Fixing A Broken Star |⭐

Chapter 42

"Thanks God, it's over"

"Finally"

We're now heading back to Cam Norte. Our internship is done. The past months had been tough for me. After that Christmas night. I never had to talk to my parents again, I also had a hard time ignoring Ethan. I don't want to get myself near him, I don't want our parents to assume that we're going to be good together.

The next day Kylo already went home, but I never had a chance to tell him about what happened to our mansion.

I wanted to tell it to him but I don't wanna ruin our days. I also planned to tell him on a call when he's already home but, he's too busy. He got more busier than before so we had less time to talk to each other.

"Welcome back anak" Manang hug me, she seemed to missed me.

There were lots of foods in there, may banner pa talaga silang ginawa. Ate is also here together with Harry. I look for Kylo but he's not here.

"Si Kylo ay hindi nakapunta dahil busy daw sa site" Manang said, siguro napansin niyang may hinahanap ako.

"Okay lang po"

We ate together and I got to play with Harry, he's turning four this coming February 8. Good thing I was able to come home before his day.

I texted Kylo if he can go here but I didn't receive any reply. I guess he's that busy.

I dozed off to sleep early that night without seeing him.

I woke up the next morning and I immediately check my phone if he already have a reply.

He had a missed call, my phone rang again this time I was able to answer it.

"Hey, good morning" he greeted me but it doesn't sounds like sincere. He's not having a good morning.

"Good morning, are you ok? You sounded so tired" I asked worriedly

"I am now" I sighed because I know he's not.

"Can we see each other later?"

"Oo naman, may tatapusin lang ako tapos kita tayo"

"Alright. See you later"

I hang up the phone after that. I have no schedule today dahil weekend so I just busied myself with my papers and certificates from Manila.

I waited for Kylo's text but I received none. I waited until seven but still, there's no text from him.

I decided to go to their house instead of waiting.

"Oh nak! Nakauwi ka na pala. Pasok ka"

"Ah. Tito si Kylo Po?"

"Wala siya dito. Hindi pa umuuwi simula kanina. Mag kaaway ba kayo?"
My forehead creased dahil sa tanong ni Tito.

"Bakit po?"

"Simula kasi Ng umuwi siya galing sa Maynila, parang may nag iba sa kaniya. Hindi din siya tumigil sa trabaho, kahit tapos na ang internship niya"

I told Tito that I will look for Kylo. I am now allowed to drive my own car, so there's no need to ask for my driver.

I called his phone one more time and this time, he answered it.

"Hello Hershel?" I tried to familiarize the voice because it's not Kylo.

"Gino?"

"Ako nga! Si Kylo kasi.."

"What happened?" I asked worriedly.

"Pwede mo ba siyang sunduin? Text ko sayo yung place"

I ended the call and drove to the place that Gino texted me.

I was so worried when I saw Kylo sleeping on his seat. I smelled alcohol in him which he always hated. He never gets drunk, tumatagay lang siya pero never siyang nagpakalasing ngayon lang.

"What happened to him?"

"Pasensya na, nag akit kasi siyang uminom. May problema ba kayo?"

"We're fine. Can you please help me to get him into my car?"

Gino helped me with Ky, I can't carry him alone because he's too heavy.

"Thanks Gino"

I thanked him before I drove him home. Tito looks so worried and confuse. Kylo is now half conscious so I can now carry him alone.

Tito has an appointment tonight so I assure him that I can take care of Kylo, he thanked me because of that.

I changed his clothes and saw bruises on his shoulder part. Is it because of too much work? I felt his skin burning so hot, so I have to take a basin and towel for him.

Pinunasan ko ang katawan niya ng towel. I'm staring at him while doing that, he loose weight, but his body is still define. I just knew he has lost weight. There were also a darker part on his eyes. Parang palagi siyang puyat at pagod.

I don't know why he got drunk, only one thing is for sure, something's bothering him. I felt his hands moving, he reach for my face and stare at me.

"I love you so much" he said and I noticed a single tear coming from his eyes. Siguro ay dahil sa lagnat.

He doze off to sleep after that. Hindi ko na din namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako.

Kinaumagahan ay nagising ako ng maaga pero wala na si Kylo sa tabi ko.
I went downstairs only to hear Kylo and Tito.

"Ano bang nangyayari sayo anak?"

"Papa ayos Lang Po ako. Matanda na ako, normal na sa akin ang uminom kasama ang barkada paminsan minsan"

"Wala namang problema sa akin iyon. Pero, bakit hindi alam ng girlfriend mo?" Hindi makasagot si Kylo sa sinabi ni Tito.

"Sige na, Mauna na ako. Ayusin mo Kylo" Tito said when he saw me.

I just smiled at him before he left for work. When Kylo turn around he was taken a back when our eyes met.

"Love"

"Are you feeling well now?" He heaved a sigh and went near me to pull me into a hug.

"I'm sorry"

The truth is I am not mad, I am so worried. I don't know what's going on with him.

"Can you tell me what's going on with you?"

"I will, but later. Kain ka muna"

We ate breakfast together, I also lend him a medicine and ask him to drink it. I also took a bath and borrowed a shirt from him. I have an undergarments here because, I used to sleep here before.

"So what's the matter?"

He hugged me from behind, we're in the veranda of his room.

"I'm sorry hindi kita napuntahan kagabi. Naparami lang iyong inom ko"

"Why did you get drunk?"

"Gusto ko lang... makalimot"

"Forget about what?"

"Sa pagod, sa pressure at sa takot na nararamdaman ko" this time I face him

"What do you mean?" I asked while cupping his face with my both hands.

"Wala iyon. Wala na yon. Andito ka na eh" he then kiss my hand.

"Are you sure?"

"Oo naman"

I just heaved a sigh. I guess he doesn't want to talk about it. I can't force him though, all I have to do is not to leave him. Siguro ay naapektuhan lang siya ng distance namin nitong mga nakaraan.

Naging maayos kami pagkatapos noon at bumalik ang lahat sa dati. We also attended Harry's birthday. We had our usual routine like before.

We also celebrated the hearts day together. It was just a simple one but more memorable because for the second time, our heart, body and soul became one. We made love.
