This Time

Pain

Di ko kayang makita siya ng kahit gaano katagal sa lugar na 'yon, her room where I've witmessed her cheated on me, where I saw her kissed another man, amd where she admitted that yes, she really had cheated on me.

I was such an idiot trying to blind myself from all of those rumors about her and that asshole I've heard.

I fought for her, for us just for a big NOTHING. Di ko man lang nalaman na ako nalang pala ang isang lumalaban.

"Hey Kief okay na?" Von said smiling as he saw me walking down the stairs.
I did not even dare to look at anyone of them. I don't want them to see that I was fooled by Mika Aereen Reyes, a Lady Spiker. They've known me as a man that won't cry over any woman except from my mom and Dani, a man who would just laugh whenever someone broke up with me.

But this time, it's different.

"Bro you okay? Hey bro wait!" They all yelled and called me. But I was so fast that they couldn't chase me.

I rode on my car and drove to my family's condo unit few kilometers away from taft. I need to run away from this nightmare.

I can't lie to you anymore.

I can't lie to ypu anymore.

Those words kept on flashing in my head. Do that means she's been cheating on me na? Matagal na? Yuck Kiefer Ravena! Yuck! You let a womab fool you?!

I can't see the road clearly because of the tears that are flowing from my eyes.

MIKA'S P.O.V.

"What the fuck happened Mika?!" Von yelled at me. I can notice anger from his voice.

I know everyone's thinking that I am a slut to kiss Andre while my boyfriend is waiting in my room for me.

No one would really believe me if I tell the whole story. No one, except Ara.

"Von, calm down. Look, Mika's not in good condition right now okay? We don't know the whole story and she's still not ready to tell us about it. Walang magagawa yang pag sigaw mo." Kimmy said while trying to push Von gently away from me.

"Yes, guys sorry. Ako na munaag sosorry. Ha? In time, you'll know why all these happened. I guess it would be much better if you'll go home muna or look for Kief." Ara, my best friend told the Blue Eagles.

Without leaving any threatening words, they left the taft.

I can't help it. Di ko kayang itago tong mga luha ko and pretend that I don't wanna die right now.

"Can I go now to my room?" I asked them still crying.

"Ihahatid kita Miks." Ara said and I obliged.

"Dito ka muna Ara."

She said nothing and just closed the door when she entered the room.

I kneeled down and cried as if there's no tomorrow. I have to let this out. I can't just live with this til the end of this night naman eh.

"I'm a slut Ara. I'm a slut!"

I cussed myself while crying. I deserve this. Wala akong karapatang magreklamo. I wanted this though.

DANI'S P.O.V.

"Saan na kaya yung kuya mo? Sabi niya kanina dadalhin niya dito si Mika."

Kanina pa namin hinihintay si Kuya Kiefer eh. Mom's expecting kasi that kuya and ate Mika will have dinner with us tonight.

Kuya Thirdy's not coming eh, he still have homeworks to do with his groupmates, while Dad's at Ilo-Ilo pa.

So kami muna ni kuya Kiefer ang baby ni mama plus ate Mika, I guess.

Someone knocked on the door. To my surprised, I saw the haggard side of my bro.

Di ko na siya natanong, pumasok na siya agad sa kwarto niya.

Naalala ko sabi ni ate Ly sa akin kanina, isusurprise daw ni kuya dapat si ate Mika. Pero bakit gano'n si kuya?

"Ma, he's crying."

KIEF'S P.O.V.

I checked my phone to see some messages from my teammates, lady spikers and Alyssa.

From: Best Phenom Friend

Answer my calls mister. I deserve to know what happened.

She's been calling pala and now, again. I slide my thumb to answer the call.

"Hello? Uhm can you please feed my mind with-- wait are you crying? Kief!"

"Ly, please comfort me. Pleasee Ly, i need you. I need my best friend."
