Marthae's Pov

"I can't stop the wedding because they are already married before Hirayle got back here in the Philippines."

H-How?

Paulit-ulit na sinasaksak ang aking puso sa narinig. Pero, isang kompirmas'yon ulit...

Isa pa..

"W-What do y-you mean?" I saw my brother and dad went to me.

My dad hugged me from my side and my brother also stood on my other side, but my gaze is still focused to my tito's direction.

Humarap ulit ito sa direks'yon namin at nakita kong tumigil na ang luha niya, pero pula ang mga mata nito senyales na kakaiyak niya lang.

You can also see from him how he is tired and how he haven't got any good sleep.

Nagtama ang aming tingin at binigyan niya ako ng malungkot na tingin.

"They are already married." Ulit niya pa.

"I-I thought that their marriage will be three days from now? So, w-what are you saying.." Naguguluhan na talaga ako.

The pain worsen and me staying here longer ain't helping.

"The event that will happen three days from now is only the announcement of their marriage."

Mas lalo akong nanghina sa narinig, kaya humigpit din ang yakap ni dad sa'kin.

"H-How? I m-mean, paano nangyari 'yun?" I haven't heard his answer so I asked another question.

Last one.. Last na talaga 'to..

"K-Kelan pa?"

And when I finally heard what he said, that's when my knees lose all its remaining strength.

I'll surely fell on the floor if only dad wasn't supporting me in my side.

"Since your birthday."

Nung kaarawan ko pa?

Kasal na pala siya nung time na 'yun pero bakit pinuntahan niya ako? Why did she told me that she like me when she's already married at that time?

Did she lied?

I mentally shook my head.

No she didn't. I felt it. But maybe she doesn't like me that much that she's willing to choose me over him.

"You can sleep here. There are still available of guest rooms upstairs. I'll go now, I'll still visit Deian." Then he left.

Patuloy ako sa mahinang pag-iyak at patuloy din akong tinatahan ng aking ama at kuya.

"Let's rest now, Marthae. Ihahatid kita sa bahay, I know you don't want to sleep here—" Umiling ako dito.

"No dad, I'm fine. I'll sleep here."

"But Hirayle—"

"I want to talk to him tomorrow.."

For the last time.

"Are you sure?" Paniniguro ni dad kaya tinanguan ko ito at kahit mahina pading naiiyak ay binigyan ko ito ng maliit na ngiti.

My dad is looking at me worriedly. He wiped my cheeks and kissed my forehead.

"Shh, everything will be fine.. Let go of everything, let your emotions out. No one will judge you." Mas lalo akong naiyak sa sinabi nito.

Bahagya itong lumayo sa'kin bago lumuhod, pero nasa likod niya ako.
