Hennessy's
They didn't let me go with them dahil kailangan daw na may matirang isa dito sa aming tatlo. Di ko alam kung bat ako pa ang matitira eh ako ang kakambal ni Jack. Napasimangot nalang ako. I just really wanna see him.
Bumaba ako at hindi nawawalan ng tao. Tamara is still here too. "M-mara, go get some rest. Kuya morgan isn't going to be happy seeing you like that." Hinawakan ko siya sa balikat. Tumingin siya sa akin at niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit.
"I missed you. I'm really glad na hindi mo ako nakalimutan." She said.
"Sobrang daya ng kuya mo no?" She said and i smiled bitterly.
"Parang kailan lang he was asking me to marry him." Nanlaki ang mata ko. I didn't know na nag proposed si kuya sa kanya. "W-what? I didn't know that. Wala naman nasasabi si kuya sakin na nag proposed siya sa'yo."
She smiled at me pero malungkot na ngiti ang binigay niya. "Hindi naman iyon as in proposal talaga. He just randomly asked me noong nasa duyan kami sa beach nya sa batangas." Sabi niya. "And you said?" I asked.
"I just said where's the ring. If the ring's diamond doesn't satisfy me then i'm saying no." Napahagikhik pa siya. Napataas tuloy ang kilay ko sa sagot niya. "Seriously?"
"Of course that was a joke. Alam naman niyang kahit walang singsing, kahit di sa simabahan, kahit walang handa, kahit kaming dalawa lang ay papakasalan ko siya." She smiled at me and a tear escaped her eye pero pinunansan niya din agad iyon.
"Did you know that i asked him four times to marry me and he said no. Nakakahiya man pero pwersahan ko siya inabutan ng singsing. Iyon yung nasa necklace niya, sa akin galing iyon." She said. Pero walang iniabot na necklace sa amin. Too bad relo at wallet nalang ni kuya ang nasa kanya.
"Really? Then why you didn't took the chance to say yes noong tinanong ka niya?" I asked her. "I don't know if he's really serious that time eh. Alam kong hindi siya mag popropose ng ganitong ang sitwasyon."
"The truth is hindi naman ako ang number one ng kuya mo." She bitterly smiled at me. "What do you mean?"
"I'm not his priority nor his first option. Sobrang mahal kayo noon. I remember noong college kami. Mag dedate nalang kami biglaan pang ikacancel dahil napaaway si damon sa school at mas gusto niyang siya ang pumunta kesa si tito Henry."
"I remember noong naibangga ni champ iyong lamborghini ni tito henry. He was about to buy his dream watch pero napunta iyong perang inipon niya sa pag papagawa nung kotse ng daddy ninyo. And that's okay with him."
"I'm sorry, Tamara. I feel bad for—"
"No, don't feel bad because that is never a bad thing. Just seeing him loving and protecting you all, makes me fall in love even more. Nanghihinayang lang ako because i can feel that he will be a loving husband to me and a great father sa magiging anak namin."
Wala akong naisagot. Sobrang nasasaktan ako para sa kanilang dalawa.
"Ang daya mo Morgan, Pinangakuan mo ako ng walong anak." Medyo natawa kaming dalawa sa sinabi niya.
"Excuse me, lapitan ko lang sila papa." Tamara said. Niyakap ko siya at hinayaan na umalis.
I really wish that this is just all a nightmare and someone come save and wake me up from all of this.

Ang bilis ng mga pangyayari. Sobrang busy naming lahat because today will be the last day of kuya Morgan's funeral. I'm not getting any chance na madalas si Jack sa hospital. Kuya Champ said next week pa yata lalabas di Jack dahil kailangan niya pang maka recover. Too bad hindi niya manlang makakasama si kuya Morgan for the last time.
