My Make-Believe Boyfriend College Hottie Series : Bobby and Ashley

Chapter 49 : Kate From Bobby's Past

BOBBY

MATAGAL NANG NAKA-PARK ang sasakyan ko sa malaking open parking space ng Santa Clara Medical Hospital ay hindi pa rin ako bumababa ng sasakyan.

Nagdadalawang-isip ako kung pupuntahan ko ba si Kate ngayon o bukas na lang.

O hindi na.

I was having second thoughts.

I was curious to see Kate and know what happened to her. But I was having second thoughts because I knew my Gracie did not like it.

Hindi ko siya gustong bigyan ng mga bagay na ikakagulo ng isipan niya. O dahilan ng pagkairita niya. O marahil ng magiging dahilan ng pag-aaway namin.

I did not want to do that to my Gracie. No fucking way.

Mahirap para sa akin kapag nag-aaway kami ni Gracie. It was an emotional burden. Hindi ko kaya.

Mas gusto ko ang nangungulit siya, nang-aasar, nanunukso.

Pero hindi ang nagagalit siya.

Hindi sa dahil takot ako kundi dahil nahihirapan akong makitang nalulungkot siya o nagagalit siya.

I promised her a good and happy life. I promised her a happy life with me because she makes me happy. Kaya ayokong magalit o malungkot siya sa piling ko.

She was one of the important women in my life.

But Tita Elvie kept on calling me.

Asking me-begging me to come and see Kate.

And I could not say no to her. She had been so good to me when Kate and I were still together. Para ko na rin siyang nanay kung ituring.

Nakailang tawag at text messages siya sa akin habang papunta ako sa hospital-making sure I would come to see her daughter.

I lost communication with Kate's family when Kate and I broke up.

Parang hindi na magandang maging prominente pa ako sa buhay nila gayong meron ng ibang boyfriend si Kate at meron na rin akong girlfriend. Respeto lang sa mga partners namin ni Kate.

Respeto lang kay Gracie ko.

But I thought that if would accidentally bump into them, I would approach them and give them my respects. Naging mabuti sila sa akin.

Hindi nga lang naging maganda ang break up namin ng anak nila. But I did not hold grudges to them about it.

But it did not happen. And it was going to happen now.

That is, if I get out of my car and go to Kate's room at Suite 1001. Doon daw naka-confine si Kate sabi ni Tita Elvie.

I put out my cellphone. There were several text messages from Tita Elvie asking me if I was coming tonight or not.

Napangiti ako. Sinagot ko na ang tanong niyang ito kanina. I said, yes, I was coming over to see Kate.

Pero heto at naninigurado na naman si Tita Elvie.

I also checked if there were any text messages from Gracie.

Nothing.

Gayong dati ay hindi pa ako nakakauwi ay puno na agad ng text messages ang cellphone ko.

Telling me how much she loves me, in this lifetime and the next.

Telling me how much she looks forward to seeing my smiley grin tomorrow.

Telling me how pervert, asshole and jerk of a boyfriend I am.

Telling me how much she likes to kiss my adam's apple again and again and again.
