Chapter 26: Secrets Reaveled

- Friday -
- The Ceremonial First -

MICH's POV

     Today's the day we've all been waiting for. Ngayon ang unang pagkakataon na ipakikilala na kami ng magulang namin sa buong mundo. This day will change everything for all of us. The ceremony will take place at the Cerveza's hotel and will air live in every single country in this world.

       It is just like any other business gathering kind of party except that there are cameras and all kinds of other stuff. The whole Ateneo and La Salle team will actually attend together with their families and some close friends wil join, too. Even the  athletes from different universities are also invited to come.

       Umaga pa lang naghahanda na ang lahat para sa party mamaya. While, for us naghahanda na rin kami sa mga susuotin namin. Wala pa naman kami sa venue 'cause we're going to meet at the Bottom Botique first and suit up for the party later. As for me, on the way na ko sa Botique same goes with the Dudes.

       And if you are wondering what happened yesterday well nothing happened. Ayoko na balikan, masyadong masakit. But if you really are interested. Fine, I'll tell you.

But I kissed her. I fvcking kissed my bestfriend.

       We were passionately kissing for a while now until she was the first one to break it. Then, I just realized that I kissed her, I kissed Julia. I am totally screwed up. Wait, she didn't pushed me. But why'd she kissed me back?

      We were sitting down and the surrounding aren't getting any noiseless. Ate Ly shouted for us to come in 'cause it started raining. Julia stood up but I stopped her from going inside.

Mich: Julia, wait. I held her wrist. I'm sorry....

Jia: Sorry for what? She said in gritted teeth. For lying to me or for kissing me? She's totally mad at me. Damn it. She swatted away my hand that's holding hers.

Mich: Julia, please. Listen to me. I tried holding her wrist but she swatted it away.

Jia: *Pakkk!* That's for lying to me. *Pakkk!* That's for kissing me. *Pakkk!* And that's for playing with my feelings. Ouch! Three points for Morado. I can't feel my face anymore.

       I don't care about her hurting me physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. I don't even care if I look stupid or what. I just don't care anymore.

       She was halfway through the door but I hug her from behind and snuck my head on her neck. I was crying like a baby.

Mich: I know that saying sorry isn't enough for what I did . . . . I gently rub my nose on the crook of her neck. Secrets have costs, big ones. I know and I am truly sorry. I tighten my arms around her waist. I'm deeply sorry . . . Julia. I heard her sobbing so much. So, Hinarap ko siya sakin and I held her hand. I kissed them.

Jia: Sometimes I wonder if you just love me as your bestfriend . . . She stared at me. Well, do you? This is not a good time. Do you just love me as your bestfriend, Mich? I looked away. She then lets go of my hands.
