..Keeping My Bestfreind's Heart.. (Lucky Aces) Book 1: For The Love Of AC

Part 47: Just getting started!

Lucky's POV

As the days passed, our relationship becomes stronger. I know whatever may come along, we can overcome it, for as long as we have each other.

Again, I was waiting for AC in the exit because she has a practice with the band. She wanted me to watch her practice, but I told her I will surprise my self in the Anniversary Party and that will be next week.

I'm looking at my watch, it's already 5:25, she said they'll finished at 5:30, so it's 5 minutes from now. She'll be here any minute.

A group of student came to approach me telling that AC is on the rooftop waiting for me. I was thinking what she might be doing there. Maybe she's pulling a surprise for me. With excited heart, I went to the rooftop hurriedly.

But I got disappointed after seeing someone.. instead of AC, I saw Margareth setting in one of the benches there. I could have walk away and leave, but I heard she's sobbing, and I'm not that bad to leave her like that.

I took out my handchie and give it to her.

"Thank you" she's wiping her tears

I nodded, I don't have an intention to stay with her.

"Thank you for coming over"

"I didn't come for you actually, some student told me AC is here so I went here hurriedly" I told her with honesty.

"Even though, still thank you, I really need a company right now"

"I think I'm not the one you needed" I stood up but she grab my hand.

"Please stay for a moment Lucky, I just need someone to talk to"

I looked at her.. her face is smashing with make up and stinging with tears, but she's undeniably beautiful. I sitted back.

"I won't take long, AC might be looking for me"

"You love her that much?"

"No one could ever imagine"

"How Lucky she is"

"Where's you friends by the way?? they should be the one lestining to you, not me"

"I cound't able to reach them"

"What happened, if you don't mind asking?"

"My father..he's not proud of me..ever since..lage akong napupuna at napapagalitan kahit wala akong mali. Samantala ang kuya ko, proud na proud siya, he always bousting him with his business partners and political allys. Peru ako, kahit kailangan hindi niya ipinagmalaki, hindi niya ako matapunan ng pagmamahal. Sawa na ako sa buhay ko Lucky, iniisip ng lahat na bitch ako, totoo naman yun, gusto ko lang mapansin ako ni Dad, gusto ko lang naman na may magmamahal sa akin, mahirap ba yun?"

She's crying in her palm. I didn't know her story, but I guess she locks love, affection and attention. But I'm not the one that could be give it to her, I could only love AC. Maybe she's needing someone who could love everything about her, but definitely not me.

I caress her back out of pity. Yes, I pity Margareth, I now begun to understand why she's acting that way.

"I'm sorry to hear your story"

"You pity me?"

"A little"

"Don't be"

After some moment, I stood up.

"I'll be going ahead"

She stood up to.

"Ahm..Lucky thank you for lestining my drama kanina"

I wiggled my hands "Don't mention it, no worries"

I'm about to climb down the stair when she called me back.

"Lucky!"

And before I could answer, she run towards me ang hug me tight.

"Thank you" she whispered

I froze. If this happened in other circumstances, I won't think twice to push her. But I guess a hug is she's needing right now so I hug her back.

After a moment, I face her. "You're beautiful Margareth, one day you'll be able to find someone who will love you the way you wanted to" and I walked down the stairs.

Margareth's POV

I pull all the drama kanina. Hindi ko akalain pwedi pala akong best actress. I get the mirror in my bag and fixed my make-up.

"Poor Lucky and AC, tingnan lang natin kung hindi kayo maghihiwalay"

Im starting to execute my plan. Inutusan ko ang mga estudyante kanina na paakyatin si Lucky sa rooftop, of course sabihin nila si AC ang nandito, alam ko naman hindi siya aakyat kung sabihin kung ako.

Half of my story is true. Maliban lang sa iyak iyak portion. Yeah, my dad isn't proud of me, but who cares?! as long as he provided me everything. I don't need love from them, all I need is Lucky.

I saw him studying my face, kaya ginalingan ko ang pag arti. Nang tumayo siya at nagpaalam, tumakbo at niyakap ko si siya..dahil..nakita ko sa gilid ng aking nga mata papaakyat si AC..siyempre by the signal of my smart friends.

I saw how AC devastated when Lucky hug me back. Ganyan nga AC, umiyak ka..at simula palang iyan..tingnan natin hanggang saan ang kaya mong pagtitis.

I let go of devilish smile. It just getting started.
