While I was reviewing my lessons, I felt my phone vibrated. I took it and saw kurt calling.
"hello?"
"can I come over?"
"Sure, where are you na ba?"
then someone knocked on my door, and when I opened it, I saw kurt standing there. I ended the call.
"what brings you here kuku?" I said with a smile. he came in and sat on my bed. "It's nice to see you too!" I said sarcastically and followed him to my bed.
"I have to tell you something!" he said. "uh-huh. so what is it?" I asked. "it's very important!" he said. "yeah! obviously, bigla ka ngang napasugod dito eh. so what is it na nga?"
"kuya dave, still loves you. I think na he just made imbento the whole cheating thing. kasi I heard him say na, he did that so you could focus sa studies mo, I'm not sure huh, but I told him to talk to you and by the looks of it, I think He will. so I'm here to tell you na, please listen to him. You know I hate kuya dave for hurting you, but just give him a chance to explain. okay?" tuloy tuloy niyang sabi.
dahil sa sobrang bilis niya magsalita, wala akong ibang naintindihan sa sinabi ni kurt kundi,
he still loves you..
he still loves you..
he still loves you..
he still loves you..
loves you..
loves you
loves you
you..
you..
you..
paulit-ulit na nag-replay sa utak ko yun. at biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko, parang may karera ng mga kabayo sa bilis. hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman ko, should I be happy kasi he still loves me? or should I be mad kasi he cheated on me even though he loves me.
"sige fifi, I'll go na, we have a long test pa tomorrow. I should study na. ikaw din ha? pataasan tayo." kurt said as he interrupted my thoughts. I just nodded at him.
after kurt left, I was walking in circles when ate came knocking. "hey sis.." she paused, "whoa, di kaba nahihilo?"
okay, okay, I should tell him that I forgive him kahit na niloko niya ako. no, no, no sofia! that's stupid! you should slap him for being an ass! kulang nga yung sampal, e. sakalin mo pa dapat siya!
"sis? mag-bbake ako ng cupcakes, I thought maybe I could use an extra hand?"
sabi niya sayo mahal ka niya diba? well if that's so, dapat di ka niya dapat niloko. but you love him sofia diba? kaya you'll forgive him no matter what. no sofia! you better study your lessons na kasi tomorrow, my long test kayo dapat kang 0 if you want to graduate with honor. My inner voices we debating, till ate said, "okay, I guess your busy. but if you change your mind, I'll be at the kitchen baking you favorite Oreo cupcake."
wait what? Oreo? then I felt my tummy groaned. "wait, tama ba narinig ko? Oreo?" I asked, she nodded "yup!" she smiled "I'm starving! let's get started!" then we both went to the kitchen.

"ate, can I ask you something?" I asked as I sat on the stool, she
nodded as she was preparing the ingredients. "did Darwin ever tried to win you back?" I asked, she froze at my question but immediately calm her self then nodded. "what happened?" I asked.
"masyado akong nasaktan sofia, he apologized after 6months kung kailan naka move on na ako, kung kailan okay na ako. if he was sincere, dapat kinausap niya ako after ko siyang mahuli, maybe napatawad ko pa siya. but 6months is long enough. I couldn't risk being hurt again, ayoko na. you saw how miserable I was didn't you? natakot ako na baka maulit ulit yun at masaktan ako ulit. di ko rin naman siya masisisi kung bakit sobra ako nasaktan, sobra ko diba kasi siyang mahal, at siguro masyado akong nagpadala sa mga pangako Niya.
"na one day when we're both stable, bubuo kami ng sarili naming pamilya, magpapatayo kami ng sarili naming bahay, kahit hindi malaki basta sarili namin. but promises are meant to be broken nga sabi nila. kasi nung araw na masayang masaya ako para sabihin sakanyang magiging daddy na siya, yun na din yung araw na nawala silang pareho saakin."
nanlaki ang mata ko sa narinig ko, at napansin ni ate yung. I saw din na teary eye na siya. "yes you heard me right! nabuntis ako, mom and dad kept it a secret para hindi ako kutyain ng mga tao." she said, kaya pala sobrang protective sila daddy saakin, ayaw nilang maulit saakin ang nangyari kay ate. "what happened to your baby ate?" I asked.
"nakunan ako the day na nahuli ko siya, sa sobrang galit ko di ko napansin yung sasakyan, nabangga ako. lalo akong nagalit sakanya, I never had a chance to hear my baby cry or laugh, ni hindi ko man lang nasilayan ang mukha niya." she begun crying.
nilapitan ko siya at inakap, I felt sad din, dapat pala my baby boy or girl na si ate. "sofia, the moment na pinakilala mo si Dave saakin, Tutol na ako." she sighed heavily, "natakot ako na baka mangyari sayo ang nangyari saakin, kaya nga when you fainted, kinabahan ako."
"Sofia, Dave is Darwin's brother."
