That Thing Called "Kilig"

Chapter 2 - In Between

Alden's P.O.V

Flashback:

"I'm so sorry Alden. I can't be with you." she said.

By that time, I felt my heart cracked. All I wanted to do was to be with her with all of my life. I want to have a life with her.

"Does that means...?" I asked, half-crying.

"I am really sorry. I think it's better for us to stay friends, than.." she protested.

End of flashback.

"Tisoy, Tisoy!" I allegedly went back to normal after Dad snapped his fingers at me. "Deep thoughts ba, 'nak?" He asked.

"Nah dad. Just remembered some horrible moments of my life."

"So that means you're thinking of the past, right? With Ate Jules?" my sister insisted.

"Shut up, Riza."

"Hey, tigilan niyo yan. C'mon big boy," Dad said as he patted my shoulder, "you have to flatter some hearts out there."

"Whatever you say Dad. Mauuna na po ako sa Broadway." I patted him on his shoulder, and kissed Riza's forehead as a goodbye.

Maine's P.O.V

"What the f-ck are you talking about?" I screamed to the bottom of my lungs.

"I'm sorry Maine. I got drunk. 'Never thought that that would happen." Mark protested.

"So, ano mangyayari ngayon? Ha?! Nakabuntis ka, Mark! It's no joke. Bakit mo ba kasi ginawa yun?!"

"Because I love Veronica. And--" i cut him off.

"Bullshit! Love mo? Pano naging love yun? Naginuman lang, love na. May NABUO." I can feel my heart burning. "Sige nga, mamili ka. Ako, na nagbigay katuwaan sayo? O yang malanding Veronica na hinarot ka lang ay mahal mo na?"

"Maine, I still love you." He said, and I can see that he is angry through the words he mouthed.

"Asshole! Kung di ka ba naman nagloko, edi sana ok tayo ngayon. Tas ano, after mong makabuntis, papanagutan mo, aampunin yung bata, and itutuloy natin yung forever mong pinapangarap?" I am barely breathing.

"You know what? I thought you were loyal. I thought you were the one. Akala ko, tayo ang makakapagpatunay ng 'forever'. But newsflash, all of those were just thoughts. So, get out of my room, and leave this fckin house of mine!"

"I'm so sorry, Maine. Please bare me another chance!" He begged.

"You told me you also love her. Bakit di nalang kayo ang magsama? Goodluck to your newest chapter of your forever." I slammed the door hard, and it is a good thing my family's not around.

I could barely breathe. My heart was beating fast because of the anger being pumped through my veins. After a few hours, all I could see is a light. Very bright. Then I realized that I was in the hospital. Mom was sleeping on the couch, so as Dad. My brothers and Nicole were watching news.

"Kuy-a?" I questioned.

"Meng? Okay ka na ba? Ano ba kasi nangyari kanina at nag-collapse ka?" Wait, did I heard it right? Ako? Nag-collapse?

"Yeah, tell us Maine. We were very worried. Alam mo buti nalang umuwi kami kaagad, or if not, baka hindi ka na namin naabutan." Dylan said, but at the same time, it is wayyy sarcastic.

"Ate" I told him.

Did I just really collapsed? Mahirap paniwalaan, pero I bet I really did. Mom and Dad woke up. Mom was literally teary-eyed, and I told them what happened between me and Mark. Just so, buti nalang I calmed myself while I was telling the scenarios.

"He's so unbelievable." Nicole said. Yes my sister, he really is.

"Anak ng! Stay away from him na Menggay ah! Loko yung mokong na yun a. Sa susunod na makita namin yun, tepok yun sa amin!" Kuya Nico and Dylan exclaimed.

"Tama na yan!" Dad shouted. "What's good is that Maine is now safe. Hayaan niyo na si Mark. Let him be. His choice, his life." he added. Oh please, daaaad.

*******

It was Thursday, a rainy one. We went to the GMA Network Station, for me and my family to tackle about the offer given to me by Eat Bulaga. It's my first time being here. The windows are huge and bright, different paintings were hung on each wall, and what I love the most is the atmosphere: very comfortable and chill. I saw Ms. Dianne while walking.

"Ms. Dianne!" I screamed.

"Oh, hi Maine!" She looked onto me, then, "Good morning, sires and madames." she greeted my family, and they all replied back.

We all went to some kind of place that it is very bright and wide. It's literally spacious enough. Ms. Dianne, talked to my parents, while me and Nicole are outside, waiting.

"Maine, I'm so sorry"

His words of curse are still in my head. I wish that I could wake up with amnesia. You know, to forget some stupid things.

"Maine? Maine? Menggay!" Nicole snapped me out.

"Oh, sorry. Just distracted."

"Hay nako, if you're thinking of it again, stop it. Baka mamaya..."

"Hindi ah! Matibay ako no. Bat ako magpapaapekto sa kaniya? We're over. As in over." I protested.

So their meeting was done, and I was the one who was called. God, this Dianne girl sure has a lot of things to do. Andaming cellphones! Kaloka!

"Yaay! You're parents said yes." She cheered. Oh, really gal? I'm the one supposed to be happy, not you.

"Yea, great!" I faked a smile. "So, when do I start?" I asked.

"Monday, next week. I still have a lot of things to do. Please call me for any details. Thank you and goodbye!" She bid us each a bye bye and ran to another office.

Monday? Perfect. The New chapter of my life.

A/N: medyo OA talaga ang imagination ko minsan. Hahaha!
