Trust me when I say I do

Chapter 3

Paps, I'll go ahead , Lau will be waiting for me sa starbucks eh. Wanna join us or my date kyo ni Trinca? Von said while fixing his bag.

Thanks, Paps. Pauwi na din in a while,nangungulit si Trinca, and I'm not in the mood to go out.

Paps, seryoso kna ba kya Trinca? Na out grow mo na ba yung feelings mo kay......

Von, Kief pauwi na ba kyo? 

Yes coach, both of them replied.

Okay, ingat kyo ha.

Go ahead Von, stop thinking. Nakaksira ng utak yan.

Whatever, Kiefer, Whatever. Sige na.

Kief, closed his car door and start the engine. Okay, Kiefer, san ka uuwi? Sa Condo? Sa Cainta? or sa Katip? Ofcourse sa katip, not in my condo bka pumunta dun si Trinca and I don't wanna hear her tantrums. Not in Cainta, mom will definitely looking for Alyssa. Hay, best asan kba? walang paramdam for 6 months, tatag mo ha.

Traffic as usual, "maybe this time" a song from his car stereo, he can't help but reminisce how he and Alyssa became friends.

Both of them were rookie and had to do something in the athletes night. He approached Alyssa to dance salsa with him. They both don't know the steps, also Alyssa doesn't know how to dance, kaya lagi syang natatapakan. Which earned sigawan from the crowd. From then on they became best of friends. Actually, mas sya ang nangungulit kay Alyssa.

He remembers, the first time he brought Alyssa home her mom and dani instantly liked no more on love Alyssa. Sometimes he got jealous because they spent more time with Aly than him.

Some instances, when they hear mass and had dinner after. Hindi sya pinapansin ng family nya, si Aly lang ang kinakausap. Para mapansin sya, he shouts "I'm the first born here, why nobody talks to me". Hello people ako po at hindi sya, pointing to Alyssa, ang anak nyo. Na tinawanan lang sya.

Seriously Kiefer, pinagseselosan mo si Alyssa?

Eh kse naman mom, sya nalang lagi eh, dito naman ako eh. Oi, best I'm your best friend here, you should stay beside me and not them huh.

She easily gets along with my friends no matter who they are.

They both graduated and had their own career but their closseness never stops. He focused in PBA, while Alyssa joined different leagues in and out of the country.

They maybe don't have constant exchange of text, calls, viber but once they started parang wala ng bukas.

He had many girlfriends, endless line of barbie dolls as per his mom. Alyssa, yeah with Jovee, for 3 years now. What does Jovee have that makes Alyssa stayed with him.

Nagbalik lang sya sa kasalukuyan ng marining nya yung busina sa likod nya. Go na pala.

Hi Kiefer, nag senti ka nanaman....

Pagkababa nya sa car, suddenly his phone rings. It's Trinca, Yes Trincs?

Honey, where are you? I'm here in your condo. Be here fast, I don't wanna stand long here sa labas ng unit mo. I told you kse give me spare key so that I can easily got inside pag wala ka pa.

Trincs, honey, I told kanina diba, I won't be there, ndi ako uuwi dyan ngaun kse mag di-dinner kme ng mga college buddies ko.

Sama mo nalang ako. Please honey, I wanna be with you tonight.

Honey, as much as I want to be with you too, I can't, boys gathering to. Ma o-OP kalang fore sure and ma bo-bore ka lang.

Eh di wag ka ng pumunta dyan, samahan mo nalang akong mag shopping. I heard my bagong labas na new model yung channel.

Hello, Trincs? Trincs, honey dyan ka pa ba? Oh shoot, chappy na yung line hindi kita marinig. Honey will call you later nalang ha. Bye.

Lies Kiefer, lies....never ending lies

Another phone call.....

Yes mom? San ka Kief? Dito na daddy mo sabi nya maaga daw natapos practice nyo. Answering machine lang sumasagot sa unit mo. Asan ka ba anak? Come here anak, I'll cook your favorite dish. Also, anak naka usap mo na ba si Aly?

That's the reason why, I don't wanna go home mom, he whispers.

Anak, you're saying something? Ang hina ng dating mo eh, can you please repeat what did you just said?

Mom, sabi ko I can't go home pagod na po ako besides nag dinner nko sa labas kumain kme ni Von. Save your dish next time. I'll let you know when. And by the way mom, sa katip ako matutulog. Malapit lang kse yung kinainan namin ni Von sa katip.

Ganun ba anak,  o sya sige magpahinga ka nalang agad pag uwi mo ha. I'll try to visit you there and bring you breakfast. Bye Kief, love you anak.

Bye mom. Love you too! And yeah please bring me breakfast tomorrow.

Lies Kiefer, Lies.....pati ba naman sa.mommy mo nagsisinungaling ka.

Eh kse naman hahanapin nanaman nya si Alyssa, eh hindi ko nga alam kung nakauwi na ba yun.

Why do I have a habit of talkingto myself?

Mom really wanted to see Alyssa and so am I.

I'll call nalang Ella, bka sya may update magkasama naman sila sa unit.

Dialing Ella's number......

Hello Kief, bat napatawag ka? I'm here in Bacolod for PVL.

I see, besh ask ko lang nakauwi na ba.from Taipei si Ly? Nami-miss na kse ni Mommy eh.

Si Tita Mozzy or Ikaw?

Pwede both? he chuckled

Yes, dito na si besh kaninang morning lang sya dumating, bukas mo na tawagan for sure tulog na yun.

Really, tignan mo yang taong yan. Dumating na pala't lahat hindi man lang ako tinawagan or kahit text man lang.

Ella whispers, may pinagdadaanan si besh, Kief.

Ano Ells, ndi ko na gets?

Sabi ko I have to go na tinatawag nko ni coach. Tom mo nalang tawagan si besh, bye Kief.

Bye besh, thank you.

Hay, Alyssa masyado kang pamiss ha.

He went to elevator and press his designated floor.

As he stepped out, suddenly he feels something he can't identified.

Huh, bakit kya anong meron last week lang naman andito din ako ah.

Before he put the key in, He looks on his both sides to check if there's someone. And nung wala syang makita. He turn the key, and shoot ang bilis bumukas.

Why? I made sure naka lock to ng maayos the last time I was here. Mom doesn't have a key here.

Pumasok sya ng dahan dahan then naalala nya na may binigyan sya ng spare key.

As he look around his condo, hindi nga sya nag kamali.
