The Great Pretender

Acte

Mika

Kiefer went home that night crying..

He sat down on the sofa. I immediately get him a water to drink to calm him down.

"B.. wala na kami"

Its like parang nabunutan ako ng tinik nung sinabi nya yun but focus, Mika. He needs a friend right now.

"What?! Oh my god. Wha why what happened?!"

I hugged him to make his crying stop while he's telling me how it ended and I can see Jessey smirking cause everything's in favor of her.

"I dont know why. Sabi nya lang ayaw nya na. Then that's it. I dont even know kung may third party or what. Im not sure. Bigla na lang ayaw nya na. Ang unfair, B. I understand naman cause sino nga naman magstay sa gay na katulad ko diba?"

"I will!" My good best friend butted in. Wow.

I didnt mind her nalang and I focused on comforting Kiefer.

"You know that's not true, Kiefer. It doesnt matter if you're gay or not. Every one deserves to be loved."

"Except me."
  

"No, B. Dont say that. You have all the good qualities a lover can ask for. So dont you dare belittle yourself, ok?"

"Oo nga, Kief. If ayaw na sayo ni Von, andito naman ako." Again, that's my good good best friend. I stared at her to let her know na she's not really helping and she whispered "fine" while her eyes rolling.

I told Kief na I'll just get something sa kitchen. Times like these, the only solution I know is.. ice cream! It never fails.

I get two pints of ice cream. One for Kief, and one for Me.. and yea, I'll share with Jessey.

I was about to hand him his ice cream but I saw Jessey hugging Kiefer and comforting the hell out of him so I gave them the two pints and watch them from afar. What. a. great. view.

"Bf.. di ba late na? Di ka pa ba uuwi?"

"Oh yea, about that. Can I stay here muna? I think he needs someone to comfort him pa eh."

"I can manage, Jess. I think Kiefer needs to rest na rin. Right, B?"

"Uhm yes, okay na ko, Jessey. Thank you ah and thanks for the ice cream, B. It sure helped. I feel better now."

"But I have no classes na tomorrow and you have work and Kief will be alone here and that's not a good idea. So can I please stay here?"
 

"Okay lang, Jess. Sanay naman ako dito magisa."

"See, yun nga eh. Lagi ka nalang mag isa. Maybe its about time may makasama ka naman."

Wow naman pala, Bf. So what am I pala dito? Hangin?

"Fine, Bf. You can stay. Hindi ka naman magpapapigil eh. But you will stay in my room and promise na hindi mo kukulitin si Kiefer."

"Promise!!"

That moment mukha syang nanalo sa lotto or batang binigyan mo ng isang sako ng candy.

Kiefer

Somebody please tell me if its right to right a wrong with another wrong? or lies with another lie? Damn it.

Bakit ba ko pumayag sa idea ni Von?

Flashback

"Bro alam ko na!"

"Ano?"

"Tama ka!"

"Itigil na natin to!"

"Oo nga, ititigil nga. So pano?"

"Literal bro. Magbreak tayo."

"Okay, so nagbreak. Pano naman yun? Pano yun nagbreak lang straight na ko agad?"

"Well its for you to find out. Pero atleast diba nabawasan na yung lies mo."

"Kung may ibang option lang eh. Hay sige sige, Bro ah. Balitaan kita. Pero pucha, pano ba mga bading pag bagong break?"

"Eh di kung pano si Mika.. Ganun din yun! Pusong babae naman eh. Gayahin mo lang."

"What?! No way! Sobrang wasted yun kaya"

"Exactly. Hello? Love na love mo kaya ako. Dapat mahaggard ka ganun. Wag ka magpagupit then magpahaba ka ng facial hair yung magmumukha kang caveman para convincing. Tapos mas makakakuha ka ng sympathy and icocomfort ka ni Mika pag ganun."

"Oo nga no! Ayos!!! Pero.. pano ko iiyak?"

"Sus. Parang di umaarte to oh. Ako bahala sa iyak mo."

Bago ko pumasok ng condo naglagay ako ng vicks sa mata ko and.. its showtime!

End of flashback

Natatawa ako the way na magreact si Mika and Jessey when they found out na im 'heartbroken' pero mas kinikilig ako knowing na Mika's concern but nakakaguilty rin cause right now di lang si Mika niloloko ko pati sarili ko and si Jessey. Gulo.

Nice one, Kiefer. Instead na ayusin mo mas dinadagdagan mo pa kasalanan mo. Galing galing talaga.
