Who defines good and evil?
Who decides what morality is?
How far are you willing to fight for someone you love?
How much are you willing to sacrifice?
Dejection. That was the first thing Blaster felt after he found out the truth. He didn't even notice how fast he was driving as he headed to the Arcelles family house. He thought he'd never return to that place again. But there he was, at the place where Vinassy grew up.
He stood frozen beside Arcelles' family gate, as if waiting for a woman to welcome him or call him by his second name: Trejan.
Blaster approached the gate. Just as he reached for the doorbell again, someone showed up.
"Totoo nga ang balita, buhay at humihinga ka pa. Long time no see, Vincent," Blaster spoke indifferently.
A handsome man with smiling eyes stopped in front of him. His face lit up with a grin, "Matagal mamatay ang masamang damo, alam kong alam mo 'yan, Blaster."
Lihim siyang sinipat ni Blaster. Sa unang tingin, hindi halata na magkapatid sila ni Vinassy. But as he stared longer, he noticed the small features they shared.
"Mind if I come in?" Blaster asked.
"Pft! Unexpected guest, it is. Sige pasok ka, pero 'di ako sigurado kung makakalabas ka pa, ha?" Vince replied as he opened the gate.
Pinagmasdan ni Blaster ang mga dingding na puno ng artworks ni Vinassy, lalo na't ito ang unang beses niyang makapasok sa loob. Nang makaupo siya sa sofa, nanatiling nakatitig sa kanya si Vince.
"Blaster Trejan Pheorez, nandito ka ba para patayin ako?" he finally said as he took the seat across from him.
Hearing that, Blaster crossed his arms across his chest. His voice was full of sarcasm, "I haven't decided yet, but thanks for the idea."
"Uh huh?" anito, mayabang ang tono. "Hate to admit it, pero balita ko childhood sweethearts kayo ng kapatid ko."
"Mismo," Blaster replied confidently.
Seeing that, Vince chuckled as he pushed his tongue into his left cheek, "Yabang ampucha."
Vince spoke again, "Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ka nagustuhan ng kapatid ko. Sige, gwapo ka. Pero nung una kitang makita, alam kong galing ka sa altang pamilya. Spoiled, mayabang, clueless sa hirap ng buhay."
Blaster didn't deny it. "I was. You can't even imagine. Pero binago ako ng kapatid mo. She showed me a world I never knew existed."
"Alam mo, masyado akong protective sa kanya, lalo na nang malaman kong magkadugo kayo ni Axiel. Pero kahit anong layo ang itulak ko, mas lalo lang siyang lumalapit pabalik sa'yo."
Lumalalim ang usapan nila. Ramdam ni Vince ang bigat ng nararamdaman niya, pero tinatago niya ito sa likod ng tawa at ngiti.
"What do you want from me? Kanina ka pa nakatingin sa gwapo kong mukha, baka matunaw ako niyan," Vince streched his arms, yawning.
