STORY 7

THE OTHER GUY

"Chaz! arat arcade!"

"Sorry, Zack. I cant"

"Hulaan ko pupuntahan mo nanaman si Benidict tapos ikaw gagawa ng shool works nya" she seem shocked about what I said

"H-How did you?"

"How did I know? The notebook you gave me hindi saiyo yun kay Ben yun. And I saw your writings there. Tell me,Chazmin jinowa kalang ba niyan para pagawin ng mga projects at assignment nya? By the looks of him? he's not the type that will like a girl you" Nagulat ako sa mga sinabi ko but its too late to take it back. She's already crying and its because of me.

"Why Zach?Kasi pangit ako?Nerdy look? Benidict said he loves me and I believe him. Stop messing with my relationship with Ben, your just my bestfriend you have no right" then she left. Yes, she's right I'm just a foolish bestfriend who madly inlove with her.

----

"Zack,ahmm about what I said last time I didnt mean it I hope you will not take it seriously?" I sigh. Wala siyang ideya na hindi ko talaga kayang magalit sakanya kahit na nasasaktan nya na ako, I can't.

"Sus,ok lang iyon may nasabi rin naman ako na masakit eh so quits, kahit ang gag*  naman talaga ng boyfriend mo" I know she didn't hear the last words, and I'm glad.

"ganun lang talaga yun si Ben pero mahal ako nun Zack I can feel it" I can't say that I saw his boyfriend kissing another girl at the mall and its not her. I cannot. I don't want to see her crying and hurting at the same time.

----

"Zack! H-huhu Ben's cheating on me!" I think hindi kona kailangan pang sabihin sakanya ang lahat she already discover it on her own.

"S-Shhh stop crying. I'm here" I hug her and slowly tap her head. This is my role as his bestfriend. Comforting her and offer a shoulder to cry on. Stop shredding tears for a man like him. He's not worth it. Choose me,Chaz and will let you feel the love that you deserve. Love me, and I will treat you better. I want to say that to her, but I restrain my self.

"I don't want to love anymore!" medyo nilayo ko sya para makita ko ang mukha nya. She's drowned in tears and I hate seing her like this.

"Don't say that. If you can love a wrong person that much. Then imagine how much you can love the right one." i brushed her hair with my hands and smiled

"I love you Chazmin. Not as your bestfriend but more than that. Can I be the other guy that you can share your life forever?"

"Z-Zach I don't know what to say"

"I'm giving you time to think Chaz, because you deserve it. But, pls don't take it for long. I want you to be mine,officially"
