He realized he was wrong when he said he can’t feel her love and he just want them to be best of friends. He made himself fool due to his coward to admit how he feels her love and how much he was loved by a girl who can manage to spare some time for him even though with a hectic schedule. His realization hits him. How fool he made himself and how coward he was to feel her love. He was standing and waiting for her to say how wrong he was. He can’t help but to smile when he remembers how he felt the love and care. His smile widens when he saw her from afar. He was so excited to face her and hug her therefore, he decided to cross the road to surprise her however, he’s the one who was surprise when he saw her lying on ground.
“JL, calm down, sit down you’re terrifying your sisters. Try not to yell.”
He sat down again and looked at him. “I can’t stand as a witness, I can’t betray, Anne.”
“You can’t betray her however you betrayed her. You knew that her and her, I was talking about were different people. Therefore, it’s okay to betrayed her for you can’t betray her. Am I right?”
“What do you want?”
“I’m just saying, you knew from the very start but you kept your mouth shut. How come you can say you love her, if you can’t even stand-up for her?”
“You don’t know what I feel!”
“As I said, try not to yell. You don’t deserve her heart, you don’t deserve her love especially you do not deserve Grace.” he said looking straight from eyes. “That’s all, thank you for your time and water. I’ll go now.” he added and left him without a word.
“Why do I always left alone without a word?” he murmured. He sighed when he saw the wall clock. It’s already seven o’clock. “I’m going to cook. What do you want to eat?”
“Are you okay?” Christine asked.
He turned around and looked at his sister with a smile on his lips. “Yes, I’m okay. It’s dinner time, what do you want to eat?”
“We want egg.” JC says.
“Good because I’m going to fry and boil some eggs. JC cut some tomatoes.”
“JC, are you going to wash the dishes or take care of them?”
“You can wash the dishes.” he said then giggled with their sisters.
He knew that JC wouldn’t picked the dishes but he doesn’t want to sound authoritative to his brother that’s why he asked him what does he want to do. He just smiled and washed the dishes.
He was standing in front of the university where Grace studies; he decided to wake-up early just to see her. It’s six thirty in the morning, it’s been ten minutes when he started to stand and wait for her.
“Am I that early?” he asked himself.
He looked around and there he saw a familiar person on the side of the university. He glanced at the person he saw who’s riding a bike. It wasn’t that far not to notice that the person who’s riding the bike is a girl also the bike is familiar but he didn’t mind. He looked at his wristwatch and he was amazed when he saw what time is it.
“It’s already seven-one in the morning yet she’s not here.” he said with disappointment.
He was about to go and just leave when he saw Grace. He can’t help but to smile when he saw her. At his excitement he crossed the road to hug her tight but his excitement begun to change into confusion when he saw her expression with full of worries while running towards him. He thought it was just a welcome hug but he was stunned when she pushed him. He was shocked when he saw her lying down on the floor. He looked around and saw the rider near Grace’s body, his eyes widens when he saw whom the rider is. At first, he denied it but when the rider run, he saw the plate number. He can’t believe what he saw, his body begun to weakens, he can’t gather his strength to carry Grace and run to the nearest hospital until he just saw someone carried her. He was too shock to absurd all the things he witness. He became like a stone sitting on the side of the road. It happened so fast like in just one snapped.
“Hey! They are already asleep; you haven’t yet finish washing the plates, uh… You haven’t begin at all. Is there something that bothers you?”
He remain silent and started to wash the plates. He has nothing to say and he doesn’t know where and how to begin. After he washed the dishes, he looked at his brother with a smile. “I’m okay, bro. I’m just tired. My mind is full of this and that.” he said while drying his hands. JC tapped his shoulder and left him alone at the kitchen. He’s still shock and he can’t absorb the things happened. He felt small and weak. He can’t deny the fact that he was coward when it comes to taking risks.
He’s still out of himself but he have to wake-up and cook for his siblings although he knew JC can cook yet he was thinking of their younger sisters who will take care of them.
“JC, what do you want take them a bath or cook?” he asked without looking his brother.
“I’m going to cook.”
