This Unexpected Love

Chapter 10

Confrontation

"You're married?!" I immediately pulled my hand back. Oh no. Anong sasabihin ko? Nagpa-panic na ko. I really don't know what to say. I looked at the other students and thankful that they didn't hear Aly. I sighed.

"I'll explain later. Come with me please." I said at hinila ko na siya paalis ng school at dinala si Aly sa Starbucks, Trinoma which is 20 minutes travel from our school. As soon as we got our order ay umupo kame and staring at our orders.

"I guess you can start explaining." She said and when I look at her, she's looking at me intently. Ba't ba ko kinakabahan. Calm down Denise. Promise, after this no one else can know about your biggest secret. Trust Aly. You just need to trust her that she'll never tell anyone.

"Yes, I'm married..." And I told her everything. And her face, her reaction was so shocked. Sino ba namang di masho-shock kung malaman mong secretly married pala ang kaibigan mo sa isang hottest and youngest yet succesful bachelor dito and Kevin's also popular pala in the business world.

"I just can't believe that Kevin Lopez Kram is already married. I mean, walang-wala sa hitsura niyang kasal na siya. He looks hot, very hot." Kinilig pa siya sa sinabe niya at agad ulit sumeryoso at napatingin saken.

"But wait... You told me, kasal lang kayo sa papel and you don't love each other cos you... You love somebody else and you're on the stage of moving on, right?" She asked and I slowly nod. I sighed dahil may namumuo na namang luha from my eyes just because of remembering him.

"I left someone for this arranged marriage. I left the man who loved and give importance to my life for so long time. He tried his best na hindi niya ko masaktan, he's my protector. Siya ang safe haven ko. But I left him. In just a blink I hurt him, so much." I cried and Aly patted my back. Remembering everything brings back all the pain like it was just yesterday. And I feel like tearing apart. Josiah got my heart.

Aly comforted me and after half hour we decided to go cos it's getting late.

"Thank you for trusting me with your biggest secret Denise. Promise, tagong-tago saken yon. Basta pag may problema ka, I'm just here okay? Keep that in mind Denise, I'm always here for you." Then we say goodbye to each other at umuwi na kame.

When I reached my room ay agad nag-beep ang phone ko and it was a text message from Mama.

From: Mama
Denise, anak. How are you? Tell me kung hindi mo na kaya anak, mommy will try to do something.

Napailing ako pagkabasa ko ng text message from Mama. No, I already agreed. And I know my dad, when someone breaks his plans or rules, surely he'll do something. At ayaw kong madamay si Mama. As I said, Kevin and I needs to pretend, para walang ibang madamay siguro.

To: Mama
Ma. Kevin and I are absolutely fine. Okay na kame Ma so don't worry. I'll visit you next time Ma, pag di na po ako busy sa school works.

Lies. I can't believe na kaya ko ng magsinungaling kay Mama ngayon just because of this situation. I don't wanna be the cause of my mom's sadness, I only want to be the source of my mom's happiness, not her sadness.

It's the first day of school for our last semester. Ohgosh. This sem na ang OJT ko and other thesis. And this semester will surely be my busy year. Siyempre I need to work hard and achieve my goals in life. Marami ng nagbago just after summer vacation before this last sem. I get to be close with Kevins's parents. Kevin and I? Were okay, nag-uusap na kame kahit papaano minsan.
Aly and I became really close, were bestfriends! And I get to have many friends here in Southcrest but there's only one thing that never changed, even a bit.

I still love Jos. I never stopped and I don't know why I can't move on. I'm still longing for him. Though 3 months ko na siyang di nakikita, and it feels like its already 30 years lalo na't we don't have any communications. I feel so insane. May bago na kaya siya? Did he already moved on? Or does he still love me? Ugh. Enough of this Denise, let Josiah go. Set him free. Umiling ako at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad papuntang caf dahil dun kami magkikita ni Aly kase gagala kame, wala namang klase kase first day.

"Ay ano ba yan bruha ang tagal mo ha, late ka sa kitaan schedule natin!" Sabi ni Aly at nag-pout pa ang loka. Tinignan ko ang orasan ko at napakunot ng noo sabay baling ulit ng tingin kay Aly.

"Sorry bruha ha, sorry kung 2 minutes late lang ako" sabi ko emphasizing 2 minutes. Babaeng to talaga kahit kelan ayaw ng male-late.

"Aba siyempre. Pinapahalagahan ang oras no, kase nga time is gold. Che! Tara na nga. At dahil late ka ng 2 minutes lilibre mo ko!" She said at tumango nalang ako at pumunta na kame ng mall and spent our day there.
