Way back 2009 this is the time wherein online chatting is at its peak, whether its your old time friends or new found friends getting in touch is easy. Through the internet Zyona found her 2nd boyfriend and it didnt came to her mind to fall for someone she havent seen personally.

One time Zyona made a fake account in yahoo messenger actually the picture she posted is not her but the personal information is herself. She's not looking forward to mingle eventhough shes available but simply to try this online chatting out of curiosity. Her two best friends Auery was busy with her new job in makati and boyfriend as well. On the other hand, Chincy went to dubai for a career move and shes having hard time with their time difference to talk as often. And Zyona felt like during this time she needs friends to talk to but she doesnt want to disturb her bff's not even her siblings.

" Dana heres the printed screenshot of my yahoo messnger fake account. It's first week of February around 9 in the morning when i decided to use my ym and chat with those anonymous online chatters..." ~Zyona

"hahaha ate Zyona the girl in the picture is pretty and hot where did u get that?" ~Dana amazed with what she saw in the scrapbook.

"random searching girl! Haha I key in my name and it showed up so i grabbed it. I have no intention to deepen any relationship online so for me its purely fun and major trustworthy issue. Baka mamaya pakitang tao nanaman, ok sa harap mo tapos pag ano ang dami pangit na iniisip sayo..." ~Zyona

"hahaha hugot pa more? Sabagay nevertheless its still fake means lie" ~Dana overwhelmed with Zyona.

"ikr! Parang yang last piece of chocolate na kakainin mo bittersweet ang story na ito." ~Zyona smiled and snap her finger.

"bittersweet? Naks bakit mo nasabi?" ~Dana looked closer the page of the scrapbook

"bitter because I pretended with how I look like and sweet because ill eat my words later on... So let me continue, I joined a chat room since there is a lot i chose the Asian section. And I'm not use to the abbreviated words back then like asl age sex location hahaha and i got a lot of pop up messages asking that and most of them were from saudi, pakistan or india. No offence girl they are very aggressive and somehow naughty so I'm ignoring their messages once i knew where are they located. And its already late afternoon when a message barged in... Finally a pinoy so na excite ako no language barrier.~ Zyona

"pinoy from switzerland? Naguluhan ako sa screenshot ng convo niyo" ~Dana confused.

"an OFW but hes pure pinoy, hes funny and were both surprised that chatting is just a past time nakarelate ako kasi busy din daw friends niya and family niya is may kanya kanyang ginagawa. Magaan feeling ko sa kanya yong feeling na pag may nameet kang bagong classmate at nagjive na lang kayo" ~Zyona showed a sweet smile while showing to Dana the picture of the guy.

"hes attractive, akalain mo yon? As in chat lang kayo? No webcam?" ~Dana giggles .

* Zyona turned the next page and had her evil laughed.

" nabasa mo ba? Hahaha ang dami kong reasons that i can't show myself, I told him were not allowed to use webcam at work and during weekends i'm not online because we don't have internet at home which is actually true.

He asks my number and gave his too. Eh naweirduhan nga ako bakit binigay niya sa kanya and asked mine eh past time nga dba ang online chatting, but i gave it kasi i know na he wouldnt make an effort to call or text me because that's expensive. " ~Zyona proudly told her.

"did you asked him why did u get my number? Hala ate gaano kayo katagal nagchat bago naging kayo? ~Dana insisted.

"may taxi girl? Nagmamadali! naguumpisa palang tayo. kalma sabi sayo eh."~ Zyona rolled her eyes.

"It became a habit from monday to friday we talked after lunch for almost a month , we shared our everyday happenings and one time i got sick. I wasnt able to go online. I received a call and wondering who the hell is this number? Hindi ko sinagot but ang eager tawag ng tawag I answered it on the third time my phone rang.

Syempre hello ang bungad haha sabi ko agad "sino ka?" Sumagot siya na "hindi ako sinuka inere ako.. "

And I laughed I even said "gago! haha sino nga ito?" he answered "Ka chat mo from switzerland, username swisspinoy14 my real name is Vincent B. Atanacio (as Alex Pettyfer)."

Kumabog yong dibdib ko girl i dont know why... So true nga un meme sa fb magbabago mood once may bigla nagtext or tumawag sa iyo unexpectedly..." ~Zyona

"aaayyyyiieeee, umeffort namiss ka! Nagworry si swisspinoy14"~ Dana laughed sarcastically.

"pumasok nga sa isip ko yan! Zyona and Dana fist bumped.

Kaso i remembered yong picture ko magexpect na magpapakita ako sa webcam dahil for the first time narinig na niya voice ko at hindi sa ym directly to my cp na. Napraning ako girl so sabi ko agad mahal na ito i need to rest, he said ok take care and restwell with a sad voice. Naguilty ako kasi hindi man lang ako nag thank you.

Next day nakapagonline ako and ang dami na niyang messages dami concern sa akin, nafeel ko yong care niya. Sakto active na siya alam mo yong parang tatay na sobrang maniguro ayos ka... I felt at ease and hindi ito basta kachat lang friend na talaga turing niya sa akin.

He started sharing his family picture and his life stories alam mo nafeel ko?" ~Zyona bombarding Dana to answer quickly.

"kinilig? Nabored? Not interested?... Ano!" ~Dana

"wala sa sinabi mo... Ano ba yan...!

Nafeel ko napaka loving naman na tao na ito he doesn't deserve my fake picture.

Gusto ko na ireveal kaso im scared na baka may masamang sabihin eh may trauma na ako dun. As the chat ends sabi niya "papakita ka na ba sa akin sa cam hindi ka ba pwede maginternet shop pag weekend?" Sabi ko "i cant promise, may chores kasi ako sa bahay or lakad" so I immediately turned the convo to him "eh ikaw why dont you show yourself on cam? "

Sagot niya "unfair" tapos siya daw wala makikita... Lalo ako kinabahan na i should do the right thing para wala na siyang asahan na hindi ko face iyon. Buti nalang nag bye na siya kasi may pupuntahan pa siya" ~Zyona felt anxious on how Dana would react later.

"nadedevelop na kayo niyan ate noh? Kasi concern ka na rin sa iisipin niya"~ Dana tickles Zyona on her left tummy.

"hahaha siguro, kasi siya kausap mo everyday halos alam na nangyayari sayo and vice versa..."

After 2 hours he called, nataranta ako girl! Sabi ko sa sarili ko kala ko ba may lakad ito , sabi ko agad "huwag ka ng tatawag magastos yan dba? Ok ka lang ba?" I dont know why ko tinanong yon hahaha. Sabe nya "andito ako sa park nagrocery lang ako eh bago umuwi gusto ko marinig boses mo habang naglalakad."

Eh dun ako kinilig kasi indeed effort yon at rinig ko sa background mga tao at ung hingal niya paakyat sa pad niya hahaha nafeel ko im not alone with him.

After so many weeks after chat tatawag naman siya literally he started his day with me and ends my day with him... "~ Zyona blushed as if it happened today.

"tinamaan na nga hahaha ang taray imaginin mo nalang yong call expenses niya everyday gumagastos siya sayo kahit nakapagchat naman na kayo"~ Dana wishes she would feel the same way one day.

"one morning dahil alam kong iba na ito nafefeel ko sasabihin ko na yon totoo, naginternet shop ako and i made a long explaination about my revelation and sent it to him kahit hindi pa siya online, so super nervous, anxious yong feeling.

Then i got a message from him sabi niya "thank you and show me your true face, hindi ako judgemental even I, have some wrong doings din."

I answered "nakakahiya kasi itsura ko sobrang ang layo sa hot girl na yan sa picture." At nagulat ako naginvite siya ng call so naguusap kami wala akong nafeel na galit siya or anything so natuwa ako... Then the twist came... " ~Zyona

"may twist pa yon? Wala akong maisip. Reveal mo na!" ~Dana eagered to know

"he said will you forgive me if i say I did the same way?"

Zyona said "what do you mean?"

Vincent revealed and said that " the picture you saw its not me. I pretended! it wasn't me... My bad! Im sorry"

"whoaaah hahahaha true story ito ate di ba? How ironic!" ~Dana got frantic about the side of that story.

"medyo nafrustrate ako ah hahaha pero sa attitude naman niya ako nadevelop girl...

so i said to him " lets have a video chat. Ready ka ba?"

Sumagot siya "basta walang magwalk out or biglaan offline pag nakita moko"

sabi ko naman "nye baka ikaw never mo na ako kausapin".

Moments later, video camera showed. Vincent caught Zyona smiling and brushing her hair.

" why do you have to hide to that beautiful smile of yours?"

nagulat ako nakikita na pala niya ako so i just froze hahahaha and when i looked at him sabi ko sa sarili ko" siya na yan?" Eh may itsura naman pala eh chinito pa nga.

Nagtawanan lang kami and continued talking walang hang ups"~ Zyona

"sabi sayo ganda ng smile mo ate and wait ang camshot ni Vincent. Looking at the picture closely in the scrapbook.. "Infairness pwede!" ~ Dana

"sana naging smile nalang ako? Lol itsurang hindi inakala nakuha pang maghide ng face nya eh noh." ~Zyona

"naging kayo ate ng may 7? Hanep sa doodles sa ym ah." ~Dana pinching her cheeks

"yes obvious naman sa naka paste dyan, hahaha lahat ng features ng ym nagamit na namin. Yong nakita mo siya at narinig na sabahin na love nya ako kung pwede lang magtatalon pero I compose myself and sabi ko brb lang ako pero huwag ka I screamed and jumped sa cr na mutual pala talaga feelings namin."~Zyona

"hahaha i feel you if ako yan gumulong pa ako ate! Tapos ano next?" ~Dana

"Zyona uuwi ako ng pinas. I'll be coming home soon gusto na kita makita!" yan ang sabi ni Vincent. Naexcite ako sa sinabi niya and I asked him "kelan? I can't wait to be with you"

"early next year pa, wait for me" Vincent responded. And told him "kung maka soon ka naman half a year pa yon!"

"I don't want to think na matagal pa pagkikita natin something to look forward to" Vincent added.

Within 6 months they never fail to communicate this is so called LDR. both of them were excited on their video chat routine everyday. They never encountered any major problems just a few petty fights.

"December na! One month nalang magkasama na tayo " emphasizing to Dana the captured ym convo.

While im talking to him over the phone i heard her aunt and said "sino ba yan kausap mo? kanina ka pa dyan!"

Vincent shouted "Tita asawa ko huwag kang magulo." sa isip ko "aber asawa na ako" eh kilig yon...

But at the same time i told him..."bakit hindi nagreact violently tita mo"

sagot ni Vincent sa akin "ayaw mo nun tanggap ka na agad sa family"

I smiled and kissed him sounds nga lang as in mmmwwaaaahhh. Hahaha ang jologs!"

"hahaha ate ang baduy pala talaga pag inlove lalo kayo na... Kadiri na rin minsan #bitter" ~Dana cant stop laughing.

Friday morning, I'm worried why hes not calling me yet after work, dapat nasa house na siya that time. super worried baka may nangyari for the first time i bought prepaid card for international calls and called him right away...

he answered nagulat pa nga siya he said
" hello who's this?" i answered with a sigh of relief " si Zyona ito, love what happened to you? where you at?"

Vincent said " sorry love i forgot to call kasi im having a second job para madami ipon hindi ko nasabi sorry"

Zyona answered in a questionable manner "ha? 2nd job baka sumobra yaman mo niyan, but seriously kaya mo pa ba yan shift na yan?"

Vincent responded in a sweet voice " I'm good! surprise kasi ko ito sa iyo, but tumawag ka na balak ko kasi once nakaipon mag tour ka dito kaya nag second job ako, hindi ko sadya magworry ka"

Zyona reacted quickly " weh? you dont have to do that, i think mahal magtour dyan and uuwi ka naman dito makikita naman kita so saka na yan madami pa naman time to that"

Vincent added " eh para mas maaga maraming ipon"

kinilig nanaman ako girl kasi wow napaka responsible naman ng tao ito and napakagenerous.

Dana replied happily "shoot ate! love ko na siya ah. rare na ngayon yan kasi kkb na ang peg pag nagtour hahaha"

Zyona reacted in a cranky voice "love mo siya? teka patapos na ako lets see if you still going to love him."

Dana reminded Zyona "ate malapit na mag 3 pm dalian mo na we have to walk pa madilim pa naman dito pag hapon na."

Zyona said " okay aware naman ako sa time... so dumating na nga yong araw na uuwi na siya dito sa Philippines" alam mo yong butterfly in the stomach ganun na ganun...

sabi niya magkita kami airport... 3 hours after his last message. the plane has arrived... super happy when i saw him

he did kissed me in the forehead parang wow gentleman pero i find it really sweet. then he told me " I bought new sim card so i can get in touch with you nakasave naman number mo but ako kokontak sayo ah kasi manghihiram lang ako phone sa kamag-anak ko hantayin mo lang ako tumawag or magtext means hawak ko yong phone." I totally understand kasi kahit yong tito ko before ganun din ginawa eh paguuwi siya dito sa pinas.

sabi niya rin nag plan siya ng eyeball sa mga friends namin online join daw kami so sabe ko "oo why not "

sabi niya " swimming yon. "

he added "samahan mo ako sa poea ayusin ko lang documents ko para wala ng problema magkita nalang daw kami don tatawag daw siya" naghiwalay kami kasi uuwi pa siya batangas so sumakay na din ako pauwi since magkikita naman kami the day after tomorrow kahit gusto ko pa siya kasama.

so I patiently waited for the day to come kasi for sure date na rin namin yong pag aasikaso ng papers niya.

Dana asked "tumawag naman ate?

Ofcourse! Sabi niya dumating ako ng 2pm so I arrived there sinalubong niya ako sabi niya "tapos na ako lets eat"

Sagot ko sakanya "ha? at kanina ka pa dito?

He answered "yes! gusto ko kasi pag dating mo hindi kana maiinip so lets have a date."

Zyona happily said game!" Its a date then"natuwa naman ako na inisip pa niya na maiinip ako if i arrived early sa pagpila sa poea.

So we ate in a restaurant inside the mall we talked mga plans niya dito and tinanong ko ulit when yong eyeball swimming party sabe niya " saturday na sa batangas din overnight yon."

I said "ok lang inform ko nalang sa bahay".

Then we watched a movie twilight pa yon hahaha. and alam ko minor ka pa pero we did kissed passionately there and nagulat ako sa binulong niya if i want to go to motel daw.

na off ako konti sabi ko "ayaw ko that thing hinahantay yan," hindi naman siya nagalit nor nabadtrip instead we continued watching while his arms surrounds me.

As the night ends he gave me money sabi niya "pangastos natin yan sa overnight swimming and pamashe mo kasi doon na kita imeet ok lang ba yon? or ask mo sila carlo para kasabay mo yong iba".

as usual naghiwalay ulit kami sa sakayan but he made sure i have a ride na before he left. walang akong doubt na I found mature guy that night...

When I arrived home I contacted some of our friends online kung san sila sasakay pa batangas at sasabay ako naginternet ako sa kapitbahay and nireveal nila sa akin na si Vincent nagbayad ng venue sabi ko "ahh kaya pala don din sa batangas malapit sakanya nag request pa nga ng food. "

sabi ni Carlo (as Dave Franco) yong friend namin online, "bakit nagkausap na kayo ni Vincent? nagkita na kayo?"

sabe ko he called but I denied na nagkita na kami kasi ayaw ko naman isipin nila na nauna pa ako kasi ang alam ko hindi sila aware na kami unless nakwento ni Vincent.

Saturday morning I prepared my things and yong food request ni Vincent na spicy adobo. Sumabay ako kina Carlo nagmeet kami sa Cubao, I felt anxious kasi pag magkakasama na kami how would I act.

after 2 hours nasa gas station na kami sa lemery kasi doon kikitain si Vincent.

I have all the smile when i saw him standing and approaching us... He started to introduce himself with everybody at kahit sa akin natawa nga ako eh hahaha parang role play lol.

I'm very excited nang biglang...

"Guys! Listen I can't join the swimming, magenjoy kayo dun guys ah bayad naman yon. May lakad pa kami ng pamilya ko" ni hindi man lang siya tumitingin sa akin so i guess act lang niya yon??? or may plan siyang iba. I dont even notice nung sinabi niyang "pamilya ko" ...

Carlo asked "bakit pare? hindi ka nakapagpaalam kay misis?"

At the back of my mind "ha? huh? ano daw? tama ba narinig ko ako ba tinutukoy niya? hindi ako kumikibo at lumayo lang nakatanga lang sa bench habang ng cr yong iba.

sabi ni Carlo "ooyy Zyona ok lang?
hindi pa din ako kumibo. "usap tayo mamaya sa venue" Carlo added...

sabe ko "ha? bakit anong meron?"

nagpaalam na si Vincent at tulala ako ng hindi ko naintindihan. At hindi niya ako kinausap about that matter!

he simply said "Zyona enjoy ka dun ah."

Girl! para akong tanga inabot ko pa yong spicy adobo and sabi niya "sa inyo na yan" sabay layo at sumakay sa motor niya.

Dana closed the scrapbook and stared at Zyona... "ate???? may asawa si Vincent? hindi niya pinaalam sayo? o alam mo? kabit ang peg mo ate! hala ka!"

Zyona's cranky response "gaga! Matutulala ba ako noon if i knew it?! hindi ko alam! kaya nga confused and nagulantang ako...kung paano ako nanghina dati bigla dumaloy sa katawan ko ng oras na yon"

pagdating sa venue napuna pa din ni Carlo na and sad ko na hindi maintindihan mukha ko sabi ko sakanya "don't bother" yong friends nag aayos sa pool area at nasa room yong iba at umakyat ako s terrace sumunod si Carlo.

Carlo talked seriously "hindi mo ba alam na may asawa si Vincent? at kakapanganak lang ng baby niya kaya umuwi siya?"

nadurog puso ko girl!

Carlo added "napapansin ko sa group chat natin ang sweet niyo kaso iniisip ko nalang baka asaran lang yon, pero nung nakita ko reaction mo kanina nagets ko na".

I told Carlo while im holding back my tears "kami ni vincent 9 months na, I never doubted him we talked almost 24/7 and he puts a lot of efforts to get in touch and made me feel na hindi siya malayo. He's consistent"

Carlo shared "patay tayo dyan! kasi nung nagkakwentuhan kami ayaw niya daw maabala asawa niya kasi nga buntis so hindi niya pinupuyat kapag kausap kasi meselan basta makausap niya once a day ok na, kaya daw siya nagchat kasi nahohome sick at feeling niya kasi kahit masaya na buntis si misis syempre inuuna niya si baby alam mo naman magkaiba ng time zone gusto ko may nakakausap."

Zyona Cried so hard "shit! all the while i thought ako lang and worst pamilyadong tao siya. kaya pala ng sinigaw niya sa tita niya na asawa kausap niya kahit ako yon hindi kumibo! nagfeeling naman ako dun. and nagkita na kami the other day nagdate pa nga kami buti wala nangyri sa amin, kaya pala hantayin ko lang daw call or texts niya at kaya pla may double job siya para sa anak niya.. PAST TIME LANG TALAGA AKO! gusto ko na umuwi carlo! hindi ko kaya magsaya. pasensya na"

Carlo suggested "gabi na zyona uuwi na rin naman tayo bukas maaga im not saying magenjoy ka dahil mabigat yong nalaman mo pero divert your emotion muna. kalimutan mo muna tonight."

"I dont think so, ok ill stay pero hayaan mo nalang ako dito" ~Zyona

"sige pag may kailangan ka baba ka lang" Carlo decided to go down and bond with the others and let Zyona be alone.

Zyona wants to call Vincent but she can't.

"bakit naman you can't?" Dana asked.

"ayaw ko ng gulo girl, may asawa nga di ba? At hindi naman ako desperate na habulin siya. ang sa akin lang ipaliwanag niya sa akin ang ginawa niya, I deserve the truth. I invested my time and emotions ko sa kanya tapos other woman lang pala ako!" Zyona reacts defensively.

I fast phase na natin girl nakauwi na ako bahay from batangas since then wala na ako narinig mula kay Vincent kahit hangang ngayon I iust wished masaya na siya sa family niya.

Dana asked "ate bakit hindi ka na naiyak ngayon? Hindi tulad yong unang kwento mo?"

"ewan ko din siguro mas acceptable kasi kung bakit niya ako iniwan.. Oh ano stand up na! lakad na tayo... may naiwan pa sa chocolates ko hindi mo pa inubos!" Zyona rushed to the path way to the street.

"ate may utang ka pa 2 story sa akin at hope to see you next weekend" ~Dana

*** phone rings... It's Chincy

Love me like you do, lolove me like you do what are you waiting for....

"Hanep sa ringtobe haha darating din happy ever after mo ate!"

"ssshhhh! Hello girl! Paalis pa lang ako eh, ha? Nasa tagaytay ka? uuwi na lang ako. Take care!" ~Zyona response to her bff.

"sino yon ate? My lakad ka pa?"~ Dana asked Curiously.

Zyona's response "Bff ko yon dapat may dinner kami tonight sa sobrang bored abay nasa tagatay na hahaha ayaw ko sumunod dun darating ako uuwi na din no way!"

Zyona added.."Thank you girl for this day nagkaroon ako ng instant sissy! Halika mag late lunch tayo..."

"Welcome po super thank you kasi sharing your stories are eye opening and mind buggling haha" Dana laughed

Dana received a text from his brother Daryl (as James Lafferty). "Saan ka na? Sabay na tayo daanan kita dyan sa lake"

"ok kuya im here na sa kalsada waiting..."~Dana replied

"May sundo ka?" ~Zyona

"Yes po kaso motor yon ate hindi kita maisasabay at i can't join you for late lunch." ~Dana

"Ano ka ba wala iyon... Hantayin ko nalang sundo mo then saka ako sasakay". ~ Zyona

"No ate pag may dumaan na jeep sumakay kana mahirap kaya mag abang dito atleast si kuya parating na..." ~Dana

"Are you sure? Ok. Add nga kita fb girl!" ~Zyona

Dana borrowed Zyona's phone and key in her e-mail so she can add her up.

"Ayan may jeep na oh girl mauna na ako ah, keep in touch... tell your brother drive safely!" ~Zyona

Ingat po! ~Dana

*Motorycle brakes screeched...

~Daryl approached Dana "oist bunso sakay na sino yong kasama mong sumakay ng jeep?"

"Si ate Zyona po...drive safely sabi niya." ~Dana

Zyona????!........
