Secretly Dating My Best friend's Brother

28

I was staring at the ceiling of my dorm. Mom told me that She gonna watch over kuya. So I decided to get back to my place. My tears flowed nonstop. Kate left. There's no face of her that will comfort me Everytime I'm sad. No one will tell me what I'm gonna do to my things. Wala ng mag-uutos sa 'kin na iligpit ko ang mga gamit ko.

After She left yeaterday, Hindi na rin siya nakipag-usap sa 'kin. I heard from the Dean's office na nagpa-transfer si Kate sa University sa Italy without telling me.

I was very exhausted. All I can do now is to cry, cry and cry until my eyes swollen. I still can't contact Kaedel the following days.

I was tired from my Activities at school, requirements here and there. Practice Demo will coming in just a few days. I'm not ready. Noong nandito si Kate alam ko na kaya kong iperform ng tama pero ngayon na Wala na siya sa tabi ko parang hindi ko na kaya.

I check on my phone. Nagbabakasakali na kahit Isa sa kanila ay makakausap ko at magpaliwanag sakin ng nangyayari. I sighed heavily. I can't focus studying.

Pinatay ko ang laptop at Tv naman ang binuksan ko. Hinayaan ko lang nakabukas habang tulala pa rin ako at gulong-gulo na ang isip ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit umalis si Kate at mas lalong hindi ko alam kung ano naba ang nangyari sa Fiancee ko. I stared to my finger and touch the stone of the ring. "Just tell me that you're very busy please, that's why you don't have enough time to catch up with me." I wished.

Hindi ko namalayan na nakaidlip ako. 6pm na ng magising ako, "Kate, what's for din--" I cutted my own words when I remember that she's not here anymore. Bumangon ako at kinuha ang hairbrush ko. I decided to have my lunch sa restaurant sa baba. It's my first time having a dinner alone.

Akala ko mag-iisa ako pero noong naroon na 'ko nagkasabay kami ni Kurt sa counter at hanggang sa makaorder ako ay sumusunod siya. I was about to eat when someone pull the chair in front of me. "Can I join?" Tumango nalang ako. He's friendly?or Kaedel was just right that he has something for me?Pero parang wala naman, si Kaedel lamang ang nag-iisip noon kasi nagseselos siya.

Kurt is a fine man, He's serious when it comes to his study. I know him a bit kasi nakakasama ko na siya dati hindi nga lang madalas. Napapatingin ako sa adam's apple niya na gumagalaw Everytime he was swallowing his food so I noticed him smiling a bit while looking at me. "Why?" He asked. Natawa din ako, "Wala.." Umiwas ako ng tingin ng maalala si Kaedel. Siguro kung narito siya ay baka nag-aaway nanaman kami dahil kay Kurt.

"Bakit ikaw lang mag-isa?nasa'n yung kaibigan mo?" Mapakla akong ngumiti. "She transferred into another school." Malungkot na sagot ko. His smile fade away, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." tumango ako at ngumiti lang ng kaunti. "It's okay." I replied.

Mabilis akong natapos kumain, at nakasunod parin siya sa 'kin. "May kailangan ka pa?" I ask bago ako umexit sa restaurant. "Wala naman. Yung kasama mo last time? Boyfriend mo?" Tanong niya habang naglalakad kami.

Why are you asking?

"Yeah...No, Actually He's already my fiancee." I let him see the ring on my finger. "Oh, congrats." He greeted.

"Thank you." I whispered.

"So, when is the wedding?" Depende kung babalikan niya pa 'ko.

"Maybe after I Graduate." Tumango siya ng sunod-sunod. "That's good." pinutol ko na ang sasabihin ko sana ng mapansin ko na nasa harap na 'ko ng elevator papunta sa dorm ko. "Bye Kurt!See you around." He wave at me. Hinintay niya na makapasok ako bago siya umalis.

Bagsak ang katawan ko ng makapasok sa loob ng unit. It's so different, so quite. Hindi ako sanay na walang maingay. Naupo ako sa kama at binuksan ang account ko sa facebook. Ang tagal ko rin palang hindi active sa social media.
