TREVHINCY'S POV
"You know we can go home if you're not okay.." Agad akong napabaling noong magsalita si Aizen.
"Huh?"
"Nakatulala ka lang dyan, I'm asking for your order but you answered me with a sigh. You sure you're okay?" Nag aalalang tanong nito sa'kin habang nakatitig.
I sighed heavily. Ang daming gumugulo sa isip ko and I feel like it's gonna explode any moment.
"See, ayan ka na naman.."
"Sorry." Naiiling na wika ko bago kinuha ang menu at nagtingin-tingin na ng mga pwedeng makain.
Ramdam ko ang paminsan-minsang sulyap ni Aizen ngunit pinanatili ko na lang ang paningin ko sa binabasa. Umorder lang ako ng steak at salad bago ibinalik ang menu sa waiter at nagpasalamat.
"Mind telling me what's bothering you?" Napatingin ako sa seryosong si Aizen. He reached for my hand at marahang pinaglaruan ito sa ibabaw ng lamesa. Some people around us noticed us but didn't say a word. They kept staring at us na para bang nakakita sila ng isang himala. People will really assume that Aizen and I have that kind of relationship. I won't deny how sweet he is. Kung iba lang siguro ako ay marahil minahal ko na yung lalaking ito. He's the greatest ideal guy. We grew up together so I knew him well. I know when he's happy, nor sad...troubled or depressed.
"Lolo wanted me to marry." Natigilan siya sandali but then he started to caress my hands again gently.
"I know." He answered. "I just wanted to confirm if the news is...."
" It is true. I have a fiancé, Aizen." I said with a sigh.
"Why can't it be me?" He whispered.
I squeezed his hands gently. I know he's troubled because of this. I know he'll offer himself to help me so I find someone before telling him because I know this will be his reaction.
"Zen, you think my family will believed us?"
"But Tito Travis likes me. I don't see any problem with that. I can stand you forever, you know that. It's just...why..." Halos mapayuko ito at mabigat na ang paghinga.
" You've done so much for me, Zen. I don't want you to be involved with this because I don't want to depend on you everytime. Hindi tayo palaging magkasama. One day, you'll find someone-"
" I won't. Im not going anywhere without you." Naiiling na wika niya matapos akong putulin sa pagsasalita. "I wanted to be involved, I wanted you to depend on me. I'll stick with you."
" Aizen...."
" Hindi ko maintindihan, Trev. Hindi eh." He sighed frustratedly.
Maging ako ay napabuntong hininga na. Sometimes, when Aizen was like this, I assumed he likes me. Yes, we are like siblings but I'm not closing the possibilities between us. And I don't want that. I don't want him to fall for me, not because I can't like him... It's because he's too good for me. I can't reciprocate the feelings, if ever.
