"Hayst! Our vacation days will end soon but I still can't travel to different places," I sighed to what my bestfriend Canary said.
"What are you saying?! What can't travel? You almost tour the whole Philippines yesterday Canary."
"What? I didn't Gwenella. I've just been to Tagaytay, Cebu, and what's the name of the other one? Aish! I forgot the name of the other one but I know, I've just been to 3 places."
I just face palmed to what she's saying. Canary's family is rich and their bussinesses are so successful. Her parents give her plenty of money that's why she can go to different places and enjoy her vacation life.
"Whatever Canary! You always spend money for some sort of things. If I were you, I should start saving my money for better future," I suggested.
She smiled bitterly at me then drink her iced tea, "Stop it Gwenella. We both know that money’s the only thing my parents can gave me," she said then laugh but her eyes were sad.
I looked at her sincerely, "I'm sorry Canary."
"Nah. It's okay. Let's just talk about other stufs, okay?"
I just nod to her.
Like what I've said, Canary's family is so rich. Both of her parents were successful. She's an only child and because of that, she can easily get what she wants. But like me, she's also longing for her parents care, time and love and that's what made her not contented. Maybe that's what made us bestfriends. Canary grow up with her maids around. Never in her life she experienced what it feels to be protected and take care of her own parents. She can just see them when it's her birthday or if there is some sort of occassions.
"Hello?" I look at her. She's talking with someone on the phone.
I just eat my strawberry cake and look around while she's talking on the phone. We're in a coffee shop right now in the mall.
"Ah... Is that so?" I look at her again. "Ah. Okay. Okay. Yes. I'll go."
"Why?" I asked when she started to pack her things.
"My family will celebrate something on Cebu. Mom told me to attend there."
"What? How long will you stay there? It will only be 5 days and our class will start soon."
"Yeah. Don't worry Gwenella. I think we'll not stay there for too long. You know? They all have busy schedules. I think I'll be back after 3 days."
"Oh, okay. Take care."
"Oh? You're not coming home with me?"
I shook my head. "Kier and I will be dating later and I have my car with me."
Canary grinned at me that made me laugh. "Okay. Enjoy on your date, lovebirds," she said grinning while walking out of the coffee shop.
Kier and I planned to just meet her in the mall because he said that the restaurant were going is near here.
We're in a 3-years relationship. Kier is so famous at our school. One of the reason is his handsome face. He's not snobber, sporty, and he's jollyalong. He's my crush back then and for me, to know that he likes me too was just so fairytale-like! Haha! Yeah. I really thought that I am a princess because of all those beautiful girls whose ready to die just to have him, he chosed me. That's the reason why when he told me he likes me, I already told him to not court me anymore because I'll be his girlfriend quickly.
"I'll just stroll around. In fact, I still have much time before 6."
I walk to the clothes shop. I look for dresses that fits my taste but I didn't buy it. Haha! Window shopping, hehe.
"What do you want babe?" I look at my back. That voice was familiar.
"The blue one babe. Does it fits me?" I heard the girl asked in a flirty way.
I can't really see them because of the clothes blocking my sight to them.
"Okay. We'll buy that."
After hearing that familiar voice again, I instantly pushed aside the clothes blocking me to them. I was shocked when I saw the man holding the girl at her hips that almost looks like a clown because of her thick makeups.
"K-Kier," shock can be read to Kier's face. He instantly remove his hands at the hips of the clown-looking girl.
"Gwenella"
"Babe, do you know her?"
I can feel those hot liquids that wants to get out from my eyes. I know that it will only be seconds before they start to rushed down.
I walk near to them with my hands itching. And he also got guts to use our endearment with that clown girl?!
"Gwenell let me ex-" I didn't let him finish what he's trying to say for my hands already finds its own way to his face. I slapped him really hard.
"What the fvck?!" I looked at the clown girl that looks really pissed at me. "What is your problem?"
I looked at her from head to toe. Tss... Is this Kier's taste of girls? Even beggars can defeat this clown girl when it comes to beauty.
I didn't bother myself to look with the clown girl again. It makes me pissed. I look again to Kier and slap him again harder than the one a while ago.
The saleslady and those who were inside the shop was shocked to what I did. I don't care if I make a scene here, I just..., I just want to bring out my anger. I was cheated by my boyfriend.
"That's for all your lies," I said then slapped him again.
"That's for cheating on me," I firmly closed my eyes to stop my tears from falling. I will never give them the satisfaction to see me cry in front of them. Over my dead body. I slapped him again.
"That's for using our own endearment with that clown," I slapped him again harder. His face was getting red because of the slaps I am giving him while he's firmly starring at me. Fvck his brown eyes! I hate brown eyes!
"That's for the 3 years that you wasted." I slapped him again twice but this time it was more painful and harder. I have to do this. It's my only way to show him how badly I'm hurt.
I looked at the clown girl and quickly slapped her face that made her shocked.
"That's for displaying your face that looks like a clown because of lots of makeups," I can see how those salesladies watching us tried their best to stop themselves from laughing while irritation and anger can be read to the clown girl's face.
I slapped her again to the other side of her face. "That's for flirting with MY boyfriend."
Before I slapped her, she moves quickly and slapped me right at my face. I feel like I was numb for I can't even feel the pain of her slap.
"I didn't take him from you! He's the one who approached me!" she said and was about to slap me again but I already grab her hand.
She's trying to retrieve it but I am holding her firmly. "Once is enough but twice is too much."
A really really hard three slap was awarded to her face by me. After that, I pushed her away from me that made her lie on the floor.
"Ouch!" she stagly said. What a flirt!
"You don't have the right to slap me because your beauty is no match even to my fingertips. Just accept it because it'll never change even if we flip this world over and over."
"Stop it Gwenella. You're making a scene. It's embarrassing!" Kier's eyes was ablaze with anger.
Before I can even stop myself, I kick his ass
"You're the one who should be embarassed! You're an impudent womanizer and an asshole motherfucker. Jerks like you should rot in hell! We're over."
I kicked him again before I turned my back and walked out of that exhausting place, "You're not worth for my tears Kier. Karma will run after you!" The ocean of people watching the scene I am making was parted when I started to walk through.
I am a kind person. Hurt me or leave me, it's just okay with me but when you hurt me too much, you'll never want our lives to meet again.
When I got inside my car, I shed the tears that I had always wanted to.
He was my first. First boyfriend, first crush, first romantic love, first holding hands, and first kiss. Fvck that 3 years! I loved him. I did everything for him. I tried to understand him everytime. I didn't forbid him to do what he wanted so that he wouldn't feel choked. I tried to act not jealous even if it was too much. But why does he still have to do this?! What did I've done wrong to deserve this from him?!
I was crying as I picked up my cellphone and called Canary. I tried my best for her not to notice that I was crying while speaking.
"Oh Gwenella! Why? I thought you have a date with Kier? Why did you call?"
"Where are you?" instead of answering her questions, that's what I said.
"What? Ah, I'm alreay in Cebu. Why? Is there any problem? Why is your voice like that? Did something happened?"
I smiled bitterly, "Ah. Haha! Nothing. I just miss you," I lied.
"Ay! You're so dramatic! I know you just want some souvenirs. I'll buy something for you, don't worry." I heard her laugh at her own joke.
If it were another day I would have laughed. "Haha," I plasticly laughed. "Okay. I'll be right back. Kier is here," I said stopping myself from sobbing.
"Ay! Okay. Enjoy on your date. How I wish I have a boyfriend too, haha!"
I only cried for a few hours in my car. Are all men really cheaters?
I stopped crying when I felt my cellphone vibrate. I wiped away the tears before answering the call.
"Hello Manang Yoli?" I said as I answered our maid's call.
"Oh, Señorita Gwenella why is your voice like that? Are you crying? "Manang asked worriedly
"Ah, no. I'm just having a cold," I lied then sniff to make it more realistic. "Why were you calling?"
"Ah, is that so?" she said. "Your sister, Hainz, ija."
"Why? What happened to Hainz Manang?"
"She's still not home. It's past 12 already." she worriedly said.
I glanced at my watch. It is twelve o'clock at midnight.
"Where is she? I'll pick her up."
"I don't know. But she packed her clothes earlier. She brought a bag with clothes then left. I think she's at Trixie's house. We all know that Trixie is her only friend. Alright Senyorita Gwenella. Be careful when driving."
"All right. Thank you."
I let out a deep sigh first, fixed my self and drove my car to Trixie's house.
