Xero's Point of View
I SLOWLY hung the necktie around my collar while looking at my reflection in the mirror. After what happened yesterday, Yuna's went home. She's still childish. My decision before was definitely right. Hindi nila ako mapipilit sa bagay na hindi ko gusto.
As long as i have the power to control everything in my life-i will. I endured so much in the past. And i think this is the right time to keep moving on-to move forward from the things which does not align with my personal growth. Xander deserves pain though i still care for him.
My twin brother, you have to endure it like what i did before.
From now on, i only focus on my business. Lumabas agad ako sa kwarto at tinungo ang kwarto ni Klay. I knocked the door twice until she opens the door. Mukhang nagulat siya nang makita niya ako, "S-Saan tayo pupunta?" Nauutal na tanong niya sa'kin. Dalawang araw nang iniiwasan ni Klay si Xander. I feel pity on him but this is life.
"I'll date you." I answered her. Her eyes widen, napaawang din ang bibig niya. I see, hindi siya makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. "A-Ano?" aniya at nakayukong lumabas sa kwarto niya.
She's wearing a purple dress, below the knee ito. Dumistanya ako sa kaniya para makita ko ang kabuuan ng hitsura't suot niya. I smiled.
"You're gorgeous." I said, naiilang naman niya akong nginitian, "T-Thank you.." aniya, bagay sa kaniya ang damit na binigay ko.
Purple color...it's Aya's favorite color. "Don't mention it, let's go?" aniko, tumango naman siya. We were about to walk when Xander appears infront of us, kumunot ang noo niya, alam kong nagtataka siya.
"Xero? Klay?" He uttered, mas lalong napayuko si Klay. I didn't answer him, hinawakan ko ang pulsuhan ni Klay.
"What does this mean?" Malamig na wika ni Xander kaya napahinto ako. "It's none of your business." Tugon ko, ngunit hinawakan niya ang kabilang kamay ni Klay at hinila si Klay papalapit sa kaniya, "Xero...what are you doing?" He coldly asked me, tahimik lang si Klay.
Nilingon ko si Xander at marahang hinila si Klay sa tabi ko ngunit hindi niya pa binitawan si Klay, "Klay," I only uttered, napaangat ang tingin ni Klay at tiningnan si Xander, "X-Xander...bitiwan mo'ko," aniya, "K-Klay? What the fuck are you doing?" Singhal ni Xander at napahilamos sa buong mukha niya.
"Itigil na natin ang pagpapanggap nating dalawa. A-Ayokong masaktan kita. M-May importante akong sasabihin sa'yo... tapos na ang kontrata nating dalawa, kontrata sa hangin, Xander." Madiin na bigkas sa pagkakasalita ni Klay.
You deserved it, brother. Just let her go.
"Iniiwasan mo ba ako?" Mahinaong banggit ni Xander kay Klay pero marahan kong kinaladkad si Klay pababa sa hagdanan.
Kung natalo man ako noon, sigurado akong magwawagi ako ngayon. Xander, i want to help you from suffering but now just feel the pain.

Xander's Point of View
"I have to talk to her." Bulong ko sa sarili ko at dahan-dahang naikuyom ang mga palad. Alam kong iniiwasan ako ni Klay.
I took a deep breath.
It's obvious. Xero likes Klay. Ilang beses kong sinasabi sa sarili ko na hindi ako magpapatalo kay Xero. But how? Nalilito ako. He's my brother. Ayoko siyang saktan pero masasaktan din ako. Fuck! What should i do?
I'm laying on my bed thinking of her, thinking of Klay. I missed her. Kanina pa akong naghihintay sa kaniya pero nasa loob pa siya ng kwarto niya. I remember what happened yesterday, hindi ko naman talaga nakita ang hinaharap niya.
