Protecting Him

She started to cry as she remembered the scene she never expect to witness just a while ago. It seems like her heart was shattered into a million pieces. Her tears slowly ran down her pinkish cheeks. She can't bear all the pain, her emotions are overflowing just like the rain which pours so hard outside her abode.

She sat on her bed and dialled her bestfriend's number. After not less than 2 rings, finally, the maiden on the other line spoke.

"Hello?"

She heard her soft voice. She tried to calm herself so that her friend, April, wouldn't notice that she's crying.

It takes some time to control back her tears. And then finally,

"April, it's me." she manage herself not to sob.

 

"Aila? Oh my gosh, after how many months you finally called! Hmp, you're being unfair! How dare you!!" she distance the cellphone from her ear so that her eardrums will not be damaged due to the loud voice from the other line.

 

April, her bestfriend, lives in the Philippines. April was her protector and savior since elementary but since her family moved to another country due to their business matters, they part their ways.

They're so close to each other. In fact, they're more like sisters, caring and loving each other.

'God! How I miss this girl.' she told herself.

 

And then all of a sudden, she felt the pain she was feeling a while ago. She started to cry for she cannot control herself.

April, on the other line, heard her sobs.

"Hey! I'm just kidding. If you're crying because of what I've said, I'm sorry. Shhh.." she really appreciate her bestfriend's effort of comforting her.

"Thanks best.. for comforting me and all. For being there when I feel I'm broken." She owe her.

"Broken? Why? What happened? Tell me.."

Aila felt guilty of keeping a secret from April, about being dump by her boyfriend in the front of everyone a couple of hours ago. So, she decided to tell her the truth.

"April, the truth is...Nick and I broke up. I mean, he dump me in the front of people. He told me that he never loved me and.....and I'm just his toy. " And her tears began to fall again. She heard April cuss on the other line.

"What the fudge! How dare he do such thing to you? And what else did he do? Tell me, Aila!!"

I sighed. I need her advice right now, at this moment. There is no turning back.

"He stole my virginity."

 

And with that I heard her cuss again. I even hear something crashed on the other line.

"April please....calm down." I told her.

"No! How can I calm down when I know you've been hurt by some stupid, jerk? This is unbelievable!"

"April please don't tell my parents about this. I can't bear it."

"What? And you're planning to keep this from them? Are you out of your mind?"

 

"April...I love him. I really love him."

"What?! Arrgghh! Tell me his full name and he's going to pay!"

"But--" I protested.

 

"No buts.If you don't want your parents to know the truth, you'll tell me his name!"

And again, she won.

"Ok, ok. I'll just text you his name. Bye for now, best." I heard her murmured like this...

'you're just trying to protect the hell out of that bastard.'

And then she hang up the phone. I lay on my bed thinkin'

What if she'll do something her way? It's not that I don't trust her, of course she's my bestfriend and I trust her for she loves me like a sister. And as a sister, I'm afraid she might be in trouble if she'll know him.

She has lots of connections...

And for sure she'll do anything for me to get even with Nick.

And finally, after 3 and a half hours, I made up my mind.

 

To: April

 

Best, he is Nick Seiji Montessori. Please let me handle this thing. I know you care for me but I also care for you. So, don't try to do something against him.

 

P.S: I love you, sis! mwah.
