Love Game

Chapter 95: His Princess

It is said that actions speak louder than words. But sometimes, words are louder than actions.

I am Trinca Diploma, and I’m hopelessly in love with Kiefer Ravena. Who would ever think that I’m in love with him? Akala nila, kaibigan lang ang tingin ko sa kanya, pero hindi. I like him. I love him.

He treats me as a friend, I treat him more than that. Pero kahit ganun, hindi pa rin niya napapansin yun. Siguro nga, I should have just said those three words straight to his face. But it’s too late. He’s madly in love with someone else.

Indeed, it’s a small world. Kung sino pa ang naging karibal ng kaibigan kong si Jade kay Thomas, yun pa ang nakaribal ko kay Kiefer. Well, wala namang rivalry since the start. Dahil hindi naman alam ni Kiefer na gusto ko siya.

I’ve known Kiefer dati pa. We do have common friends. We usually hang around dati, pero ngayon, hindi na namin nagagawa.

I remember seeing him with Ish dati. Sila pa kasi nun eh. I admire their relationship – it was almost perfect, kaya nga I found myself liking him in the end and soon after, I fell in love with him. I see him around the campus. I notice every move he makes. But he failed to notice mine.

Sometimes, I want to admit to him that I like him. Pero I would end up turning my back and shrugging that thought away.

Now, as I see him with his ‘princess’, I wished I could just turn back time and just admitted to him what I really feel. Pero it is impossible. I can never turn back time. I regret not taking the risk. Maraming ‘what ifs’ ako ngayon.

What if I told him my feelings? I could have been that girl he’s calling his princess. He could have loved me back. We could have been so happy.

I smiled when they saw me walking to them. “Hey!”

“Oh Trincs!” bati ni Kief. Grace just smiled.

“Hi.” I said as I turned to Grace then back to Kief. “By the way, congrats sa inyo Kief.”

“Thanks Trincs!” sabi ni Kief.

“Ah oo nga pala, Grace, this is Trinca.” Sabi niya kay Grace. “My friend.”

“Trincs, si Grace.” He continued. “My girlfriend.”
