But I Still Fall

Epilogue

Kyle POV

"It's her." Cali tapped my shoulder before he smiled at me.

That night after the fight I got really curious about Kas. I asked Cali and Zac to help me know her identity and damn, finally. After years of searching, I finally found her. Kas is my missing princess.

I smiled and thanked Cali and Zac. They both tapped my shoulder and congratulate me before they leave. I just promised a night out with them to celebrate before they leave.

This time I promised myself that I'm going to make her mine. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganon nalang ako ka sabik na maka sama siya ulit. We're young back then when we parted our ways but my memories with her never left me. I just know to myself that I want her so damn bad.

Everything was going smoothly. I was slowly getting close to her again. We would hang out together and she would support me during my basketball practices. I'm trying to take things slowly. Ayokong biglain siya.

"Leave me alone Nicole." Nasa labas kami ng restroom ngayon. Bigla nalang siyang sumulpot sa harapan ko pag labas ko. 

"Kyle please, you know that I love you." She tried touching me but I was quick to stop her. Ano bang gusto niya?

"Stop it. Alam mong hindi na ikaw Nicole." Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata at tatalikod na sana ng bigla niya akong hinila pabalik at pina harap sa kanya. I gave her a annoyed look before glaring at her.

"Then prove it. Just one more kiss. Iparamdam mo lang sakin na hindi na ako. Titigil na ako kapag na ramdaman ko yon Kyle." Hindi ako nag salita at tumingin lang sa kanya. She looks desperate.

She actually looks beautiful tonight but not as beautiful as Kas. Napailing nalang ako to try shaking those thoughts away. Si Nicole yung kaharap ko pero si Kas pa din ang laman ng isip ko. Shit malala na ako. My thoughts suddenly disappeared when I felt Nicole's lips on mine.

I was about to stop her when I remembered what she just said. If I did it lalayo na siya at hindi na manggugulo. I'd love that para wala akong sabit sa kanya. One last time Nicole. Pinulupot niya na yung braso niya sa leeg ko at tumingkayad para mas maabot ako. I didn't want her to fall out of balance so I held her waist. I closed my eyes too, trying to find that feeling that I used to feel whenever I kissed her before. But I didn't felt. I didn't felt the urge to respond to her kisses anymore. I wanted to kiss someone else now, and I'm pretty sure that it's Kas.

I opened my eyes and pushed her slightly. She looked at me with tears pooling in her eyes. Napa buntog hininga ako bago ko siya hinila paalis doon. I brought her out of the venue and asked her to go home. I made sure she was home before I got back to the venue.

Si Kas agad ang hinanap ko pag balik ko sa loob, but I couldn't find her anymore. Natigilan ako sa pag hahanap sa kanya at napalingon ako kay Cali ng bigla niyang tinapin ang braso ko.

"She's home. I think.." Sabi niya sakin at nag kibit balikat. What? She's home already? But why..?

"How did that happened? Nag cr lang ako Cali." I said still looking around. Maniha siyang natawa at saka napa iling.

"Kyle, you were gone for about half an hour. Baka na bored na siya dahil bigla ka nalang nawala." He said while sipping on his drink. That actually made me think. Did i really spend thirty minutes with Nicole?

"I saw her. Lumabas siya kanina. Nag mamadali nga eh, kaya sinundan ko then I saw her get in a car. Baka kuya niya." Unti unting kumunot ang noo ko at napatingin ulit sa paligid. Well, maybe she really did got bored? Or maybe she's tired? I sighed and looked at Cali. I tapped his shoulder and told him that I'm going home too.
