Prologue

Kai's Pov.

I thought everyone's lying, lalo na ang kapatid ko, dahil pinagbibintangan niya ang boyfriend ko na may relasyon sa kaibigan ko. I never doubted my boyfriend 'cause he's like a walking green flag he always cared for me. That's why me and my sister had an argument.

Not until I discovered that my sister was telling the truth. Everyone wasn’t lying. Everything they told me was true.

Sumakay ako sa isang bus papunta sa bahay ng lola ko. Habang nasa biyahe, nag-stop yung bus sa hintayan ng mga sasakyan. Sa harap nun, there was a store. Not just a small store malaki 'to at may mga pasaherong nagsibabaan para bumili.

Nakatulala lang ako sa bintana, nakatingin sa labas. Then I saw a familiar face. I stared at that boy for a long time, dahil medyo malayo sila  and then I realized—it was my boyfriend, at may kasama siyang babae. I thought it was just a random girl na nagtatanong sa kanya, but suddenly, the girl kissed him on the lips.

I was in shock. Lalabas na sana ako at lalapit, nang makita ko ang mukha ng babae.

It was Yllana my best friend. Napaluha na lang ako.

It felt like my head was going to burst. Galit na galit ako sa sarili ko. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nangyayari.

**HINDI ‘TO TOTOO.**

**THIS IS NOT TRUE!**

**HINDI ‘TO TOTOO.**

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Basta na lang tumulo yung luha ko habang tinitingnan silang dalawa na naghahalikan.

Three years na rin ba nila akong niloloko? Hindi ko maiwasang mag-overthink.

I was trying to stop my tears from falling kasi nagsibalikan na ang mga pasahero at tutuloy na rin yung bus. Hindi ko mapigilan yung luha ko, kaya hinayaan ko na lang silang tumulo.

A guy approached me and asked what happened, but I didn’t respond. Instead, mas lumala pa yung pag-iyak ko.

Inabutan niya ako ng panyo, then tumabi siya sa akin. He was patting my head habang umiiyak ako.

The guy tried to comfort me, but it got even worse. Mas lalo akong naiiyak kapag tinatanong ako, mas lalo akong naiiyak kapag may taong nakikipag-usap sa akin habang umiiyak ako.

I tried to stop kasi nahihiya ako sa kanya. Habang pinupunasan ko yung luha ko, the guy hugged me and even kissed my head. Then he said:

"I don't know what happened to you, but always remember to keep being positive. Always care for yourself." And he smiled.

It felt like my heart was going to melt. Kaya imbes na tumigil na ako sa pag-iyak, mas lalo pa akong umiyak ulit.

I don’t know what happened next that time. Basta ang alam ko, pagkatapos kong umiyak, bumaba na ako dahil nag-stop na yung bus sa bababaan ko.

After I discovered the truth, I broke up with my boyfriend. I also confronted my best friend about what I found out. She tried to explain, but I no longer trusted her, so I cut her off completely.

I started distancing myself from everyone anyone who tried to get close to me. Nag-transfer na rin ako ng school para makapag-heal at makalimot sa lahat ng nangyari sa buhay ko kasama ang boyfriend at best friend ko.

Everything will changed. Kahit masakit sa part ko, I need to move on and heal.
