Secretly In Love with Him [Completed]

Chapter 12

KIEFER’S POV

NEWS:
‘Brent Rodriguez  won the Asian Soccer Olympics this day, he said on the interview,
“ I was inspired today because my brother, Jay ‘Gel’ Rodriguez cheered for me..” [the photo of his brother: click below]’

Jay ‘Gel’ Rodriguez?  Nagulat ako sa nabasa kong article, actually nakaramdam ako ng kaba nung nabasa ko yung Gel, actually, when I searched their family background, walang lumabas na present picture ni Jay, so when I clicked the photo…. I cried…

Kiefer: Gel? Bakit di siya nagsasabi saken? Kasama ko na pala ang matagal ko ng hinahanap, nasa tabi ko na pala di ko napansin?

Sophia: what are doing?

I was startled when she appeared of nowhere, sinara ko agad laptop ko,

Kiefer: n-nothing, business matter,

Sophia: wait, are you crying?

Kiefer: no I’m not, nag breakfast ka na?

Sophia: di pa, tara na, kain na tayo, naghihintay na sina Gel sa dining room,

Kiefe: s-sure

Pagbaba naming, I saw Gel tying Eyven’s hair.. then he looked at me,

Gel: oh, anjan na pala, let’s dig in!

Sophia: by the way, Ven? Wanna go shopping?

Ven: sure

Sophia: rain wanna come with us?

Rain: like that,

Sophia: good! Sorry boys, just the three of us will go,

Gel: okay, ingatan mo lang si Ven, di mo kilala daddy neto,

Sophia: don’t worry sir!

Rain: Kiefer, tahimik mo?

Kiefer: huh? Drive? Where?

Rain: huh? Okay fine, I get it, wala ka sa sarili mo,

Actually, pinagmamasdan ko si Gel, I have this mixed emotions towards him kasi ehh, nalulungkot ako kasi namiss ko siya, nagagalit ako kasi di siya nagsasalita..

After naming kumain, umalis na yung tatlo para mag-shopping, I and Gel went to the sea side..

Kiefer: Jay,

He stopped walking soon as he heard me call his name, then he faced me,

Gel: haha, so you knew? How? When?

Kiefer: kaninang umaga, you’re brother talked about you,

Gel: I see

Kiefer: why? Why did you hide your identity? Bakit di ka nagsabi saken? I have been searching for you,

Gel: I’m sorry, I have my own reason,

Kiefer: tell me one reason, then I won’t ask anymore

Gel: because I love Eyven, not as a friend but as a woman she is,

Though I am confused, di nako nagtanong ulit, maybe he had his deeper reson for hiding his identity to me, so I just let it go, but..

Kiefer: can I punch you?

Gel: huh?

Kiefer: a ten-year worth of punch,

Gel: w-w-wait!

We continued walking in the sea side and chat all we want, reminiscing memories of the past and etc. after 3 hours, the shopping girls arrived and we approached them to carry the bags of groceries,

Gel: Kei, Rain’s not straight,

Kiefer: woah, how can you tell?

Gel: I just knew it, kaya panatag ako kahit niyayakap yakap niyan si Ven,

Kiefer: haha, for me it doesn’t matter kung anong lahi pa yan, as long as he’s kind,

Gel: yeah right,

Ven: Gel! Kiefer! Patulong!

Gel: coming!

What an overflowing joy I have right now, all is well, isa nalang hahanapin ko, si Eyven Nichol.
