GAVIN'S POV

"I think its about time Sam. You can now call off the wedding. Ako ng bahala sa parents mo."

I knew Bree is there listening to our conversation. And yes parte ito ng plan namin.

But I can't help it anymore. Ang tagal na naming naghihintay. Kung mahal talaga ako ni Bree bakit na kay Seb pa din siya hanggang ngayon? Bakit hindi niya pa maamin na ako na ang mahal niya at hindi si Seb?

Hindi kaya pareho lang naming pinaniniwala ang mga sarili namin sa mga bagay na gusto lang naming paniwalaan?

Si Sam sa paghahangad ng pagmamahal ni Seb ay nagawang paniwalain ang kanyang sarili na ako ang mahal ni Bree?

At ako sa sobrang pagmamahal ko sa kanya ay nakumbinsi na rin ako ni Sam na maniwala?

And this plan is this really worth it?

"Sam this is not right." Mahinahong sabi ko.

Kumunot ang noo niya. "What do you mean?"

"This plan. We are deceiving everyone."

"Yes. Pero its for our own good Gav."

Umiling ako. "Yes OUR. Dahil para lang sa ating dalawa ang iniisip natin."

"W-what? We've talked about this Gav." halata na ang frustration kay Sam.

"Yes Sam, but I've realize that this isn't love. Love should not be deceitful and most especially not selfish. We are doing this out of our selfishness."

"Have you thought about Seb? What will happen to him if he lose Bree?" Nakita ko ang lungkot sa mga mata niya.

Sorry Sam but we need to face and accept the truth.

"Maybe your right when you told me that MAYBE Bree loves me, that she was deceive by her dream of happily ever after with Seb. But what about Seb? We all know that ever since this whole plan started her heart shouts for Bree alone. He can't even look at other girls, even to you." Paliwanag ko dito.

I know its not comforting but I think this is what we need.

"If that happens I will be there for him. I will never leave him." Sagot nito.

"That is what I mean by selfishness. We all know our real motive on this plan. And its not for the ones we love, but for our selfish love."

"And on the second thought, love is not selfish. So this is not love." I concluded.

"What are you talking about Gav?! We're this close with our plan. Why now Gav?" then she start to cry.

I hug her. "I know Sam. And I'm sorry if I realize this just now. Maybe just like you I become selfish."

Kumalas siya nga yakap sakin. "And now?" tanong nito.

I cupped her face. "Nangibabaw sakin ang pagmamahal ko kay Bree. Even if you are right, that she really love me, I will do everything just to spare her from hurting. She had enough. That's the least that I can do for her."

"But she loves you!" Pilit ni Sam.

"If she really love me, then I will be glad to welcome her with my open arm." Nakangiti kong sabi.

"So its all up to her now?"

Ngumiti ako at tumango.

"And as per you young lady, I think its about time to be honest with Seb.  Stop this pretend thing and confess to him."

I saw fear in her. "He will just reject me. And worst he will avoid me."

"Its his lost Sam. You are a great woman. You deserve the best. And kung ako lang hindi ako boto sa kanya para sayo, hindi dahil karibal ko siya kay Bree but because I don't think he is man enough to love someone."

I saw her sighed. "Okay if that's what you want. And as for my confess thingy, I'll think about it. I'm still scared."

I understand.
