"any ways I'm not here for you, I'm here for his mom" She fiercely said.

"pwede ba wag ka ng mag panggap, alam naman natin kung ano talaga ang dahilan kung bakit ka nandito" she said with irritating voice.

"Yun naman pala e" Selestyna laughed at her face and about to leave.

"how dare you!" she's about to slap her but she stop her hand.

"yes of course nak. you have the rights to be here because I invited you and also, without your help before baka hindi tayo gaano kilala" she thankfully said while looking at Selestyna.

Amee rolled her eyes.

"oh anyways congratulations Zilian" lumapit si Selestyna kay Zilian. parehong nag katinginan ang dalawa kayat lumapit pa lalo si Selestyna upang bumeso. hinayaan na lamang bumeso ni Zilian ito.

"it's been a while, do you still hate me?" she whispered to him before she separated.

"yes me too. it's been a while since we met. nice to see you again" she said with a smile.

"so how are you? I've never heard about you since you and my brother got divorced" he said.

"well I took a break on showbiz for 3 yrs to stay away from all those negative people" she answered

"Ang dami kasing taong naniwala kaagada sa issues ko noon" parinig nito and then she sarcastically laughed.

"oh sorry to hear that" he replied

"well no worries I'm here now to clear my name after being silence for 3 yrs" she said with a smile on her lips then she took a sip of wine

"excuse myself" Zilian announced to them na naririto sa table upang makipag halubilo sa mga bisita.

agad na hinawakan ni Selestyna ang braso ni Zilian bago ito umalis sa tabi niya. nag katinginan sila habang ang mga mata ni Selestyna ay may pang aakit.

sinamaan ni Zilian ang tingin nito sa kamay ni Selestyna na nakahawak sa kanya bago niya ito tignan sa mga mata.

napansin iyon ni Amee kayat mas naalarma pa ito.

"but Hindi ba masyadong sensitive para kay Zilian na pumunta ka pa rito?" singit ni Amee na nasa right side ni Zilian

Hindi parin maalis ang tinginan ng dalawa.

"well I'm not here for you.. I'm here for mama Emelita" sagot naman nito kay Zilian habang naka ngiti

inalis kaagad ni Zilian ang kamay nito sa braso niya upang umalis sa pwesto nila.

si mama Emelita naman ay kinakausap ang ilang mga bisita kayat sila Sila lamang ang natira sa table na ito.

sinamaan kaagad siya ng tingin ni Amee at lumapit ito rito

"umalis kana" utos ni Amee kay Selestyna

"why would I? mama Emelita invited me here. Ikaw nga ang dapat umalis"

"because you are not belong here" diing sagot pa ni Selestyna kay Amee

"I'm his wife!" dikta muli ni Amee habang humihigpit ang kamao niya na nag pipigil ng galit.

mas lumapit pa si Selestyna at naging seryoso ang mukha

it's all for the responsibility, Amee. he will never loves you" mas pinagalit pa niya Lalo si Amee sa sinabi nito.

naka ngiti niyang pinag masdan ang galit na galit na si Amee.

"how dare you!!" sasampalin na sana siya ni Amee ngunit napigilan niya ang kamay nito.

kayat mas nag pumiglas so Amee para maalis ang kamay ni Selestyna sa kamay niya.

some of the guest were shocked after witnessing Amee about to slap her.

"what's going here?!" tanong ni mama Emelita kay amee.

agad na binitawan ni Selestyna si Amee upang huminto ito.

"oh it's nothing po" pekeng ngiti ni Amee.

"wag na wag mong sisirain ang gabing ito Amee tandaan mo" pag babanta ni mama Emelita kay amee kayat natimlop ito at umalis.

"are you ok nak?" tanong ni mama Emelita kay Selestyna

"I'm fine po no worries" sagot nito upang mapanatag ang matanda Saka na nakipag halubilo ito sa ibang bisita. ganoon din ang ilang nakakita.

"sorry guys excuse us" she said then followed him outside the building

"Zilian I'm really really sorry, I didn't expect na haharap ka kaagad kaya ayun na sagi moko" she fake explained habang sinusundan sa parking lot.

Hindi ito pinansin ni Zilian at tuloy tuloy lamang siya sa pag lalakad.

"huy are you mad?" tanong ni Selestyna.

sa sobrang inis ni Zilian ay nahinto ito sa pag lalakad at hinarap siya nito.

mahigpit niyang hinawakan ang kamay ni Selestyna at hinila ito sa Isang sulok ng parking lot habang abala ang lahat sa loob

madilim ang tingin nito sa babae.

"what the f*CK are you planning to do? to ruin this party?!" inis na tanong ni Zilian habang pilit kinakalas ni Selestyna ang kamay ni Zilian sa kanya dahil sa sobrang higpit.

"why? ayaw mo ba akong nandito?" sarkastikong ngiti at sagot nito rito.
