Keeping a secret love | Juan Gomez de Liano

Kabanata 4

I sat in the sea shore. Wala akong paki kahit mabasa yung suot ko.

I can't believe na nandito ako sa part ng buhay ko na 'to, na yung taong akala ko magbibigay saya sa akin siya rin pala yung mag bibigay ng lungkot sa'kin.

"Kae, you're not happy with the surprise?" Juan asked.

"Haaa, you bet. I'm so happy Juan. I just can't believe on what I'm feeling right now."

"Ha? You're hiding something Kae. I noticed it since we arrived here."

"No, I wasn't hiding anything. It's in the code."

Sorry Juan...

Then he tickles me.

"Aaaahhhh! Ju....aaaaan. Stop please. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, juaaaaaaaan."

"You'll say the truth?" He asked.

"Yes." I answered, siguro para matapos na lahat to I need this.

"Okay, spill the tea."

"Uhhhm, Juan... I think.... I-i'm falling..."

Then his phone ring.

"What is it Kaela?" He said while he's looking at his phone.

"Nothing, answer your phone."

"But..."

"No buts Juan." Sorry, my bestfriend...

He answer his phone.

"Hi babe, we're seeing sunset now. Say hi to Kaela."

"Hi Kaela, Happy birthday!" Juls says.

"Thank you, Julie. Bat 'di ka sumama?" I asked.

Half-hearted question is it?

"I'm having photoshoots for my birthday. That's why, you should enjoy your company with Juan." She said.

"Great!" Me waving at her at the cellphone.

Juan said goodbye to the call.

"Hey, Kaela. What did you say earlier?" He's asked while looking at his phone

"Nothing, Juan. Thanks for making this one memorable." Because I'm still hurting kahit alam ko ng wala naman dapat ikasakit to. Best friend mo Kaela ha. Really?

Maybe everything was really not meant for me.

There's no such thing as perfect as the sunset, what I'm seeing right now. Is a beautiful masterpiece above.

I just wish that I could stop this feeling because it is unhealthy.

I'm slowly drowning. Helpless and tired.

I just saw myself walking, going to the sea..

"Hey, kae!" Juan called me.

But I refuse to look back..
