"Pinsan" - means cousin

~❀~

Draco was walking cheerfully on his way to the theatre to meet with Y/n. He couldn't believe that Y/n was slowly warming up to her and that she was giving him a chance to be heard as well. It felt like a great achievement for Draco, a great achievement that he could never forget.

"Oh, you're here," Marc said upon encountering Draco in the same hallway they were walking in. "She's out today. Someone called her and I think it's about her cousin."

"Cousin? She has a cousin?" Draco asked. "I thought her aunt has no child and is the only sibling that her father has."

"Actually, the cousin was the daughter of her father's and aunt's cousin. I have heard that their aunt was working on this cousin's papers for migration." He told.

"Migration papers? Is she not from here?"

"Y/n's cousin lives in the Philippines, so right now I think Y/n is on her way to pick her up at the airport." He told. "She comes to visit every year and stays here for a month. She's actually loud and cheery, unlike Y/n, and she's quite a beauty too."

"You like the cousin, don't you?" Draco smirked.

"Yes- I mean, no!" Marc blurted.

"Seems like it." He mumbled.

"I beg your pardon?"

"So when will Y/n be here?"

"Maybe, later. You can wait if you want." Marc uttered. "Oh, no wait, they're already here." Marc saw the two young ladies, taking this hallway too whilst chuckling about their conversation.

Draco turned around and looked at them.

The cousin looks a bit like Y/n but her skin was lighter, her hair was dyed in brown colour, and dressed up in a casual bohemian style. Marc was right, her cousin is the exact opposite of Y/n, who dresses up elegantly and simple like perhaps right now. She's wearing a white turtle neck fitted top and a black A-line skirt with also a pair of black doll shoes.

"Hi, Marc." Y/n's cousin waved at Marc. "And who's this?" She looked at Draco.

"Fatima, this is Draco. He's just moved here a few months ago. And Draco, this is Fatima, Y/n's cousin." Marc introduced.

"It's pleasure to meet you." Fatima shook Draco's hand to his surprise, and as Marc said, she was a cheery person. "I have heard about you."

"You have?" Draco's eyes switched to Y/n, who is biting her inner cheek. "And what have you heard about me?" Draco turned his eyes back to Fatima and is eager to know what have Y/n told her about him.

"I heard from our tita that you write books, and told me that you are going to make a book based on Y/n." She replied. "And—"

"Pat, I think it's best that we should grab my things before we go." Y/n cut her off. "Tita and Inay must be waiting." She then turned her head to the two young men. "We should leave the both of you. Adieu." She grabbed Fatima's hand and went to the locker room, without turning her head back to the two young men.

"I thought she's warming up to you?" Marc asked after the young ladies have left. "And yet I think she's still talking ill about you."

"Shut up, Marc."

It was a cloudy day and Y/n was driving her way back to their Manoir along with her dearest cousin, Fatima. Their hair danced with the wind as it shone even though there was no sunlight.

"So he must be the man who irritates you." Fatima chuckled. "He's quite handsome, is he not?"

"Handsome or not, siya pa rin yung taong kinaiinisan ko. Though, he's a bit nice when we're at the beach the other day." Y/n replied, her eyes were focused on the road, for she was driving. (Translation: "He's still the person I hate.)

"May crush ka ba sa kaniya?" Fatima's lips widened and her eyes too. (Translation: "Do you have a crush on him?")

"Eww, no." She scoffed. "I don't date, and if I do date, I still wouldn't choose him. I would choose someone proper for me, someone who's loyal and someone I found comfort with."

"Paano kung siya yung tao na yun?" (Translation: "What if he's that person?")

"As I said, I don't date. Kahit anong gawin ninyo, ayoko talaga." (Translation: "Whatever you all do, I really do not want to.")

"But you said that you wanted to marry back when we're still a child. You would even pretend that your doll was you and the male doll is your prince, getting married." Fatima stated.

"That was a decision when I was little and I wasn't in my right thinking yet." She told. "Speaking of marriage, where is your girlfriend? Or should I say your fiancé? I thought you were bringing her here to get married and yet you're here, alone."

Fatima leaned back against the car seat, crossing her arms and looking down to her lap, as a heavy breath escaped her lips.

"What? May masamang nangyari ba?" Y/n asked. (Translation: "Did something bad happen?")

Fatima still didn't speak and just gazed at the view on her right side.

"You can tell me about it?" Worry was woven in Y/n's voice. "Kung ayos lang sayo." (Translation: "If it's alright to you?")

Fatima sighed and looked at her cousin as she spoke, "You need not worry, I'll tell you. You deserve to know and malalaman mo lang rin naman." (Translation: "You'll just know too")

Y/n nodded, her eyes were still looking at the ride but her ears were always ready to listen when it comes to her dearest cousin.

"I found her cheating on me..." Fatima sighed.

"What?!?!" Y/n was surprised that it made her press the brake of the car in the middle of the road. Lucky them that there are no cars around since they are inside the village of the large estates. "She cheated on you? You both just got engaged two months ago and she was out there cheating on you? When did this happen?"

"Why don't you continue driving for a moment? We might get into a car crash." Fatima exclaimed.

Y/n pushed the accelerator pedal and started to drive. She truly couldn't believe that Fatima's girlfriend cheated on her when Fatima was always there on her ups and downs and gives her everything because she loves her.

"When did you find out?" Y/n asked.

"Last two weeks. I found her with another girl at a coffee shop, and their lips were attached to one another. I just- I just couldn't believe she did that."

"She doesn't deserve you, Pat," Y/n told. "If she happens to want you back, don't ever take her back kahit na mahal mo pa siya. Pakawalan mo na siya kahit na nasasaktan ka na. Take my advice and I assure you, you'll move on even if it takes a long time. (Translation: "Even if you still love her. Let her go even though it hurts you.")
