Owning What's Mine (COMPLETED)

Special Chapter

Kedricson Villareal's Point Of View

"She's too pretty," komento ni Shawn habang nakatingin kay Clara na nagsasalita sa harapan ng stage.

"Don't even think about it," I threatened him.

"Chill, dude! I won't make a move on her!" Shawn said, raising both hands in defense.

"Don't be mad at me, dude!" Eros started, and I turned my gaze towards him.

"Stop caring about Clara. You know she likes you, but if you don't feel the same way, you should stop caring so much. Let her move on. Clara's not a little kid anymore, you know that," Eros advised.

"Who said I don't like her?" I replied, taking a sip from my water bottle.

"You do?!" Shawn exclaimed.

"You like her?" Shawn added.

Parehas silang naghihintay sa sagot ko.

Tinakpan ko na ang mineral bottle ko at inilagay iyon sa bag.

"Hey!" sabay na niyugyog ako ng dalawa kaya natawa naman ako.

"I don't know!" I answered and looked at Clara. "She confuses me."

"Ugh, ang labo mo talaga, dude!" Shawn complained.

I ignored them and just looked at Clara practicing on stage. When she saw me, she waved and smiled.

We grew up together. She's the first girl in my life, aside from my mom. She's my first friend, the first girl who saw me cry, the first girl who witnessed my weaknesses, and the first girl who accepted me, even with my flaws.

I'm so confused about her. I don't want to hurt her, which is why I want her to remain... as my little sister.

Being together since we were kids, she started developing feelings for me. She thought I was the man for her, but from my perspective, I'm not the right guy for her.

I'm not good enough for her.

I am not enough for her.

"You're really interested in me, aren't you?"

I laughed at Lucas' joke. He's a psychiatrist and has been Clara's psychiatrist for a long time.

"I'm here to seek help, for guidance... Should I proceed with what I've decided and planned to do?" I asked him.

He smiled and clasped his fingers while resting them on his thigh. "What's the plan?" he also asked.

"Should I ask for another chance to love her? Do I really love her? I loved her sister first, but I'm not sure if it was truly love because if it is, it would last longer," I answered, feeling confused.

"I see, you're struggling to figure out your true feelings," he said, nodding.

"Okay! Let's talk about your first love!" He flicked his fingers. "Who's your first love?"

"My first girlfriend... Clara's sister," I replied, feeling a bit hesitant.

"I'm all ears!" Lucas said eagerly.

I let out a sigh. "I haven't had many girlfriends because I'm looking for something serious. I want a lasting relationship, not just some casual fling."

"Okay... So, tell me, what's your definition of love?" he asked, grinning.

Noong una ay nag-aalangan akong sumagot pero sumagot pa rin ako.
