PRESENTing the PAST (KiefLy)

4- I met her

Kiefer's POV

I met her during our first year. Rookie pa kami nun. I don't know whats with her that really interests me. Maybe its her face. Her smile? Or her vibrant persona. Nah, maybe her attitude.

I don't really know. Basta ang alam ko lang halos mabaliw ako noon pag di ko siya nakita sa loob ng isang araw. I know it sounds cliche, but it's true.

She's been my inspiration playing during those years. We won the first two championships lang naman. At the end of our first year, I courted her. Kahit na sabihin niyang what I'm feeling is just an infatuation hindi parin ako nagpapigil. Wala akong magawa eh, gusto ko talaga. During our second year naging kami. But she don't want others to know. Close friends and family lang namin yung nakakaalam. We we're together until the end of our second year.

I thought we we're happy. Kasi masaya naman talaga ako eh. And then one day nag-iba na.

Ayaw na niya. Nakipaghiwalay siya sakin. I asked her why, sabi niya lang na gusto niyang magfocus sa school at volleyball. At first naintindihan ko naman yun, kaya ko namang maghintay eh.

But then comes halfway of our third year. News were all over the social media.

May bago. May bago na siya. And what hurts me the most is that hindi sila nagtatago. The heck! May nalalaman pa talaga siyang focus focus muna sa volleyball pero hindi naman pala.

That broke me, you know. Nag-iba tingin ko sa mundo. I always feel that I'm not enough. Na palaging may kulang sakin. I don't trust anyone anymore except my family and bestfriends.

Hindi ko na binibigay lahat except for basketball kasi alam ko pag marami kang binigay, marami ring mawawala sayo.

My life has been like that for the past three years. And you know what I hated the most?

I hate myself.

I hate myself dahil kahit ilang years na yung nagdaan, ilang babae na yung nagdaan-- Ganito pa rin ako ka affected when it comes to her.

I hate myself dahil kahit anong gawin ko I can't hate her.

I can't bring myself to hate Alyssa Valdez.

*********
AN: Oo nga. Why do some people hate someone like Alyssa Valdez? I really don't get those people.

Anyway, Thanks For the read again.
I know the chapters are short. Bawi ako sa next.

Vote rin kayo. 😃☺😃
