BREI
"You what?" I siged and look at Bri.
Yes, I visit her into her house.
I wanted us to talk and clear things up.
I'm the oldest, I should be the one to make the first move.
Alam ko naman na marami rin akong nagawang mali kay Bri.
We never really talked that much since we're kids.
Pero iba na ngayon, we're adults and I actually owe her for taking care of my family.
"I want you to come to our wedding"
"Tsss.. Seriously? Are you even thinking?" Inis na sagot niya.
"Lasing ka ba?" Magulo kasi ang bahay niya which is odd.
Ang alam ko kasi malinis siya sa lahat ng bagay.
"Not your business. Tsss"
"Bri I came here to ask. Can you at least be nice?"
"Woah. Ikaw ba talaga yan? Tigilan mo nga ako Ate. It's giving me creeps!"
"Tsss.. Are you coming?"
"Nope. I'm not masochist. Hindi pa ako nakakamove on kay cait. kaya please, wag mo akong pilitin"
"Kahit wag na samin ni cait. kahit kay brae na lang" Natahimik siya at nag isip.
I know when it comes to Brae she will easily back down.
"I will try. How was the kids?"
"All good. They misses you, tho. Bakit ba hindi ka nag pupunta sa bahay?"
"Tsss.. tapos ano? tatanungin mo kung anong ginagawa ko dun? Or you gonna be sweet as hell to cait"
"Syempre asawa ko yun eh"
"Gago!" Natawa ako sa sinabi niya.
"Anyway, nandito na lang rin ako. Thank you. I know this is all hard for you. Maniwala ka man o hindi, I never intended to hurt you. K-kung sakali na nagustuhan ka ng asawa ko. Which is I highly doubt, I'll back down. But I know Cait more than anyone." Bri is looking at me intently.
"A-alam ko we never had a nice conversation, ever. I don't know when it started, that you are too aloof to us. Saamin ng mga kapatid mo. Parang hindi na nga kita kilala, well, dati pa naman. Noon, parang okay lang sakin. But now, we're adults already. Bri. Is it still because of your bestfriend back then?" I saw her sighed and shook her head.
"It's in the past. Halos nakalimutan ko na nga. I don't know ate. Maybe, I'm used to being your shadow. Every time. Every fucking time! I'm not jealous or what, I already got used to it"
"Kaya ba sa US ka nag stay?" Tumango siya.
I see sadness in her eyes. Kahit hindi niya aminin sakin, hindi parin sya sanay na ganito kami.
"C-can we start and be nice to each other?"
"We're good Ate. I didn't have any anger towards you. Believe it or not"
"So can you come?"
"I'll try"
"Sorry for everything Bri---"
"Tsss.. Ate, I told you, wala kang dapat ihingi ng sorry. You're making a deal out of it. Yes, I fell inlove to cait, but that's not your fault. Aaminin ko, ginawa ko ang lahat para maagaw siya sayo. That's the reason why I've been hesitant to tell her your alive. Because I hope that maybe, just maybe, she fell for me. Akala ko nga may pag asa ako. Pero sa isang iglap, sa isang sabi lang ni Breielle na buhay ka, everything's change. Doon isinampal sakin ng tadhana na wala akong aasahan. That I can never replace you in her heart and life. At walang may kasalanan sa inyo non. Even Cait, we are just a victim of a fucking circumstances that we can't control. Kaya nga lumayo at umiiwas ako. Just give me time to move on" Wala akong masabi sa sinabi ni Bri.
