The Great Pretender

Connivence

Mika

Oh, no. Not again.

Its like de ja vu but with different person. Bakit ba kasi lagi nya nalang iniiwan nang naka open yung door? If he wants to make out at least lock the door naman for privacy diba?! Ughhh! And of all people! Jusko!!! Of all people, why si Jz pa?! Why my bestfriend?

Okay, i know na she likes him but what the fudge! Short hair lang bestfriend ko pero di sya boy! So ano yun? Confused na si Kiefer?

I stayed sa lobby for an hour. I needed to breathe lang. Masyadong mabilis and maraming nangyayari. I need a moment to process this. I just hope na bigyan nila ko ng queue if safe na bumalik sa unit so I can rest na diba? But naaah I dont even think na nahiya sila sa na witness ko.

Umakyat na kaya ako?

Start packing my things?

Move out?

But...

I dont want to leave..

I want to stay.

Better live with it nalang siguro.

Wait, Mika.. You should hear their side muna.

I gathered all the strength that I'll be needing para makabalik sa unit..

*Tok tok*

Breathe in.. Breathe out, Mika. Kaya mo yan. Relax.

Kiefer opened the door for me. The atmosphere in this place was nothing but awkward so I decided to speak up to lessen the tension..

"Okay.. First, di ako galit.. na shock lang ako."

"Bf.."

"Jess please.. Second, Kief you still share this unit with me so please respect our house rules. If you want to make out stay in your room naman hindi yung lagi nalang ako nagugulat."

"But Mika..."

"Shhh... Lastly, I dont know and I dont want to know what's going on between the two of you but please please dont make this place too awkward for me to stay around."

"Bf.. just hear me out"

"Its okay, Jessey. I understand. No need to explain. Nagulat lang ako. Sige na, Im tired na rin. I'll be staying here for the weekend.. yun ay kung okay lang sa inyo. Akyat na ko sa room. Goodnight!"

"Mika.. wait naman! Bf!!"

"And nga pala, saan ka matutulog? sa room ko or sa room ni Kiefer?"

Di nakasagot si Jessey and napayuko na lang sya.. I know Im being a bitch right now for not giving them the chance to explain pero kasi I know what I saw and that's enough for me.

"Psh.. im so stupid. Bakit ko pa tinanong? Obviously you'll stay with Kiefer. Sige, mag lock na rin kayo ah and please dont be too loud. I badly need to get some sleep. Goodnight, guys. Have fun."

As soon as I entered my room, I immediately locked my door, lay down in bed, hugged my pillow and burst into tears..

Kiefer

Ngayon ko lang nakita si Mika na nagkakaganyan. Nakakatakot... Nakakatakot kasi I dont know whats going on in her mind right now.

Mukha syang okay pero hindi.. Di ko maintindihan.

"Jessey, Ano na? Kala ko ba sasabihin natin kay Mika yung totoo? Ano nangyari?"

"Kiefer.. Asan ka ba? Di mo ba nakita? Di nga tayo pinakinggan diba? Kicked out pa ko tuloy sa kwarto nya! Tsk!"

"Kasalanan ko ba? Sorry ah.. Dun ka na muna magstay sa room ko. Dito nalang ako sa sala."

"Hep hep!! No! Lalo maghihinala yun. Parang kinonfirm lang natin yung maling akala nya pag nagkataon."

"So what's your plan?"

"But... wait!! Hmmm... Binigyan nya ako ng idea. Bwahahaha!"

"Ano na naman yan. Jessey ah. Sabi mo tutulungan mo ko. Wag mo ko pagsamantalahan. Good boy ako!"

"Sira!!! May naisip lang ako.. ayos to. Swear, magtiwala ka lang.."

"Sus! May choice ba ko? Sige na. Ano na naman ba yan?"

"Kailangan mo ng ilabas ang pang best actor performance mo!"
