Third Person's POV
Mag-aalas otso na ng gabi ay hindi parin nagigising si Athena simula ng ibalik siya ni Kurt mula sa labas. Mataas ang lagnat niya at halos wala ng kulay ang buo niyang katawan sa pamumutla. Gustuhin mang gisingin ni Kurt si Athena, hindi niya magawa dahil mas gusto niya muna itong pagpahingahin.
Hindi na ito umalis sa tabi niya mula ng mabihisan nina Cynthia at Thea si Athena. Nakaupo lang ito at titig na titig habang natutulog ang dalaga.
Cynthia's POV
"Naaawa ako kay, Kurt." Biglang sabi ni Thea. Nasa sala ulit kami, dito kami madalas tumambay ni Thea. "Kawawa siya."
Tumango ako, "Wala e, tanga kaibigan natin."
"Tanga nga, pero lahat naman ng nagmamahal tanga e." Sagot niya saakin.
Kaya naman napatingin ako sakanya, "Aba? Saan mo naman galing yun, aber?"
"Sa TV! Malisyosa ka!" Natatawa niyang sabi pagkatapos niya akong irapan. "Pero seryoso, di naman natin masisisi si Athena e. Maraming nagmamahal ang nabubulag sa katotohanan. Maraming ding nagmamahal ang nabibingi. Parang kayo lang ni Kuya."
Tinaasan ko agad siya ng kilay. Napapansin ko kasi, tuwing magsasalita itong si Thea palagi niyang sinisingit ang tungkol saamin ni Jiro. "O? Paano mo nanaman kami nagawang ipasok sa usapan?"
"Tanga din kayo sa mga oras na ito. Naging tanga kayo, tanga kayo at magiging tanga kayo. Ganoon naman talaga ang love, ate Cyn. Walang siyang pinipiling utak, kasi alam niyang kahit gaano pa katalino ang mabihag niya, magagawa niya itong tanga sa bandang huli." Walang tigil niyang sabi. Ni hindi man ata siya huminga nung sinabi niya yun e.
Tinitigan ko lang si Thea. Siguro ay nakanganga na din ako habang pinagmamasdan siya.
Hindi ako makapaniwala sa aking mga narinig.
"Hoy, utol. Bagay nga kayo ni Sean." Biglang sabi ni Jiro na kababa lang ng hagdan, pero halata sa sinabi niya na narinig niya yung sinabi ni Thea. "Pareho kayong mala-DJ kung magsalita. Hayaan mo, okay lang sakin kung maging kayo."
Kumunot ang noo ni Thea, "Yuck, as if naman. Ayoko dun no, mabaho yun."
"Oh, oh, oh. Ako nanaman ang pinaguusapan niyo. Thea ha, nakakahalata na talaga ako." Biglang singit ng kararating na si Sean. Natatawa talaga ako sa dalawang to, kung magiging sila man in the future, suportado ko sila.
Inirapan siya ni Thea, "Oo ikaw talaga pinaguusapan namin. Ikaw at yung kabahuan mo."
"Anong mabaho? Ipa-amoy ko pa sayo kili-kili ko e!" Hamon ni Sean habang papalapit kay Thea, nakataas na ang kamay nito at handa nang ipaamoy kay Thea.
Napailing nalang ako, "Mga sira."
"Gusto ko nga si Sean para sa kapatid ko." Natatawa namang sabi ni Jiro. Ako lang ang nakarinig dahil busy sina Thea at Sean sa paghaharutan. "Kung hindi ko man kilala masyado si Thea, atleast si Sean kilala ko na. At alam kong hindi niya pababayaan kapatid ko."
Natawa tuloy ako, "Naks. Protective brother ang peg? Saya siguro ng may kuya no." Sabi ko- more like sinabi ko sa sarili ko kaysa sinabi ko kay Jiro. Wala e, only child ako. I didn't have the perks of having a sibling. Though, tinuturing ko nang mga kapatid ang mga kaibigan ko, syempre iba parin kapag kapatid mo talaga.
"Bakit ka ba naiinggit kay Thea, pareho niyo naman akong pag-aari ah?" Nakangising sabi niya sakin.
Siniko ko siya sa may bewang, nakaupo kasi kami sa sofa at medyo naka-lean ako sakanya kaya madali lang gawin yun, "Cheesy mo, ew."
"Alam mo, kapag kinikilig ka, hindi naman tamang palagi kang mananakit. Pakiligin mo din naman ako in return!" Sabi niya. Alam kong nagbibiro siya, pero feeling ko medyo totoo rin yung sinasabi niya. Hindi naman kasi talaga ako showy pag dating sa mga ganito e.
Natameme tuloy ako.
Hindi naman kasi sumagi sa isip ko na ganon na pala ang nangyayari. I thought, letting him sit beside me and letting put his arms around me is enough. Iba parin ata talaga kapag sayo na mismo nanggaling ang mga salitang, "I love you."
"What?" Di makapinawalang tanong ni Jiro.
Hindi rin ako makapaniwala sa sinabi ko, sinabi ko ba talaga ng malakas yun?! "What?" Sabi ko nalang din, malay ko ba kung makalusot.
"Hindi e, may sinabi ka." Di parin niya makapaniwalang sabi.
Umiling ako, "Wala."
"Cyn, narinig ko. Sabihin mo ulit?" Sabi niya pagkatapos niya akong iharap sakanya. Sana hindi nalang niya ako hinarap sakanya, nahihiya tuloy ako.
"I..." Di ko matuloy! Bat ganun? Kanina ang dali lang niya lumabas sa bibig ko. Ni hindi ko pa nga sinasadya. "I- I love you. I love you, Jirs."
Tintigan lang ako ni Jiro in return. Nakatulala siya sakin. Hindi siya nagsalita for almost two minutes, literal. Sinubukan ko siyang gisingin muli sa reality, "Jiro, ang sabi ko mahal kita. Titigan mo lang ba ako?"
Hindi parin niya ako sinagot.
Marahas akong tumayo at naglakad palayo. Ano yun? Pinapahiya ba niya ko? Kahit naman walang nakakita o nakarinig sa mga nangyari maliban samin, hindi parin tamang titigan lang niya ako pagkatapos kong umamin sakanya. Nakakainis. Kahit sino naman siguro maiinis kung iiwan ka lang sa ere pagkatapos mong sabihin ang tatlong salitang yun.
"Cyn, saan ka pupunta?" Rinig kong tanong ni Thea saakin.
"Dun sa malayo." Sagot ko kahit alam kong hindi na niya ako narinig dahil narinig ko siyang bumagsak sa sofa at ang malakas na pagtawa ni Sean.
"Kita ko panty mo, Thea." Walang hiyang pang-aasar ni Sean. Napailing nalang ako at ipinagpatuloy ang paglalakad palayo.
Walang kwentang Jiro to. Tumigil na nga ako sa paglalakad sandali, hindi man lang ako pinuntahan. Naglakad na nga ako, hindi pa ako pinigilan-
Bigla nalang may kamay na humila saakin, hindi pa man ako nakaka-recover sa gulat ay naramdaman ko nang may dumamping mga labi sa labi ko. The exact lips na dumampi saakin sa school nung may tumisod saakin during the "contact lenses issue" of Athena. There was no tongue involved, dumampi lang talaga siya. Tsaka di pa ako ready sa ganoong stage ng kissing...
"I love you more. Mas mahal kita. I love you! I love you! Guys! Sinagot na ako ni Cynthia!" Masayang sigaw ni Jiro pagkatapos niya akong muling halikan ng tatlo pang mabibilis na beses.
Napanga-nga ako sa narinig.
Aba't ni hindi man lang ako nainform na nanliligaw pala siya?
Athena's POV
Where the hell am I?
What the hell happened?
What the fck is wrong with my head.
Sobrang sakit ng ulo ko kaya it took me a minute or two to open my eyes. I was momentarily blinded by the light coming from the lamp near my bed, pero nakabawi rin nang mapansin kong madilim na pala sa labas. I can't even fully open my eyes ni magalaw nga ang mga kamay ko o paa hindi ko magawa. Sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam ko and everytime I tried to move, feel ko I'll faint again.
Sinubukan ko ulit gumalaw, and when I did I realized na may nakahawak sa kamay ko. Kaya naman I did everything I can to open my eyes. To see who it was.
I wasn't exactly shocked nang makita kong si Kurt yun. Siguro dahil nangibabaw yung sakit sa puso ko. I am just being honest, at hindi cheesy. I really feel a stabbing pain in my chest whenever I see Kurt. Nasasaktan ako para sakanya. Nasasaktan ako because I know he's hurt because of me.
Looking at him now, sleeping while he's holding my hand... it makes me wonder why I didn't choose him. Kung bakit hindi ko magawang piliin siya kaagad. He's perfect. Walang kokontra, perpekto talaga tong kumag na to. Alam ko at sigurado ako kasi...
because I had him once.
I felt him move, at first I was startled, pero kumalma ako nang makita kong minulat niya ang mga mata niya. Yung mga mata niya ngayon, they look so peaceful. Kahit pa mukhang wala siyang tulog, kapag tumingin ka sa mga mata niya, mawawala sa isip mo yung problema at sakit mo sa katawan kahit sandali. But then... pano ko nagagawang sabihin lahat ng to pero nahihirapan akong aminin na gusto ko rin siya. Na there's a tiny possibility that I love him still. Nahihirapan akong aminin yun hindi lang sakanya, kundi pati sa sarili ko rin.
"Thene?" He asked. Kahit na alam kong he's been waiting for me to wake up, he looked shocked nung makita akong nakagising. "Maayos na ba pakiramdam mo?"
Tumango ako, "Pwede na. Nahihilo lang ng konti."
"Hindi mo na dapat pa ginawa yun." He almost whispered. To be honest, I barely heard what he said. "Y-you didn't have to run after him sa ganoong kalakas na ulan. Makikita mo naman siya soon, if you-"
I looked at him with disbelief, "Why are you saying that?" I snapped.
Why the hell did he say that?! Bakit niya sinabi yun? Gusto ba talaga niyang magkita kami ulit ni Jed? Okay lang sakanya?
"Kurt, are you- are you giving up on me?" I asked. Hindi ko halos magawang itanong sakanya yan. I had a hard time before finally completing the sentence. "Kurt?"
Is he?
Napagod na ba siya kakaintindi sakin? Napagod na ba siya kakahabol sakin? I may be selfish, but can't he give me just a little more time to think? To let everything sink in? Alam ko, sobra na ako. But masisisi niyo ba ako? Hindi na nga ako makapag-isip ng tuwid e.
Hindi niya ako sinagot. Pero nang tignan ko siya, he looked like he was really considering it. Hindi lang niya masabi. His reaction scared the hell out of me.
"Just a little more, Kurt. Please." I said. I felt a tear rolling down my cheek. It was painful to ask him that, but it was more painful to think that I needed to ask him that. Hinigpitan ko ang hawak ko sa kamay niya.
He didn't face me. He didn't give me any answer.
Wala.
Instead, he stood up and left.
Nagkabaliktad na ata ang sitwasyon namin ngayon. Fck.
Karma's a bitch.
Pero may problema nga lang sa saying na yon..
Athena's way more bitch-ier than karma.
So with that thought, tumayo rin ako. Although mahirap kasi medyo nahihilo ako, I tried my best. It probably took me minutes to stay steady. But I did, kaya agad akong lumabas ng kwarto to chase after the man I might be inlove with.
Third Person's POV
Paglabas ng kwarto ni Kurt, napasandal siya sa pinto. Sobra kasi ang pananakit ng ulo niya. Hindi narin niya mai-angat ang mga kamay niya. Pag gising kasi niya, doon palang niya naramdaman ang pananakit ng buong katawan niya kaya hindi siya handa.
Hindi rin nakatulong ang pagbilis ng tibok ng puso niya nang makitang gising na si Athena. Pagbukas kasi ng mga mata niya, halos umiikot na ang kanyang paningin. Halos hindi na rin niya maproseso ang mga sinabi ni Athena kanina.
Gustuhin man niyang sumagot, hindi pa niya kaya. And he's afraid na baka tuluyan na siyang mawalan ng malay. So before that could even happen, lumabas siya mula sa kwarto.
Lumabas siya hindi dahil sumuko na siya kay Athena. Lumabas siya dahil nanghihina siya, physically.
Ayaw lang talaga niyang ipakita yon kay Athena.
Athena's POV
Where the hell is Kurt?
Kanina pa ako naghahanap. I'm pretty sure, naliligaw na ako sa mga oras na to. The best guess I could come up to, ay pumunta siya sa kwarto niya. Pero sa laki ba naman ng bahay na to, imposible na atang mahanap ko yung kwarto niya e. Ayoko namang kumatok sa bawat pinto, baka pagbukas ko at ibang tao ang nasa loob, salubungin pa ako ng napakaraming tanong.
Kung bakit ako lumabas, kung bakit hindi ako nagpayong, kung bakit ako nagpaulan, kung anong meron sa labas at ang OA ko magreact. Baka itanong sa akin ang mga yan e. Di pa ako masyadong handang sagutin. Or better yet, wala akong mabibigay na sagot.
"Excuse me! Excuse me?" Natatarant kong sabi nang may makita akong lalaking in his mid-40s hindi ko kilala na naka-all black. Ironic isn't it? I am approaching a man in black at wala akong binabalak na masamang gawin sakanya. Humarap siya sakin at mukhang nagulat. He probably knows me. "Do you know who Kurt is?" I asked muna, before anything else.
Tumango ito, "Yes, ma'am."
Kumunot ang noo ko sa tawag niya sakin. Hindi naman sa hindi ako sanay, I just didn't see that coming. Yung tawagin akong ma'am ng mga taong noon ay kinamumuhian ko. Ibang klase nga naman ang tadhana e no? "Do you know where his room is? Kanina pa kasi ako naghahanap and I have no idea kung anong hinahanap ko."
"Kwarto po ni Sir Kurt?" Nagtataka niyang tanong.
Ako naman ang tumango ngayon, "Yes. Do you know where it is?" I asked, medyo impatient na ang tono. Yung kasing tingin niya, may sinusuggest na iba e. Is it not normal for a girl to look for a man's room?
Yeah, well. I was never a normal girl.
"Sa may west wing po." He informed me.
Nagbuntong-hininga ako, "Didn't you hear me the first time I told you? Di ba sabi ko I have no idea kung anong ginagawa ko? Then you expect me to know where that fcking west wing is?!"
Nanlaki ang mga mata niya. "What? Lalakihan mo lang ako ng mata? You don't have to. Your eyes are big enough, di mo na kailangan mag-effort."
This time, namutla naman siya sa inaasta ko. Darn it. Ano ba tong ginagawa ko? Why am I bitch-ing on people again? "Look, I'm tired. Can you just lead me to his room?" I asked, kindly.
Agad-agad naman siyang tumango. Halos kumaripas na siya sa pagtakbo nung sinusundan ko na siya. Konting mapalapit lang siya sakin, bibilisan niya ulit ang paglalakad. I hate how big this mansion is. Apparently, eto yung pinaka-"head quarters" ng organization na Eagles. Which, as they have told me, is mine.
Huminto siya sa harap ng isang pinto.
"Is this it?" I asked. Tumango siya kaagad. "Fine, you may leave."
He didn't even blinked, kumaripas kaagad siya ng takbo. What is wrong with him?
***
Kanina pa ako nakatayo sa harapan ng pintuan ni Kurt. Kung tama ang hinala ko, I'm standing here for almost twenty minutes. Wala akong kibo. I'm just standing still. Hindi ko kasi alam kung kakatok ba ako o tatawagin ko nalang pangalan niya.
What if he doesn't want to see me?
What if kaya siya umalis ay dahil ayaw na niya sakin?
What if pagod na talaga siyang habulin ako?
What if pagod na siyang hinatyin ako?
What if I'm too much to handle for him?
O d*mn those What Ifs, I'm going in.
***
Have you ever felt like you're unstoppable? Na literal mong nararamdaman sa mga ugat mo yung adrenaline rush? Like, all you can think is I can do it, I can do anything and no one can stop me now. That's how I felt when I oppened the door.
Yun din siguro ang dahilan kung bakit hindi na sumagi pa sa isip ko ang kumatok. Wala, I just did what I was bound to do at the first place, binuksan ko yung pinto.
And what I saw, I wasn't 'bound' to see that.
"Oh God, I am so sorry!" Kaagad kong sinabi sabay ng pagtakip sa mga mata ko. No, he wasn't naked. He wasn't fully naked. May nakapalupot na twalya sa bewang niya.
I stayed still. Ramdam ko ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso ko. Nagulat ako. No, nagulat is totally an understatement. Kahit sandali hindi pumasok sa isipan ko na baka nagbibihis siya. I never would've thought na he's d*mn half naked. "I am so sorry!"
"It's.. It's okay, Thene. It's fine." Mahinang sabi niya. Hindi ko masabi kung anong reaksyon niya. If he's angry or violated or embarassed or what. The words almost came out like a whisper.
Although nagtataka ako kung bakit mahina ang boses niya, hindi ko parin tinanggal ang pagkakatakip ng mga kamay ko sa mata ko. Umiling ako, "No. It's not fine. I should've knocked. I am so sorry." Paumanhin ko ulit. Ni hindi ko mahinaan ang boses ko dahil sa gulat. And the adrenaline I was talking about a while ago? I'm feeling it thousands of time stronger at the moment.
Ah sht, I somehow always find something to do to ruin the moment. I was about to say sorry and this happens? Are you fcking kidding me?
I should probably leave. Mali yung timing ko. Sobrang mali. I should've let him cool down. Dapat binigyan ko siya ng space bago ako pumunta. Dmn it.
Just when I was about to turn around, and walk away. I heard something fall.
"Kurt? What was that?" Di ko siguradong tanong, and I still have my back facing him.
Wala akong natanggap na kasagutan, "Kurt? Are you okay? May narinig akong nahulog." I tried once more.
That was a pretty loud sound. Kaya naman, I turned around.
"Kurt!" Dali-dali kong sigaw. Good thing natakpan ng twalya ang mga parteng hindi ko dapat makita, because Kurt is lying on the floor. Nawalan siya ng malay. Muli akong lumabas ng kwarto, "Anyone?! Somebody help us!"
I ran to his side again, this time I sat beside him. "Kurt, anong nangyari? Kurt?" I really didn't need to ask that the moment I touched his face.
He's fcking burning. Not literally but more of 'medically'. Inaapoy siya ng lagnat.
***
"Thene, you have to rest. Kagagaling mo rin lang sa lagnat." Cynthia said, maybe for the thousandth time in this fcking hour.
"I said no!" Inis na inis kong sigaw. "I'm fine. How many times do I have to tell you? I am fine!" I screamed. All of them looked startled. By all I meant Jiro, Cynthia, Sean, Blight, Chenoa and Thea. I was too worried to think why Paige isn't around.
They didn't speak. No one moved. "If you want to rest, then rest. I will stay here." Mariin kong sabi. Muli kong tinignan si Kurt. Meron siyang wet towel sa ulo, I put it there a few minutes ago. I even checked his temperature pero wala paring pagbabago. Hindi ako naniniwala sa sinabi ng doctor na he'll be alroght soon. Ang taas ng lagnat niya that I feel like he could die any moment.
And that terrifies me.
***
"I see your keeping your promise." I was so busy staring at Kurt and thinking a lot of things when I heard Paige's voice out of nowhere. "I think I made a right decision."
Napabuntong-hininga nalang ako bilang sagot. I wasn't tired. I just felt relieved that Paige is here. Hindi naman sa hindi ko kayang ingatan si Kurt on my own, it's just that I don;t want to be selfish. I want Paige to look after Kurt as well. That's the least I can do for her.. right?
"So why are you here?" Tanong bigla ni Paige. Kumunot ang noo ko sa tanong niya. "Thene, why are you here?"
"What kind of question is that? Alam mo na yung sagot, so why would you ask?" Takang-taka kong tanong.
She looked me staright into my eyes, she didn't even blinked. "Are you here because you're guilty?"
"I'm sorry. what?" I asked, shocked by her question yet again.
"Are you here because you feel obliged to? Nandito ka ba because you're doing Kurt a favor?" Tuloy-tuloy parin niyang tanong.
Napailing nalang ako, "Paige, I don't-"
"Are you here because naaawa ka kay Kurt? Are you here dahil inalagaan ka niya kanina, that's why inaalagaan mo rin sya ngayon? Why are you here, Athena Crissanta?" Hamon niya sakin. I felt the deperateness in her tone. But I know what she wanted to hear from me. I knew what she wanted and I'm giving a hell out of an answer to her.
I stood my ground, "I'm here because I care about Kurt.. a lot. I am here, because I want to be there the moment he wakes up. And although it may sound selfish, I want him to see only me, the moments he opens his eyes." Mariin kong sagot sakanya.
Napatango siya. I know that she's hurting inside but she didn't show it so hindi ko na siya pinuna. "I see." Sabi niya lang. "But.."
Nagtaka ako sa biglang tono niya, as if she was about to ask another question. Wala na akong ibang maisip na tanong na pwede niyang tanungin, but by the looks of it, she still has something in her sleeves. "Why?"
It took me a moment bago ko maintindihan yung tanong niya. She's asking hy I want to be beside kUrt. She's asking why I want to take care of him. She's asking why I want to be the only one Kurt sees the moment he wakes up. She wants to know why I was being selfish about Kurt.
"I- I don't know.." Mahina kong sagot. My mind blanked. Hindi ako makapag-isip ng matino.
"I won't take that as an answer, Thene. I still need to hear it from you bago ko tuluyang pakawalan si Kurt." Sabi niya, her eyes full of pain and sincerity at the same time. "I need to hear it from you before I give my hert to someone else. Tell me, honestly, the reason why."
She's leaving?
"Saan ka pupunta?" I distractedly asked her.
"Far. Very, very far. Away form all of these. I was never involved in this chaos, Thene. Not until I met Kurt." She informed me. Nagulat ako sa narinig kong iyon, I thought her family was part of the organization. Akala ko she was really part of this. But it turns out, na she's here just because of Kurt. "Now, Athena, answer my question."
She did all of these for Kurt.
The least I can do to thank her for taking care of Kurt and to prove that I deserve the trust she gave me is to anwer her question, why.
"Because I may still have feelings for this awesome jerk." Bahagyang nakangiti kong sabi.
Tumango siya, "It's not much. But it's a start. Take good care of him for me, Thene." She said. I nodded as an answer. But after that, I didn't expect her to hug me. Let alone go near me, after all the pain I caused her. But she did. Lumapit siya sakin and she hugged me. "Wag mo kong bibiguin." Biro niya. But I know a part of her means it.
Next she looked at Kurt, who was still sleeping.
"You're in good hands now." Nakangiti niyang sabi. But I saw a tear roll down from her eyes the moment she kissed Kurt's forehead. Then she wishpered something and then she left.
She didn't need to say it aloud for me to know what she said.
I love you
Three words. Three words that can indicate the start of forever, but can also indicate the start of a painful goodbye.
She did all of that for Kurt. She faced me the second time to be sure na I deserve Kurt. That must've been painful. Entrusting someone you love to someone else, twice. Then she left.
That fcking btch left. Everything is so bizarre right at this moment.
The woman who loves Kurt so much, left him to a girl who can't even seem to know how she exacly feels for him. She left him to a girl who's thinking of two guys at the same time.
Maybe that is what Paige missed. She didn't ask if I only have feelings for Kurt alone. She forgot entirely about Jed. She missed the fact that before they kidnapped me and flew me here in New Jersey, I was with Jace Ethan de Castro. She didn't know I saw Jed this morning. She didn't know that Kurt went after me going after Jed this morning. She didn't know that I didn't have the guts and the courage to choose between the two.
That I still don't know who I loved more between them. She fcking left Kurt to a messed up woman like me.
"T-Thene?"
Siraulo si Paige. Yun lang ang tanging masasabi ko. She should've asked more question. A lot more questions.
"Athena?"
Why didn't she remember about Jed, why didn't I remember Jed? I should've been the one who brought it up. I should've mentioned him before she entrusted Kurt's heart to me.
"Athena?"
"Will you stop repeating my name?" I snapped. Di ko alam kung sino yung sinisigawan ko. I looked at the door only to see it still closed. Then it dawned me na kami lang dalawa ni Kurt ang nasa loob ng silid na ito.
Kaagad akong napatingin sakanya, "Oh my god, Kurt?"
"Thene?" He genuinely smiled.
Tumang ako, "It's me. I am here. I'm right beside you. I am here.. alone." I said that last part more to myself than to Kurt. I was here alone when he woked up. Gaya nga ng sinabi ko kay Paige, it happened.
"You're staying with me, di ba Thene?" He asked as he grab hold of my hand. I know he wasn;t just referring to his codition at the moment. Alam kong may malalim pang ipinapahiwatig yung tanong niyang iyon. I know exactly what it is.
Maybe Paige did make a wrong choice. Maybe she did missed out the fact that I was overly attached to Jed before I flew to New Jersey without my consent. Maybe she did leave Kurt to a woman with options, with choices and decisions to make. Maybe she did leave Kurt to a woman who's uncertain between two men.
But when I heard Kurt's voice?
Something small in me just knew that Paige left Kurt to a woman who, although something or rather-someone was holding her back, more than half of her wanted to say 'yes'.
***PLEASE READ****
A/N: This was supposed to be entitled 'Kurthena' but I decided not to do that chapter first. Gusto ko kasing umalis na si Paige. Hahaha! Joke lang. Gusto ko lang na hindi na masyadong balakid si Paige. Para love triangle nalang ang isusulat ko. Plus, Jiro and Cynthia are back together and sina Thea at Sean ay nagkakamabutihan. I wanted to make everything smooth before I write a Kurthena Chapter.
P.S. If you want a chapter (more than 6 are available) to be dedicated to you, dedicate a chapter in your story to me and then message me para makita ko agad. I'm searching for good reads din kasi.
Or, you can suggest a good korean drama at kapag nagustuhan ko, I will dedicate a chapter to you. Btw, napanood ko na yung The Heirs and My Love From The Star :)
P.P.S. I will follow the one with the best comment. Kahit tungko lang sa chapter na to, o sa buong story. I promise, I will follow you. :)
