Kythem can still feel the warmth of the lips of the person she loves the most while sleeping. She can still recall how happy she was last night. She woke up with a sweet smile wrapped in her lips. For a moment, she felt someone hugging from behind her.
She smiled knowing that her bestfriend starts her day to make her smile. "Good morning!" it is her gracious greeting to her bestfriend. Veira opens her eyes and sees that Kythem was smiley starring at her but instead she would greet her friend too, Veira just rubbed itself on Kythem's body.
"Aren't you sulking with me anymore?" Kythem question. "Grumpy!" but Veira replied almost in a whisper.
"Especially Mama because you forgot her birthday!" Veira added. So Kythem was surprised because she forgot and it just reminded her now.
"I am sorry! Next week can you come with me to visit Auntie?" She found out that it didn't even cross her mind or even remember it. Her mind was that heavy what she went through or how much she thought of the past few days to forget this important event and miss it.
"Mama knows how much you've been thinking lately. I'm sorry too because instead of helping you, my contribution to you still dominates!" Veira explained to her that's why she felt more shame.
"Sorry, my bestie!" Kythem said as they hugged each other. "It's okay, I'll go to sleep first. I'm still sleepy!" Veira said and took another nap.
It was too early to prepare their belongings so Kythem just chose to get out of the tent to fulfill her friend's wish to sleep.
She Opens her tent and there was something display outside of it. A grape refreshing drink that was her favorite. Only one person she immediately thought of doing it.
She was smiling while took this drink and noticed that it had a sticky note on it.
_~_~_~
Good morning beautiful.
I love you!
- Kyle your boyfriend
_~_~_~
Kythem read this message. She even bites her lower lip as she smiled because it kept her from kilig feeling caused by Kyle.
Everyone is already walking to the gate where they held their camping to wait for the University Bus that will take them home. Lyka, Munic, Veira, and Kythem walk together with their belongings.
"It was a nice camp, I hope it will happen again!" Munic words even though she was burdened carrying with her belongings.
"Forget what hurt you but never forget what it thought you, an inspirational message that I will take home. How about you guys?" Lyka said and still smiled as she said this to them.
"Don't let your dreams just be dreams, this is mine!" Munic also shared what she got in this camp which was also praised by her friends.
"If you can't believe in your self at least do it for the people who believe in you!" Vera directly shares.
"How about you Ky?" Munic immediately asked her because she just noticed that Kythem was just listening to them.
"The words that still have an impact on me that our speaker says that I will take home was, receive more scars and be happy than anyone else, no matter what life you are living, only walk steps where the scenery is nice! That's it!" Kythem said.
"It was good to see because this camp taught us a lot that can be carried for a lifetime!" Veira commented.
"Yeah, but now let's go back to where we used to be. College life is back!" Lyka said that the reason why they formed a funny reaction was that they had nothing to do but to face it.
"Hello, girls!" Lester casually said as they finally arrived at the gate. But Kyle's eyes were on the one woman who looked smiling perfectly to him too. Kyle greeted the woman he loved who still couldn't fathom how joyous he felt. Especially when he thought they're finally in a relationship. Kythem also acted the same way.
"Let's go!" Kyle said because their bus was already there. But everyone was stunned after they saw that Kythem and Kyle's smile at each other can't cut off. They witnessed how Kyle freely got Kythem bag to carry it and preceded them, together.
They trembled, even more, when they saw that the two were holding hands together. They can't help themself to feel kilig because the answer to their question is already obvious.
Kythem got on the bus first and was seated in a seat near the bus window. Kythem is about to drink when she heard, "Kyle I reserved you here a seat!" Gem said to him, a seat that she offered was next to her. Kythem found out that Gem was sitting on the other side of her seat.
"Sorry but I already have next with my girlfriend!"
Gem was surprised by Kyle's response to her especially when she saw the man she loves was sitting next to Kythem.
Kyle didn't know how he gives a full of happiness to his girlfriend's heart even in that simple way, her girlfriend seeing that he is proud to say that he is already taken so she can't hold her smile stop.
In the middle of their trip going home, they still have in their mind what they found out about Kythem and Kyle.
"This camping is worth it, especially when we know that our shippers were finally in a relationship. Eyyy!." Lyka still has a lot of kilig with their two friends.
"Kyle just doesn't make any mistake to hurt our friend so that he can't taste my punch!" Veira said. She was happy to know that her friend was happy now again.
"It's just camping was the answer to put them in a relationship!" Lyka joked.
"But at camping, Kythem also experienced how to pull her clothes and almost die, accuse, throw into the ditch, destroy her things," despite how happy they are, Veira can't stop herself from recalling what happened to her bestfriend during camping.
"Yeah, then there's another, a performance - a war of jealousy! But we also enjoy it!" they even laughed at what they said knowing that despite such events, time still sided with the call of love of their two friends.
"Munic what's wrong?" Veira asked her friend when she saw that her mood had changed.
" Are you not feeling well?" Lyka asked.
"I just want to take a nap, I'm a little dizzy!" Munic immediately answered them who immediately fell on her seat and closed her eyes. But the two shrugged and started talking to their friend again. Munic was annoyed to hear any words but just turned a blind eye to help her mind keep silent in bear her thoughts.
Meanwhile, Gem's eyes narrowed with jealousy as she saw Kyle and Kythem lustrously talking and sitting next to each other. Even though she sees the two was holding hands, she still tries to dismiss the reality, that what she sees is not true. It makes her even more annoyed because her friends chastise her. So Gina gets sharp words to come to her. Every time she glances at the spot of the two, she can say that the two were smiling while babbling. In her mind, she would not allow others to get The man that the reason she was determined to get up every day.
It's been two days since they were in a relationship. Ky them went home because she was going to get some important stuff. Their servant immediately greeted her happily at the gate and picked up the belongings she had to sent to her room. She would have asked if her parents came home to catch a glimpse of the image of her mother sitting on the couch in their living room and smiling at her but she responded with a straight face. Ms. Ellie approached her and hugged her but her behavior remained the same.
"I miss you my daughter!" her mother muttered to her after kissing on her forehead.
"I'm going to rest!" she just said and stepped up to her room. "Can we talk?" but Kythem stopped when her mother spoke again, she returned with the same look.
"For what? I am disappointed with you!" Kythem knew why her mother would talk to her so she just preceded it.
"You're wrong in what you're thinking my daughter!" but it's just her mother's answer to what she said.
" I am wrong? What's the use of all this if I already know my parent... I, I HATE this!" she didn't speak what she wants to say because it was just one word to say, Kythem knew she would regret it afterward, so it just released the annoyance with the last words she spoke.
She wants a completely happy family.
"Kythem, my daughter please don't hate your mom. Yes, I did wrong but one day you will also know and understand why!" her mom said while she let fall tears that had been forming on edges in her eyes.
"I don't get you, mom! Tell me now, so that I will know what another lies I can hear on you, just in case I will believe your lies!" Kythem said in a raspy voice.
Asking herself if her eyes weren't tired of tears because she was so tired.
"What's happening here?" Mr. De Castro calmly asked them when he found his wife was like that.
"Why do you have to lead to fooling around with each other?" Kythem said only in her mind. She would like to ask her parents about this but, she really can't. Not because she hasn't the guts to say but not better to say. She was afraid that their family will be ruined.
"I'm sorry but I already ate dinner. I need to rest now!" she just said and continued to walk into her room while wiping with the hand her wet Eyes and cheeks.
Her parents were looking at her while going to her room. Her mother was in pain seeing her child was disappointed in her but she strongly holds tears so that her husband could not see it.
"What's wrong?" her husband asked but failed to find it because his wife wiped her tears.
"Nothing to worries." it's still a lie but Mr. De Castro knows that it has, so he hugged his wife.
"Maybe we should tell her now the truth!" Mrs. De Castro said in a down voice this to her husband as it disappeared from their embrace.
"I don't think so, she might misinterpret us, and her heart will move further away from us!" but Mr. De Castro said, he instead worries his daughter about telling their secret, he already knows what his wife is referring to.
"Someday we can tell her, our daughter is a kind one. She will understand us, but it is not the right time to reveal !" he added and hugged his wife again.
"They teach me to hate them much!" Kythem complain as she bound her body to lay on her bed while staring at its ceiling. She took another deep breath before wiping her chin wet with tears.
She stopped when her ringtone suddenly rang. Looking at it on the cellphone screen it was called from Kyle, her boyfriend.
"I miss you!" she heard the man's voice immediately on the other line.
"Mmm .." it was just her response.
"Are you okay, why did my love's voice change?" Kyle's tenderness to her. Kyle didn't fail to make her smile.
"I miss you too!" Kythem meant what she said.
" I know!" Her boyfriend joyfully answered immediately.
"It's a bit late now, we have a class tomorrow my love. I just called you because I missed you right away and to sure if you are safe going home!" he said with mixed with tenderness.
"See you tomorrow my love!" Kythem said to her boyfriend.
"I love you, Kythem De Castro!" Kyle chased after his girlfriend's words.
"I know too. I love you too Kyle Chavez. Goodnight!" Kythem said to him.
"Sleep well I love you! See you tomorrow." Kyle replied while wrapping their face with smiles and can't explain the kind of happiness in their heart before they end their call.
Kythem is already in the classroom, their class is currently starting. Ky them still haven't clue because Vins still hasn't entered their class. She texted the man but she still did not receive a reply from her friend. Vins last texted her was the time when a night before the end of their camping.
Meanwhile, Kyle had just finished their second class and he was now walking down a hallway with Lester. They still had a one-and-a-half-hour free before their next class started. They go to the cafeteria to buy something to eat and he will buy something that his girlfriend's favorite drink before heading to their department later because Kyle knows that Kythem has no class break in this morning. After all, they are direct to their next class.
But instead of delicious food, they encounter a very sharp look from Carol walking in their direction.
"I won't let both of you having fun!" Carol whispered to him as they stopped walking when they met and she immediately walked straight.
"That's why the weather isn't hot because it all went to Her head! thanks to her." Lester immediately let out this word as he watched Carol walk away from them.
"Come on, I'm starving!" but Kyle just said and walked first to his friend so Lester just followed. He was worried about what might happen but he still hoped that it wasn't like what he was thinking because it wasn't like that when he met Carol.
"Earlier someone delivered something like that!" Ellen said who was set next to her and referred to the drink that Kyle had given.
"Now there's more to come, a special someone was picking you up!" she added but Kythem just smiled.
"I hope everyone has a boyfriend having that type of sweet!" while it was Rose said.
"Crazy!" but Kythem just answered them as a smile wrapped around her face as she picks up her belongings.
"Eyyyy, she is kilig!" So she reached this with the two.
" Just give this time to me !" she said jokingly so she tastes a pinched in her side comes from the two.
"Stop, stop, stop!" she just said because she had a tickle on the waist and the two ended it.
"See you!" but it is her immediately happily said of escaping to the hand of her two classmates and immediately left the classroom and greeted her boyfriend with a smile as they simultaneously held out their hands.
"How can I not feel a kilig?" Kyle joked to his girlfriend which meant it made him smile even more.
"Stop liking me!" Kythem replied jokingly to him as they walked holding Their hands.
"I don't want to, because I'm in love with you even more!" but Kyle still stretched her and he couldn't hide the feeling of kilig because of the smile that wrapped around their lips.
"The duration of the two, I'm starving!" said Veira while they were waiting for a few minutes for the two so that they can have lunch together.
"Kyle said they're on their way here," Lester said after reading The message from his friend.
"What's going on with Munic, her head is getting hot again?" Lyka whispered to Veira next to her after learning that her friend's two eyebrows were meeting.
"Maybe there's a monthly period!" but Veira also whispered a joking answer to Lyka. So they just shrugged.
"Speaking of the two devils, Este lover!" but Lester said jokingly when Kythem and Kyle arrived at that place.
"Short hair but like Rapunzel to treat with her boyfriend!" Veira commented to her friend so she smirks.
"Munic, you're stepping on my hair!" Kythem added jokingly so their comrades laugh but were suddenly cut off because Munic had a different viewpoint of it.
"You're going to braid your hair, we've already stepped on it!" but suddenly that tension was shattered when Munic spoke like this Where they rode The trip with friends.
"Let's eat, the wind was already blowing in our heads because what we're thinking was full of craziness. " Kyle said so they agreed but her friends were still joking.
"Soda or water are you now?" Kyle asked his girlfriend.
"Water!" his girlfriend replied So he stood up to the refrigerator near the counter. But she stopped suddenly to see The image of Carol heading in their direction. Others also found out why Kyle was suddenly stopped.
Kythem's smile was discontinuous as the others talked and she looked behind her and realized that Kyle was still standing there. Kythem would have asked more when she suddenly saw Carol approaching in their direction but Carol stopped in front of Kyle.
In a second, she witnessed how Carol forcefully reached her boyfriend's neck. It looked like the picture she watching was suddenly zoomed in on the lips of Kyle and Carol that meet and it was only she could see. That kiss also lasted a few seconds.
Kythem just saw that Carol just smiled afterward.
"I know you miss that kind of taste. Wish granted!" and the woman said it and immediately left where she left everyone still surprised at what she did, especially Kythem that trying to hold her emotion.
