"Yes, it's not easy. But I can try." Sabi ko kay tito habang naguguluhan.
Hindi ko kaya basta-basta um-oo sa gusto niyang mangyari. Alliana
"Wala naman kaming ginagawa ni Alliana. We are friends." I added. I don't know if he's going to me or not. But I don't think he will believe me, tito is not born yesterday.
"It's obvious in my daughter's actions that you are so special to her."
"She's also special to me. I'm happy when I'm with her. Kaya parang ang imposible naman po ng gusto niyong mangyari. Na lumayo ako sa anak niyo." Kasi parang hindi ko 'ata kaya.
"Anak ko lang iniisip ko dito. I don't think that the relationship that the both of you that are having will be good for her."
I sighed.
Yes. Si Alliana din ang iniisip ko. All I wanted is the best for her too.
"Malulungkot din si Alliana kapag lumayo ako."
"Sadness could last just for a meantime. I wanted her to get married and have kids." Napalaylay ako ng balikat nang dahil sa narinig ko.
It's so obvious na parang ayaw sakin ng papa ni Alliana. Though, he doesn't hate me, he just wants what's the best for Alliana.
"I got your point tito, I really understand what you're saying. Please just give me a little bit of time." Nakangiti kong sabi. I don't want to be rude.
Tumalikod na ako umalis. I don't want to engage in anymore conversation with him. Naiintindihan ko na siya kaya wala nang dapat pang pag-usapan. Ayaw ko nang ipush pa ang side ko.
Habang tulala ako dito sa kinakain ko... si Alliana ang iniisip ko. This is a big challenge for me. I mean... I don't know if I can fulfill her father's wish. Pinapakiusap niya sakin. Mahirap din kasi para sa'kin ang pinapagawa niya.
"Can I have a moment with you?" Natigil ako sa iniisip ko nang biglang magsalita si Kuya.
I just nod. Umupo siya sa tabi ko.
He put a box infront of me. Lumaki ang mga mata ko sa nakita ko.
"What's that for?"
"Help me. I don't have any idea how to propose with her." It's confirmed.
It's a ring. I looked at him with confused. "Magpro-prose ka na kay Alliana, kuya?"
He nod. "Yes, I will."
Hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat kong maramdaman. Dapat ba akong masaktan o maging masaya para kay kuya?
"That's good. I'm happy for you." Hindi ko pinahalata sa kaniya ang lungkot ko.
"Do you think she will say yes?"
Napaayos ako ng upo sa tanong na yan.
"Yes she will." Walang alinlangan kong sagot.
Sana nga.
Wala din namang ibang choice si Alliana kundi ang um-oo sa proposal ni Kuya. If she won't accept it, I'm pretty sure that her father will for force her to. That's what her father told me.
Hindi lang magawa-gawa ni Alliana ang pagpapakasal mga kapatid ko nang dahil sakin. Masyado akong hadlang.
My brother, Kuya Persiah, had just announced his engagement to Alliana, and the household is filled with excitement. Ako naman, hindi ko talaga alam ang dapat kong maramdaman.
"Crest," Kuya Persiah said, turning to me with a smile, "I would really love to hear your suggestions for the wedding."
Natawa ako pero pilit.
I faked my smile and I clasped my hands together. "Oh, Kuya, I've been thinking about this for days! Marami akong isasuggest."
"I'd love to hear everything." Ani Kuya.
"How about we have the ceremony in the beach? Beach wedding. It's so beautiful there, especially at sunset."
"Do you think Alliana will love it?"
Hindi ko alam. "Siguro?"
Kasi namention rin sa akin ni Alliana noon na gusto niya ng beach wedding. Gusto kong ishare kay kuya Persiah ang mga alam ko.
Lumapit sa amin si mommy at niyakap ako.
Mom nod in agreement. "That sounds lovely, dear. And we could decorate the place with lights and flowers to make it even more magical."
Kuya Persiah grunted in approval. "A simple and elegant celebration. I like it."
"And for the feast," I continued, my excitement bubbling over, "we could have a variety of dishes for all the guests! We'll get a good chef so he could provide his famous dishes, and we could also even have some of mom's homemade foods."
Ang saya-saya kong mag-suggest... Pero sa tuwing naaalala ko na si Alliana ang ikakasal, umiiba na ang naramdaman ko.
Kuya Persiah grinned at my suggestions. "That sounds delicious, Crest. And for entertainment, perhaps we could hire a band?"
My eyes sparkled with delight. "Yes, and we could even have a dance under the stars afterwards! It would be a night to remember."
As our family discussed the finer details of the wedding, I couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness for my brother, knowing that I was helping to create a day that would be filled with love and joy for my brother and his bride-to-be. But at the same time, I felt sad. Hindi ko talaga naiiwasang malungkot. I love Alliana. I loved her so much to the point na sana ay ako nalang ang pakasalan niya.
Pero ano ang magagawa ko? Wala na.
Pumunta na ako ng kwarto ko. I felt tired... Kahit wala naman akong ginagawa. I'm really drained.
I started scrolling through my socials.
Madami namang nagkakagusto sa'kin. Madaming nag-ddm... Why does my mind always stucked on her? I mean, ang hirap kalimutan.
Is this karma? Masyado ba talaga akong naging playgirl noon kaya siguro hindi ko deserve na mapaakin ang taong gusto ko ngayon?
