Chapter 12

Chapter 12

"I've been trying to handle our goddamn situation alone Asha, and I trusted you! I'm not even asking a bit of your help and cooperation, I let you do what you want instead!"

"I-I'm sorry.."

"Now tell me what is this?!"

Asha couldn't answer and I couldn't move too. I never saw Kuya Ice this mad and I'm very scared.

"Ang daming nagsasabi sa akin na niloloko mo lang ako pero hindi ako naniwala sa kanila Asha. But this one is enough proof of what you've been doing to me! You've been cheating on me! And this video has been recorded goddamn months ago! Ilang buwan mo na akong niloloko kung ganon?!"

My eyes widened. He found out? And what video is he talking about?

"Ice please.."

"Please what?!"

Napapikit ako sa nakakatakot niyang boses. Kung hindi lang malakas ang sound system sa poolside, sigurado akong maririnig ito ng lahat.

My heart is beating loud and fast. Naalala ko ang video na kinuha ko noong nasa Canada pa. And my phone, where is my phone?

Tinignan ko ang lamesang pinuntahan ko kanina pero wala doon ang cellphone ko. I looked back at Kuya Ice and Asha. Could it be..

"And don't tell me Coleen made up this video, your sister has always been concerned about you. What did you do? Did you threaten her to keep this from me?"

Stone cold and horrified, my hands trembled in guilt when I realized what's this all about.

My cellphone doesn't have a password and I never deleted the video that I took months ago. He saw it in my gallery, he saw it and now they are fighting because of it.

"Just tell me the goddamn truth Asha.."

"Fine.. let me get this straight so we can finish this here tonight.."

"What?"

"Since you're so bent on protecting Coleen that you can even think that I threatened her to keep this cheating a secret."

Nagulat ako, Asha looks like she can beg earlier, but now that she heard my name she just suddenly turned cold.

"What?! Coleen is not even involved here--"

"Oh shut up Ice! We both know how big our problem is about her!"

"How many times should I tell you that you don't have to feel threatened about her because it's you that I love and I only treat her as a younger sister! Yes she is important to me, to our family, but that ends there because my family cannot tell me what to do! I could have fought for the both of us Asha, if you only had a little faith in me, I could have fought for us.."

My tears started falling. Gusto kong gumalaw, gusto kong magsalita para malaman nilang nandito ako pero hindi ko magawa.

This is too much for me to hear and it's Christmas.. I can't stand this happening between them.

"It's useless Ice, fighting is useless. Your love for me is nothing against the love and value everyone gives her in our families. In this world we are in, nothing is more important to them, than the precious Coleen Montgomery. And even when you keep on telling me it's me who you love the most, I can still see that Coleen is dear to you. And maybe that is the reason why I lost my faith in this relationship. Because I know I don't stand a chance at all."
