Three boys loved me in three different ways; the first one who saw me as someone who can play fire with him, the second one, whose heart was pure, obey and respected me. And lastly, the one who saw me inside and out yet accepted me despite my flaws...

"Who's that? He's god— my apology above father but who the hell is that goddamn... real Hercules behind you, sis?"
Nasapo ko ang aking noo, kabilaan kong tiningnan ang reaction ni Ana at Simon. Nahihiya ako sa reaction ni Isaac. Isang tawag lang sa face time ay sinagot agad niya. Gusto ko sanang kausapin muna si Isaac, kaso wala pang panimula ay naunahan agad ako ng aking kaibigan. Ayaw maniwala ni Simon na best friend ko si Isaac. Matalik na kaibigan, hanggang doon lamang. Kaso hindi na ako pinagpaliwanag. Gusto niya na kaagad magpa-book ng ticket palipad sa Manhattan para lamang personal na makilala ito.
Ngayong tumawag ako, hindi ko aakalaing ganito ang magiging reaction ni Isaac. Hindi ko siya masisisi. Hindi ko nabanggit ang tungkol kay Simon. Ang tungkol sa naging buhay ko rito sa Pilipinas.
"Come on, Malleury. Care to tell me what exactly the reason of your." He quoted his fingers in the air while rolling his eyes. He looked cute and gay-ish. "Sudden vacation there in the Philippines?"
I cleared my throat to break the silence between us. "Excused me," kay Simon ko iyon sinabi para solohin na si Isaac.
Siguro naman ay sapat ng rason ang nakita niya para maniwalang walang threat kay Isaac. My god! Lumabas ako sa veranda para sa mahabang paliwanagan. Panalangin ko lang ay hindi mag-tongue twist ang utak ko kung paano ko sisimulang sabihin sa kanya.
"Look, Isaac."
Pagkasara ng pinto. Hinahabol ako ng tingin ni Simon. I shooed him, not letting him hear my conversation with my friend. "I am here to buy our ancestral mansion. I didn't know that..." I began. Hinihimay ang bawat detalye, mga bagay na hindi niya dapat malaman at tutal ay alam niya ang tungkol sa pagkakagahasa ko ay sasabihin ko na rin. Isa pa, bakit pa ako mahihiya? Hindi naman talaga ako nagahasa.
"Are you telling me the truth?"
See. He won't believe me. Now I am struggling how I am going to prove myself. Syempre, hindi ko sasabihing nag-sex kami ni Simon at siya ang nakauna. Masakit kaya! Tapos noong naligo kami, my down there same his were bleeding. It came from my pop cherry! It was truly confirmed!
"Ninia Nuezcas. She is our witness. She can probe my innocence and purity."
Isaac began to tear up. "I'm happy that everything settled then. I am genuinely happy for you, Malleury."
Tumango ako. Naiiyak din.
Sa kabilang banda, hindi ako nagsisisi na sabihin ang lahat ng ito sa kanya. Bukod kay Simon, isa si Isaac sa tunay kong mapagkakatiwalaan.
Tinago ni Isaac ang pag-iyak sa isang ngisi. "By the way, Simon is a real deal. I searched his name in google and looked at what I found!"
"What? Send it to my Viber."
Isaac was busy scrolling his phone while biting his lips. I hate seeing him like that. It means he like what he sees and fetish screamed on his cute blue eyes. My Viber showed notification for a screen shot. Doon palang sa bungad na salitang Bausch ay nakuha ko na. "He is included at Bausch Men's magazine?"
