KATH

I looked the other way and saw Daniel just standing there and thinking deeply. I approached him and hugged him but he didn't even move, "I'm really sorry, Daniel."

I can feel him crying now, "I'm such a stupid! Why did I let them be like that?! I didn't take good care of them! In my own house, yet?"

I let go of the hug, "This is also my fault. We didn't take care of them properly," I said and held his hands, "Don't worry, I know that everything will be fine. Why don't you sit down and calm down for a while," just as I never expected, he shook my hands and looked at me furiously.

"CALM DOWN ?! Are you hearing yourself? I will never calm down when your siblings are there!" I suddenly recoiled because I was afraid of him and his eyes full of anger.

"L-look, I'm-"

"My cousin Jess is in that stinky emergency room! You see that he's unconscious, don't you?! AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR SIBLINGS! It's their fault why Jess was trapped inside the burning kitchen! He shouldn't have saved Rafael! WHY? Why are they so mean that they almost killed my cousin?! They're such brats and they just burned down our kitchen?! YOUR F*CKING SIBLINGS ALMOST KILLED MY COUSIN BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF THEM AND DISCIPLINE THEM! I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM ANYMORE!"

After I heard that, I was hurt. He seemed to come to his senses but I slapped him hard. I saw that everyone were also surprised and even the parents of the triplets approached us.

"How dare you blame everything to me and to my siblings?! Why? They didn't even ask for Jess to save Raffy in there! In fact, I'm even happy and thankful because he saved my brother. I'm sorry because he was hurt because of that! I'm really sorry for the damage I caused," I said and wiped away my tears.

"K-Kath, babe. I didn't mean to say that. I'm sorry! That's not what I meant!"

“I love you so much, Daniel but I still have a family to protect, especially since my family loves me so much. You know my rules, if the guy doesn't like the family, then it's over."

I said that and I saw that my brothers and sisters looked at me and were surprised by what I did. I am about to turn but he quickly hugged me from the back.

"No. NO! I didn't hate them! Kath, I'm sorry -"

"SAVE IT! Don't touch me either!" I said and walked away from him, "I thought that you're different from all of them. I thought you were different to like and dislike my siblings. But maybe, I was wrong."

"No, please hear me out --"

"Don't ever come near me and my family."

"Kath! No, please--"

"I'm sorry but I don't want to. We're over," that is what I said and quickly dragged my siblings. I can see that Daniel still called out my name but the triplets' parents held him so he couldn't run.

Once we got home, I didn't hesitate and just locked myself in my room. This day is the worst day! It hurts thinking that he hates being with my siblings.

I feel when they blame my siblings, it’s still all my fault. He just said how irresponsible I am for not disciplining my siblings!

My siblings tried to talk to me, but I was not in the mood and I am so furious with them for what they were doing. I thought my feelings would just pass because I'm so used to it but I didn't think anything would really hurt more.

I really love him, but I can’t love someone who hates my family. I didn't realize it was six o'clock in the afternoon and I didn't even bother to open my phone since I know that Daniel will just keep on calling me.

Soon, I heard someone knock on the door, "Kath? Open up, it's me," it was mom so I got up to open up. Once I saw her, I couldn't help but cry and hugged her tightly, "I heard what happened. Is the kid okay?"

"I don't know. I don't know what to do now," I said, "I broke up with him, mom."

"What? But why?"

"Mom, he hates me! He blames me because of his cousins ​​and also my siblings! Well, IT'S THEIR FAULT why it burned but it really hurts! Mom, I want to leave!"

"But, I thought you wanted to stay here already. That's what you all want to be permanent, isn't it?"

"I thought so too, mom, but I guess I want to go. It hurts being here and I want to be away from Daniel for good."

RICK

It was a few days before the incident that Daniel's kitchen caught fire and I know that what happened to the two did not go well. Now it's been a few days since Kath hasn't showed up and Daniel still came in school but we can't get a hold on him.

I know that Daniel was just so angry and confused during those times because his cousin, Jess was hurt, but I know that what he said to Kath was also wrong.

Now, he is recounting again what happened to them at home until the hospital and I can clearly see that he is very sorry for what happened but there is nothing we can do because what should not have happened has already happened.

"You know, you're my best friend, don't you, Daniel? We've been together since we were kids and I've known you very well but of course she'll be really mad at you. That was really harsh, dude."

"Rick is right. She doesn't deserve that! Now, she doesn't show up at school but don't ever think it's your fault, Daniel. You're just both hurt right now," Jessiah agreed. My girlfriend and I sighed, "How is she and where are they? Where is she?"

"We don't know. But because, Daniel. They're still kids and they're going to change. So, basically it's not his fault and especially not the children's fault. There's nothing wrong with that, it was an accident. Let's just say that they were just playing then and they didn't mean what happened," Princess replied calmly.

We were shocked when Daniel suddenly stood up from his seat and even slightly hit the table. We are in the cafeteria now so other students probably looked at us as well.

"I KNOW THAT! Okay?! It's my fault! I didn't mean to shout at her and I regret every second from that moment I said that to her! I already told you, I'M SORRY! What else can I do with it?! She doesn't wants to talk to me anymore and she doesn't want to see me anymore! What the hell am I supposed to do?!" Daniel cries out in frustration.

"Bro --" I couldn't continue speaking when he suddenly left in front of us.

"Let's let him do what he wants. We know that the both of them are hurting. Just, give them time to adjust and forget what happened," Princess said and sighed.

When else will they get along? I really want to help but where is Kath now? I hope he shows up. I'm not used to seeing my best friend sad.

KATH

It's been two days since I broke up with him but until now things are still very fresh. On the fire in the kitchen until Daniel's cousin was still hospitalized.

I can do nothing now but blame everything on my brothers and sisters. Because of them they ruined my life, Daniel and I’s life, and other people’s lives.

"How could you do this to me?! I thought you were my siblings?!" I shouted at them while they were still bowing.

"I'm sorry, Kath."

"What the hell! SORRY?! JUST SORRY! I'VE BEEN FED UP WITH THAT EFFIN' SORRY! You made other people's live completely damaged! And now, you just say that you're sorry to me?! Do you think I can still forgive you?! NO!"

I know that they are surprised by my attitude because they have never seen me angry because of their pranks and bullshit to others, but this is different, "But, Kath --" Camille stated, but I preceded her.

"SAVE IT, Camille. Did you know? For the first time in my life I'm already in love with someone. And that is Daniel. He means so much to me and I don't know why I feel that way about him and I never feel it for anyone else."

I said and they just kept quiet and I still said, "But you know, nothing would be a good story without a climax. So, his climax was with five sweet bratty siblings trying to destroy their relationship. How could you?! Did you know that Daniel is the only man who defends and sometimes even fights when I'm being bullied because of you and he's the only one who can stop the gossips that spread about you? On how brat you guys are?"

They bowed down and my tears flowed even more, "YOU DON'T KNOW! Don't you? Why? You don't know it because what you're doing is always hurting him! You have a plan against him! You don't know him well! Because of you, I broke up with him! That's what can make you happy, isn't it? Now, what can I do? I lost something most special to me and that's because of you! Just mind your own damn businesses, please! You are just my siblings and you have no control over my life!" then I went up to my room.

RAFAEL

I turned to my four siblings who were obviously still saddened by what had happened, "So, what now? I told you that they really love each other. Can't you see that you are the ones hurts my sister?"

"There's nothing we can do, they broke up," said older brother Jeremy but it was obvious on his face that he felt guilty and saddened by what had happened to them.

"Yes. She is right, we always make a plan so she won't get hurt, but I guess we're wrong because we're really the bad ones," Sandra replied.

"How's that? The schedule is fix that we're leaving tomorrow. Another city, again," said Camille and struggled a little more.

"It's all your fault," I just said and went upstairs. I stopped across from Kath's room. It was good that the door was not locked and when I opened it I could clearly see that she was obviously looking at the photo of the two of them. 

"Kath?" I called her but she didn't turn around and I could still hear her sniffing, she was crying again.

"Please, leave first Raffy. I'm not in the mood right now," she treated me coldly, which is also the same with the others, aside mom.

"Kath, I'm sorry. We didn't mean to burn down and because of us, you two broke up. You know what? I actually liked Daniel for you because I know he's kind and he loves you. Too bad, the others didn't see that. Because of the fire, you are still separated."

She turned to me and smiled slightly, but I knew she was just trying, "Thanks, Raffy. But, the fire wasn't the reason why we broke up."

I was wondering what my sister said. Isn't that the reason? "Why? What happened? I didn't know much."

"Come here," she made me sit next to him and there he recounted what happened the other day when we were in the hospital and what they talked about.

That's why my sister Kath was crying. Not that I was fighting over Daniel, but I knew he didn't mean what he said that day. He was also just a human being, hurt and scared. To think that at the same time, he has a problem, too that only time he exploded unintentionally.

"What are you going to do now, Kath?"

"Try to run away from the pain."
