My Two Step-Brother [COMPLETED]

Chapter 34

Hanz' POV.

It's so hard! It's hard to be angry with the person you love. Katulad ngayon, hindi ko kakayanin na panghabangbuhay na magalit kay Sapphire.

I'm confused. I wonder if she still lied to me. Hindi ko na alam kung asan ang totoo at hindi. Five days...five days kaming hindi nag-usap. But, damn! Damn this fucking feelings! Kahit na konting panahon lang ang pinagsamahan namin ni Sapphire, but I fell in love with her. I'm fucking inlove with her.

"P're, chill lang!" Cedrick scolded me.

Nasa bar kami ngayon, nagpasama lang ako sa kanila, for somehow I have someone with me when I get drunk.

"Ano, babae ba 'yan?" natatawang tanong ni Clyde.

"Mukhang problema nga sa babae, p're. Ganyan na ganyan siya no'ng umalis si Sabrina, 'e" Cedrick said, As if I had not heard.

"P're, tell us, anong problema?"

Nagpakawala ako ng mabigat na hininga at nilagok ang alak na nasa baso. "I'm...I'm fucking inlove." i said out of nowhere. Tumingin ako sa kanila pero wala silang reacksyon.

"Alam na namin 'yan." ani Clyde.

Kumunot ang noo ko. "W-why do you know?"

"Bakit hindi? Matagal ka na kayang inlove kay, Sabrina!"

Napaiwas nalang ako ng tingin sa kanya. I thought he knew I was referring to Sapphire.

"With whom?" tanong ni Cedrick dahilan para mapatingin ako sa kanya.

Uminom muna ako ng alak. "I'm fucking inlove with the girl that I hate. Iwan ko ba, p're. Pero, hindi ko magawang magalit sa kanya ng matagal. And then, one day...I found out that, I'm already into her." I said and drank the wine in Clyde's glass.

"Naku! Mahirap 'yan. Your Inlove with someone, pa'no si Sabrina?" problemadong anas ni Clyde.

"I-i don't know..." mahina ko'ng sambit pero alam ko naman na marinig nila. Nasa VIP kami kaya hindi masyadong malakas ang tugtog ng music. "I..I think, im--"

"Your out of love with her, right?" asik ni Cedrick.

Dahan-dahan akong tumango. "Yeah, that's what I felt for now. Siguro dahil matagal ko siyang hindi nakasama, kaya nagkaganito. I'm in a mess with myself. Ayaw kong saktan si Sabrina, But, it would hurt her more if I just kept fooling her." sabi ko at nilagok ulit ang alak. I still can't feel the alcohol burning in my body.

"Y-your...o-out of love, w-with me?" Immediately the nervousness lingered in my chest. I slowly put the glass on the table and turned to Sabrina.

"S-sabrina..."

"B-bakit? Why did you lose your love for me, Hanz? M-may nagawa ba akong mali? T-tell me, may kulang ba ako sa'yo? P-pwede namang punan ko 'yon. Just tell me, For me to fill all that."

"Dance floor muna kami, p're." paalam ni Cedrick pero hindi ko na inintindi ang paglabas nila.

"Sab, i-im sorry. I have no intention of hurting you. Pero, iba na ang naramdaman ko para sayo. When you came, I thought I still loved you--pero, hindi na pala. Mahal kita, oo. Pero, b-bilang kaibigan nalang."

"Hanz..." parang batang sabi niya at tinakpan niya ang kanyang mukha gamit ang kanyang dalawang palad habang humagulhol. "B-bakit? Bakit ang dali mo namang bumigay! I love you, Hanz. S-so hopefully, not l-like this. Nasasaktan ako." she said between her sobbing.

I approached her and held her by the arm. "Sab, believe me. I loved you at first. Pero--hindi ko mapigilan na ma-out of love sa'yo."

Winaksi niya ang kamay ko at pinahiran niya ang kanyang pisnge. "D-dahil... dahil mahal mo na siya? Is that so? Hanz... bakit sa kanya pa! P-pwede naman na mahalin mo parin ako! M-minahal mo nga ako noong una 'diba?" tumango ako.

"So, pwede pa nating ibalik ang lahat," siya na ang humawak sa braso ko at tiningnan ako sa pagmamakaawang tingin. "I will do everything to restore your love for me. Just please...'wag mo ko'ng iwan."

I was hurt because of what Sabrina showed today. But, I can't fool her. Matagal na kaming nagkasama at minahal ko siya noon, kaya hindi ko kayang makita siyang masaktan.

"Hindi pwede Sab..." I shook my head. "I don't want to hurt and fool you. And, sorry but ... I-I can't really go back to the past we've done."

"Y-your, u-unbelievable! Kahit na anong gawin mo, n-niloko mo parin ako." she shook her head at me before leaving.

I want to follow her, but I can't. It is not possible because it only hurts her more. Maybe she still depends on me.

WHEN i get home, I saw Sapphire sitting on the bench. Matagal ko siyang pinagmasdan. And I saw that she seemed to have a big problem to bring. Tulala siya habang nakatingin lang sa kanyang dalawang paa.

Dahan-dahan akong lumapit sa kanya. When she noticed me she still frowned as he looked at me. Pero kalaunan ay ngumiti siya sa'kin.

"Sit here," aniya at iminuwestra pa niya ang bakanteng espasyo katabi niya.

Isn't she mad at me?

Even though I was confused I still sat next to her. We just sat quietly, but I also spoke immediately.

"I'm sorry," I said and looked her in the face. But what i read on her face was, she was confused.

"F-for what?" she asked.

"For everything. I have many sins against you, so I hope... I hope you will forgive me," I said while still looking her in the eye. She averted her eyes.

"I-its okay. Naintindihan kita," asik niya at muling bumalik sa kakatitig sa kawalan. Palitan ng buntong hininga lang ang nangyari saming dalawa.

Tumikhim ako, dahilan para mapalingon siya sa'kin. "I-i have something to tell you," my introduction.

"W-what is it?"

"I think daddy died because... because he has a purpose."

Shee looked at me, wondering. "W-what do you mean by that?"

I gasp. "I-i l-like you--i mean, I-i love you." nahihirapan ko'ng sabi. "So maybe daddy died so that, hindi tayo magiging magkapatid," i said. "I'm Inlove with you, Sapphire. Pero, hindi ko naman hiniling sa'yo na mahalin o magustuhan mo ako. I was so mean to you---"

"I'm sorry," she said and immediately ran into the house.

I just gasped. Hindi niya ako gusto. I know already the answer, pero sinabi ko parin sa kanya. What an idiot I am.

Sapphire's POV.

nagising ako ng may maramdamang tubig na tumama sa katawan ko. Dahan-dahan kong binuka ang dalawa ko'ng mata. At nakita ko si Krystel na parang masayang masaya sa nakita niya.

"It's been five days, my dear little twin sister!" aniya at nagpalakad-lakad sa harap ko. "Ang tagal mo namang nagising, kaya nang mainip ako, binuhusan kita ng tubig." natatawa niyang sabi.

"B-bakit ginagawa mo sa'kin 'to, Krystel." tanong ko sa kanya. Tumawa naman siya ng malakas. "Hindi ka parin talaga nagbago," napailing kong saad.

"For what? Pero handa akong magbago for my new life! Ang saya palang maging Krystal Bellavery, o tama bang sabihin na, Sapphire Soriano?" aniya. Agad naman akong nagulat sa kanyang sinabi. "Ang sarap paglaruan ng mga tao na nakapaligid sayo. Lalo na si Hanz? HAHAHA! See, five days! Five days palang kaming nagkasama, pero he admits that he loves me na! Ang saya 'diba?"

Napasinghap ako. H-hindi ko alam na hanggang ngayon gano'n parin siya. Ang gamitin ang pangalan ko para lang maging masaya siya. At pati si Hanz dinamay niya.
