PROLOGUE
512 Words
She just recently finished taking the most hurdled exam in their country; the Lawyer’s Bar Examination. For a year, she focused on reviewing, oblivious of everything around her.
It’s now time to celebrate with Jethross, his boyfriend for almost three years already. She has so many lapses in their relationship during the time that she was reviewing for this BAR Examination.
While sitting now at the driver’s seat of her blue, old Toyota corolla, she heard the ringing of her mobile phone. It was her friend Sarah.
“Hey friend, what’s up? I just finished the exam now. I waned to jump! I am free at last hahaha. I will be going to Jethross to invite him for a celebration. You know, I need to make up things for him.” Happily, Yhera blurted out to her friend, who just kept her silence on the other phone.
“Yher, can we see each other first before you meet Jethross? It is quite urgent.” Sarah’s voice faltered.
“Sarah, are you crying? Hey, hey, where are you, I will be there, alright? Hang-on.” Immediately, she started her car’s ignition upon knowing where Sarah was.
She directly went to Sarah’s house, per her instruction. Sarah’s maid told her that Sarah was sitting at their pool side.
When Sarah saw her, she suddenly ran and hugged her tightly.
Yhera was so surprised. “What’s going on friend?”
“Yhera, please take this lightly. I need to tell you something.”Sarah scrolled something in her mobile phone and then showed it to Yhera.
Yhera’s eyes narrowed upon seeing some pictures. She could not fathom yet, what these pictures were all about. She looked at Sarah with confusion.
“Yhera, Jethross got married three days ago. I learned about it two days ago. I am sorry, I did not tell you right away because I want you to focus on your review and exam.” Sarah held Yhera’s hands and looked at her with full of sadness in her eyes.
“No, no, that is not true Sarah. He just called days ago to tell me good luck on my exam and that he loves me.” Yhera’s tears were flowing like rivulets. How could it be? Jethross loves her so much and she loves him too in return.
Sarah hugged her best friend tightly hoping to ease the pain she was feeling at that very moment.
“Sarah, how can Jethross do this to me? He lied to me! He cheated me! Damn him! Damn him.” And Yhera’s cries can be heard all throughout the premises of Sarah’s house. Slowly, she slumped on the ground together with Sarah who was crying too.
Yhera’s heart was so painful. Her whole mind was numb and she felt her world crumbled down.
At that point, Yhera sworn she will never trust any man again.
