Chereads / Kai&Ky: A Lovestory / Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 16

Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 16

Kythem was surprised to see who that person that causes that kind of unwanted sound. It was Lester passionately kissing another man. She was startled to know about this but she immediately left there without any glimpse or hesitation.

She was about to turn in the left direction when she sees her senior talking happily in a corner while holding hands together with the man that she knows she was already in love with, but she doesn't know what is going to do.

Seeing their senior kiss Kyle's cheek, which made Kyle delighted. Kyle was about to kiss back their senior, so she immediately turned around so as not to see the next scene and doubled her step because she was so full of darkness today, she even having discomfort in breathing. It was a distressful day for her.

An hour later, Veira is looking for where Kythem is because she has already bought what her friend ordered to buy about it and she will also invite it because their activities will start in a few minutes. But in a corner, she didn't expect what she could see where Kyle had a kiss on someone but she didn't expect that it was Munic who was he kissing about.

But in a second she saw that Munic slapped Kyle's face afterward and Munic said something to him. It was far away from her direction so She had not heard What Munic told the man instead she saw that Munic was angrily left there.

Kyle was not on his right mind because of the rattle he was suffering from the heartache that Kythem gave to him. He looked in his left direction where is Veira's was. Kyle was surprised to see that Veira witnessed that but seeing that there is no doubt that Veira left there while giving him an unpleasant look. Kyle just grabbed his nape while giving himself a damn of what he was doing.

Earlier then, their last activity started and everyone had already gathered. Their emcee was their teachers and asked them randomly about 'What is true love?' so it was noisy but fun and, also it was an interesting event.

Everyone has their viewpoint on that question. Everyone had a different answer, literarily because everyone has a different experience. Many of them answer it according to Bible or they based what they read on the internet.

"How about you Ms. De Castro, for you, what is true love means?" the emcee asked the newly arrived Kythem whose eyes were still puffy from crying but no one noticed because she was wearing a cap, and it was too dark around and only the candles served as their light.

She invited to say her thoughts in front so she went to the center and accepted the mic given to her.

"True love? Seriously?" she said this in a deep tone afterward so everyone fell silent because of it.

"I don't know what it was because I don't know what love is all about, true love yet! It's a kind of a laughing stock!" Everyone saw that she answered the question in this manner but no one knows now what she truly feels So she doesn't care to judge her rude behavior.

" I think Ms. De Castro now is in a hard time. So let's just hope that she will overcome it!" but still Ms. Asuncion one of their emcees understanding words so somehow reduced the disagreement around.

Kythem was about to leave the place when Veira suddenly called her. Veira called her by her name so she stopped walking. "Don't forget I'm always here for you!" Veira said after handing over what she bought and left immediately in front of her friend.

"Sorry!" Kythem sincerely said before she left, Veira stops after she heard it but Kythem just saw that her friend was continued to walk away from her after. So Kythem couldn't help herself to feel guilty about what she did.

"Good luck!" Munic said as the three of them approached Kyle who was ready for the mini-contest to be held tonight. Munic was the only one who greet and spoke to Kyle and gave good luck to their classmate.

"Thank you!" he often replies with a smile. Munic smiled back at him so Kyle's felt relieved because he knew that The woman was no longer angry with what he had done earlier.

"Kyle, where are they? You'll start in a few minutes!" language of their adviser to him.

"Maybe they're just getting prepared, speaking of Gem there she is!" Kyle said and Gem and her friend just arrived and happily greeted their teacher who was given a nice compliment because of her dress.

"Excuse me for a while!" Kyle said and walked away from them.

"Where are you going, the contest is about to begin!" Munic asked him.

"I'll just get something in the tent!" Kyle replied to her.

Munic would have stopped him but she didn't succeed.

"I know you can do it!" Veira's words in her mind for her bestfriend caused her to smile at that thought.

In just a few minutes, their mini-contest will begin.

Meanwhile, Kythem finished getting dressed so she decided to go out of the lady's room.

_____•~•~•_____

: I'll wait for you here!

: Don't be hopeless I am on your back!

: I'm ready.

_____•~•~•_____

She received this message from Vins after getting dressed. She would have answered it when her cellphone suddenly turns to shout down. Her day has become stressful So she forgot to charge her device.

She is also keen to put a show in this competition but she was about to come out but she failed to unlock the door of the lady's room no matter how hard she tried. She asked for help but she just heard someone giggling outside and Kythem knew that she was intentionally locked there.

The contest was about to start so she had to think of a way to get out and participate but as her eyes wandered around the room it was too late to get out of such a lady's room.

"And the time comes for our last activities for this camping. Are everyone's ready?" the emcee signaled because their mini-contest is about to start but no one knows what kind of prize they will have if they win so they were surprised now when the emcee told them what it was.

"It's my time now!" Gem said in her mind that she was still smiling because of it. They helped Kythem to lock inside the lady's room while she was getting dressed.

"Is she will positively be okay?" a conscientious question from one of Gem's friends while as they listened to what the emcee was saying.

"She will not kill herself inside, after the show, we'll also release that bitch!" but Gem's whispering answer to her friends.

"Don't mind her first, The important things now is Gem and Kyle's moment!" but Gem's other friend says an opposite thought.

"Good luck! And let that bitch down!" she adds that let them does their hand codes

"... And now let's witness the first performer. Let's us give them a round of applause to our freshmen students!" language of the emcee that cause the place to sound loud in cheering. Where everything was happy about where they finally waited was about to start.

"Where did you from, why are you gasping?" Lester asked as Kyle had just arrived.

"At the tent site," he answered and immediately followed Gem who was now step into the center of the stage and the viewers applauded.

The intro of the song they chose started playing so it was even more exciting for everyone to witness it.

{Rewrite the stars (Kyle and Gem cover)}

Kyle:

🎶🎶🎶🎶...You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide

I know you want me

So don't keep saying 'our hands are tied

You claim it's not in the cards

And fate is pulling 'you miles away

And out of reach from me

But you're here in my heart

So who can stop me if I decide

That you're my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?

Say you were made to be mine

Nothing could keep us apart.

Gem can't stop her heart from beating fast, she was happy by this, putting herself in fantasies after she heard the lyrics. Looking like Kyle meant to say what message of the song for her. But she still holds what she truly feels, she was on the act that they practice earlier. While Kyle was singing the song, they're going to look in each eye like listening to what Kyle is saying.

🎶🎶🎶🎶....You'd be the one I was meant to find

It's up to you, and it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be

So why don't we rewrite the stars?

Maybe the world could be ours, Tonight

Gem:

🎶🎶🎶🎶...You think it's easy

You think I don't want to run to you

But there are mountains

In these lyrics where Kyle and Gem gonna split for a while, everyone was also changing their emotion that causes a beautiful sound of cheering. Gem was happy because of the viewers' reaction to this but without her knowing it not because of what Kyle does because it is at the same time when someone appears under the stage Where they are performing.

It was a girl in shoulder-length hair who was appearing to be barefoot while wearing a royal U-back blue fitted dress that was exact to her enough sexiness vital size that was only up to the knees but longer on the back band that reached to the feet.

Everyone saw how she attractively appears in one eye while amazingly interpreting on dance what was the lyrics tell were at that time. And a second of time there was a boy who was helping beautifully her to interpret what the lyrics tell. They're on a bit of the sound, exactly, And perfectly shows what steps they're prepared. They put an entertaining show to everyone and they never failed to get everyone's attention.

🎶🎶🎶🎶 ... And there are doors that we can't walkthrough

I know you're wondering why because we're able to be

Just you and me within these walls

But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see

That it was hopeless after all

It was too late for Gem to find out that the noise made by the viewers was not for them but for the two who performed the interpretative dance, and they did not plan this show, they only sang and they not meant to practice this by Kythem precisely because of her plan to solo Kyle's on stage.

She was surprised especially when she found out that Vins and Kythem were dancing like that. It almost squeaked well, it was well controlled. Gem was on the flow of the tone like what Vins and Kythem perfectly do to put some thrill also to everyone.

🎶🎶🎶🎶... No one can rewrite the stars

How can you say you'll be mine?

Everything keeps us apart

And I'm not the one you were meant to find

It's not up to you

It's not up to me

When everyone tells us what we can be

How can we rewrite the stars?

Say that the world can be ours Tonight

DUET:

🎶🎶🎶🎶...All I want is to fly with you

All I want is to fall with you...

Gem and Kyle were tightly holding their hands now at the center of the stage while singing these lyrics. Same as with Kythem and Vins but when they were in hands of each other no one knows How Kythem suddenly went to the top air. Everyone found out that she flipped up and fell into Vins' hand then the two of them hugged while Vins was spinning freely and Kythem's foot had not yet landed on the ground.

Everyone stood up because of that and With the perfect landing in Vins' hand, Kythem got even hotter and everyone scream in cheered joyfully with their excitement and joy they felt. Everyone can't explain how they extremely in kilig, excited, and even stand up without their knowledge because of this unpredictable does of the two.

🎶🎶🎶🎶 ... So just give me all of you

It feels impossible

It's not impossible

Is it impossible? Say that it's possible

DUET:

🎶🎶🎶🎶...How do we rewrite the stars?

Say you were made to be mine?

Nothing can keep us apart

'Cause you are the one I was meant to find

Almost everyone is very attached to the choreography made by Kythem and Vins this time. In this hand, momentarily Kythem left in front of Vins but the man suddenly pulled her back Where their lips almost hit each other.

It was near to Kyle's direction in that incident that tends to block his minds where he tends to stop singing and he wants to get off the stage at that time but he doesn't have the strength to even walk and looks like a magnet happened on his feet on he was standing well. They were on a duet so Gem saved him even less.

🎶🎶🎶🎶...It's up to you

And it's up to me

No one can say what we get to be

And why don't we rewrite the stars?

Changing the world to be ours

🎶🎶🎶🎶...You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide

But I can't have you

Everyone's eyes were on Kythem any Vins, they were on fire with excitement to see something completely new in the two. They didn't fail even they danced on the same choreography but they stopped showing what the last lyrics show above.

'But I can't have you.' Looking like they want to exist now on the dancefloor, and there's no happy ending between them. They are walking separately and they're body now were a little meters away from each other.

🎶🎶🎶🎶...We're bound to break and my hands are tied.

But suddenly Vins grabs Kythem left arms and gives a back hug. Afterward acting like they want to rewrite the stars and even Kythems was holding Vins hands that hugging her and she let her head lend on Vins' left chest and unexpectedly Vins kiss her neck. Kythem was also surprised but she wasn't angry but Kyle was already full of pain. His eyes especially he knows what means of a kiss on the neck. 'mine'.

Vins knows that she already finds differently Kythem. He can't deny that he loves Kythem. Like what kiss he done to the girl he loves, he meant it. He wants to mine, Kythem.

"Great, great, great! Because of you I still feel goosebumps!" Lyka praised Kythem here and showed the evidence.

"Yes, I thought you were just a good in modern dance but you were hiding something like steps that flying in the air!" Lester spoke to them. So everyone gets laughed at because of how he delivered.

"I agree and we didn't know you first because of your dressed and new hair extension that suits you. If Veira didn't say that you're two create a dramatic entrance we don't know that it was, really you!" Munic partly joked but it was her compliment to them.

"Opss. Isn't there any credit for the bestfriend who coaches them a great interpretative dance!" Veira said and get laughed at by her friends.

"I slept again when the blessing from heaven for dancing was showered!" Lyka said so they laughed again at what they were talking about.

" Is it truly okay, because I made a mistake on one of the choreography earlier!" but Kythem just said to them which were immediately picked up by their friends.

"In that situation, did you take any wrong steps?" primarily by Munic.

"No one can say it has, and then we're sure to win!" Lester said that the others agreed.

"By the way where is your partner?" Veira asked Kythem.

"I didn't know where he was, maybe Vins just change his outfit!" Kythem casually answered.

"By the way, there is a..." Kythem would have added something when Kyle suddenly glanced at her differently. Ky them saw that the woman that Kyle was talking to, was wrapped around on his arm while and her companions also saw it.

"Even I differ in his actions. I feel pity for him, sorry Ky but you need to know that you are not the only one who is suffering and hurting! You gave a not reasonable reason, it affects him and gives him a deeply wounded." Lester said to her Where she felt aches also in her heart.

"Kyle truly loves you!" Especially when Munic quoted these words after. Kythem sees and feels it but she can't find what is wrong why it still restrains herself even though she knows that everything is true.

"How can I prove to him now?" but it was just her answer seeing how Kyle was doing.

Kythem noticed that the staff's treat to her was suddenly changed especially, Mr.Perez. She would not have accepted to replace her broken belongings but because her teachers insisted, she accepted in return for letting go of her broken belongings because she didn't want in trouble and to be happy and memorable for everyone at this camp.

While everyone was still enjoying it, she went away and chose to be alone, where she sat in the place where she could freely see the stars shining brightly in the sky. She felt relieve even less while looking at it.

She wore a black hoodie and her shoes put it on her side. She was lying under the moon where she freely lost all the weight that she went through today. She stopped suddenly when her cellphone rang. It's a message-alert tone, which she immediately took from her pocket. It was a message coming from Vins where it contains that Vins went home first because he has a family matter.

When she put the cellphone back in her pocket, she felt it had a small thing in it and she remembered what she was put there.

A later ago, inside the ladies room where she locks there. She was desperate to get out there. Otherwise, if not they wouldn't be able to join the presentation. She wanted to cry out loud because of the hopelessness of getting out but she was trying to find a way even though it was unlikely to get out of that door because that was her only hope but she was tired of asking for help and just let go of the doorknob and sat down. She just leaned against the door. Suddenly there was a loud sound caused by the seizure and suddenly the crystal that served as the permanent covering of that window was shattered. She had no trouble getting out of there. Before she could get out Kythem saw a familiar object which is she immediately picked up and immediately ran afterward to catch up.

This is the white stone she saw when they went to an island where the Tree of Everything can be found. She was happy staring at this stone because she remembers how she is comfortable on that day.

"He's unpredictable!"

All she said after taking a deep breath after staring at that stone that was now tightly hidden in her palms as she felt the touch of the air on her body as she freely gazed at the stunning moon.

But suddenly someone interrupted her view. I caused by

a man standing it and she didn't know who it was.

"Every time you push me away I want to get away from you too and follow what you wanted to happen but I sticking to the word, I Love You!" it was Kyle and she heard this word coming from this man who was standing beside on her lying body that tends her to get up immediately from that kind of position.

"So I want to show you that no matter how hard you try to push me away, again and again, I'll come back and come back because I love you so much!" Kyle's more of it.

He sincerely says these words despite those wrong things he does to forget his love for this woman. Kythem still doesn't give any word to him. She knew that she also love Kyle but still she doesn't know how to back all this. It becomes foolishness in her thoughts.

"No matter how hard she tries to drive me away I will keep her no matter what! I will do anything to keep Kythem. Even if there are no choices I will choose her until the end!" Kyle remembered what he answered to Munic when one time they talked about how he truly feels with Kythem despite the reasons Kythem gives to drive him away.

" I almost gave up but I am here who told and show you that I am still here truly loving you!" he adds more and Kyle couldn't stop his tears at the same time to the flaw. As they were dripping, Kythem saw it Where she also couldn't stop fall her tears but She immediately cut it all off.

"We better not to be? Sorry!" became Kythem's answer to everything he said. She acted like she meant what she says but deep inside it stabbed itself into her heart.

"Why? Tell me? I want to know why we can't be?"Kyle immediately asked her.

"Sorry?... for me sorry isn't enough answer why we can't! Please tell me!" he kept asking as he drowned in the pain he was feeling. At the same time, Kythem turned away Her tears were dropping her cheeks.

It's not because she's afraid of the new commitment or because she doesn't like Kyle. It is because no matter how hard she tries to hide the true feelings for this man, and Kyle already aware of what she truly feels but, because has a personal reason why they can't be and she doesn't want to mention that to Kyle.

While it's still early she won't just tie itself that eventually they will be hurt both and it's too early for both to let go even though they love each other.

She is happy to know that the person she loves, loves her too and she will experience love like this again.

But she failed to get out of Kyle's hug from behind her and even closer she could hear the young man's sobbing which made their hearts both ache even more.

"I love you, Kythem De Castro!" Kyle whispered to her while still feeling the sob in his voice.

"Why do we have to deprive ourselves of being happy Kythem. I know I love you is not enough words to say how truly sincere to show I am to you!" Kythem can't hold her pain too while hearing this kind of words coming from Kyle.

Why did it stop itself from being happy?

Cause she already predicted what will happen for them in the future, they will not be each other but her heart keeps saying how she loves also this man who was hugging and crying on her back, showing how truly it was for her.

She faced Kyle and at the same time hugged her very tightly and she showed how she is really in pain now. She cries on Kyle's chest while hugging this man tightly. She can't deny that she like thoroughly this kind of warmth, she felt comfortable and safe in this man. She finally found on Kyle the things that she needs, but still, she wants to drive all this away. Think about this hurts her more.

"There is no need to rush but just say one word that you love me too, I will never let you go!" Kyle told these words on Kythems ears. The courage he said it even despite it The fear that Kythem would respond with the word Not by what he said but at ends, he says this bravely and let them both disappear in their embrace.

" Or tell me to stop now and I will ...!" contradictory the word he said while looking into Kythem's tears already filled on eyes. But he didn't finish What he wanted to say when suddenly.

"I love you!" Kyle finally heard this word from the woman in front of him now. From the woman he loves. He stumbled because of it.

" I loving you too Kyle!" Kythem repeats her words. She was very happy hearing this finally, knowing that they love each other. Kyle was stunned after hearing these words again from the one he loves.

He just found out that Kythem lips were on his lips too while Kythem holding by her arms his neck. He thinks that it's already enough to say that Kythem meant what she says. Kythem was about to off her lips on Kyle but Kyle wasn't satisfied and he kissing back now, on Kythem lips.

They are both now in cloud nine cause they finally decide to make themselves happy. They are now felt each warmth.

"You will never regret your decision Ky!" Kyle said to Kythem while hugging now each other under the light of the moon and billions of stars Where is it their witness to what happened to them tonight was memorable and unforgettable.
