The Perfectly Unperfect Love

Chapter 12: Genesis

Me and my dance crew are on our way to our practice place. We are all chatting and all. Relaxing ourselves before getting into dancing. We are also in a hurry because we only have a week to perfect our routine for the upcoming school competition. Also after that, I have my first stage play two weeks from now so no rest for me.

My attention is captured by my ringing phone.

That's weird. Unknown number.

I touched the green phone icon and answered it.

"Hello?" I asked with soft voice.

"Are you Cyril Gomez?!" A voice of a woman asked. I think she is angry.

"Yes? But who is this?" I asked again with curiosity. But I don't feel good about this.

"Are you my son's boyfriend?"

Oh no. It's Kale's mom. What am I gonna say? Our relationship is private. What is happening?

"Are you my Kale's boyfriend?" She asked again demanding for immediate answer.

"Yes ma'am. I am your son's boyfriend." I replied with confidence but deep inside I'm scared.

"Can you give me a favor and get away from him?!" She demanded.

Wait. What? Did she just?

"Excuse me?!" I said with higher tone than before.

"I said can you leave my son alone?! He doesn't have a future with you. He will never be happy if you stayed together."

What the hell does his woman know about me and Kale? I can't accept this.

"With all due respect ma'am. I can't do that because I love your son so much that the idea of leaving him will never be an option. And he's not happy with me? You're wrong. He is not happy when your around. Every insult. Everytime you hit him. All pain he received from you since he was a young boy. He never experienced happiness with you. You never loved him. But I love him." I said with my angry voice. I can't control myself from talking.

I then noticed my crew and their worried faces.

I smiled at them signaling everything's fine.

"I had the chance to give your son the love you never gave and I gave it. I gave to Kale the love he always wanted from the very start. I respect you ma'am for being an old woman but you giving me orders to leave my boyfriend with you and your beast husband? No way!" I shouted.

I heard a beep sound from my phone notifying the call already ended.

I looked around and my crew is starting to walk out of the ride so I started to calm myself and followed them.

After fixing our things in our place, others started their stretching. I can't dance with this burden in my heart. I will loose my focus. Then I felt my phone vibrated from my hand.

"Babe. I'll go there. I will leave my parents."

What?! Is he serious?

"Babe are you serious? How about your sister? Your school? I can give you nothing."

"Yes I am. They let me choose between them and you. I hell I care about them. You are my happiness. I chose you so they told me to leave. And I have savings. I'll find a job. So we can live together. At last. I can't wait to see you."

Oh my. Oh my. I can't believe this is happening. I'm excited of course but also scared. Is this gonna work? Oh god.

"Hey Cy! Start your stretching! We'll be starting in 5 minutes!" I heard our leader shouted.

Okay. Calm down Cy. You can do this. Everything will be perfect. This is what you wanted right? Be with him.

"Okay Aki!" I respond.

"And after that day everything changed. He slept to my apartment on the first night. Then I asked my friends if Kale can crash in their houses because he can't be with me. Others agreed and most aren't. I almost gave up and wanted him to go home but he told me everything will be fine." I ended my story to Lyn.

It's sunday and the service ended but Lyn and I decided to stay to have a small chit-chat.

After the first sunday I saw her when I went back, we've been good friends and when I figured out that she is an open-minded person, I decided to talk to her about Kale.

She accepted it. And me also. Because of this talking, she also told me about her heart-breaking story.

"So what happened after that?" She asked.

"I decided it will be less effort and money if he will stay permanently in my apartment. We created a story to tell my cousin who lives with me. Everything went fine. He is there in my first dance competition but not in my play because he had job interview back then but it's fine. We lived together. We did almost everything together." I said.

"That was sweet! Being with the one you love." Lyn commented.

"But did you know that Kale thought me to love him?" I said.

"Meaning?" Lyn asked.

"Kale is not my first love." I half-smiled.
