I was in shock when I found out that my friend is dating this guy sa isang dating app na dinedate din ako.

I know mali na makialam ng phone lalo na pag hindi mo pa naman totally kilala yung person. So, here’s what happened. Nasa resto kami talking and planning on taking a 3-days vacay sa Batangas next month. Then, he told me na pupunta lang siya sa restroom saglit. He left his phone unlocked and his bag. Then his phone received a notif and napatingin ako and I saw a familiar name. My heart started to beat faster and I felt something na hindi okay. For some reason, I grabbed the phone and checked the message. I browsed and I saw a photo of my friend with him sa isang motmot together. I even saw a message na “please don’t tell my friend about this. I really like you and I want you to be my partner and I’m dead serious about it!” Those are the exact message na sinend ng friend ko sa ka-date ko. I even took a screenshot and send it sa messenger ko. After that, I saved the screenshot then deleted the message para hindi naman obvious. May option sa messenger na to mark as unread para walang bahid na chineck ko yung phone niya. Binalik ko yung phone niya sa dating pwesto and I grabbed my phone and was checking for messages.

He returned and checked his phone asap. He was smiling while reading the message and I know na binabasa niya yung message ni friend. I told him nalang na I’m not feeling well and I just want to go home and rest. Then he told me na to stay for a while as he will buy me meds. I insisted and he offered to drive me home. I just told him na mag grab nalang ako. So, nag book na ako ng grab then he waited for the car to arrive.

Cubao area na when I received a notification sa gc naming mga friends and itong si friend nag message na he’s going out on a date with this fabulous guy. Tbh nanginig talaga ako sa galit. So, what I did was I temporarily deleted the messenger and fb app sa phone ko para lang mapakalma ko sarili ko. 11pm na after taking a bath, my ka-date was calling me. I did not answer the phone. He started sending me messages if I’m okay, bakit hindi ako reachable sa messenger, if there’s something wrong ba or what. I just replied. “I just woke up. Sorry medyo groggy pa ako sa meds. Talk to you tomorrow nalang.”

The following day, I decided not to install messenger and fb muna and just continue with the other app. So I browsed on instagram and checked my friends profile. Saw another photo of them together sa moa. Pinusuan ko nalang mga sis kase naiirita na ako sa kanya. Then after an hour, wala na yung photo.

My ka-date was calling me but I was not answering. I just sent a message sa instagram to my friend and sent the screenshot to him and told him “kung patay na patay ka nang magkajowa, ayan! Sayo na.”

Then I saw that my friend viewed my message and i started to delete the app narin.

Si ka-date was still calling me and all but dinedema ko na. Ayoko ng ganito. Ang kakati nila promise! I thought we were exclusively dating pero hindi pala. So wag nalang. Hanap nalang ako uli. Kakaloka sila.
