"Amelie Villaflor is mine. And I will do everything to get her." Imir said to his friend Ram.
They are inside his bar with his friends in the VIP lounge.
"Pare, tigilan mo na si Amelie. Mukhang may boyfriend na yung tao. Respeto naman diyan." Ani Rozen, isa sa mga kasosyo niya dito sa bar.
"She knows that she's mine. I am going to put a stop with her craziness over this boy!"
"You're obsessed, bro! It's not healthy anymore. Ang daming naghahabol sayo."
"I didn't ask to be chased, bro. Wala akong pakialam sa iba. Siya lang talaga ang gusto ko." He said seriously. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit paulit-ulit nila itong kailangan pag-usapan. Wala naman patid niyang sinabi na ito lang ang nag-iisang babae sa buhay niya.
Walang maniniwala, pero ang totoo, si Amelie pa lang ang nakasama niya sa mga pribadong karanasan niya. Sa kanya lang din niya gustong maranasan ang lahat ng kaligayahan na hatid ng pakikipag-isa. At lalong hindi siya makakapayag na hindi siya ang pipiliin ni Amalie na makasama habang buhay.
"Obsessed ka na talaga, bro! Ingat lang at baka lalong lumayo sayo!" Anang isang kaibigan niya na si Vander.
"We are family. Where else will she go?" He grinned.
"Let's drink to that!" Sabay sabay silang nag-kampay.
It had been an amazing night in the bar where Imir and his friends are had it not been seeing Amelie dancing seductively in the middle of the dance floor where she is being oggled by all the predators looking for the ultimate prey.
Nagmamadaling tinungo niya ito at hinila paalis para dalhin sa bahay niya na katapat lang din naman ng bahay nito. His dad and Amarah bought a new house near her work. Para naman naaalagaan pa din daw nito ang mga half-brothers niya.
"Imir, wait! Where are you taking me?!" Pilit na pagpupumiglas nito.
"I'm taking you where you should be!"
"No!!! Please stop this nonsense at once!" Ganting sigaw nito. "You can't do this to me. Let me go."
"And then what!? Babalik ka duon para mabastos ng lahat sa laswa ng sayaw mo!" He is equally if not more angry with her.
"Yun ba ang gusto mo?! Ang pagpiyestahan ng lahat ng lalaki yang katawan mo."
Isang nakakabibinging sampal ang lumapat sa pisngi niya.
"I hate you to the core, Imir!" Nagmamadali itong nagpunta sa pinto at nagtangkang lumabas pero mahigpit na niya itong niyakap sa kabila ng pagpupumiglas.
"I'm sorry, princess." He was just hugging her tight until she stopped fighting it. He held her face and wiped her tears."I'm sorry. I just lost it. I couldn't take it when you are with other people, much more see you dancing seductively. I felt jealousy and rage."
"Tama na, Imir. Alam mong hindi tayo pwede. Matagal ng natapos ang anumang namagitan satin." She looked coldly at him.
"Pilit mong tinatapos, kahit hindi naman ako pumapayag. At bakit hindi tayo pwede? Dahil kasal ang ate mo sa Dad ko? So what? Hindi naman tayo magkadugo?"
"Because this is all lust to you! It isn't worthy to fight if there's no love between us! Like your dad and my sister! They succeeded because they truly love each other." She shouted and she really looked pissed and out of patience.
"You never believed that I loved you?! Even though I kept telling you. After all these years of chasing you?" He couldn't help the searing pain in his heart.
They just stood there, immobile in front of each other. He couldn't fathom what she really feels. She has turned emotionless. He doesn't know know how she's doing it. Maybe she really doesn't have any feelings for him.
Pero ano ang gagawin niya kung yung puso niya ayaw tumigil sa pagtibok para dito. Kahit sobrang sakit, alam niyang hindi siya titigil na mahalin ito. Fall down today and get up again tomorrow.
Painstakingly, he asked her to leave and take care and went upstairs without looking back. Ayaw niyang makita pa nito ang mga luha na pumapatak sa pisngi niya. Simula ng mahalin niya ito, nagkaroon ng sariling buhay ang mga luha niya at nagkukusa na lang silang pumatak kung kelan nila gusto.
He couldn't believe loving is this much painful. He only learned love how his parents loved each other. And even now with his dad and his best friend Amarah.
Then the thought came to him... because their love has always been reciprocated.
