Hi! I have a facebook group po. Baka lang gusto niyong sumali since may mga nagtatanong sa akin about this. The link is on my profile po. Thank you!

Ps. Do not look for Lucifer kasi matagal pa bago siya bumalik. Hehe.

"Hell, bumaba ka na para makakain ka." I heard my mom.

Hindi ako sumagot. I only covered myself using my comforter. Ang dilim ng bawat araw ko at wala akong nakikitang magandang dahilan para bumangon at harapin sila.

I am this miserable? Sinisira ko ang buhay ko just because he left me? Is that it? Ha! Ang tanga ko naman talaga.

I still have one month for my own personalized graduation. Home schooled ako so basically, I'll graduate alone while holding my diploma. I wonder if Lucifer would comeback to me once na maging college student na ako?

Bumaba ako to eat a light breakfast. I don't want to face my dad pa kasi he's one of the reason why Lucifer set me free. He thinks he's not yet enough to be my man kasi nga Daddy wants someone who's successful and all! Hindi ko maintindihan!

"Helliona..." mariing tawag ni Papa.

I glanced at him tiredly. He looked good today. Aalis ba sila ni Mommy? Date? Sana all may date!

"Pumapayat ka na. Are you on a diet?"

Tinignan ko ang braso kong medyo pumayat nga.  I don't feel payat naman since I'm not really mataba even before. This is just my normal body, walang naiba.

"I'm not po." tamad kong sabi.

"Is this because of Mr. Sanzenin?"

Napaangat ako ng tingin sa kaniya. Mommy sighed while looking at my reaction. I suddenly became attentive when I heard his name. Ganoon kabilis ang epekto niya sa akin.

"Wala na kami, Daddy..." yumuko ulit ako at nawalan na talaga ng gana kumain.

Why would he bring up this topic? I mean, I'm not trying to move on or what kasi hindi ko 'yon gagawin at wala akong balak kalimutan si Lucifer. He'll always have a place in my heart and I promised to wait for him.

It's just that, hindi ako ayos ngayon. Hearing his name or kahit anong parte ng pangalan niya ay talagang masakit para sa akin. I missed him so bad! So freaking bad na kulang na lang ay puntahan ko siya sa apartment niya ngayon para lang makita ko siya.

"He broke up with you?" gulat niyang tanong at napainom pa sa kaniyang basong may coffee.

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "That's because of you and Syl! Don't you dare deny it, Daddy! He told it straight to my face!"

"Anong pinagsasabi mo riyan, Hell?" iritang sabi ni Daddy na ngayon ay kinakalma ni Mommy. "Ang sinabi ko sa kaniya ay ayusin ang naiwan niyang trabaho bago ka landiin! Aba, siniraan ako nong gagong 'yon?"

Napanganga ako. "Hindi niya ako nilalandi and he's not gago! Come on, stop bad-mouthing Lucifer in front of me!"

"You get your facts straight before ranting about your obsession towards that guy!"

Sa sobrang inis ko ay tumayo na ako at bumalik na lang sa kwarto ko. This is the reason why I don't want to be with my dad for now. He talks as if he didn't do anything to Lucifer! Hindi naman ako iiwanan no'n kung hindi nila binalaan ni Sylvester.

Speaking of Sylvester, he texted me last night saying na he'll throw a party sa house niya tonight. He invited our cousins daw but Devy declined his offer. Sobrang inis siya akala niya naman Devy's affected. She doesn't care kaya!
