Beautiful Mystery

Chapter 1



"Are you sure your not gonna come with us baby?" Mom asked. She wanted me to come with them in an organic farm to stay in a rest house for a week.

“Yeah Mom, me and Kyle will just stay at home since you're with Tito Ken and Tita Iza rin naman. ”

"Speaking of Kyle, Aren't you two dating?" I flinched at that.

"No mom. What kind of questions is that? We're just friends. Saka Kyle already likes someone else."

"Sayang naman, I just thought that you two would look good as a couple. You know since you've been together since you were kids."

Napa isip naman ako sa sinabi ni Mom. Actually, I have Feeling's for Kyle. We were friends since we were little because my parents and his parents are very close friends. I actually didn't realize that I have feeling's for him not until highschool came. When he talks to me about this girl he likes and when I see him with someone else I feel pain in my chest. I got jealous, pero pinigilan ko na ang nararamdaman ko, kase alam kong wala akong pag asa sa kaniya. Kaibagan lang talaga ang tingin niya sakin.

"But do you atleast like him? Or sa tingin mo may chance ba na magka tuluyan kayo?" She asked with a slight of home on her tone.

"I like him as a friend. What we have is a special friendship and what we have will stay as it is." I briefly replied. I felt heavy as I said those words. I know that a part of me was against my statement. I wished that we could be more than the special friendship I call. But only wishes come true in fairytales and my life ain't fiction. How I wish we could be something more, but since fairytales in the life I live in doesn't exist, it will just remain as a hanging wish. If only fairytales exist, maybe there would be a big chance for my wish to come true. But still, my wish wouldn't be worth it of his love for me is just a product of magic. If magic really did exist, I would still choose to let him decide for his own feelings. I don't want forced feelings that's caused my manipulation. It's likely a fraud. I've come to accept that in reality there is no magic or enchanted place where we could date. The real thing here is Kyle wouldn't love me the way I do. He has no feelings for me and just perceive me as his sister.

"Ok as you say so—" Mom was cut off by an approaching voice.

"Jennyca?" That means the Sylveria's are here.

"Yeah over here, at the kitchen." Mom responded.

"So are you guy's ready? Let's go?" Bungad ni Tita Iza pag pasok niya sa kitchen.

"Yeah, let's go andun na si Simon sa Kotse." Mom stood up.

Nagkuwentohan silang dalawa palabas ng kitchen hanggang sa naka labas na sila sa bahay kaya sumunod lang ako.

I saw Tito and Dad with Kyle infront of the car.

"Boy's let's go." Tita enthusiastically spoke. They turned their heads on our way. Kyle's gaze met mine. I immediately looked away and catched up with mom since they were a bit further than me.

"Kyle, you better take care of my daughter alright? She's our princess. Lagot ka sakin pag may mangyaring masama sa baby namin. Di na tayo bati." Banta ni Dad.

"Opo Tito ako pong bahala." Kyle chuckled and so as everyone else, except me. It feels like they always treet me like a kid. I can already handle myself since I'm old enough.
