Dana holds the scrapbook while Zyona was feeling happy to share her first boyfriend story.

"I was 18 when i had my first boyfriend, I met him in college. I took up marketing and Lawrence M. Villanueva (as Shane West) is in information technology department." ~ Zyona

"ate eh magkaiba kayo course? Paano kayo nagkasama?" with a tone of excitement.

"love moves in mysterious ways girl!"
they both laughed so hard...

" I know were in different area but we have one basic subject that were in and that is cathecism. Yong typical boys sa college they arrived in group na maangas yet shunga" . Zyona laughed as if there is no tomorrow.

" hahaha ate grabe ka! Pero naging kayo naman" ~Dana

Zyona told her " alam mo Dana hindi ko din naman ineexpect yon, kasi my first impression talaga mayabang kasi may mga kotse yon tsaka parang namimili ng friends ng mayayaman kala ko nga yong ganun scenario pang soap ang peg hahaha totoo pala talaga yon "

" relate ako dyan teh! So ano po nangyari..how it goes? I mean when kayo nagkalapit?" ~Dana

" nakikita mo toh picture ng group play namin this is where it all started, i was chosen as a leader sa group eh kulang kami ng 3 kasi mga tropa tropa na magkakasama kasi... dumating late sina lawrence, tj and randy kaya automatically samin sila pina join ng professor namin . Honestly nainis pa ako kasi may feeling ako na they will not cooperate, but surprisingly they are easy to be with and no hassle kausap. Nagbrainstorm kami whats best sa play namin sa cathecism."

"kaninong handwriting ito ate? Infairness detailed ah at ang daming ideas" pointing to the page wherein a yellowpaper attached ~Dana

"yan? Dyan nagsulat si lawrence ng suggestions, materials kita mo naman diba? And siya nag iniate na magjot down . Its been 12 years yan haha lupet noh " ~Zyona

"hilig mo talaga magscrapbook? Meaning sentimental ka... Ang galing memories lives on!" ~Dana

"girl arent you hungry? It's almost noon na kasi? Oh yes i love arts and crafts and by making a scrapbook believe me, one day you'll be thankful for." ~Zyona

" medyo nagugutom na din po. Eh ate isn't holding into the past? Too much to dwell?" ~Dana

" wait i have here box of chocolates later na tayo maglunch/snack ng 3pm bago umuwi. Would that be okay? Are you in a hurry?" ~Zyona

"Uy chocolates! How can i say no? Penge! Ok lang po im not in a hurry besides alam sa bahay gagabihin ako" ~Dana

*They started picking their own choice of chocolate and munching together while Zyona continued telling her story.

"are you sure nagpaalam ka?... Mabalik ako sa sinabi mo na too much to dwell? Not really kasi everything i placed here may happy adventures though magtritrigger to remember the things that are not so good or we should say my heartbreaks mas lamang pa din kasi sa akin na those experiences makes me stronger and be appreciative sa lahat ng mga nangyari or mangyayari palang" ~Zyona

" yup nagsabi po ako. Ang deep ate! Kasi siguro nasa age na mature ka na kaya ganyan ka magsalita" Dana is wondering while eating her 3rd piece of chocolate.

"sa age? Hindi noh, its not about the age its about the experience na hindi mo alam kung ano makukuha mo sa buhay... Parang itong box of chocolates nalito ka ano gusto mo, ano kukunin mo bago mo kainin...ganyan sa love" ~Zyona

" may point ka dun ate! Aww narelate mo pa ito box of chocolates.. Ikaw na! So nalito ka ng dumating si lawrence sa buhay mo? Hindi mo alam kung itatake mo siya?" ~Dana

Zyona smiled at Dana and she thought finally her words of wisdom make sense.

And immediately responded "correct! It came to a point your confused and doubtful sa choices. Kasi nung almost one week kami magkasama ni lawrence sa practice ng play para sa finals namin feeling ko like you nafall ako sa kanya, but ayaw ko ientertain kasi baka good to be true lang siya dahil kagroup ko siya in short makikinabang siya sa grades namin dba. And syempre there is always first time to everything kaya every move nya feeling ko ganito ganyan kilig to the bones...yon bang nagfeeling ka gets mo yon? " Zyona and Dana laughed and does the high five.

" my instinct said iba siya." as Zyona turned the next page of the scrapbook Dana saw the dried petals and a note written by lawrence Zyona thank you for being nice to me, youre such a great leader and smart. I cant wait to get know you more. Lawrence ~ with a heart shape at the end.

*Dana almost pushed Zyona to the lake as she shouted KiLIG! Blushed and cant stop but teased her.

"ihulog kaya kita dana?! Kalma! Nasa first palang tayo" as Zyona smirked.

"sorry naman po never had a chance to have this girl talk kasi, continue ate!" ~Dana

"so i allowed lawrence to get know me, he is family oriented and napaka old school na guy tulad yan may notes and tumatawag sa bahay landline pa noon para ipaalam na pupunta siya and he will showed up sa house na super kabado ako sa father ko kasi baka isipin ang landi ko dba... Anyway heres the receipts of our first date as he courted me and first date as a couple". Zyona showed Dana the length of their dating.

"wow it took him 5 months? Hindi na uso yan ata ngayon ate max na ngayon 2 months taz hiwalay agad hahahaha" ~Dana

"hahaha sira ka talaga! Youre silly! Ang haba ng hair ko ng panahon na yan kasi i was being taken cared of a good man, first time ko mafeel na siya na gusto ko makasama forever! Napaka sweet pinagluluto pa niya family ko nun dinadala niya every weekend. Nakakainspire magaral!

Sarap mainlove, we talked almost everything under the sun. We build our dreams together our future plans. Then i was introduced sa family niya, abot tenga ngiti ko nyan kasi proud siya. They all seem nice decent at seriously mayaman talaga sila para bang sana nageffort ako magayos yong ganun haha..."

"But..." ~ Zyona with a sad face for a few seconds and Dana noticed it..

"you okay ate? But? Anyare?" ~dana felt awkward that it suddenly changed the mood.

"yes im good, naalala eh ...yong masaya ka na biglang may surprise si Lord.

5 months after my parents died due to car accident and I didn't see him for days because that time its our final examination so i understand but then hoping hes with me through those trying times. And then we talked that night, hes saying sorry he cant be at the wake of my parents babawi daw siya the next day kasi patapos na exam.

He asked me "tell me ano na nangyari sa inyo that day?"

I answered "ayon nagaasikaso ng bagay bagay at naghahanap ng money para mafully paid yong pampalibing nila ang hirap na biglaan lahat hindi nakapagprepare..." and bigla akong naiyak kasi in denial kami lahat sa pagkawala ni mom and dad.

Sagot niya sa akin "huwag ka na umiyak i"ll help you, how much ba?"

Zyona added "hindi naman yon i feel so weak. ang hirap i need you sana andito ka."

he responded quickly "don't worry i'll be there tomorrow. hindi nga how much pa ba need?"

Zyona said "30k kasi yong lupa pa cemetery ung pagpapahukay and daming gagawin pa kasi sana makahanap na kami."

Sumagot si lawrence "sige bukas iwithdraw ko bukas sa bank funds ko." Nagulat ako girl kasi im not asking any help im just telling him what we needed so the next morning...- Zyona

"ano nangyari? Nambibitin ka ate wag ganun!" ~'Dana

"haha itsura mo parang aawayin mo naku.. Ito look at this page tissue yan na ginamit ko when i cried not because of my parents its because of him... Kasi he informed me he cannot withdraw the money, his mom stopped him. So ok lang yon walang problema... I'm not asking nor expecting anything from him. No issue at all sa akin. swear to God!" ~Zyona

"eh saan doon yong naiyak ka? Kung hindi issue yong epic fail na offered help nya... Ahhm Na appreciate mo help nya kahit sablay? Yon ba? ~

"hindi..." Zyona answered with a bit mad face.

" kasi his mom tooked the phone that time when we were talking and angrily said to me user ka! Scammer ka ba? Bkit inuutusan mo iwithdraw pera niya? Mahiya ka naman, kayo maghanap ng kelangan niyo huwag niyo idadamay anak ko.!"

I was so shocked, numbed and offended so much. And the call ended...

"what the f?! Sinabi yon? Hindi ka tinawagan ulit ni lawrence?.. Damn! Aww sorry ate.." ~Dana

"nope... He never called until my parents interment... That's an insult girl! Masakit mawalan ng magulang ng sabay pero yong dagdagan pa na mangagamit at hindi ka man lang pinangtangol na akala mong mahal ka?... Aray! Alam mo kung uso n fb nun nagstatus ako na feeling broken." ~Zyona

Dana hold Zyona's hand and said "resbakan natin! Hindi ko akalain matapobre does exist?.. Bakit hindi man lang kumibo si lawrence. Grrrrr!"

"I received a call next day it was lawrence.he wants to see me, so i stay positive that he will explain everything mahal ko eh. Kaso may catch when i arrived sa meeting place." ~Zyona

"ano ito resibo ng jolibee? Doon kayo nagmeet up hahaha kumaen ka pa talaga ate? ~Dana

"stress eating hindi pwede? haha. Ayon kasama niya mom niya. Lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko noon parang gusto ko ng umalis kaso andun na panindigan na. Lawrence said im with mama and then her mama stood up sabi niya condolence pero hindi tama ginawa mo manghingi ng pera kay lawrence u should both stop this. Hindi ako nakasalita girl! Nanginginig at naluluha ako to think andun sa harap ko si lawrence hindi man lang nagsalita. I tried sumagot sabi ko hindi po ako humingi or nanghiram tanungin niyo si lawrence. And he is just staring at me yong gusto mo magmura at magwala na magsalita ka naman. Her mom dragged him and final message was... your not worth my son's love." Zyona got teary and pulled it back.

"ang bigat! Ang tindi! Ang sakit! Nagrieve ka sa parents noon ate tapos may mangaalipusta sayo in public at walang balls pala yan lawrence na yan! Nakaka high blood. " ~Dana hugged Zyona.

"hay life, ganun talaga. Sa box na ito thats a dark chocolate. wala na yon tapos na. But i must admit ang lalim ng scar s puso ko parang gumuho mundo ko. 3 years ko dinala yon mga nangyari...nakakapanghina!

But wait theres more...

I survived!

And until someone came... " Zyona smiled with a twinkled eyes.

*phone rings....
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late...

"seriously Dana? One republic yong song hahaha nkakaloka!" ~Zyona

"hahaha paano kung magapologize siya after all these years? Nagmissed call lang kuya ko mangungulit lang yon..." ~Dana

"ewan ko! never pumasok sa mind ko yan eh. I have no idea! who you siya sa akin!!!!!" ~Zyona

" eh yong until someone came! Kwento pa more please we still have 1 1/2 hours left before we leave. At mauubos ko na toh chocolates mo" ~Dana
