Complicated Goddess [COMPLETED]

Chapter 26: Kyle

Kyle Zedrick's Point Of View

"Restroom lang ako, una ka na?"

"You sure?"

Tumango naman siya. Mukhang balisa pa siya at parang hindi mapakali pero hinayaan ko na lang. I don't want to be a clingy boyfriend to her--- I mean, even if she thinks that this is all just a fake relationship, lahat ng bagay, siniseryoso ko lalo na pagdating sa kanya.

I headed back to our classroom. Lunch break na pala. Wala nang tao, except na lang sa lalaking nakalunok ng megaphone. Tss.

"Saan ka ba galing ha? Nasaan si Katsumi? Bakit hindi mo kasama? May nangyari bang masama sa kanya? Huy Zed bakit niyo ko iniwan kanina? Saan ba talaga kayo pumunta?"

"Shut up Zeki. You're not a reporter so stop interrogating me."

Ang ingay talaga nito. Pasalamat siya at bestfriend ko siya.

Bestfriend ko ba talaga siya? I mean, we're exactly the opposite of one another! Tss. I guess it's true that opposites really do attract. I'm silent and he's... well he seems normal. Being noisy is his way of being normal.

"Grabe naman besprend, nag aalala lang ako. So, what happened?"

"None of your business." then I stared at him.

"Chill ka lang diyan bro. Kailangan pa bang ipasok kita sa loob ng freezer para makapagchill ka lang ha? Ay oo nga pala, mas malamig ka pala sa freezer"

I stared at him once again but to no avail. Hindi talaga siya tinatamaan ng titig ko kahit anong gawin ko. Kung ibang tao lang siguro ang kaharap ko, malamang natakot na pero siya, walang effect.

"Dude, alam mo naman na sanay na ko diyan sa ginagawa mo. What are friends for right?" Tapos inakbayan niya ako. Hilig mang-akbay eh. Tinapik ko naman yun.

"Huwag ka kasing ganyan Zed. Kaya never ka pang nagkaroon ng girlfriend eh."

"I have Katsumi"

"But she's not your girlfriend dude. You're just faking your relationship."

"She is. Go ask her then if you don't believe me"

"No. I know she's not really your girlfriend, Zed. Bestfriend mo ako but you didn't even tell me that she's your childhood sweetheart. You only made that deal with her because you wanted her to know the truth and mess with her head. Para iwan na niya talaga si Terrence. I've been calculating the whole situation, Zed. Mahal niya parin si Terrence and there's nothing you can do about it"

I dunno why but I punched him. Damn this bestfriend of mine. How did he knew all along?

"Alam mo, kung titingnan sa point of view ng iba, baka ikaw ang kontrabida sa buhay nila Zed. Specifically sa love story ni Terrence at ni Katsumi. Tinalo mo pa si Corinne. Do you really want to ruin them?" he said while wiping the blood from the side of his mouth. Buti na lang at wala pa si Katsumi at wala na rin masyadong students. Ini-lock ko muna yung pinto ng clasroom namin. Umupo siya sa teacher's table at umupo naman ako sa armchair sa harap niya.

I thought for a while now. Ako naman talaga dapat ang para sa kanya eh. Soulmates kami. From the very start, ako ang pinakaunang lalaki na naunang nagkagusto sa kanya. Ako dapat ang makakatuluyan niya sa ending... dapat ako. And I will make sure that it would just be me till the end-- just the two of us.

"How did you know?" I asked out of curiousity.

Inilabas niya yung cellphone niya at pinarinig sa akin yung record. It feels like nandun talaga siya sa scene nung time na yun. Paano niya iyon nakuha?

"Why are you even here Corinne? Get lost, okay? Huwag mo namang sirain yung third monthsary namin ni Zandy. You know how much I love her right? One year akong naghirap para sa kanya at wala na tayo two years ago pa. Can't you just move on and get a life? Just accept the fact that we are not meant for each other"

"Louie, I still love you. Please come back to me"

"But I don't want to get involved with you again, Corinne. We're Over. Mahal ko si Katsumi higit pa sa lahat. Alin ba doon ang hindi mo maintindihan?"

"Louie I just realized that I couldn't live without you"

"Corinne, dalawang taon. Dalawang taon na ang nakakalipas at andiyan ka sa harap ko ngayon. Buhay ka pa,  Corinne. Himihinga ka pa. Huwag mo naman gawing excuse yan kasi mabubuhay ka nang mabubuhay na wala ako sa tabi mo. Gagawin ko ang lahat ng gusto mo, pero sana di na to makarating kay katsumi. Ayaw kong nakikita niya tayo. Ayokong isipin niya na niloloko ko siya at hinding hindi ko siya lolokohin "

"Lahat? you mean, Everything I ask for?"

"Oo lahat!! basta hindi masaktan si katsumi at hindi siya mapahamak! Mahal ko siya Corinne, mahal na mahal. Kaya kong mag sakripisyo para sa kanya."

"Okay then, break up with her and be mine. It's very simple isnt it?"

"Pero....."

"Ayaw mo? Fine, Let's just see what will hapen to your lovey dovey, do you want to see her dead? Alam mo naman ata na Mafia ang pamilya ko. And the goons out there will be watching behind her back getting ready to shoot at their prey. It's your choice Louie, break up with her? or loose her?"

"Fine. I will do it, for the sake of Katsumi."

"You did a great choice Louie. You're mine again."

"Ginawa ko na ang gusto mo pero sana di na 'to malaman ni Katsumi. Lalayuan ko na siya katulad ng sinabi mo, Just to tell you honestly, I did this for her, Don't assume that I will love you again just the same way as the last time."

I just can't believe this crap. Wala na yung plano ko. Tapos na. Am I already too late for her?

"Sisirain mo pa ba sila ha? Hindi mo ba ico-consider ang nararamdaman ni Katsumi? Alam mo ba kung ilang beses ko siyang nakikita na umiiyak nang dahil kay Terrence? Hindi niya lang alam na nandun ako lagi. Fuck, if you're there Zed, you'll also feel the torture. Gustong gusto niyang malaman ang totoo kung bakit siya iniwan na wala man siyang kaalam alam! Alam mo, kilalang kilala kita eh. Lahat ng gusto mo nakukuha mo. But not this time, Zed."

Nagplay pa siya ng isang record. And this time, yun yung usapan namin ni Katsumi. Yung time na nagkaroon kami ng deal about sa fake relationship namin.

"Zed its up to you. Isipin mo muna kung tama yung ginawa mo. Alam ni Katsumi na makakatulong sa kanya yung deal niyo para malaman niya ang totoo pero ano? Gusto mo lang na mapalapit siya sayo!"

He really knows me so well.

"I don't get it. I just wanted to be with the girl I like and what's wrong with that, huh? Could I just be happy for myself?"

"Ang selfish mo talaga Kyle Zedrick Lim. Ano nang desisyon mo ngayon Zed? I'm just a one way ticket para magkabalikan sila ni Terrence. Ako ang susi para malaman ng babaeng gusto mo na hindi siya niloko ng ex niya at ako din ang susi para malaman ni Louie na wala naman talagang kayo ni Katsumi."

"Damn you, Zeki. You're messing up with my plans. Are you really my bestfriend?"

"Oh yes, that's me. But I would like to clarify something, Zed. Hinding hindi ko yun sasabihin kay Katsumi dahil isa rin ako sa karibal ni Louie.  I hate to say this but, I'm sorry Zed, I am also a rival. I like the girl you like and I don't care.  Hindi ko naman alam na siya pala yun. Bakit? Kahit isang beses ba nung kinukwento mo siya sa akin, pinakita mo yung picture niya? Hindi naman,.diba? I saw her crying on their monthsary that day, I just liked her the first time I saw her. Masama ba? It's all a damn coincidence."

I punched him again. Nakalimutan kong bestfriend ko siya. How could he do this to me?

I was about to throw another punch at him when the door opened.

"Totoo ba yung lahat ng yun?"

Great. Just great. Another piece of shit.
