A Cold Knife Slashing My Back

“So, are you two together?”

We still had a few minutes for cocktails before the movie started. Sir Tan, Matt, Aldrich, and I were sipping lukewarm iced tea in wine glasses.

“You didn’t tell me you hooked up with Veronica, ha Aldrich!” Sir Tan nudged Aldrich in the ribs that my friend let out a silent “ugh.”

“Sir, hindi ako,” Aldrich said, massaging his ribs. “Veronica is with Matt.”

At that moment, it seemed as if I had gone deaf and everything was in slow motion. I felt like a bomb had been dropped on our small table and we were all too stupefied to know what to do with it. Sir Tan of the many happy male hormones moved first.

Ahhh talaga Matt? Kayo ni Veronica?” Sir Tan asked, eyebrows raised.

Naku Sir, hindi po. What Aldrich meant was Veronica’s supposed to be with me in (name of publication here). But I still haven’t persuaded her to join me in the editorial board.”

I felt a cold knife slash my back. Call me a diva, but I was losing too much blood, fast. Good thing I decided to glam up--nothing like looking your best in the middle of big public humiliation (at least for those who knew the real story—in this case, only Matt, Aldrich, and I).

“So, you’re not together?” Sir Tan had the wickedness to repeat the question twice while pointing from Matt to me and back to the guy I slept with just two night ago.

“Of course not,” Matt said with a smile.

“Yeah, ikaw talaga Aldrich,” I used what was left of my energy to nudge him in the ribs again. “Lagi mo akong tinutukso kay Matt, you know naman I’m seeing someone else.”

The whole crowd proceeded like I didn’t just die a humiliating death right there in the middle of Glorietta. Everyone moved from the cocktail area to the cinema, with me seated between Sir Tan and Aldrich.

In the darkness of the cinema, the first teardrop fell, the coldness of the place doing a fine job of hiding the chills and anger bubbling up inside me. Only when Aldrich touched my knee in a sympathetic gesture that could only mean “I’m sorry” did the tears fall in another humiliating wave. I had to excuse myself to run to the ladies room.
