I'm in love with my BROTHER

I'm Dhale Ross Radelpar, a fresh graduate in College. I am finding a work today, then I saw someone that needed to be forgotten. The man who broke my heart into dust.

We were Pre-school when we first met each other. We were entering the same school, I was nervous and shy at that time, but one boy came to me.

"Do you have any friends yet?" He asked. But for the first time my heart skipped a beat. Ang bata ko pa! Ang landi ko na! I thought.

"I'm Ryam Keith Valenrique!" He introduced.

It was the first time that someone approached me. Usually, if I want to make friends, I was the one who approaches the person.

Days have passed... Closeness grew in our friendship... Lalo na nung nalaman kong nauna lang ako ng dalawang araw na ipinanganak sa kanya.

He was the one who taught me how to write number eight. I don't know but I can't write number eight back then. So what happened was everytime I needed to write number eight, he was the one writing it.

Everytime that I was bullied, he was the one who saves me. Everytime I cried, he comforted me. He was been my savior since then. I'm happy of that thought.

Time flies fast if you're enjoying, ika nga nila. But me, I wasn't just enjoyed, I was overjoyed!!

We reached our Grade School journey, the time that we parted ways but what they call 'fate' made us meet again. I won't say it was fate because I was assigned to the other section, different from him, away from him, but then I decided to transfer to his section not because he was there but because it just happened that my best friend was on the same section as him.

He started to ignore me and I started to ignore him too. I didn't thought for our friendship to deepen, but it deepened when we reached Grade Three. That was time that our most beloved younger brother appeared. Lee Andy Dahiljo (Dahiljo is readed as Da-Hil-Yu)

We treated each other as siblings. It just happened that my birthday is the sixth day of the eleven month (November 6), Ryam'on the eighth day and Lee's on the tenth day.

I was their big sister, because I was born first, and coincidentally, I wanted to have a younger brother but unfortunately my parents won't. I was the youngest in our family and I felt alone because my sister before me is a college student already.

Ryam and Lee are the only child of their families, and also about our birthdates. Ryam wanted to have a big sister and a younger brother, he told me that last school year. And Lee wanted an older siblings, he wanted to be the baby. That's why we're doing our obligations for each other.

It also happened that I'm close to their parents and they treated me also as their Baby Girl.

The conflict of Ryam and me rosed. The next school year was kind of a bad for me. We are seated beside each other and that was the time that we went closer to each other but the time came that he hated me, he betrayed me. I don't know what gotten to him but he just suddenly done things which I hate the most.

So we didn't cared for each other like before but he lowered his pride down. He cant take it not to talk to me, it was also awkward that we were seated beside each other but we're not even taking glimpse of each other.

Our friendship came back to normal, the way it was until we reached Grade Six. It was the time that Ryam got sick. He suffered too much pain. He had to undergo a therapy because he has water inside his body, it was necessary to remove it but the doctors said it will be impossible for him to do it because his body is too young to endure it.

It was National Achievement Test when he came to school, the time I saw him broke my heart. He was so skinny, his healthy and strong body was now bones and skin.
