Chapter 3

Kathryn’s POV

 

*I was standing in the corridor when someone approached me. I looked and saw his brown eyes looking directly at me. That gaze makes me feel like I’m melting. He touched and caressed my cheek. He kissed my forehead and then started to speak. “Kath, I have to tell you something.” He was very serious.

 

“What is it?” I told him and held his hand. I can feel that he is tensed.

 

“You know that I love you right?” I just nodded. “I am thankful that I have you to love me. You’ve been very sweet and caring and accepted me for who I am. Thank you for being there for me when I am happy or sad. We’ve shared a lot of moments and I will always remember that. Thank you for being my girlfriend, I was the happiest guy when you told me that you also love me. But...” I can see in his eyes that he was sad and about to cry. I suddenly felt afraid of what he was about to say.

 

“But what? You know you’re scaring me. Is there a problem?”

 

“But I have to break up with you.” Is he joking? But from the look on his face, it seems like he is really serious. I felt like something was stabbing my chest.

 

“You..you what?! You’re breaking up with me? Why? Did I do something wrong? Please tell me.” I couldn’t help my tears from falling as I was saying this.

 

He looked away. “No Kath, you’ve been so good to me. I can’t tell you the reason why I’m doing this but please remember that I love you. Don’t ever forget that.” I couldn’t speak. I have nothing to say to him. I just hugged him tight and begged him not to do this. He let go of the hug, kissed me on my lips hard, turned around and walked away.

 

I was left there standing, crying my heart out. I can’t stop the tears and the pain in my chest becomes more and more as I watched him getting further.*

 

Nagising ako na tumutulo ang luha ko at nakahawak ako sa aking dibdib. Bakit napanaginipan ko na naman yung nangyari na yun? Parang bumabalik ulit yung sakit na naramdaman ko ng araw na iniwan niya ako. Until now, it is a mystery for me kung bakit niya na lang ako iniwan basta-basta. Masama ang loob ko at galit ako dahil hindi niya man lang nakuhang sabihin sa akin ang dahilan. Eto na naman ako ngayon, nakaupo sa kama ko at umiiyak. I wiped my tears and went to the balcony. Kelangan ko lang siguro makalanghap ng fresh air para kumalma ako. Breathe in...breathe out. Biglang nagring yung phone ko.

My Bes Julia calling :)...

“Hello?” sinagot ko yung phone.

“Good morning bes!”

 

“Bakit ka napatawag? Ang aga aga pa oh.”
