Bewitching the Tempter

Epilogue

Growing up in a family where preserving name and reputation is the priority, I've always felt like a misfit.

Isa lang ang taong nagparamdam sa akin na belong ako but when he died, I was left alone once again.

I've always hated the fact that I have different interests than them. Sinubukan ko rin namang gawin ang mga ginagawa nila but I just can't see myself doing the same thing over and over again. It felt like a burden. And because of my stubbornness, I was deemed as the hard-headed troublemaker, hence, making me deprived of my family's affection. My parents hated me for my choices and because of my twisted and toxic decisions, I was not even recognized as a part of our family.

Si AJ lang ang magaling sa paningin nila. Si AJ lang ang kinikilala nilang anak nila.

Sabagay, sino ba naman ako? Ako lang naman ang pasaway nilang anak.

"Yow, bro. Saw your brother yesterday, mukhang binabantayan na naman ang crush niya."

Kumunot ang noo ko. They already know kung sino ang crush ni AJ? People are saying that he's loyal to his crush for three years already but I still don't fucking now who's that girl.

"Who?" I asked and smirked as I thought of an idea.

This is what I've been doing for years. I know it's stupid but I just like seeing my brother's face looking annoyed, 'coz why not? Lahat naman na nasa kanya na e, so why not take little things from him? Such as his friends? And now...his crush.

This is gonna be fun.

"Hindi rin naman ako sure, pansin ko lang na titig na titig siya doon sa magandang babae." Cali answered.

I smirked, so she's pretty, huh? This is really gonna be fun.

"Name?" I asked again.

"Klio yata, popular 'yon e. Search mo."

I raised a brow. Why search when I can just go and see her in person? Hmm.

"Oy, saan ka pupunta?" Cali asked when I stood.

Ngumisi ako. "UP."

Nanlaki naman agad ang mga mata ng mga gago.

"Makikipagkita kay Katia? Sa ex mo?"

Huh? I scoffed. Bakit naman ako makikipagkita doon? E isa lang naman 'yon sa mga inagaw ko sa kapatid ko. AJ used to have a crush on her in highschool and when I learned about that, I did what I should.

I stole her from him. Naagaw ko naman. Maybe I'm more interesting than my brother in that area after all.

"It's a secret." I smirked before turning my back.

Because of traffic, it took me almost a two-hour drive from my school to UP. Nakakainis 'yon but because of the plan I had in mind, I endured it.

I've already known AJ well kung kaya't alam ko na rin kung saan siya matatagpuan. That's why when I got there, agad ko rin siyang nakita.

I smirked when I noticed where he's looking and my eyes immediately drifted to that woman.

Morena, long black straight hair, a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes, reddish lips, curvy eyelashes, small and pointy nose, seductive smile and gaze.

Damn. Bro got some taste. And fuck, everything about her looks so tempting.

"Hey! You're here! Long time no see!"

Nang lumingon ay nakita ko si Katia. I gave her a smile and she went closer to hug me. We've broken up a long time ago already but we're both friends. We're pretty chill.
