Vehemence

"I won't just survive

Oh, you will see me thrive

Can't write my story

I'm beyond the archetype

I won't just conform

No matter how you shake my core

'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh"

-Rise Lyrics by Katy Perry

THIRD PERSON POV

"Distinguished guests! Ladies and gentlemen!

It is my honor to be invited as a speaker in a charity event like this." Sabi ng Host dahilan para matuon lahat ng atensyon sa kanya..

"I would like to seize the opportunity to congratulate us on launching this outstanding charity gala in which many of the biggest companies are involved. Our donations for this month, has surpassed the anticipated amount of 10,000,000 pesos to 25,000,000 pesos." Napalibutan palakpakan ang paligid dahil sa pagkamangha ng mga dumalo.

"This amount will be donated to an orphanage and a hospital for children. On our monitor, you can see the faces of children who need our help. The money will be donated for modern medical equipments, to support and to give the life they deserved." The host added.. Umupo na si Kyle sa mesang nasa harap ng runway..

"Our goal is to decrease the number of infant deaths in the city or even in the country under our sponsorship. To achieve this noble goal, we have organized a charity event and a charity fair. I am honored to thank all the sponsors, organizations and private companies, who made this event feasible." Sabay palakpakan ng mga taong nasa silid tanghalan.

"Without further due, I'm presenting you, E.L.V's latest swimsuits and gowns!" And with that isa-isa nang nagsisilabasan ang mga models.

Enjoy na enjoy ang mga kalalakihan habang pinapanood na irampa ng mga modelo ang mga suot na swimsuit.. Pagkatapos ay ang mga gowns naman ang ibinalandra nila..

Habang nakatuon ang atensyon ni Kyle sa mga rumarampa, ay bigla siyang nilapitan ni Ally.

"KYLE! FINALLY NAKITA NA KITA! I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. MAY KAILANGAN KANG MALAMAN!" Ally howled. But because of so much noise coming from the music, Kyle didn't understand anything..

"WHAT?! HINDI KITA MAINTINDIHAN!" Kyle yelled while pointing at his ears..

"WE NEED TO GO! FOLLOW ME!" Ally insisted. Kyle looked at her puzzled.. Ally faced Kyle with her serious look..

Walang nagawa si Kyle kung hindi ang tumayo at sumunod kay Ally. Ngunit hindi pa man sila nakakalayo sa mesang kinauupuan ni Kyle ay biglang namatay ang ilaw saka nagsalita ang Host.

"Now, let's all welcome, the woman behind this successful event, the woman behind these designs and product, and the woman behind E.L.V. Modelling and Company, I'm presenting you...." The host suddenly paused and nagkaroon ng spotlight sa stage.

"Let's give a round of applause to.....

MS. ELLE LAVENDER VILLAFUENTE!!!" The host finally introduced the woman behind the E.L.V. Modelling and Company. The room filled with claps and smiles but not for two people.

Kyle slowly eyed on the stage and there she saw the woman he once loved walking and showing her pasarela with a thin cloths on.. She's wearing a cross-laced swimsuit with a black high-heeled shoes.. Her make up seems heavy and her hair gone brownish..

Kyle looked at the way she swayed her hips, the way she walked and the way her body rocks on the stage.

But Kyle realizes that the woman he's now looking at is different. Her facial expression, her eyes and her everything.. It looks different. She's very daring and bold now compared to the Elle she once loved back then..

Suddenly, he got froze when Elle eyed him. He tried to smile but Elle didn't smiled back. She's giving him an emotionless stare..

"Elle.." Kyle suddenly uttered.. "Let's go, Kyle. Umalis na tayo dito.." Ally said the moment she discerned Kyles' attention was on Elle..

"No.. I'm staying here. If you want to go, you may go." Kyle seriously said without looking at Ally. Ally felt hurt, but anger overwhelms in her heart.

'Damn you, Elle.. Bakit nabuhay ka pa?! You should be dead now! Bakit bumalik ka pa at nagkandaleche-leche ngayon lahat nang mga pinaghirapan ko!' Ally said to her mind. She stared at Elle who poses at the middle of the stage.. Elle eyed on Ally and like what she did to Kyle, she's giving a cold and deadly stare to Ally.

Ally raised her left eyebrow as if she's not startled to what Elle did to her..

Elle smirked.. And that sent shivers to Ally.. It feels like she's being pricked by thousands of swords.

"Again, let's welcome, Ms. Elle Lavender Villafuente!" The host once more introduced Elle to the crowd. Then someone handed Elle a bouquet of flowers and a microphone..

"So Ms. Elle, what made you decide to push through this kind of event?" The host asked.

"Well, first and foremost, I would like to thank everyone for making it today. And going back to your question, I have two reasons actually.." The crowd laughed when Elle chuckled.

"The first reason, since I'm an only child, I always dreamt on becoming an older sister to my little siblings. Kids has always had a special place in my heart." She answered with full of sincerity and because of that she received another round of applause from the crowd and because of that, Ally rolled her eyes.

"And the other reason is a bit personal to me. Actually, something happened back then, and it eager me most to pursue what my plan is." Elle said while smiling at the audience. But Kyle and Ally stared at Elle probably observing her movement..

Parang may kung anong kirot naman ang nararamdaman ni Kyle sa puso niya. The way Elle answered the question, it feels heavy and sharp to him.

"What a good heart, Ms. Elle! Nice to see you again!" The host excitingly said to Elle.

"Yes!! IT'S NICE TO BE BACK!" Elle casually said but it brought something strangeness to Kyle and Ally..

"Kyle let's go. Umalis na tayo, mag-uusap pa tayo." Kalmadong sabi ni Ally kay Kyle..

Ngunit nananatiling nakatuon ang atensyon niya kay Elle na kasalukuyang nagpipicture taking sa stage.

"KYLE!" Napalakas masyado ang boses ni Ally kay Kyle dahilan para mapatingin sa kanilang pwesto ang mga audience at kabilang na dito si Elle.

"Oh, before I forgot something.. Ms. Elle your surname sounds familiar, are you somehow related with the Villafuentes' Company?" The host intrigued.

Elle smiled sweetly to the host and at the audiences and locked her stare at Kyle.. Kyle smiled nervously.

"Yes because I'm Kyle Villafuentes' wife..." Boom.
