Landon's PoV

"Let's go" sambit lang ni Orion, assisting me to the car. May schedule ako sa ospital ngayon and I thought he won't fetch me here since what has happened but he did. Yun nga lang nagtext lang siya saken at 6 in the morning na lumabas dito sa bahay ni Veronica

"Orion?"

"May masakit ba?"

"Sayo? May masakit ba?" Pagbalik ko ng tanong sa kanya bago pa niya isarado yung passenger door ng kotse

"Let's not talk about it. She doesn't even care anyways" sambit niya closing the car door but before he was able to walk to the driver seat someone held his arms. It was Veronica.

"Orion..."

"I won't bother. Don't worry. I'll start to care less about you."

"Orion teka lang..."

"Kailangan na naming umalis." Sambit niya shoving Veronica off his arms before driving us to the hospital

Veronica's PoV

Napaupo na lang ako sa labas ng bahay covering my face... ginusto ko to di ba? Ako may gusto neto pero bakit... bakit ako nasaktan? Bakit... ang sakit sa dibdib when he didn't even bother to turn his back on me... he didn't even call my name... even my nickname from him was not spoken...

I didn't want him to worry about me like he does for Landon pero... pero bat ako nasaktan when I saw his eyes full of anger and pain...

"Ate? Ate bakit? Umalis na si kuya Landon?" Tanong sakin ng kapatid ko when he saw me sitting on the ground

"O-oo..."

"Ate... mahal mo na sila no?"

"H-ha?"

"Ate bata ako pero kita ko yung mga tingin mo kina kuya Landon... lalong lalo na kay kuya Orion, ate."

"Hindi yun pwede..."

"Bakit?"

"H-huh?"

"Kasi mag-asawa na sila? Kasi... bisexual sila?"

"Peng..."

"Ate... oo dose anyos lang ako, naghahanap pa ko ng guidance sayo o kina kuya... pero di naman ako bulag ate?" Sambit niya habang inaalalayan ako tumayo at pumasok sa bahay

"Komplikado..."

"Ano naman ngayon?"

"Peng... di mo naiintindihan..."

"Ate, kung may hihilingin man ako ngayon, yun eh maging masaya ka ate... you've sacrificed a lot for me... for us... ano ba naman yung isipin mo naman yung magpapasaya sayo ate?"

"Pengpeng..." sambit ko sa kapatid ko before breaking down. I felt him hug me while I shed tears in what I did to the two of them. 

Orion's PoV

"Orion..."

"Wanna stand up?" Sambit ko sa kanya

"No... are you still mad?"

"At you? No"

"You know I meant her. Veronica"

"I... I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. Hurt."

"Orion..."

"She... she just... she wanted us out of her life, does she? She... she doesn't even think twice pushing us... me away. Let's just give it" sambit ko kay Landon

"Orion... she told me. She just doesn't want to add burden to us... to you. You're taking care of your almost crippled husband. Then she's healing from her injuries. Maybe she, she doesn't want you to carry all that—"

"How dare she decide for that?! I don't care! Even if I have to pull all nighters just to make sure you're okay! She's okay! Hindi ako nagrereklamo! I am not tired! I will never be tired taking care of the people I care about! Bakit ba ang hilig niyong magdesisyon para saken ha?! Magrereklamo ako pag pagod na ko! Wag niyo kong pangunahan!"

"Orion..."

"I'll just get some air..." sambit ko wiping my own tears away. I never cried for anyone except for the ones that were important to me. I didn't even notice that she was so important to me. Pero ano? Itutulak niya ako palayo just to "lessen the burden"? Tangina. If I didn't want to burden myself I wouldn't even have tried to save her from the very beginning. Hindi ko siya papakialaman sa buhay niya.

"Nobody fcking understands how I care..."

Landon's PoV

"Hay..." I am sitting here in the sofa staring at my husband who's outside, drinking beer while emotional.

"Pano kita iiwan niyan?" Bulong ko sa sarili ko looking how devastated he is just because Veronica pushed us away. Pano pa pag... pag ako na yung nawala? How will he take it kung... kung aalis at lalayo lang din si Veronica?
