Scrap the ideal

CHAPTER 4

FRANZ

I love my boyfriend.

Aisha posted a minute ago.

I scrolled more on my wall in my fb and found my girlfriend posted this. Guilt is eating me. Aisha is a good person nobody could be a good girlfriend than her but the fact that my heart belongs to someone else, makes me guilty and I felt like cheating. I am not deserving for her. I do not know what to do with this weird feeling whenever Anj is around. She drives me crazy that makes me forget Aisha. That night I got her confessing her true feeling for me were paradise, one thing and another we kissed. I thought it was perfect but then she started acting crazy hiding from me. I've been chasing her but what got me to stop was when she reminded me of Aisha. I need to cut the bond between Aisha and me. But one night, when I was about to cut everything with Aisha, she had me shocked with a news I wished she was kidding me.

"I'm pregnant."

My world stopped for a second my thoughts were trembling. I didn't know what to say nor to do.

I was on duty on my part-time job at Mang Inasal when I saw Anj waitning for her order. I quickly turned to her way.

"Hi." I greeted her.

"Hi!" she greeted back. I guess she was shocked seeing me working here.

"You work here?" she asked..

"Yeah! Uhm- who are you with?" I asked trying t be descent, and trying to hide my broken heart.

"I'm with James we just stop by to grab some brunch(breakfast-lunch)." She said pointing at James. It's that guy again.

"So, how are you with Aisha?" she asked. Shit, why does she have to ask about her?

"Uh- good." I sighed.

"We're having a baby." I added, hesitantly. There was silence but she broke it.

"Wow! Really? Congratulations!" she said, surprised. She seemed okay with it. I guess she never really liked me.

"Thank you. Well, twinned with the news I have to do extra hardwork." I said.

"Your order ma'am."Kristel told Anj, getting her attention.

"Thank you." She turned her gaze to Kristel, got her food and back to me saying, "I need to go, James is waiting. Good luck though." She bid goodbye. I sighed deep as I watch her go with that guy again, leaving my heart longing for the love that got away. No one to be blamed but my stupid jerk self.

ANJ

I sobbed on his shirt, I realized how pathetic of me. He pushed my shoulder a bit to see my face and asked, "What happened?"

I think it's alright to tell him. I mean he's like a bestfriend.

"You remember Franz from Chad's? I liked him and he reciprocates that feeling too but things were bit complicated and we can't be together because he has a girlfriend and I can't be the third party nor the third-wheel. But you know... I had hopes until this hour..." I released a deep sigh and continued, "his girlfriend is pregnant." I ended.

After I told him, I felt like the pain was lessen. One second, he cupped my face...

"I hate to see you like this. It hurts me too." He whispered.

I stared at his eyes, I see sincerity. Wait, why is my heart beating too fast? Am I... no, I can't be. I turned my gaze outside the car.

"Thank you, for being the shoulder to cry on." I said and looked at him again.

"It's alright. I'm born to be one anyway." He said with a smile.

*crooaakk*

"Oh hoho! The beast is hungry!" He said and ruined my hair... I pouted fixing my hair down and ate my brunch silently.

The road trip was a bit boring. I needed music to whine up, I turn the radio on the car and instantly had Yeng's song, If we fall in love. I turn to look at James and said, "I like this song!" and so we sang the song duet and sang in unison of the song, I don't wanna miss a thing. It was quit fun. We came on the resort at almost 7 pm. I was tiring I didn't have time to meet his friends. I hit the sack early.
