[b][KIM’s POV][/b]
Weeks passed. Luckily, we were able to find out what happened to Kate. Her dad just came 2 weeks ago, which caused her absence. Her dad, Tito Jun is a close friend of my father ever since. Nagkakilala pala sila dati sa states. And it is from my dad that I knew why Kate haven’t gone to school yet.
So here’s the story. Her dad came home from states because he wanted to be with his family for the last months of his life. Matagal nap ala siyang may sakit, and he never let his family know. Ngayon lang niya sinabi, when he went home. And that was because of my dad’s advice. Kaya pala ginusto rin ni dad na lumipat kami dito, para madali niya madalaw si Tito Jun when this situation arrives. Well, it now did. Tito Jun has been in the hospital for weeks, since he’s being diagnosed for his sickness. Kate has always been beside him, and she never left, unless it’s time for bath. Her mom’s doing the same. At si dad, lagging dumadalaw sa kanila all by himself, until he told me. Kaya ngayon, I am with him to visit Kate, and his dad of course. I wanted to give my best friend the hug that would eventually comfort her. I felt so guilty inside because while I am being too happy, my best friend is experiencing the sad days of her life.
Dad opened the room’s door, and we walked in, silently. He gave tito Jun a smile, and sat beside him. I eventually approached Kate, and hugged her tight. She told me stories of her life. Those happy moments she had with her dad since she was a kid, and even those moments that made her upset. And most of all, she told me about her dad’s condition. I felt teary-eyed as she told me everything. I nodded, and gave comments that would enlighten her up. But i know those were not enough. I just can’t do enough. After her stories, she asked me,
“So, how are you and Mikh?”
“Eh? Kate naman. We’re doing well, so far.”
“Friends? Special friends? Best friends? Or, more than that?”
“Friends.
“ i lied.
“Oh I see. Kelan kaya kayo magkakatotoohanan noh? Haha. I kid.”
“Never. Haha.” I lied again.
The conversation went on, in random. We talked about anything. We tried catching up with each other’s lies. And I just felt guilty all along. Why? Because I have been lying. About Mikh and I. I know I should have told her the truth, but I’m afraid for her to know it. I know she would be happy for me, but I know too, that she liked him. Yes, she liked Mikh a lot.
[b][MIKH’S POV][/b]
Kimmy has been acting weird this past few days. She told me about Kate, and the reason why she’s been out of school all this time. I understood, and I nodded all along. I told her I wanna visit Kate’s dad, but she won’t just allow me. She said wait for the right time. IDK why, and most especially, when’s that right time she’s talking about.
We’re on our way home, and Kimmy’s still unusually quiet. Until she stopped walking, and faced me.
“Mikh, we’re breaking up.”
I am dumbfounded. What? Am I hearing it right?
“Kimmy? What? Ano sinabi mo?”
“Let’s break up. Let’s cut this stupid kiddy relationship out.”
“So yun ang tingin mo sa kung anong meron tayo? Kiddy relationship? We’re almost 2 months, and we’ve been happy. Until this weird day came, and you’re telling me to just end this off. Anong problema? Pwede mo naming sabhin sakin e. You know I’d always listen. And you know I’d always understand.”
“This is just isn’t right. Will you just, agree with me?” She said, in a lower tone.
“Unless you give me reasonable excuses.”
“Ano ba Mikh? Hindi mo ba maintindihan? What’s so unreasonable in this? Oh, I mean, what’s that f*ckng reason you wanted to hear? This is just a stupid relationship. A bloody relationship what would go nowhere. A bloody relationship that only you are happy with it. That only you are enjoying it. That only you are agreeing with it.”
“You, were not ---“
“Yes, I am not happy with you. I am not agreeing anymore with this bloody thing we have. Let’s cut this off. Let’s just end this. And pretend that nothing has happened all along.”
“What’s with you, Kim Eunice Sy? One day you’re acting sweet and fine, and now, you’re just, dropping it all? You’re just leaving me alone, hanging?”
“You don’t want me to leave you alone, hanging? Then,”
“Then what?”
“Then let go.”
As I digest the words she said, she began turning away from me. Inalis niya yung watch niya, and put it inside her bag. I can see that she’s crying, but I never noticed that my eyes are filled with tears as well. Ganun nalang ba? Ganun nalang matatapos lahat? What’s wrong with her? There must be something happening behind this, after all. She’s not that unreasonable. I know she does this for something. Or maybe, for someone.[/quote]
