "You see that guy?" Turo niya kay Zaver na ngayon ay nakayuko at alam niya na ilang segundo na lang ay sasabog na ito sa galit. "He is my friend and that girl is the one who broke his heart. I just wanted to show to that girl that she wastes a man like Zaver."

"Don't listen to her, Luca. Siya ang nang-iwan sa 'yo, remember? Ako 'yung nanatili." I looked at Leila, then back at Luca. My heart wasn't just broken; it was gone. Burado na. I didn't feel like screaming anymore. Instead, a cold, heavy calmness settled over me. I looked at the gold band on my finger, the ring na dapat sana ay simbolo ng lifetime commitment namin. Now, it just felt like a piece of cheap metal. Dahan-dahan ko itong hinugot mula sa daliri ko. My hands were steady now. I looked Luca straight in the eye while I dropped the wedding ring into Leila’s half-filled wine glass. It made a small, pathetic clink as it sank to the bottom.

Isa itong elegante, custom-made ring na may sapphire sa gitna na kasingkulay ng dagat, pinalilibutan ng maliliit na brilyante. "Noong una kitang inalok ng kasal, puro kontrata at proteksyon lang ang dahilan," malambot na panimula ni Gabby. "Noong pangalawa sa ospital, puro takot at kasinungalingan. This time... no more contracts. No more fear. No more ticking clocks." Hinawakan ni Gabby ang nanginginig na kamay ni Cassie.

“HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT THIS IS A SMALL PROBLEM? MY SISTER'S AND YOUR BROTHER'S DEATH, OUR NEPHEW'S LOST MEMORIES IS A SMALL THING? A SMALL PROBLEM?! WOW! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT BUT IT'S NOT SURPRISING. THE MIGHTY AND PERFECT MR. AVELLINO IS AN ASSHOLE. YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO INSULT ME, QUESTION MY NORMS? MY VALUES AND MY WAY OF LIVING THEN YOU'RE LIKE THIS? THAT'S... DISAPPOINTING.” Napapikit si Letitia at napaupo, nararamdaman niya na nanghihina ang kaniyang mga tuhod dahil siguro sa biglaan niyang pagsigaw. “GUSTO KO LANG MAGING MASAYA! I CAN'T HAVE THE CHILDHOOD I WANT! THE TEENAGE LIFE I WANT! I CAN'T HAVE THE LIFE I WANT! ITO NA LANG, ITO NA LANG ANG PAMBAWI KO. I WANT TO LIVE MY MARRIED LI

"Oh yea, I forgot to give it to Ann." Napamaang na lang si Ann noong tumakbo si Clayton pataas. Mayamaya ay bumaba ito at may dala-dalang parihabang kahita. Inabot nito iyon sa kanya at binuksan naman ni Ann ang hawak. Sumalubong sa kanya ang purple crystal bracelet na may pendant ng initial niya. Sa tingin ni Ann ay handmade iyon kaya nag-angat siya ng tingin. Did he order this? Mukhang mamahalin kasi.

Siguradong matatapos na agad ang kung anong mayro'n kami ngayon. Huminga ako nang malalim at muling tumingin sa kanya. "Tama ka. What I did was wrong. Pero mali pa rin ang ginawa mo sa akin. You broke up with me when we never even had the chance to start dating! Do you know how heartbreaking that was?" Nagpanggap ako na naiiyak-iyak. It's not that my heart is broken, but my pride is! Hindi ako papayag na talikuran ako ng kahit na sinong lalaki. I will never lose in this game!

I'll never fall for him. I looked at him, his eyes sparkling with happiness and hope. I also noticed there was something different about him today. He had an undercut, and he was wearing my favorite perfume. "Look. How can I say this to you?" I knelt down to look at the ring's stone. I mentally smirked. I think this is the right time for us to end this game. It was obvious he was completely head over heels for my beauty. But too bad for him. I had no intention of marrying him—ew, that's a big NO.

“Baby, dali na, no one’s here naman—“ Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makitang nakapilipit si Summer kay Rome habang sinusubukan niya itong halikan sa labi. Panay din ang pag-iwas ni Rome at nang makita nila akong pumasok ay bigla namang kumawala si Rome kay Summer. “Why, babe? It’s just Gail and she’s well aware that we are getting married. What’s wrong with being clingy and touchy—“

Ngumuso ako sa kwento niya. “Hala dear alam mo ba, panay rin siya sigarilyo kanina?” Ngumuso ako lalo. “Break na ba kayo?” Tanong niya. “I don’t know, wala akong naalala na nakipaghiwalay kami sa isa’t isa.” Maktol ko, maya-maya ay inilabas ni Amaya ang alak sa paper bag. “Alam kong broken ka pero hindi ko alam kung saan kaya nagdala ako alak, expensive ‘to.” Naupo ako at pinagsaluhan namin yung alak.
