Chapter XXXXIV

Kellin's POV
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

"Congratulations!" Sinalubong ko siya hawak ang boquet of white roses and a gift.

Natatawa niya kong tinapik sa balikat.

"Para namang hindi ka rin nag-graduate." Aniya.

"Mas masaya kong naka-graduate ka. Isa iyong himala." Biro ko sa kanya.

Matalim niya kong tiningnan.

"'Wag mo kong umpisahan, Kellin Chua. Hindi mo magugustuhan." Banta niya sa'kin. Alam ko kung bakit. Napangisi ako. She's having her monthly period. Lumapit ako sa kaniya. Iniabot ko ang bulaklak saka ko siya mahigpit na niyakap.

"Don't worry. After this graduation and the preparation for the wedding. You'll not get troubled having period every month." I whispered naughtily.

"Ahhㅡ" May kalakasan kong sigaw. Tumunog nanaman kasi ang likod ko sa lakas ng hampas niya. Bumitaw ako sa kanya para i-unat ng bahagya ang likod ko. Feeling ko na-dislocate ang spinal cord ko.

"H'wag mong sasaktan mga babies natin ah! Magkakalasog-lasog yung mga yun." Biro ko ulit. Napahalakhak ako ng mapansin kong namumula siya.

"Uyyy! Nahihiya." Tukso ko ulit sa kanya.

"Kellin?" Pinanlakihan niya ko ng mata. Magwo-walk out na sana siya nang biglang dumating sila Ate Kahlia, Ate Asylum at ang Mama niya. Yumakap sila isa-isa kay Ady. Nilapitan ako ni Ate. She hug me tight.

"Congrats lil' boy. You made it." Anito.

Masuyo kong hinaplos ang likod niya.

"Para sa'yo talaga 'to ate. Nagkataon lang na nakilala ko si Ady." Pahayag ko. Although I'm not used to say sweet words to her perhaps I'll make it to the point saying it now because she deserves it.

"Thanks for everything, ate. Wala man sila mom and dad. Still life is beautiful because I have you. I barely say this but yeah. I love you sis."

I heard sniffs. She maybe touched that's why it brought her into tears.

"You know what? I'm not asking God why He never gave the chance of having parents beside me that's because I'm already contented to you. At times you're over-protected and I got irritated. You can't blame me. I'm just human but I absolutely knew that you just care for me. That you just wanted to make sure everything is in the right place. That you simply want the best for me and I really really appreciate that also I'm really thankful and grateful that you've wished nothing but the better and best for me. You see? That's how wonderful sister you are to me." Pahayag ko. This time it's not just a sniff. She's really crying out loud that she couldn't utter a word.

"Shhh. Stop crying ate. Papangit ka niyan." Biro ko sa kanya. She loosened her arms around me. I gave her my white hanky. She wiped her tears using it.

"You asshole. I just can't believe you'll graduate." Natatawa niyang saad.

"Para ka talagang si Ady. Kellin ang pangalan ko hindi Asshole, bastard, lampa, tanga, bobo what-else?" Pahayag ko na lalo niyang ikinatawa.

"Seriously, i thank that girl for making you way better than before." Aniya.

Ako naman ang natawa.

"Am i that worthless before?"

Sabay kaming tumawa. Para kaming mga sira na puro tawa. Kunsabagay, may dahilan pa ba para umiyak? Wala na. Swerte ng maituturing ang lahat ng ito.

"Anyway, i booked a flight for the both of you. A little present from the happiest sister." Aniya.

I gasped in surprise. I just can't believe. Naipa-cancel ko na kasi yung flight to korea namin dahil nga sa binigyan ko na muna ang mag-i-ina na magka-time sa isa't isa.
