MSIH Series 1 : What Is Love

Chapter 19

XYRRAH

"We gathered here today to witness the last..." hindi ko kayang pakinggan. It's just too agonizing to hear.

Nandito kaming lahat sa Sandoval's private cementery.

Inilagay ang abo ni Blake kasama ang mga namayapa na niyang mga ninuno.

Natapos ang seremonya at nagsi alisan na ang mga tao.

"We're always here for you, Xyrrah." Queen hugged me before bidding goodbye.

"You can make it through this. Okay?" sabi ni Stacey saka niyakap ako at umalis na.

"Ate Xy." umiiyak na sabi ni Bianca. I felt guilty that I avoided looking at her. I killed his brother. I know how he loved his brother.

Niyakap niya ako kaya tinugon ko ang yakap niya. I saw Blake's cousin, Jaemi. Umiiyak ito. She was sent here and Blake was told to look out for her. She just had a heartache and I gave another one.

Nang bumitaw si Bianca, nilapitan ko si Jaemi. I hugged her so tight. I feel really guilty. She had been through a lot. Blake used to tell me how much he really cares and love this girl.

Pinakawalan ko si Jaemi at umalis na ito. Nahuli ko namang nakatingin si Stella saakin. Mugto ang mata nito. Anger flashed through her eyes.

I understand her. She loved Blake. Hindi bilang kaibigan. But she never stood in our relationship. Ni minsan hindi siya naging dahilan ng pag aaway namin ni Blake.

Blake see's her as a friend and like a sister. Mas close nga sila ni Stella kesa sa pinsan ni Blake na si Stacey, half sister ni Stella.

I never got jealous on her with Blake. Stella respected our relationship. But now she's angry at me. Maybe because Blake choosed me instead of her.

She was the first in Blake's life. She wore her sunglasses and rudely walked passed by me.

And there I was. All alone. I cried again.

I just can't get over it. How I wish his still alive. He's not an ordinary person right? he can fake his death. I know he can do that.

Umiyak lang ako ng umiyak.

"Here." nag-angat ang tingin ko sa lalaking naglahad saakin ng panyo. My eyes watered.

"B-blakey." mabilis ko siyang niyakap. Then I froze. He's not my Blakey. Bumuhos ang luha ko.

"You're not him." umiyak ako lalo. He really is gone. This person infront of me has a different body built.

His more mature and taller. But he looks exactly like him. Bakas ang lungkot sa mga mata nito.

"I'm Kent Sandoval. Blake's older brother." naikwento nga ni Blake saakin na may kapatid siya. It's him.

"You must be, Xyrrah. Blake's girlfriend." nakatingin lang ako sa baba. Ayaw kong tignan ang mukha niya. Lalo lang akong naiiyak.

Blake used to tell me that he and his brother were really close. They know everything about each other. They're also love the same thing. Mas lalo akong na-gi-guilty.

"He used to tell me he doesn't want you to be sad. And also he wants you to be happy." lalo akong napa-iyak.

"Shit, don't cry. If Blake was alive he'd kill me knowing I made you cry." nag-pa-panic na sabi nito.

Tahimik nalang akong umiyak and I was so rude that I managed to smile because of Blake's brother. I found him silly just like him. I felt mad at myself.

I don't deserve to be happy after what I did to Blake.

"I want to get to know you better. Blake always tells story about you." tumango ako. I also wanted to know who is this brother of his.
