His Obsession (Series #2)

Chapter 23

Ipinagdasal ko sa boung byahe na sana ay makarating kami agad sa condo. Taimtim ko iyong ipinalangin sa utak ko.

Though, I didn't know what to do when the time isn't helping me but reciprocate my prayers. Imbes na patakbuhin ng mabilis ang oras, tila bumabagal pa ito habang papalit na kami sa destinasyon.

"You're already married...," mahina ngunit rinig kong sambit niya.

Napapitlag naman ako dahil sa lamig na dinulot 'non sa sistema ko. He's little bit disappointed while he's uttering words I couldn't hear because he's lowering his tone.

"I'm not!"

At mukhang nagsisi pa ako nang sinabi ko iyon dahil naramdaman ko ang paglingon niya sa'kin kahit nagda-drive parin.

His lips pursed. "What do you mean you're not? You even had kids!"

Kasi anak mo po 'yon!

Gusto ko sanang sabihin ngunit nagpipigil nalang ako dahil alam kong hindi ko naman talaga kayang sabihin sa kanya ang totoo.

"It's none of your business," suplada kong giit, this time, my sight focuses on the road.

The moment I spend my time to him, the more my heart getting wilder and aggressive. I tried to calm it by thinking a scenarios in my head, just like what I've always did when I felt nervous everytime I made a mistake.

But it doesn't helping either. Its only doubled and I cannot do anything for it to stopped. Ganito yata talaga ang epekto niya sa'kin. Hindi naman ganito ang naramdaman ko noong magkita kami ni Rico sa bahay nila.

"How about Rico?" Tanong ko nang pumasok bigla sa isipan ko ang kapatid.

I know he needs to explain what actually happened when I was away with them. Ang dami ko tuloy gustong itanong sa kanya.

He shrugged. "None of your business!" Gaya niya sakin.

Nag-init ang ulo ko at mabilis siyang binalingan. How dare him mocked and answered me that way!

"I'm serious Zacheo! I want to know why he's mad at me."

"Didn't you think of asking that to yourself?"

I rolled my eyes and if stare could shot peoples head, kanina ko na siya napatumba.

"What else could I get from you...," pailing-iling kong sambit.

Sa mga gabing nagdaan na hindi ko nakikita si Rico at naaalala ang tinding galit niya sakin, I always envies him. He's now closer to him. They looked like they're real relatives and they had their depth way of bonding each other just like bros.

And I'm jealous just thinking I was supposed to be with him as his older sister. That I never wanted to broke our bond and it's just fate who's keeping us away everytime I made time to see him.

But when I looked into the other side. Zacheo adopted him and let him lived in their house with a comfortable bed for him to rest and sleep well. Zacheo let him study in his dream school, giving what he wants, buying his brandy clothes and gifting him luxurious things.

Who would think, may ganyan pala siyang side?

Kaya siguro galit na galit sa'kin si Rico dahil imbes na ako ang nariyan para sa proseso ng paggaling niya, ibang tao pa ang nag-alaga sa kanya.

My wrath for him suddenly faded, and I just let out a heavy sighed before landed my stare to my fingers playing together.

"T-thank you...," halos binulong ko nalang iyon sa hangin upang hindi niya marinig.
