[quote][b][u]CHAPTER 30[/u]
[KIM’S POV][/b]
Weeks passed after the break-up. And it has also been weeks when I cry every night. I did that for a reason, and I know well that my reason is, well, reasonable in a way. I broke up with him to stop feeling guilty with Kate.
So that if she asks what’s goin on with me and Mikh, I could say without guilt that we’re just friends. At least in that way, I am not lying to her.
But I knew, and I know that I hurt him.
But I act like I just don’t care. Besides, he’s doin well now, with Karla on his side all the time.[b] Things really go that fast, and people really change in a period of time[/b]. He’s just a guy. [b]A guy that I have learned to care for, a lot[/b]. [i]But I just have to let him go[/i]. For my friend’s sake.
[b][KATE’S POV][/b]
“Steven?”
“Yes, Kate?”
“Kamusta sa school? Si Kim? She’s not been here, for a while. May nangyari ba?”
“I don’t know. But yeah, she’s been acting weird.”
“I wonder if she’s fine.”
“I guess she’s bringing sumthng heavy with her. Whatever that thing is.”
“She’s not telling you?”
“Well, one time, nung magkasabay kami, she spilled out something she knew she should not have said.”
“So, ano yun?”
“She told me this way, [i]‘Steve, I hate to see Mikh with that flirty girl, Karla.[/i]’. And it was followed by,[i] ‘It hurts. No, What I mean is, alam kong masasaktan si Kate pag nalaman niya yun.[/i]’. “
“Oh that stupid best friend of mine. What was she thinking? Gusto ko si Mikh?”
“I guess.”
“Well, kilala mo naman kung sino laman ng puso ko, diba?” I looked intently at Steve, and he smiled.
“Yeah, I know. Except for your dad, well, i know who that lucky guy is.”
“good, then. Pero, i need to clear things up with Kim first.”
Steve nodded, and we both looked at the door when someone knocked. I took a glance to my father, who’s still at peace, sleeping. I stood up, and opened the door. Steve decided to leave, then.
“Oh, Mikh. Have a seat.”
“How are you? Your father?”
I told him the story behind these things, and my father’s condition. He nodded, and hugged me.
“Thanks for that, Mikh. Hhm, how’s Kim, btw?”
“I don’t know.”
“What’s goin on with you?”
“Nothing. We just, yeah, recently broke up weeks ago because she said that what we had is just a stupid bloody relationship that what would go nowhere. A relationship that I’ve been the only one happy with it. That only I, were agreeing with it. After all? She’s been happy too, I know. Alam ko naman Kate kung kailang :fork:fake yung mga ngiti niya at kung kelan totoo. I know her better than she knew I do. Tapos gnun lng? She would leave me hanging without really explaining why she’s breaking up with me? She acts like she don’t even care about how I felt. And that just, s*cks.”
“Oh dude. I never knew.”
“You never knew what? “
“I never knew that you had that kind of relationship. Whenever I ask her how the two of you are doin, she’d only answer me one word. Friends. That’s it. Then she would change the topic, and won’t let me ask anything more about you again.”
“Oh. Akala ko, alam mo.”
“I honestly don’t know. I guess I need to talk to her.”
“Oh sh*t. She’d hate me for life if she knew I spilled it out to you.”
“She won’t. She cares for you more than you thought she does.”
“But she left me.”
“Let me talk to her. You two will be fine.”
“Whatever Kate. I’m not talking to her anymore.”
“Are you that hard, man?”
“She made my heart turn to stone.”
“Cmon. Wag kang ganyan magsalita. Trust me.”
“Bahala ka sa kung ano gusto mo gawin. Basta ako, I’m doing what I have to do.”
Mikh stood up, and walked out the door.
Gaaaaa. Kim Eunice Sy, what have you been thinking about all this time?
