I am now walking towards the pool area of my boyfriend's house, we have been a couple for 3 years and by the grace of God our relationship is still going strong. "Good morning ma'am" greeted me a maid in this house "Good morning too, is your sir in the pool area?" I ask here "Yes, ma'am, sir is with his girl friend" he answered, I was a little stunned when I heard that my boyfriend's friend was here "That's right, I'll go see them there" I said and walked away My boyfriend's female friend is the person I'm jealous of because since he came back from the State, he always has the boyfriend's time that should be mine How many times have I caught them hugging and my boyfriend always tells me that I have nothing to worry about because it's just a friendly hug and has no other meaning but sometimes I can't help but feel jealous and hurt I stopped when I was walking when I saw my boyfriend in the distance hugging your friend and.... And that's not all because they kissed, I held my breath while watching them both "W-what a p-FRIEND is p-for them?" I stammered to myself as I watched them from a distance Sob Sob I wipe my tears while still watching them. "I don't know what I did wrong for you to do this thing to me Akhil?" I said while my tears didn't stop and I continued to watch them from afar Sob Sob I left the place crying and walked away while my tears continued to break. I saw the assistant I talked to earlier, so I quickly wiped my tears and acted as if nothing had happened. "Ma'am?" I smiled when you called me "I'm not going to disturb Akhil, it looks like he and his friend are talking about something, I'll go first" I promised and started walking but I also stopped and called the assistant again "Just wait!" I called here and he stopped "What is that ma'am?" This question made me smile "Can you...oh don't tell Akhil that I came here?" Please, he looked at me in surprise, so I smiled at him and spoke again "Maybe if he finds out that I came here and then I didn't even approach him, he'll be flattered, so please don't tell me?" I begged her with a smile, she smiled at me and nodded "Alright, ma'am, you can count on me" He said and left The smile on my lips earlier has now been replaced by continuous drops of tears Sobbing "Stop it Reign.... Don't cry here sob you have to p-stop Reign this is not the right place sob" I let myself go and wipe my tears I took a deep breath before walking out of the house while my tears continue to flow........
Chapter 1
REIGN POV
It's been a week since that scene, and since that incident, we haven't been able to talk because he's always at his friend's condo
"Are you okay? Have you been quiet in class lately?" My friend Rozie asked me
She's my trusted best friend since our elementary days
"I'm fine" I answered gently
"Please stop me, my dear Rozie, you can believe me, I can't! What really happened to you, huh?" Euryne, who is also my best friend, asked flatly
Rozie and I met him when we were g-7 because he was our classmate until he became our friend
"I'm fine..."
"Don't be me Reign, what really happened? I saw Akhil earlier with his haliparot friend and then you say it's okay?" Out of the three of us, Euryne is the most steadfast and doesn't hold back and she is also a very observant person and she will immediately know if you have a problem or if you are okay just by looking at her.
"What's up Euryne, let's let her go first, she can't tell us yet" Rozie modestly said to her that Euryne was struggling
Euryne is the opposite of Rozie because Rozie is the type who is quiet but like Euryne she is also combative and has an attitude and above all she also knows that you are okay or not but she will not force you when she knows that you have no intention of talking about One thing.
But they both have one thing in common and that is that they are protective of me, they don't want to see me hurt or cry
"I'm fine, as long as you have a problem gurl, just tell us okay? We're just here to listen" Euryne promised with a smile as she hugged me
Rozie stood up and Euryne and I approached
"Unfair? I'm your friend too and not yours
I'll be included!" He said angrily, I laughed at this because he looked like you thought he was a duck because he was angry.
"Stop hating you, You look ugly, come here quickly" Euryne said, Rozie immediately came to her and hugged her very tightly
While we were hugging, my eyes caught Akhil with his male friends and Michaella who is his female friend and who is always with him instead of me who is his girlfriend
"Don't look at me, you'll get hurt" Rozie said to me while Euryne wiped my tears that were already falling.
I smiled bitterly...I don't even know that my tears are falling now, maybe my friends know why I am like this.......
"Tell us when have they been like that?" Rozie asked angrily after I told them that since Michaella came back from the State, she and Akhil have always been together.
"I told you, didn't I? Since the village woman returned here to the Philippines," I answered
fuck again Reign and then you just let it go?" Euryne shouted angrily at me
"What do you want me to do? To show him that I'm hurt by what they're doing?" I'm crying here
"Are you stupid? Instead of watching the two of them together, it's always the girlfriend who wins and not you!" I was stunned when he said the village thing
"Euryne what the hell!" Rozie scolded him when he noticed my sudden silence
"what is there anything wrong with what I said look I just don't want himself to let that man hurt himself While our friends are telling the truth l" I could feel Euryne's anger that's why I chose to remain silent because I felt It's my fault if Rozie and I are ever enemies
"I know even I don't want him to get hurt, but let's let him go first, you know the day will come when our friend himself will get tired and give up on Akhil, right" Rozie said but Euryne only answered him with a sigh
"I'm sorry because of me you're still acting like that" I weakly Promised them
"Tsk!! Don't apologize, it's not your fault that Akhil is at fault" cursed Euryne Saad
"Come on guys, you might be late for our next class, we're really ready, let's just talk about it" Rozie's nanny, Euryne and I immediately got up and walked back to the room together.
While we were walking to our room, I felt the urge to urinate, so I told them I was going to bathroom
"Rozie, Euryne, go to the room first, I'll go to Cr first, I'll follow you" I said goodbye to the two
"Alright, that's next" Rozie answered and I nodded
"Hurry up, maybe our prof panot will come" I laughed because of what Euryne said Rozie immediately pulled it I laughed watching them walk because they were hitting each other
I turned the road because this is the way to Cr and because the Cr is right next to the women and men, I also met many men, I dodged a little bit and I met four men, they must have come from behind of Bathroom and smoked because there was no CCTV in the back side so they were free to smoke
"Ahhh" I moaned as I bumped into something hard and I grabbed my forehead which hit my body?
stupid" A man said and my hair stood up when I heard his deep and cold voice
"S-sorry" I said weakly while still not looking up
" it said to me
"Your blocking my way" he said causing me to look up and that's when I realized that I was actually blocking his way I couldn't see his face because he was wearing a black hoodie jacket
"I'm sorry" I stuttered and stepped aside so that he could pass even though his face was nowhere to be seen, I could feel his gaze on me and I could also hear his sigh before removing his gaze from me and walking away just in time A strong wind blew past me causing the scent of the man to be left where I was standing....
SOMEONE'S POV
As I was walking out of the bathroom, a woman bumped into me
"Ahhh" he moaned as his face hit my chest
"stupid" I said coldly
"S-sorry" he said sorry which annoyed me, like !! I hate someone who apologizes to me even he/she doesn't do anything for me
" I could only answer with a sneer because of my annoyance,
I couldn't even see his face because he was bent down. I don't know if she's scared or whatever!!
"Your blocking my way" I said coldly to him because he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving my path
But that's how shocked and dumbfounded I was when he looked up so I could see his gentle face
I'm sorry" I ignored what he said and just looked at him and when I realized it, I walked away because I could feel my heart speeding up for some unknown reason.
"Fuck!! What is this?" I was talking to myself when I stopped walking when I got away from him and grabbed my heart because I can still feel its speed
"This is annoying!!" Not in my own words
"Annoying?" I turned around from behind me when I heard the voice of Akhiro who is my friend and next to him is Rayver who is also our friend
"Have you been here yet?" I asked her and she ignored what she said
"Nope we just arrived and we heard what you said, by the way what do you mean by that?" Rayver asked me seriously
"And why are you holding that in your heart? Are you okay? Are you feeling sick?" Akhiro's next question made me shake my head and quickly removed my hand from my chest
"Nothing, let's go" I said to them and walked first
When we got to the front of the room, I just walked in and noticed that our bald prof stopped while teaching but I ignored it and just continued walking to my seat.
"You're late again!" Our prof shouted but ignored it
"I'm sorry, prof" I heard Rayver say here before I bent down in my chair and fell asleep
Is not my vocabulary to listen to his boring discussion.
FAST FORWARD........
I woke up because I was shaken that's why I looked at it coldly and I didn't make a mistake because it's Akhiro
"What?" I asked him bored
"Dude, let's go to the canteen, we've been hungry for a while, so it took you a while to wake up there" he complained.
I immediately stood up and grabbed my bag before suddenly walking
"Then let's go" I promised but I walked ahead of them
While we were walking towards the canteen, my eyes caught the woman this morning but I noticed that her shoulders were high and low as she ran away
"Don't tell me she's crying?" I asked myself as I followed his path
"Crying? Who?" I heard Rayver ask but I ignored it
And for reasons I don't know, I suddenly ran to follow that woman
Fvck! What happened to me? Why do I do this kind of thing?
I stumbled upon the garden here inside the campus, so I looked around to look for the woman until I heard sobbing from a tree that was quite close to where I was, so I walked closer to it and saw a woman crouching down and hug the two knees that are crying.
What happened to her?
REIGN POV
I felt someone standing behind me but I ignored it and continued crying
"Here" he said as I turned around, I was a little surprised to realize that he was the man I bumped into this morning. I recognized him because of his black hoodie jacket and his perfume.
But what is he doing here?. Wait, what are you doing yourself?
"Keep this" He promised me coldly and seriously, I came to my senses and immediately took the handkerchief he handed to me. It's a pity that I can still smell the fragrance from where I'm sitting
"Thank you" I thanked her and wiped my tears.
"Crying baby" It was a weak promise but it was enough for me to hear.
"W-why are you boys like that? W-why don't you know how to be content with One?" I asked this while crying and I heard him breathing deeply
"Excuse me? The heck!" I heard it's cheap, I'll take care of him. When I look at him, I think they're all men because I want to release the pain, right?
"He cheated on me! *Sob* that's why he and that girl are always together because it's them" I said crying and laughed bitterly, I don't care what he thinks of me as long as the weight is gone i feel now
"Is it really required that the sin of one man is the sin of all?" I suddenly gasped when I heard this chatter! Sis, her voice is beautiful when she sings
"Starring is rude woman" he said, only then did I realize that I was staring at him. Thank you!
"Who is that man who made you cry now?" This is a serious question while still standing next to me, isn't he worried about standing up?
"My boyfriend.... I mean my ex-boyfriend I'll broke up with him lately" I answered his question while wiping my wet face
"What exactly happened?" He asked me that's why I told him. It's up to me to choose someone close, he asked!
FLASH BACK.....
While Rozie and I were walking to the canteen, a student called me
"Miss Reign?" A student called me
"Why?" I ask here
"Prof Castillo will call you, he's at the faculty" He told me and left, so I said goodbye to my friends, they should go to the canteen first and I'll follow
And when I was going back to the canteen I saw Akhil and Michaella walking towards the back I wanted to follow them but there was a part of my body that stopped me from doing it but I just saw myself heading towards the way to the back
I saw the two of them as if they were talking about something and then suddenly they hugged each other, the pain is so painful to see your boyfriend hugging someone else
I was about to turn around but I was stopped by the next incident.....they kiss a-again I held back my tears as I walked towards them
"your friendship is beautiful" He said and stressed the word friendship, they stopped and turned to me in shock
"R-reig?" Akhil said my name in shock and I faked a smile at this
"I wasn't informed that the friendship is so big now" I said sarcastically to them
"Reign it's not what you think" Akhil said and stepped closer to me causing me to step back
"You don't need to deny it Akhil I saw everything....even your kiss there in the pool area of your house I also saw" I said and now my tears are falling
"Y-you saw...." I cut him off
"Yes! And now you did it again! Maybe this is the right time to say goodbye to you, and to finish our relationship, we're done, we're done. Everything from now on is over" I said and turned away from them
I left that place in tears, I thought I was going to chase him, but it turned out not to be! the pain is sevee
END OF FLASH BACK........
After I told him the incident, I noticed his clenched fist? What happened to him? Is he angry because of my stupid mouth to tell the story?......
