Balancing The Trials Of Hearts

"Aes, wait lang!" I heard Trevor shouted pa pero hindi ko siya nilingon. I don't want to look at him. I am disgusted, totally. Just by thinking about it, I can't take it.

"Leave her alone, Trevor," I heard Kuya said pa. Mommy was holding my hand habang nagwawalk kami palayo sa kanila. I can't stop my tears from falling. My heart was so confused and hurt because of the truth that I found out.

"Aes!" Cash shouted naman when she blocked my way. "Gano'n na naman ba? Aalis ka na naman agad-agad?" she asked me. "Hindi mo na naman ba siya papakinggan? Huh?"

"Get out of my way, Cashcade," I said naman and slightly pushed her para I can walk through. "What?!" I shouted again when she blocked my way.

"Kung ano na namang sinabi mo kay Trevor hindi mo man lang siya pinagbigyan na mag-explain," she said and clenched her jaws. "Aes, nagawa niya 'yon kasi mahal na mahal ka niya," she reasoned out pa kaya mapait akong natawa. "Mali 'yung ginawa niya, Aes pero grabe na naman kasi lumalabas sa bibig mo. Hear him out, gusto niya magpaliwanag."

"What's wrong sa sinasabi ko?!" I asked her.

"Let me ask you, Aes," she said while staring intently in my eyes. "Mahal mo si Trevor di'ba? Ngayon, kaya ka nasasaktan kasi mahal mo siya, di'ba?"

"H-hes's disgusting!" I shouted kaya napairap si Cash. "It's true naman na he's disgusting! They're the reason why Daddy always hits my Mom! They're the reason why my Mom is suffering!"

"If nasasaktan ang mommy mo nang dahil sa ginagawa ng Mama ni Trevor, wala siyang kasalanan do'n," she said pa and shook her head. "Ang kasalanan lang dito ni Trevor ay 'yung mapamahal na siya sa'yo, Aes!"

"So, it's my fault. Is that what you're trying to imply?" I asked her. "Nakakadisgust siya! He knows na magkapatid kami then he still continued?! Daddy hurts us always because of his Mom!"

"Hindi lang naman ikaw 'yung nasasaktan, Aes. Hindi mo alam kung gaano kahirap ang pinagdadaanan ni Trevor sa Papa niya! Araw araw siyang pinagtatabuyan ni Tito, kaya 'wag mo naman sabihin na parang ikaw lang 'yung nahirapan, Aes."

"Shut up," I said naman. "Of course, you will side with him. He's your bestfriend, kaya kahit he's wrong sa kaniya ka kakampi!"

"Oo!" Cash shouted. "Bestfriend ko siya at kakampihan ko siya dahil kung hindi ako kakampi sa kaniya, sino gagawa no'n? Tinalikuran mo na siya, sino pang maasahan niya? I am giving my friend the benefit of the doubt na hindi mo mabigay, kung sana pakinggan mo muna 'yung sasabihin niya e'di sa--"

"Get out of my way, Cashcade," I interrupted her pa but hindi siya umalis sa harap ko. "Get away!" I said pa and pushed her kaya she fell on the ground. Kuya Cyon went to help her pero tinapik niya ang hand ni Kuya Cyon and she went to me again.

"What do you want?!" I asked her. "Get away. Magsama kayo ng mga bestfriend mo na social climbers! It's so obvious kung bakit tinuloy ni Trevor 'yung relationship namin."
