Apat na araw na ang lumipas. Masyadong busy sa school. Examinations na ngayong week. What's more stressful is that I don't usually see Julius around anymore. When I text him, he just says he's busy. Iniintindi ko na lang kasi busy talaga ngayon. Hectic ang sched naming law students. Pero hindi naman ako tanga para hindi mapansin na iniiwasan niya ako.

Last day ng exams namin ngayon. And I am so happy after the last period.

Alam niyo yung pakiramdam na parang nakawala ka sa lungga mong sakit sa ulo pagkatapos ng exams? Ganun yung feeling ko!

"Kain tayo today? KKB. Samgyupsal?" Tanong ni Pat habang naglalakad kami palabas ng room.

Agad akong ngumisi. "Game!"

"I'm in!" Sabi naman ni Zarena.

As it was decided, we ate on a korean restaurant, had some stories to tell, comment and complaints to bring up, until we called the shots and decided to go and have fun on a bar.

Napatitig ako sa phone ko nang may nag-pop up na notification.

My eyes widened with what I saw. It was a post of our deparment's student Vice President, Jaylene. And she was hugging a man. The man I like... si Julius.

"What the hell?"

Binasa ko ang caption. 'It was fun going out with you, @JuliusOrega ☺️. Hoping for a next time! '

Umirap ako sa nakita at tinitigan ang mukha ni Julius sa litrato niya. "This scumbag... he looks like he enjoyed it!" Nag-pop sa notif ko kasi naka-tag si Julius.

Kaya pala masyado raw siyang busy! May kinikita naman palang iba!

I felt a little pang of pain knocking down my chest. It was as of this moment that I realized he's been ignoring me for 4 days straight just because of another girl.

I got pissed. At nasaktan ako. Kaya hinanap ko ang pangalan ni Julius at nag-text sa kanya.

To Julius Baby:
Tapos na exams. Busy ka pa rin ba?

Hindi naman nagtagal ay nag-reply agad siya. Akala ko magi-isang taon ulit saka siya sasagot. Note the sarcasm!

Julius Baby:
Lumabas ako kasama mga kaibigan ko. Nag-aya silang mag-bar. Ikaw?

Bar? Akala ko ba di siya nagba-bar? Well, baka pinilit rin siya gaya ng ginawa ko sa kanya noon.

To Julius Baby:
Nasa bahay na ako. What bar?

I lied. I just wanted to know which bar. I want to surprise him.

From Julius Baby:
Dito sa dating pinuntahan natin.

Hindi na ako nag-reply pa. It was good kasi doon din punta namin nila Za.

Pagpasok at pagpasok namin sa loob ng bar, amoy agad ng sigarilyo at alak ang nanuot sa ilong namin. I saw Zarena grimace. "Okay ka lang? Walang magagalit kung pupunta ka rito?" I asked her, referring to the Captain. Baka ako pa sisihin non at pagalitan kapag may nangyaring masama kay Za. That man is absolutely scary!
