The Great Pretender

Avorter

Mika

I ran as fast as I could. Im not sure where to go and what to do. I just want to be away..

away from him.

If there's one person I could always run to its going to be my bestfriend.

I found myself outside her door step crying non stop.

"Mika?! What are you doing here? Late na! Bakit ka umiiyak?! Ano nangyari sayo? Halika pumasok ka nga."

The moment I stepped my foot inside her unit, I hugged her and started breaking down.

"Omg Bf, why? pls stop crying. Ano ba nangyari? Where's Kiefer? Nag away ba kayo?"

I cant and I dont want to talk about it but I need this. I need a shoulder to cry on. I need someone to comfort me. I need someone to tell me its going to be alright.

I didnt talk.. and as much as I want to stop crying, I cant.

Jessey knows me to well that instead of telling me to speak up she gave me a very comforting hug.

"Fine, Iiyak mo yan. Im here to listen whenever you're ready ok? Im always here for you Mika and it hurts to see you like that especially di ko alam kung bakit ka nagkakaganyan."

Few moments after I tried to calm down and normalize my breathing. She made me sit down and offered me a glass of water.

"He's not gay.."

Jessey didnt say a word.

"Uhm.. Isnt that a good thing? At least di ba, di sya gay so no need to worry if he'll get attracted to handsome guys living around your condo right?"

As much as I want to believe that she's just trying to lighten up the mood, this isnt the reaction im expecting from her unless...

"Jessey, are you serious? That's it? That's how you'll react?! Look, he lied to me! All this time!"

I put down the glass of water Im drinking with so much force, I almost break it.

"Bf, aren't you a little overreacting? Dapat natutuwa ka pa diba?"

This is far from the reaction Im expecting to get from Jessey.

"Matuwa? Why? Anong nakakatuwa sa ginawa nya?! And bakit ka ganyan? Bakit di ka manlang nagulat? Do you know all of these?!"

She just keep her silence and that moment I already know the answer to my question.

She touched my hands trying to calm me down.

"Look Mika, let me explain.."

"No! Jess, pati ba naman ikaw?! Of all people! God! Jessey, ano ba ginawa ko sa inyo? Why do you have to lie?! What? You're on his side now?! So ano? Invited ka rin sa "wedding of the year"?! God damn it Jessey naman! I cant believe na pati ikaw magsisinungaling sakin just to cover up that asshole!"
