Beyond the Unplanned Love

Chapter 52: Fault

Chapter 52

Kiefer's POV

Kahit ano atang palusot at dahilan ang ibigay ni Denise, it wouldn't change the fact that she's completely inlove with the Jeric Fortuna. Sadyang stubborn lang siya at panay deny kasi takot siyang masaktan. But why would she be afraid to make a move if we all know that Jeric's crazy in love with her?

"Kief, lika na dito." Tawag ni Kevin sakin.

"Di, aalis nadin ako."

"Lika na dito, para namang di ka namin makakasama sa mga susunod na araw at season." Sabi ni Teng.

And of course I didn't say no. Kahit hindi basketball ang main reason kung bakit ako lumipat ng UST, I wouldn't cross out the chances that I will be working with these guys.. Hopefully.

I sat down in the empty chair where I could assume that's where Jeric sat awhile ago.

"Seryoso ka bang lumipat ka na?" Tanong ni Aljon.

"Parang ayaw mo naman ata." I forced a joke. Medyo awkward padin pag naguusap kami nito.

"Bakit? Kay Denise? Bro, alam mo namang magulo na, paguguluhin mo pa." He sounded irritated.

"Aljon." Sita ni Teng.

"Kala ko ba mahal mo si Alex? Kaya ko nga siya pinaubaya sayo diba? Kaya ko nga siya pinagkatiwala sayo eh. Tapos gagaguhin mo lang din pala." Aljon added.

"Hindi yun ganon, Aljon." I answered.

"E ano?!" He said.

I don't know why I can't form any words right now at hindi ko rin maexplain. Bakit nga ba? Tama naman siya in a point na isang malaking kaguluhan yung pagpunta ko sa UST. Hindi lang para sakin pero sa buhay ng iba.

"Bro, seryosong usapan.." Sabi ni Tata.

"..alam mong pareho ko kayong mahal ni Fort, pero.. Mahal mo ba si Denise? Siya ba yung dahilan kung bakit ka andito? Nakita ko kung pano kayo magusap kanina, at kung ako rin naman yung nasa lagay ni Fort, magwawalkout nalang din ako."

"Mahal ko si Denise, Ta." I answered.

"E bullshit ka pala eh." Sabi ni Aljon.

"Pero, iba yung pagmamahal ko sakanilang dalawa ni Alex. Kaibigan ko lang si Denise, bro. Tingin mo ba bakit siya una kong tinakbuhan pagdating ko dito? Kasi wala naman na kong pwede pang lapitan pagdating dito eh. I just can't come crashing to Alex without any plan. Para akong sumusugod sa giyera ng hindi handa. I'll take one step at a time. Mahal ko si Denise kaya I made her go. Kasi kahit ano pang pilit nyang wag tumayo at sundan si Fort kanina alam kong kating kati na yun habulin siya. You know that they're just making everything complicated, believing in others' lies when in fact they're both head over heels with each other." I told them.

"Kung mahal mo si Alex, bat andito ka pa? Why won't you make a move?" Sabi ni Kev.

"Di yun ganon kadali, bro. An abrupt move wouldn't immediately heal a deep wound, it would just cut her deeper." I told them.

Beep.

Fuck. So it's really true? Anong kagaguhan ang pumasok sa isip mo at nagawa mo kaming iwan?

To: Von Pessumal

Bro. Chill. :-) I'll explain.

From: Von Pessumal

You better. Di ka man lang ba magpapaalam sakin? :(

To: Von Pessumal

Bro, you sound like a desperate.
