KATE ROSE
We decided to spend one hour in the cafeteria to wait for our class this morning. When we had seven minutes before our class starts, we decided to go to our first class. Our professor was not yet there when we arrived in our room. There were students waiting there for our professor. We kept quiet and it seemed like nothing had happened.After a few minutes, our professor arrived. She dismissed us early, so we decided to go to the library and study for our upcoming exams next week.We were walking towards the library when our friend Chloe stopped suddenly. We also stopped with full of astonishment. She looked at us with her face frowning.Eliza asked her in astonishment, "What's going on and you stopped walking, huh?"Our friend Chloe closed her eyes, but it was only for a few seconds. She looked to us and she looked again at the side of the stairs we'd passed. We also looked at the direction where she's looking at. My eyes widened when I saw again the man I had bumped into and I had fought earlier who had cheated on to our friend Chloe. He was accompanied by a beautiful and sexy woman with a colored hair. The beautiful woman's hair color is red."Oh my goodness! Is he the man who had hurt and cheated on to our friend Chloe?" Eliza asked us while covering her mouth with her left hand. Chloe couldn't take her eyes off them with her two fists clenched. She was furious."Yes, Eliza. That's Dark Louiz, the man who broke and hurt our friend Chloe. Let's just ignore him. He can't help us. Come on, guys!" Anna said, inviting us to leave and ignore what we'd seen."Okay," Eliza said.When we were about to continue walking towards the library our friend Chloe stopped and spoke with us. We'd no idea why."Guys, please wait..." Chloe said."Why?" I asked."Please let me do this," she said, "for the last time." We exchanged looks and Anna spoke next to our friend Chloe. She's wondering."Wait, Chloe. We can't even understand you. What do you mean, huh?" She was frowning and her eyes were in tears. Our friend Chloe cleared her throat before answering to us."Please allow me to talk to him even for the last time," she begged. I opened my mouth to speak because I couldn't stand it anymore. I need to stop her from what she's going to do."Why do you want to talk to him? It's all over. The man you loved had cheated on you. He hurt and broke your heart and you don't need to talk to him anymore. Please, Chloe. Don't talk to him anymore. We should go to the library now. He'll hurt you again if you do what you want. Please, listen to us, Chloe," I begged. Chloe took a very deep breath.''Yeah, I know, but I need to talk to him and even for the last time," Chloe insisted."No, Chloe! You're not going to talk to him again. You're going to look stupid. So, let's get out of here!" I answered and held her two hands."Allow me please, to talk to him for the last time," she insisted again. I sighed heavily while I was still holding her cold sweaty hands."You have to listen to us, Chloe. We're your friends. We know what's the best for you to do and we don't want to hurt you again because of him. You don't have to talk to him! He broke your heart and you should forget him and move on for your own peace. You have to move on, please. Let's go to the library now. Come on, guys!" I said.Her tears fell from her eyes again and we hugged her so tight. I caressed her back to calm her down. Our friend Chloe was heartbroken and I felt heartbroken too, because of her situation. She nodded and we went in the library. She was wiping her tears with a tissue paper when we entered the library.When afternoon came, we got home early because we had no class. Auntie Rosa wasn't yet there when I'd arrived at her house where I was temporarily living. She's still at work. It was already dark when she arrived from the office where she'd worked. My Auntie Rosa was tired from her work. She sat down on the couch immediately. Before she spoke to me, she took a deep breath."Finally, I'm home. You know I'm so tired working for almost eight hours," she said wearily. I sat down in front of her. I nodded."You have to rest for a while, auntie. There's probably no work that isn't tiring, right?" I replied. Auntie Rosa nodded."Yeah, I agree with you. There's really no work that isn't tiring and even chewing food is tiring," Auntie Rosa said jokingly. We both laughed."You were right, auntie," I said, laughing. "But how was your day?" Auntie Rosa asked. I shrugged my shoulders."It was okay, auntie," I said. "We'd no class this afternoon, so we got home early.""Oh, really?" she answered. I nodded."Yes," I said. "I have a question to ask for you.""What is it?" She asked. I sighed again before I asked my auntie who waits for what I should ask for her."One of my classmates was hurt and cheated by her ex-boyfriend, she loved. Her boyfriend was a playboy and hurt a lot of women," I said, staring at her seriously."Is that so?" Her eyes got bigger."Yes, auntie," I answered. "Her ex-boyfriend was a playboy and hurt a lot of women.""And now what?" Auntie Rosa frowned."I want to ask you about...""About what?""About," I said, "why a man becomes a playboy? Why does he become a playboy, auntie? What are the reasons? I'm sure there are reasons why a man becomes a playboy, right?" Her eyes widened and she took a deep breath again."There are many reasons why a man becomes a playboy. Some of them wanted to have more women. Others have become bitter in love because their beloved girlfriends left them and they can't accept the fact that the person they'd loved left them and to forget, they'd made the women into toys, fooled, and hurt them afterwards. While the others just can't do anything with their lives, so that's what they do. There are so many reasons," Auntie Rosa explained and I nodded with her.When I was lying down in my bed, I still couldn’t help, but think what my auntie told me about the possible reasons why a man becomes a playboy. And I also I'm thinking of our friend Chloe, who's hurt and heartbroken because of Dark Louiz.I quickly got up from my bed and tried to call her, but she's not answering my call.I sighed and closed my eyes for a few seconds. When I opened my eyes, I completely turned off my cell phone. Maybe she's asleep, so she didn't answer my call anymore. I lay down again on my bed and looked up at the ceiling of the room I was sleeping in. I let out a series of sighs and didn't realize I had fallen asleep.We had an early class, so I woke up early the next day. It was quiet inside our university campus when I was there. I have seen students there, but only a few. It's still early, so I haven't seen a lot of students yet. I was walking towards our classroom when my cell phone rang. Our friend Chloe is calling me and I answered her call immediately."Good morning, Chloe. How are you feeling today? Are you okay now?" I greeted my friend. Our friend Chloe let out a deep sigh before answering me. Her voice was hoarse as she spoke."Good morning too, Kate Rose. Are you at school yet?" She answered me. She asked me if I’m in university yet."Yes, Chloe. I'm already here in our university. Why are you asking? Are you coming here now?" I asked her and she let out a deep sigh again before answering me."No, Kate Rose. I can't come in now," she said softly and my lips parted."Huh? Why don't you come in now? What's wrong?" I asked my friend."I'm not feeling well, Kate Rose.""Oh, really? You're not feeling well?"Chloe nodded. "Yes, I'm sorry.""It's okay, Chloe. If you're not feeling well right now you have to drink your medicine or see a doctor. And you don't have to worry if our professors found out you're not around because we'll take care of letting them know that you're not feeling well," I said, worriedly."Ah, okay, Kate Rose," she said. "Thank you so much.""You're always welcome, Chloe. Get well soon.""I know. Thank you again, Kate Rose. Keep safe.""You too,'' I replied.After we ended our conversation on the other line, I closed my eyes and let out a deep sigh.KATE ROSE I told both my friends what Chloe said.They wanted to visit our friend Chloe. We cannot go there because we had a class for the whole day. Our class will be ended at seven thirty in the evening. "Maybe we can visit her tomorrow if she's still not feeling well," I said to my two friends. The two of them nodded and after that we remained silent for a few minutes."I felt sad for our friend Chloe," Anna said after a few minutes of silence. We're eating lunch.''Yeah, I feel you, Anna. Why does she even have to go through something like this? She's still a good person, right?" Eliza inquired. I nodded and I started to open my mouth to speak."You are right. Why did she have to experience this? She's a good person, a good woman," I said to them. I took a deep breath and I remembered the man who cheated on her. I want to see him again. I want to confront him.I went home at eight o'clock in the evening. My Auntie Rosa was already there."How was your day?" Auntie Rosa asked me a
KATE ROSE"We will go to a birthday party this coming Saturday," Auntie Rosa announced at me."Birthday party this coming Saturday?" I confirmed."Yes, it's a birthday party. Do you have something to do this coming Saturday? If you don't have something to do, we should go there together. Do you want to come with me, huh?" Auntie Rosa asked me. I thought for a while before answering Auntie Rosa, "Who has a birthday this coming Saturday, Auntie Rosa?" I asked her."It's Mrs. Romero's birthday this coming Saturday. Mrs. Romero is my co-worker and one of my friends. She invited me to attend her birthday party this coming Saturday," Auntie Rosa told me. I immediately nodded after she explained. "Ah, okay." I nodded."So, you're coming with me this coming Saturday for Mrs. Romero's birthday party?" She asked me again. I have nothing to do this coming Saturday. I'm not going anywhere either, so I just agreed with my Auntie Rosa that I would go with her to the birthday party of her co-worker M
KATE ROSEI can't forget what really happened last night. I can't believe those things I knew of them. Dark Louiz is an asshole. I hate that man. I hate everything from him. It's already nine thirty in the morning when I rose on my bed. I ate breakfast alone. It's Sunday, so I need to rest the whole day.Before I go to sleep that evening, I tried to call our friend Chloe. I felt glad when she answers my calls."Hey! How are you now? Are you going back to school tomorrow?" I asked her. Chloe answered immediately."Yes, I have to go back to school. I had missed so many lessons, so I need to have a self-study just to learn our previous lessons I've missed," she said. I became happy when I heard it coming from her."That's good to hear from you, Chloe. Finally, you made up your mind to go back to our school tomorrow," I said, smiling to my friend Chloe."Yeah, I've realized that it's not good for me to stay here in my bedroom. I need to start again," she said. I felt relieved when she sai
KATE ROSEI'm on my way going to our university when I remembered what my Auntie Rosa had said last night when we were eating our dinner. She wants Dark Louiz and me to be friends, but I don't want to be his friend. I don't want an evil and a playboy friend. I came in early. I hate coming in late. Our professor wasn't there, so we went to the library to study because we had exams in our next class. Our next class is at ten o'clock in the morning. The results of our exams were good. The four of us got higher scores. "Thank God because we've got a higher score," Anna said while we were walking in the hallway. "Yeah, thank God for the high scores! I hope the four of us will always get higher scores in our exams, right? Even though it's not perfect, as long as it's higher, I think that's enough. Am I right?" Eliza replied."I agree with what you said, Eliza. We don't need to have a perfect score all the time, as long as it's higher and we passed the exams that's enough. And one more thi
KATE ROSEUntil now I just can't forget what happened to Lisa Roxas. She's one of the women who became victim of Dark Louiz. How many women should I know next after that incident? I don't want to hear a woman crying because of Dark Louiz anymore. I want him to stop from hurting them. It's very disgusting! My Auntie Rosa started to ask a question while we're eating our dinner, "Are you still single, Kate Rose?" Auntie Rosa asked me. My eyes got bigger as she asked me that question."Yeah, of course, yes. I'm still single, auntie. Why did you ask me that question?" I replied to my auntie and she smiled at me."I'm just asking if you're still single. I have no idea if you're in a relationship now. It's been years since you told me that you're single and maybe you're having a boyfriend now and you are hiding it with me. Are you hiding something, Kate Rose?" She asked. My forehead was furrowed when she said it to me. I don't know what's going on her mind and she's asking me that nonsense q
KATE ROSE"Are you free tomorrow evening?" Auntie Rosa asked me as we finished eating our dinner. I answered her immediately. "Yes, auntie. I'm free tomorrow. Tomorrow is Saturday, right?" I said. "Yeah, I know. Tomorrow is Saturday. You don't have a class and I don't have work, too. It's our free time tomorrow," she said."Why did you ask me, auntie?" I asked her."My friend, Mrs. Romero invited us to have a dinner," she said and my eyes got bigger as I heard her friend Mrs. Romero invited us to have a dinner. The first thing came to my mind is her son Dark Louiz who is my enemy."A dinner tomorrow?" I confirmed. She nodded immediately."Yes. She invited us to have a dinner with them tomorrow evening. We should be there tomorrow,'' she said. I nodded."Why do we need to have a dinner with them? There's no celebration or special gatherings. Why will she invite us again for a dinner tomorrow? Is it special, auntie?" I asked her while my forehead was furrowed. She smiled at me and she o
KATE ROSEDays had passed, but I could still hear a lot about him and the way he cheats with women. Chloe must be forgetting about what happened to her. It's a nightmare for her. I don't want to see her getting hurt and miserable because of him. It's not just my friend who was getting hurt by him that I wanted to see happy now and as well as the other women he had hurt before. He needs to pay for it. I remembered Lisa, who I met in the restroom. She's crying because of him. I hope she has moved on and happy now. One afternoon, I went alone to the library to have a research for my report next week while my three friends went to the mall. While I was busy searching for the book I needed for my report, I almost screamed in shock when I saw him. It's not allowed to create a noise inside the library. "What are you doing here?!" Dark Louiz surprised me. I didn't expect him to be here in the library."You're so shameless man! What are you doing here?!" I snarled. I'm holding two books. I wa
KATE ROSEMy friends found out what really happened to Dark Louiz and me in the library. I don't want to say that incident, but they'd already known it. I can't hide it anymore. They're curious. I took a very deep breath before answering them, "I'll explain, I was looking for a book I needed for my report next week when I saw him unexpectedly there. I asked him if he found the book I was looking for, but he didn't answer me well, so Dark Louiz and I fought there in the library," I told them, but I just changed what really happened in my story. I didn't tell them that it was him who came to me and he surprised me, so we fought again. If I would tell the truth, maybe they would know that we are having something now. I don't want them to think about that notion. They are still not surprised. They're aware that I would help my friend Chloe to have a revenge against Dark Louiz, but I can't say all those things. My friends might angry with me and they would think bad things about us. "Dark
