I was staring from afar. She was giving her speech.

Definition of Beauty and Brain.

Wala nga lang manner.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit...kinikilig ako?

Kinakabag ata ako.

"Especially Mam VP Leni has alot of potential for being a president. And of course her three daughters na laging nandyan para sa kanya, we can see that they're consistent with this campaign"

???

Diko na alam ang mararamdaman ko. Why does it feel so weird?!

Hinila ko si Jillian papuntang CR.

"Hoy baket?" She asked.

"Sampalin mo ko" I said seriously.

"Ha? Sapakin ba kamo?" She joked.

"Oo, sapakin mo ko, yung malakas" I said persuading her.

"Anyare ba sayo?" She smiled teasingly.

"Ahhh, alam ko na" She laughed. "Kinikilig ka noh?"

"HINDI! KINAKABAG AKO!" I defended.

"Butterflies yan gaga" She chuckled.

The audacity to call me 'gaga'

"Bye na nga, tinatawag nako ni Mama. Oh, chance mo ng mameet idol mo" She laughed.

"Taena mo talaga Jill!!" I shouted.

"Ano ba talaga kasi nararamdaman mo Joferlyn?" I looked at myself in the mirror.

"Aishhhhh" Padabog akong lumabas sa CR.

- Time Skip -

We're on our way to the resto. Kakain kami ng dinner dun...with Y/N.

Shi-

"Hoy nauna ako!!" I screamed at Jill. Nauna ako papasok sa kotse tapos she shoved me away tapos umupo na sya sa upuan.

"Mehhhhh, too late nauna nako" She teased.

"Oo nga, ayaw mo ba dun?" Napaturo si Ate Aika.

I turned around and saw Y/N in the other car.

"YAWA KAYO!!!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA" They laughed, even the staffs.

"Dun ka na hehe" Mama suddenly peaked through the window.

"MA!!"

"Byeeee" Jill slammed the car door.

Putang-

Pasalamat ka nandyan si Mama..

"Mam Janine?" One of our staff approached me. "Dun na daw po kayo sumakay, utos po ni Mam VP Leni" She said.

"Sige I will" I nodded my head and paved my way on to the car. The driver opened it for me.

Guess what?

I saw her.

We accidentally made an eye contact. Hindi ko alam what to do next.

Naur.

It's so awkward. We both looked at each other, bewildered.

She sat down on my side.

My eyes we're fleeing everywhere. Then I find myself fidgeting my necklace.

"Kamusta?" Tricia suddenly broked the silence.

"A-ah" I can't answer. Doc pa-CPR.

"Hm?" She made a tone and she looked at me.

"Okay lang naman ako" I let out a nervous laugh.

"Ahh"

"How about you?" I suddenly asked. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ko yun ginawa. Shutavels.

"Okay lang naman ako, medjo pagod lang" Her voice really sounds exhausted.

"Balita ko..may bf ka na daw?" She asked me.

"Huh? Sino nagsabi?" I asked her back. "FYI, single po ako" I continued.

"Ahhhh" She smiled a little.

When we came there, nandun na pala lahat sila. Ate Aika, Mam Leni, and Jill. Tsaka yung mga senatorial candidates.

They all greeted me.

And then I saw a sight of Ate Aika. She was looking at Tricia with a ridiculous face. Is she teasing her?

Magkatabi kami ni Tricia sa table since kami yung pinaka last na dumating.

"Oh baka may magsubuan dyan ah" Ate Aika joked.

Tricia looked at her with a death stare.

They all laughed. I know that they're joking about us.

"So, how's your career anak?" Senator Risa asked.

"It's fun and great naman po" I answered.

"Do you have any...relationship?" She continued.

"Ah, wala naman po. But someone was courting me" I laughed a little.

Nasamid bigla si Tricia sa iniinom nya.

"Hey, you okay?" Jillian looked at Tricia with a funny face.

They all smiled. More of like a downward smile.

When we finished eating I felt so much relief. Parang nakawala lang ako sa seda.

Normal pa ba tong nararamdaman ko? Alalahanin mo Tricia, she choosed her dreams over you...wag ka ng magpadulas ulet.

- The Next Day -

The next day, I woked up early kasi pupunta kami sa OVP for a meeting with the staffs dun sa upcoming rally.

Sobrang hands-on ni Mama with her work. Especially kapag nandyan si SenRi, pero wala pa naman daw label. Hindi ko rin alam. Mga torpe kasi.

The meeting was over, it goes well naman. We went to the nearest mall to have dinner.

Then nakasalubong namin si she-who-must-not-be-named

She was with a man. Nakasuot ng suit yung lalaki and his hair were slicked back. Meanwhile she was wearing a white shirt and pants with her hair tucked between her ears. Nagpa bangs ata sya.

I saw the man holding her hands.

....?

Baka ito na yung manliligaw nya?

Her smile was different from what I remembered.

"She's happier with someone rather than you"

"Y/N....."

"Yung tumigil nalang bigla ang mga oras"

"At hindi mo alam kung papaano ang gagawin mo"

"Kasi...sobrang sakit.."

You have to accept it Tricia..just accept it...

We just walked pass them. Hindi nya ba ko nakita?

...wow...

Well what do you expect Joferlyn? Wala na naman syang pagtingin sayo.

"Ma, CR lang ako" I said.

"Sure anak" She nodded her head while I stood up from my chair.

Pagpasok ko ng CR, I never expected that I will broke down.

"Bakit kasi mahal mo pa eh" I said to myself on the mirror. I took off my glasses to wipe my tears but instead it poured more and more.

It felt so heavy. Sobrang bigat.

I don't know what to say.

My eyesight was so blurred.

"She doesn't deserve you Tricia" I cried. "She doesn-" I sobbed.

"Why can't it be me?" I said. I wanted to shout it.

"It was never you"
