"I love you."

Bhryle quickly got off his motorbike and took my arms.

He leaned to kiss me.

It was so fast that he grabbed me by my cheek and is flawlessly staring at me directly.

"You can't kiss me," I said as I turned my head.

He frowned, "I thought you said—"

I just looked at him.

"Else..."

That name sounds good if it is him.

"I love you but I love Novel more."

His forehead creased.

He is so confused.

"I'll kiss you, Else. And I can make your confusion go away. Just tell me when"

Napailing ako.

"Are you playing with me?"

I cut him off.

"No. I don't think this is a game but I know that I love you."

"As a friend." He ended the sentence.

Napatingala ako.

He touched my cheeks.

"I know you love me back more than I know but you just won't admit it." He said.

I got scared.

What am I doing?

"Novel-" I said but he cuts me off.

"Novel again. Novel before. Novel now. Novel always." He said. "Novel didn't even look for you twice." He emphasized the word 'twice'. "He can't save you, Else. He just can't prove his own self to you. You never learn."

He got into his motorbike again and drove away.

Left me standing outside their house.

I cried as the rain dripped on my face.

I saw a car stopped in front of me.

I saw Dr. James got out from it.

He took me inside.

He made me feel warm.

But his son has given me enough cold, I just froze deep inside.

I didn't talk much when Dr. James took care of me for hours.

I slept again and again and he figured I have a fever that I have to stay with for a while.

I forgot where I left my phone or maybe I have never brought it with me since yesterday.

Nakakaramdam ako ng pagkaka-miss kay Novel.

But I am so lost.

What am I fucking doing?

Can I call him?

We were already settled.

Bakit ang complicated?

I loved Bhryle to be with me.

I wanted to address him as my best friend.

Someone I love that I would never lose.

I want to protect him too.

And the word came out of my mouth for who Bhryle really is for me.

"Family," I whispered to myself.
