Chapter 2: Mystery Unfold

When I reached the salon, I asked the staff to do what I want with my hair. She jokingly commented that the style I want wouldn't fit me. The lady positioned me at the center and there in front of me is a very big mirror. I can see my whole body and everything from the back. She went into a room and came out with the materials needed to fix my hair. As I watch her do my hair, I remembered a time when Mike was brushing my hair. We were talking about our future. We were so happy then. But that is all over now.

After an hour or two, my hair is done. I looked in the mirror and saw the new me. Still pretty(ofcourse I am) but looking agresssive, unlike before, boring. I gave the beautician tip and went out of the salon. Across the street, I saw Mike. I waved at him and he smiled. He approached me.

"Hey Kat. Looking good huh. How are you?" Really? He's asking me? Didn't he know what he did to me?

"Hey. I'm fine. Just changed my hair a little bit. Is it okay? Does it look good?" I answered him with smile on my face. I'm trying not to show my emotions.

"That's little? But yeah, looks good on you. Where are you headed?" He said, smiling back at me.

"I'm going at Anna's. Checking up on her, you know, after what happened yesterday. You?" We walk alongside the road.

"Oh yeah, that's shocking. Were you there? I'm sure you're frightened as well. I'm going to the cafe. Wanna come?" What is he trying to do? Does he want to say something?

"Sure. I still have time. I was outside waiting for them when I heard Van scream. I wasn't that afraid at all." Trying to show him I'm not the Kat he used to know. I'm more... matured and strong.

"Oh really? So you changed a bit. Good for you." He said, looking at me. I just smiled. When we came to the cafe house, he ordered the both of us latte and we're seated outside.

"Uhm, Kat. About what happened before. Uhm. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I admit, it's my mistake. I was really a fool not listening to you. I was just mad and jealous and all. I hope you forgive me." His face became serious. And he looks sincere. I loved him and I forgive him.

"It's been two months Mike. Yes, I was hurt, really hurt but I've learned to move on. I'm over it. I just have one question." I explained to him.

"Yeah?"

"When did you find out the truth? And why didn't you talked to me or just even replied to my messages? I want to know." I held his hand hoping to get a reasonable answer.

"I was... afraid. I found it out two weeks after but I was to ashamed and weak to talk to you. I've hurt you and I know you're having a hard time coping with it. I'm really sorrt Kat." He touched my cheek and wiped my tear.

"It's in the past. We just gotta let go and go on with our lives. Atleast we have a proper closure and we can be friends, right?" I was really naive to tell him that.

"Yeah ofcourse." He pulled his hand away and I rolled my eyes.

"By the way, how are you and the new guy? I see you're a bit close." Mike wondered.

"Me and him? We just met and became friends. That's all." Trying to hide that I'm crushing on Dwayne. It will be awkward if he knew.

"Yeah? He's name is Dwayne Clancy and he's from here. Can you believe it? New face from here?" He said mocking.

"Yeah. He stayed in Canada for years because of his brother." Our order came. I got mine and took a sip.

"Looks like you're getting to know him. Just be careful Kat. He's a new guy and... Just be careful that's all. You know I still care for you." He told me looking in my eyes. That's kind of sweet but I need to hold my back.
