"Sorry!"
Kyle never stopped apologizing to his girlfriend.
They are now walking to their department building, where their friends walk first so they can talk because even if his girlfriend says it's alright, Kyle feels it's still not. He noticed the sudden silence of Kythem.
They stopped abruptly where Kythem faced him with a smile. Kyle recognizes that it's not the smile he always sees.
"I'd be a fool to say I wasn't hurt. Kyle, it's not your fault, I know Carol just did that to make me jealous. She won cause I felt jealous but, I believe in you and your love for me!" Kythem warmly clarified this to him.
"I entered into this relationship that from the very beginning I knew we could lose both if we carried into not understand or not trusting to each other!" she more of it.
"Thanks to her because she's the one who tests us how far can be stronger our relationship is!" Kythem still stretched. "Sorry!" but Kyle still apologized to her because Kythem didn't deserve hurt behind all those words she gave.
"Don't be sad because I won't let you go like that- Just like that? No." but Kythem said as she hugged her boyfriend.
"Trust me that everything will be fine!" her boyfriend replied after kissing her on the forehead.
"I will. See you later!" Kythem said because many of their fellow students are already coming. Before Kyle finally enters the room, he smiled and waved to his girlfriend who was heading to the next room after the room that mediates between them, same does with Kythem.
"Kyle, you're here, please check this, is it okay?" A female classmate of Kyle's said. It is one of his group mates after being greeted near the door and checks their draft paper reports which are later assigned to them to report.
"Wait, I'll review it first!" he answers while sitting on a vacant set near the window.
"Okay, include this as well!" Kyle replied to the classmate he was talking about after pointing some words in the paper.
Their room was a bit noisy because everyone was meeting and discussing their reporting.
"Kyle!" Gem in a charming voice said after she approached him and Lyka noticed it, so she gave a signal to Veira and Munic to find out and she didn't fail to get the attention of the two so they looked at something that she was talking about.
"Mmm?" Kyle replied, on the other hand, he was asking what she meant because Kyle focused on the paper draft because they could report it later. Gem was disappointed in how he responded but still, she holds to a smile even Kyle didn't saw it.
"I just want to take this back to you. This is the hoodie you lent me." Gem kinda loudly said as she handed the white paper bag to Kyle. It was the hoodie that Kyle had lent to her as they went camping the past few days.
" It helps me keep warm. Thank you again!"Gem was as she added.
"You should better thank me because I own that hoodie. I just lent it to him!" but Lester casually interrupted and took the white paper bag that Gem was giving to Kyle.
Gem was surprised because she thought it was Kyle, she even assumed when she wore it, Kyle hugged her too. But now it turns out that it was Lester so she was even more disappointed.
"Is... is that yours?" but still Gem making sure of it.
"Yes it was Lester clothing, I just borrowed it!" and finally Kyle confirms it so she felt more shame.
"Why..why did you borrow him?" she was still startled and asking because she still couldn't believe it.
Kyle was surprised why she asked in that way so Kyle look at her finally.
" Cause I lent my favorite hoodie last time with Kythem." and answer it this way.
"So you own the hoodie that Kythem brought to camp, which it's a good thing that it wasn't brought to ruin by someone who intentionally destroyed her belongings!" Veira interrupts them.
"I think so because I saw that my girlfriend wore it the nights before we back home," Kyle said so Gem became even more annoyed and ashamed because of all this.
They just stopped chatting when their professor eventually came.
Mr. Francis is walking now in a building were heading to the President Office of the University, where one of Kythem instructor who holds their mathematics subject.
He does not know why he was called there. He thought it looks like it's still a novice for his early promotion, it was his silly speculates.
Upon entering the office, he warmly greets the President of the University which is Mr. Largavista, the father of Gem who was sitting near his office table.
"I have something to favor with you, Sir!" Mr. Largavista says afterward.
"Yes Mr. President, what is that?" Mr. Francis politely replied.
"You know Kythem De Castro a freshmen student here. It says here you are the one who handled the mathematics subject to them." and Mr. Francis admits that he was it.
"I look at her final grades, she was a kind of excellent student but not on Dean's list because she hasn't reached the goals of being it cause you are the only one who gives her lower grades." the University President further said to him.
"I am just downright my duty here Sir. Yes, she is a kind of excellent but I am just computing her grades based on what she gave to me that based on our given criteria!" Mr. Francis in a relaxed explanation.
"What I am just saying Sir that you do something that you may regret! While it's still early I'm giving you a chance to change the grades you gave to her." but almost in a whisper tone when the University President said to him.
"For what Sir? I mean it's unfair for those students who have struggled. Yes, they all worked hard to get such grades. I am just giving them equal treatment as our school rules!" but the university president still could not regain the mind of Mr. Francis to change the grades it gave to Kythem.
"Why should I do that Mr. President?" but it is still an additional astonishing question of Mr. Francis, but he sees that Mr. Largavista the University President hesitant to tell him what the reason is.
"I guess, I was right!" he just smiled in response after seeing that was the reaction of his interlocutor.
"Everyone already knows who truly she is!" he added. So Mr. President was surprised at what he revealed.
"We have a lot here who was guarding her right now after she was almost raped!"
Mr. Francis was the step-older brother of Reig who was a cousin of Kythem. What he was talking about was the newly added guard now in University, the janitor, the university nurse, and Veira. But all this was Veira and Reig's plan to make sure Kythem's are safe.
"You know how we secured her true identity. I hope you too Mr. President would guarantee her safety because if anything happens to her or revealed her identity you know what may happen to you!" He thinks it was enough to say to help keep it quiet and calm the others even more.
"You know this is really what the owner of the University wants to have fair and equal treatment to everyone So I just follow Kythems. I have a class now Mr. President. I'll go ahead! " and Mr. Francis came out of that office. But still, he was afraid that others might know this especially Kythems father who doesn't know about this, that his daughter wasn't studying at the university that he choice entered that sucked for her daughter's life so Kythem was able to fool him all this time.
Kythem knows that her father was busy to know it so she did it well. Even she betrayed her father, it exchanged a wonderful life she had dreamed of, since she was little.
The President of the University was left to fend for himself because he, the head, did not know such information. The information that he did not know that his job and name might be dangerous.
"I'm also aware of that because the other staff's treatment of her suddenly changed, but I'm sure they didn't mention anything to Kythem because if I had one, I'd be the first to know it about."
" I still don't know how they found out. My classmates don't seem to know it yet, I don't hear anything! "
Veira just spoke this to Reig on the other line.
Reig reported that the entire staff of the University knew their best-kept secret about her bestfriend.
"Okay, I will contact you! Bye." She just answered what Reig told her and a few seconds later they dropped the call.
She still hasn't clue why the staff found out that. And there's another thing that she still clueless about the one person that still connects to her friend what happens when they are held camped.
She still thinks about what it motives why she sabotage and turn into pieces all Kythem's belongings during their camp. When she saw the first video she can think of even a good reason why she does that kind of thing but witnessing how she cut into pieces Kythems belongings, Veira thinks her differently.
Meanwhile, it was already afternoon.
Kythem and Kyle are under a big tree where they prefer to study together. Kythem was sitting in a meter-length chair and Kyle was lying on her thigh while taking a nap for a while, while she was finishing what she was reading.
She is about to put down the book she is holding when she stopped yet.
Earlier, Kyle's book was still covering his face, but it was already down to his neck and his growing eyebrows and eyelashes could be seen even it was covered by his graded glasses.
Kythems won't deny that she likes this kind of view so she smiled. Without her knowing she slowly pulls out the book that covering half of her boyfriend's face. And finally, she saw the whole face of her love like a child who was sleeping where she suddenly humming a song that Kyle's sung the day where she first asked to go out but she just says 'sorry' while she combing her boyfriend hair with her hand.
Only now did she see it so close again and she noticed that it had a small mole near its lower lip. But she was stunned at what she was doing when she saw it suddenly form a smile on the man's lips which then made his eyes open.
"Yes I am already your baby!" and Kyle's delighted language immediately.
"I know!" she answers after holding her boyfriend's hand.
"Kyle, what if I don't love you?" And add a question that goes like this.
"I know you do love me but, if you don't I will still loving you until you want me!" but Kyle also answered this way to her.
" Why did you love me?" but Kythem still has a question, it was not to be sure how Kyle deeply loves her, her only motive is to know it.
"Cause you are the reason why I'm happy." he truly answered.
"Is that how I'm worth it? I have a lot of flaws that you don't know yet, I'm afraid that you may leave me after if you discover it." Yes, Kyle still doesn't know who she truly was, she hasn't said yet because Kythem thinks that maybe Kyle thought negative, like taking advantage or granted her, or maybe Kyle's vision or view of her will change that may affect their relationship.
"We are all worth it but not everyone sees that. And I am sure and found you that no need to prove everything to be love. I am willing to know it someday, don't be afraid because my true love for you is not measured by anything. "
She was relieved after that but still theirs a side of negativity that still hits her.
Kythem is not just a kind of ordinary woman because she has a heavy future responsible to bear. And someday they will end this kind of relationship because not they don't want but It was about of her family matters, in terms of their wealthiness.
"What if ..."
But Kyle keeps her mouth shut suddenly by grabbing her lips. So she gambled even though she already knew what they would end up within the end.
Kyle sure and truly loves her and the reason why she wants to change her future, stay and fight it for all sake this relationship until the end.
All Kythem thinks was suddenly blank while keeping the taste of their love that also lasted a long second.
"I will fight this relationship because I just promised to love you to the end. I want you to be my last! "Kyle said meaningfully to her after she smiled as they left their lips on each other.
Just like Kythem, she didn't want to be hurt anymore because of love.
"Even you are not my first girl, I already believe forward that you are my last!" Kyle said as he kissed again in a second his girlfriend's lips.
All this was witnessed by Gem and Carol who were watching them far from them.
Gem can't deny how much pain she was seeing the guy she likes, that already liking her rival. It's fun to see somehow that the two are happy but she thinking that someday she might find a guy who loves her like that.
Carol wipes her tears before she turned and walks around on what she watches, it is enough to say that she just wasted the person who loved her most, accepting what she is but it's too late for her to take back after knowing that it's having comfortable with others. It says that she truly loves Kyle, and knows that there is still a way for Kyle to get back at her because no one can match her love for the man.
"As I said I won't let you be happy!" even her cheeks were wet with her tears she has the guts to grins wide.
Preview.
It is Carol's birthday now, she was now celebrating with Kyle who was now fully drunk with her side. So often Kyle doesn't want them to meet for alcohol because it's easy for him to get drunk. He also drank a lot because Carol forced him to drink. Kyle enjoys the wine that is given so he does not know that he drinks too much. He even laying on the couch that tends Carol to smile at what she already planned to do. Carol now was seducing him in this kind of unconscious and fully drunk situation of him. Carol kept on mumbling things about their past. Kyle's eyes were sleepy and his voice was a bit shaky. Kyle didn't know that his girlfriend was watching them and partly shock when Kyle suddenly kiss Carol, his ex-girlfriend.
