The Rules of Love

Chapter 6

Kiefer

Andito ako sa BEG ngayon para puntahan si alyssa. Alam ko naman na busy siya ngayon dahil nakapasok sila sa Finals for the very first time.

Yes natalo nila ang UP and they advanced to finals at ang makakalaban nila ay La Salle.

Nang makita ko si alyssa na busy na busy sa pagtratraining. Umupo muna ako sa isang bench at kinuha ang phone niya sa bag.

" Got your phone!" Sigaw na sabi ko kay aly

I took a selfie. Lagi naman eh. Punong puno na din kase yung phone ko ng selfie niya kaya ako naman magpupuno ngayon.

Habang nagseselfie ako. May nag pop up na may nagmessage at laking gulat ko ng si Mika yun.

"Mika reyes"

I immediately checked her message.

Nagkita sila? What?!

" Magkita ulit tayo. Starbucks. 3pm. Sorry for what I've said. Let's fix this for kiefer"

Ano nanaman ba mika?

" okay i'll be there at 1" reply ko

12:40 palang naman kaya umalis na ako agad at dinelete ko text ni mika at ang reply ko sakanya sa phone ni alyssa. Iniwan ko naman ang phone ni aly.

12:58 na ng makapunta ako sa starbucks.

I thought ang aga ko pero andito na agad si mika.

Pumunta agad ako sakanya at kitang kita ko naman ang pagkagulat niya.

" What..are you doing here?" Pautal utal na tanong niya

" I was the one who received your text. Bakit mo tinextext si Alyssa?"

" I didn't even text you so why would you received my text?" Mika

" I have her phone. Please wag mo nang idamay si Alyssa. What do you want?" Dirediretso kong tanong

" I want you..kiefer.. I want us. I want us back." Mahinahon niyang sagot

" Alam mo ba yung mga sinasabi mo mika? I almost died.. I almost lost everything.. You left.. And now you're here to say that? Not again, mika." Sagot ko at umiyak siya

" I'll do anything. I won't give up on us kiefer.. You promised me.. Please let me explain" mika

Hindi ako sumagot

" I was just afraid that one day you would leave me.. You would regret choosing me... I was just afraid to depend on you too much.. Na baka hindi ko kayanin pag iniwan mo ko. I was just afraid na baka hindi ko kayanin pag nawala ka... Yes. Kiefer I was weak but believe me I am ready now.. Please kiefer give me one more chance" pagmamakaawa niya

" I didn't expect that coming from you. Yun lang, mika? Yun lang? I did everything para mabalik sa dati.. Yung dating tayo. I loved you, mika. More than myself.. More than anyone else. I almost died waiting.. You helped me to fix myself and you broke it the day you left. Bakit ang unfair unfair mo? Bakit hindi ka lumaban?! I was worth the fight!" Medyo tumaas na yung boses ko at pinagtitingnan na kami sa starbucks

Kaya naman lumabas na si Mika at hinila niya ako.

"You know mika, stop!" Awat ko

Tumigil kami sa labas ng starbucks

" Kiefer.. I am so sorry. Araw araw kong pinagsisisihan yun... Kiefer I do..still love you" pautal utal niyang sabi

" Mika.. Nangyari na. It all happened and you chose to leave me"
