Kent Axel's Point of View.

Nilingon ko si Saji na napabuntong hininga. "Imagine, I was attracted to him first but now he's running after me." Natawa na lang ako sa sinabi ni Saji at pinitik ang noo niya.

"Unliking him is one of the great decision you made, he has agenda." Sagot ko.

"And how did you know that?" Tanong niya habang naniningkit ang mata.

"Lawyer have words that only us can understand." Nakangiting sabi ko.

"Ganoon?"

"Oo nga," wika ko at ngumiwi na.

"Okay." Sagot niya kaya  naman mahina ko siyang pinitik sa noo dahilan para samaan niya ako ng tingin at umalis na sa kinatatayuan.

***

Lumipas ang dalawang araw at ngayon ay mas nararamdaman ko ang sakit lalo na't nakikita ko madalas si Lauren. 

While holding my codal, so I can read it silently and find a place for me to read peacefully.

When I found the perfect place I started doing what I wanted to do.

I was busy listening to my favorite music, while reading my codal. As I listened and read someone tapped my codal hard, I looked up to know who did it.

My hand turned into fist, I stood straight and cool in front of him. "What's your problem dude?" I asked calmly.

"Now that Argelia likes you are you happy? Does seeing me like this make you happy huh?" He rudely asked.

'Seriously?'

The edge of my lips rose up, it's the first year lawyer who played with my best friend's feelings. "Actually, You deserved it." I said with a little smile.

"You played her feelings telling her she's just your temporary, I remain silent. You said she's just your Pro Tem, man I can make your license Pro Tem too." I sarcastically said.

I looked at him, from his head to toe. "You're nothing but a stupid law student." I smirked, he looked so hurt.

"Everything you did? I'll remand it. You played with Saji's feeling, I'll remand it Bro. Before you look down on me, make sure you know how to do a profile check." I angrily said and picked up my codal book.

"We're not yet done, Sandoval." I heard him clearly, I stopped for a second then I continued walking.

Make sure you can handle my power, Aries. Once you can't, you'll die without me, doing an effort. I sighed after realizing what he just told me earlier.

I wish I was wrong, I wish i heard it wrong. Saji really likes me, fuck. I'm doomed, using my right hand I gently fixed my hair due to frustration. While walking I was stopped by Lauren.

She was crying, I saw her tears fall down from her eyes to cheeks. "W-Why are you crying?" I nervously asked.

"K-Kent.." I closed my eyes when she hugged me tighter than before, and started to sob..

I'm trying my best everyday to ignore her presence because she's making me sad but my heart can't stop caring.

"W-Why? What happened?" 

"I-I'm— I don't know what to feel anymore Kent, I was blinded. I really love you." I immediately opened my eyes as I heard her right.

"Y-You already rejected me a hundred times, you told me we can't be together because of our parents.." I can't believe I was saying this without feeling anything.

"But it's not just all about that, right now. You should care more about yourself and your baby." I bit my lower lips as I felt my throat hurts.

I think my heart is already done with the pain, it's been a month since I heard everything, it was so painful to the point that my studies are hanging on a soft trunk of an old tree.

"I-I know."

"I understand.."

"I really do kent, it's just that I respect our mom and dad, even Noona Mia." I closed my eyes and reached for her hands.

I unclasped it, because it's hugging my waist tightly. "I'm leaving." I told her using my Lower voice.

"W-Where are you going?" She asked, Curious.

"Far from here, I choose to respect us and our family. I choose Noona Mia because you can't choose me from the very start." After answering her question I walked away opposite her direction.

'Her reason, it makes me wanna cry over and over again, tangina. Hindi naman 'yon ang masakit.'

I was surrounded by people who are confusing me, I walked straight to my car. After sitting on the driver's seat I chose to close my eyes and put the codal book on the side of my car.

I drove my car to the nearest beach to widen up, I needed to think carefully and wisely. As I reached my destination I left my car in the parking lot and walked to the beach.

'This place, I know this place because of Saji.'

I sat beside the big stone, resting my head on the side of it. I feel so weird, I'm concerned about Saji, I overreacted when I heard that Saji was hurt. What's wrong with me?

I'm about to close my eyes when I heard a familiar sobbing, my eyes widened as I realized that someone was with me. She just got here a second ago.

"I'm doomed, what should I do now? He's leaving soon.." I closed my fist i'm freaking eavesdropping.

'Did noona told her already?'

"I, Saji Argelia Collins, have the right to remain silent. I need to keep this feeling, he can't love me back. He's my best friend. I can't love him, we can't be together." I was stung.

'Fuck! I really heard it right!'

"I don't want to lose him, he's someone important to me right now. He's in love with Lauren, You can't be a hindrance for his happiness Saji.." I let out a heavy sigh.

'Why does this have to happened?'

I picked up my phone from my pocket, I texted her. I want to be sure.

To Sajing:

    Where are you?

I waited for her reply, then I silent my phone.

From Sajing:

    I'm watching some views, chilling. How are you?

I sighed after receiving her message.

To Sajing:

    I'm watching a good view, or I should say tanawin to clear my mind. How do you feel?

From Sajing:

   Nothing, I'm a good naman. Relaxing lang, I'm just thinking..

To Sajing:

    What are you thinking? Are you thinking about me? Or your stupid lawyer?

From Sajing:

    You have a makapal face, I'm thinking if I should risk my happiness for others or put my happiness first.

To Sajing:

    They say, Always follow your heart and it will lead you to happiness. So maybe you know the answer.

I waited for her to reply but I already heard a girl sobbing beside me. We only have the big stone as a barrier and I can clearly hear her.

"But your happiness is not me, how should I be selfish and put you in my situation? What if i'm happy while you're miserable because you can't like me.." I closed my eyes and listened.

"I feel so hurt knowing the only man I liked so much is in love with someone i know better than me." I can feel her pain, I can hear her sobbing, I can hear her sadness.

I can, and I don't understand why..

From Sajing:

   How can we enjoy the view if we're going to text each other huh? Future Attorney.

As I received her message, I could hear her loud sobbing. I was aware of what she feels for me but I can't hurt her. That's why I'm leaving the philippines.

To Sajing:

    Do you want me to stay?

As I send it, I can clearly hear her pain with those sobbing. I bit my lower lip she's trying not to cry but failed.

From Sajing:

   Chase and pursue your dream, My Lawyer.

I was shocked, my heart doubled a beat. 

To Sajing:

   Will you be proud if I become a successful lawyer? Because I'm already proud of you Doctor..

I closed my eyes as I wanted to say 'My Doctor' for the second time I bit my lower lip hard. I could hear her little laugh yet looked devastated.

From Sajing:

   Of course, Ipaglalaban mo pa ako sa korte.. Sa korte lang..

She answered, for me it was a double meaning. I sighed.

To Sajing:

    I'll win your fight, even if you're wrong and guilty.

From Sajing:

    Stupid.

To Sajing:

    Want to meet me? I heard you rejected your Lawyer.

From Sajing:

   Later, I'm still busy.

To Sajing:

   Busy Crying? Because you enjoy the view so much? Ganoon ka.

From Sajing:

    Mm, you're always right.

To Sajing:

    You're always good and better than anyone else, I'm hoping for your great success. I am Kent Axel Sandoval, Until we meet..

I sent her my last message, I closed my eyes as I heard her crying too loud, so emotional, I can't stand it, I want to wipe her tears.. I want her to feel my hug and be comforted just like before.

'But right now, i'm the one who causes her pain..'

Today was my last day, I already talked to my Noona.. She already fixed everything outside the Philippines, she already entered me in a best Law School.

From Sajing:

    Wait what? Are you leaving now? I thought next month? 

From Sajing:

   I thought next month Kent Axel? What the hell..

From Sajing:

   I thought you're meeting me? Ya, Babo!

From Sajing:

     Kent, Reply please?

I felt so bad, leaving my best friend at her rough times. But she fell in love with me, i knew it would happen but it feels unexpected.

I touched my chest, feeling the beat of my heart. But all I know is we were both in pain. Sandali kong narinig ang malakas niyang iyak na nagdulot rin nang sakit sa dibdib ko.

Tumayo ako, matangkad ang bato hindi niya ako mamamalayan. Nang makabalik sa sasakyan ay mabilis kong tinawagan ang Noona ko.

"You called?" bungad niya.

"Noona, Did i just hurt Saji?"

"What did you do?"

"I always choose Lauren, But she never chooses me. While Saji always has the time and consoles me, I can't do the same thing noona. I feel so ridiculous."

"How do you feel?"

"I think i'm not okay, I don't feel okay knowing and confirming everything noona. I wish i didn't follow my curiosity.."

"How do you feel about Lauren?"

"I'm hurt, that's all i know. But I already accepted the fact that we're fucking brothers and sisters."

"Plus the fact that they let you be together but she ended ugh never mind."

"Yeah,"

"Is that so? Now Lauren is running to catch you huh.."

"She told me she really loves me."

"And Saji showed me she loves you." I was cut off, those words are too MUCH.

"That's why I'm leaving, I can't hurt her. I can't.."

"Who would you rather hurt than? Saji or Lauren?"

"I don't know."

"Of course you do, dongsaeng."

"L-Lauren."

"Okay, leave the Philippines."

"I'm really leaving PH noona."

"Okay, Get drunk. I'll pick you up later."

"Ang konsintidor mong kapatid."

"Oh? Bat ako?"

"Gusto mo ko mag lasing eh."

"Matanda ka na oy, nanonood ka nga porn gago."

"Luh noona!"

"Sige na! Susunduin kita mamaya! Enjoy!"

Nang patayan ako nito nang tawag ay wala akong nagawa, tarantado talaga noona ko. Pinaandar ko ang sasakyan at sinunod siya sa nais, may sundo naman pala ako why not?

I went straight to a bar or club to get drunk, I silently sat down and ordered some hard drinks. "What's up cutie?" a lady asked me with a seductive smile.

"Not interested, sorry." I answered immediately.

"Mr.Sandoval, Sup?" I tilt my head a bit and look at the guy who knows me.

"Good," saad ko.

Few hours past

I was busy drinking when I saw some familiar lady in the crowd, dancing, dancing with other guys I know she doesn't know. I tried not to look and focus on my alcohol.

It was an hour past, and I feel tipsy. My eyes tried to find her but i can't, I stood up and walk to look for her. Saji is wasted..

While walking I saw her, Making out, It's just a kiss but I could feel my anger. I unconsciously walked towards them and then I grabbed saji's wrist. "The fuck bro?!" the guy shouts.

"What are you doing huh?" i asked Saji while having a grip on her waist.

I was stopped when she starts touching and tracing my face. "Saji Argelia." Mariing banta ko nang mapunta yon sa labi ko.

"She's drunk, I'm sorry." Saad ko.

"Can't you see we're doing something man?!" I sighed as the guy shouted at me.

"Die or Shut up?" I hissed.

"Man, Enough. He's a Sandoval." The other guy whispered.

After that, I guided Saji to my table earlier. Pinaupo ko siya at hindi makapaniwalang tinitigan it's the first time I saw her did it.

'She's wasted.'

I almost caught my guard up when she snatched my neck tie and pushed her lips on mine. My eyes widened as she started kissing me, As the alcohol drove me I guided her head with my palm and deepened the kiss.

I heard her groan as I entered my tongue on her mouth, Tasting her alcohol. I'm glad she gurgled after that man kiss him, i'm glad because I'm fucking maarte.

But I stopped after realizing what we're about to do, I gently pushed her away. She fell on the couch without knowing what we just almost did.

I sat beside her, I cupped my face and gently massage the side of my head. Fuck! What kind of feeling is this? Crazy feelings?

When Noona called, I answered it and gave her the details about my place. I told her I was with Saji and I needed to drop her to her condo first.

While holding Saji on her waist, her face is leaning on my chest while her hands and arms are all over my waist too. We look like a fucking couple.

When I noticed my noona's car she immediately helped me put Saji on the back of the car with me. "Oh.. I guess my brother enjoyed his last day in the Philippines." My brows raised.

"What do you mean?" I kindly asked.

"Oh gosh brother. You have her lipstick. I mean Saji's lipstick." She said in a playful tone.

I was embarrassed I used some tissue to clean the Stain. "Oooohh." She teasingly said.

"Noona enough, she grabbed me." I explained.

"I don't care, you made a woman cry. What a jerk." My noona started to tease me.

We're always like this, Always. "I'm guilty." I murmured.

"You are, You like her? Oh you don't." she answered her own question that's why I laughed a little and stare at Saji's face who's black out now.

"She's beautiful, right?" my noona asked.

"She is." I answered.

"A beautiful lady is wasted because of my brother, gosh. What a scumbag." I manly rolled my eyes as my noona teased me.

"I'm still leaving." bulong ko.

"I didn't force you to stay or leave dongsaeng, You choose to leave and let your other noona STAY with mom and dad." She explained.

"Noona I love you." I whispered.

"You know how much, I—"

"Just say you love me too, Rock hearted woman." She's pissing me off.

"Oo na, I love you too dongsaeng." She sweetly said, My lips formed into a small smile but a genuine one.

"You're stupid dongsaeng." She said that's why I frowned and left a heavy sigh.
