A Girl With An Extra Ordinary Gift ( A Simon Marcos Fanfiction Story)

Chapter 11

Simon stayed until I finished my shift. I said na pwede na siyang umuwi during my break nung kumakanta ako but he insisted to stay until I was done. Sobrang saya kanina and alam kong mamimiss ko yung ganito but I need to focus on my work sa company ni Simon at hindi ko pwedeng ipagsabay kase mawawalan ako ng oras sa isa. As much as big help ang extra income ko dito sa resto bar, hindi ko din naman pwedeng isaalang-alang yung health ko kase if ganito parati, wala na akong maayos na tulog and maganda ma din naman ang trabaho ko sa company ni Simon at mataas na din ang sahod ko so no need to complain na naman ako. Mamimiss ko lang talagang kumanta dito. Its already 2:30 in the morning and nandito na kame ni Simon ngayon nakatayo sa tapat ng bahay namin, he insisted na ihatid ako and sino ba naman ako para tumanggi sa free ride diba?

Do you want to come in muna? I asked him.
Hindi na. He said. My mom is waiting for me to go home. He added.
Okay. Sunday is my last day sa resto bar, you can come to watch me. I said to him.
I will go. He said.
I also invited Grace and Amanda and they said they will go also. I said and he nodded.
I really enjoyed the night. Thank you Eli. He said and smiled to me.
I was the one who should thank you for accompanying me and sorry for the trouble earlier. I said to him.
No need to say sorry, I am used to those kind of girls and I don't mind them. He said. I still really can't understand why some women make them self low.
I'll go inside na Si baka hinihintay na din ako ng kapatid ko. I said to him and he nodded.
Good night Eli and sweet dreams. He said and smiled at me.
Good night and sweet dreams too. Drive safely Si. I said to him.
Thank you and I will. He said and turn around para pumunta sa car niya.
Si! I called him and he instantly turn around. I walk closer to him and kissed him sa cheeks. Call or text me if you are already home. I said.

After saying those words, tumalikod na agad ako at pumasok sa bahay. Nakakahiya naman ang ginawa mo Eli. When I enter our house I saw my sister sa sofa nakaupo at nakayuko at madaming tissue ang nakakalat sa lamesa.

Elise. I said nung umupo ako sa tabi niya. She raised her head and tinignan ako na maga ang mga mata sa kakaiyak.
Ate Eli. She said na humihikbi pa.
Sshhhh. You don't need to say anything because I already know from the start that this things will happen. I sadly said to her.
What do you mean ate? She asked me.
From the very start that you introduced him to me, I already knew that he has something with someone else and nung nandito kayo ng mga kaibigan mo at kasama siya, I know na yung bestfriend mo yung someone else niya. I said to her.
Why didn't you tell me ate? Sana hindi ganito kasakit. Sana hindi na umabot na sobrang mahal kona siya. Bakit ate? Panunumbat na tanong niya saakin.
I did that for your own good Elise. I said to her.
Own good ate? You have the capability to know things and hindi mo man lang to sinabi saakin? She said. I know na sobrang nasasaktan siya because her boyfriend cheated on her with her bestfriend and alam ko yung simula pa nung una pero hindi ko sinabi.
Look Elise, people grow because of the pain and happiness that they had experience. If I would protect you from all the pain that you should encounter, how can you be able to be strong? How can you stand something more painful that would happen to you if I parati kitang proprotektahan sa mga sakit na dapat mong pagdaanan. Aminin man natin o hindi, hindi ako parating nandito para sayo Elise, hindi kita parating mapoprotektahan kaya kaylangan din kitang gawing matatag na tao. I said to her.
I understand you ate, Sorry. She said to me.
Wala yun Elise. I said to her.
I just can't understand Ate Eli, bakit niya ako pinagpalit? May kulang ba saakin? May nagawa ba akong mali ate? She asked me in her weak and shakey voice.
Wala yung problema sayo Elise, I have seen kung pano mo tratuhin si Justine and alam ko kung gaano mo siya kamahal. Hindi mo kasalanan kung hindi niya magawang makontento sa mga binibigay at kaya mong ibigay sa kaniya. Hindi mo kailangan ibaba ang tingin mo sa sarili mo because he left you, because that just proves na hindi si Justine ang para sayo because you gave him all pero hindi pa din siya nakontento. Always remember na don't settle for less Elise because if you do, that just means na ganon mo din tinitignan yung sarili mo. Make decisions also base on your worth as a human being and not just base on what makes you happy. Hindi kase porket masaya ka ay tama na yung decision mo lalo na kung alam mong may mas maganda pang options na mas magiging masaya ka bukod sa pinili mo. Mahaba kong paliwanag sa kaniya.
Of all the people na pwede kong lapitan para iyakan, mas pipiliin ko pa din na sayo ako iiyak ate, mas kilala at mas napapagaan mo yung nararamdaman ko. Thank you ate Eli. She said and sawakas ay ngumiti na din siya. I hugged her.
Kung yung ibang tao nga ginugusto kong tulungan, what more pa pang ikaw na kapatid ko. I said to her. Kaya tumayo kana jan at matulog kana. I said again and inalalayan siyang tumayo at dineretcho sa kwarto niya.
If you wanted to cry, then you go ahead and cry, if you wanted to shout to ease the pain then go ahead also. I will not stop you because I know how painful it is to be left by someone you love pero tandaan mo Elise na hindi pwedeng parating ganyan ka at hanggang diyan kana lang kase mas marami pang magagandang bagay ang nagaabang sayo. I said to her.
I know that ate. Thank you. She said and smiled at me.
Moving on is a long process so I need you to take things slowly. I said to her.
I know ate and I will as long as you are with me. She said.
I will always be here for you Elise. Sleep kana. I said to her.
Thank you ate Eli. She thanked me.
Goodnight bunsoy. I said and hinalikan ko siya sa noo at niyakap.
Goodnight ate Eli and thank you. She said and hugged me back.

Dumerecho na ako sa kwarto ko after and nagpalit ng pantulog and nahiga sa kama. I checked my phone and there is a message from Simon.

Simon

I'm already home Eli.

Eli? Still awake?

Seems like you are already asleep. I will sleep as well. Goodnight Eli.

Thank you for the wonderful night.

After reading his message I directly replied.

Sorry late reply Si. I was talking to my sister earlier. She is broken hearted.

I am about to sleep already. Goodnight Si.

I should be the one to thank you Si.

After replying to his messages, I put my phone down and hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog ako agad after dahil siguro sa  pagod. As much as I wanted to protect my sister at all cost but I also know that I need to let her feel the pain because she needs to learn things herself.

Sorry for the grammatical errors✌️
