Once Upon He Was Mine (Good Girls Series #4)

Chapter 64: His Fight

Love can be as foolish as how it is described by those books we read.

Funny how it can make a person change the thing that one cannot expect to be happened.

Like me...

No one anticipated this change that it has brought me. From the immature, scaredy-cat and foolish Matthew, I've became a stronger person I could be.

Dalawang linggo, nakatulong naman ang mga pinaggagawa ko sa kwarto niya at hindi na siya sobrang nahihirapang umalala.

Kahapon, na-discharge na siya sa wakas sa hospital dahil bumabalik na sa ayos ang utak niya. Naka-schedule na lamang ang pagpunta niya sa ospital para sa checkups, counseling at therapy niya para makaalala ulit.

"At that moment, I realized that love is something I should get rid of because of how foolish it will be afterwards."

I was seated with the crowds, watching Ate Xyle and Eycee in an interview with the famous host slash artist in the Philippines.

And my sister's answer about her perception in love almost shook me.

She never stopped loving Kuya Calvin after few years.

Right after the interview, sinalubong ko siya sa backstage to congratulate her.

She became a famous model with the help of Eycee's talents and skills.

"Ang daya mo, umuwi pa naman ako sa Pinas. Akala ko ipapa-shout out mo ako tapos ipapalabas sa TV," I joked while we're headed to my car.

"Aba'y dapat lang na umuwi ka! Napagalitan kaya ako ni Mama dahil sa pag-alis natin noong nakaraan. She even accused me that I abducted you!" Natawa na lang ako.

Kagabi, kararating ko pa lang sa bansa, nasermonan agad ako ni Mama. Muntik pa akong hampasin ng pamaypay na hawak sa airport, mabuti na lang at sinaway siya ni Papa.

"Ate, bakit ang bitter mo sa interview kanina?" I asked, opening the door of the car for her. Kita ko ang pag-irap niya habang sumasakay ako sa kabilang side ng kotse.

"Bitter ba? Hindi naman, sinabayan ko lang mood ni gaga kanina," she answered, pertaining to Eycee. I started driving once I run the engine.

"Aren't you worried? You spoke in front of the national TV, Kuya Calvin might watch it." Nanahimik naman siya kaya sinulyapan ko siya sa rearview mirror.

"Eh ano kung marinig niya? Hindi lang naman siya ang lalaki sa buhay ko, ah?" she answered after a minute of silence.

"Galit ka pa rin ba sa kaniya?" I asked.

"Oo naman, hindi mawawala 'yon. Kung ang Diyos nagpapatawad, sa kaniya siya mag-sorry," she answered.

"Marra told me that she saw Kuya Calvin two weeks ago." Yeah, Marra told me that when she went to visit Shane. I looked at my sister over the mirror once again, she was stopped again.

"What do you want me to do, Matthew?" she asked. The traffic light turned into red so I stopped the car gently on the road. I gave Ate my bottle of water which she accepted.

"I just want you to be happy, regardless of what people did to you," I answered.

Bigla naman siyang ngumisi, heto na naman kami. Aasarin niya na naman ako.

"Ikaw, ha? Kunwari pa 'tong walang pakialam sa maganda niyang ate!" She shook her head.

That's why I hated showing concern to her, she likes teasing me that puts me into an awkward situation. But I couldn't care less about the embarrassment at the end of the day; she's too careless that really bothers me. Hindi lang ako, maging mga magulang namin nag-aalala sa kanya.
