greatest love

chapter 12

As Amara and Madie were heading home, they saw a guy approaching Migs' house. Curiosity piqued, they parked and quietly followed. Just as they reached the door, they witnessed Migs punching the guy and hitting him hard. Jazz intervened, trying to break up the fight.

Migs shouted at the guy, "Alam mo bang may boyfriend yang ginalaw mo?"

The guy, looking scared but defiant, replied, "I know, but we love each other."

Migs stormed off to her room, and Jazz helped the guy to stand. Moments later, Migs returned with a gun, pointing it at the guy.

The guy pleaded, "I'm really sorry, Migs, but we love each other. Please don't kill me."

Madie, sensing the danger, ran to her kuya and hugged her tightly, trying to calm her down. Amara quickly joined in, wrapping her arms around Migs. The comforting touch of her sister and Amara gradually softened Migs' anger. She lowered the gun and turned to Jazz, asking, "Pumili ka, Jazz. Ako o 'yang lalaki mo?"

Tears streaming down her face, Jazz hugged the guy and said, "I'm really sorry, Migs, but he's the father of my child."

Migs felt her heart shatter as she saw Jazz embrace the guy. Tears flowed down Migs' face uncontrollably. Amara continued to comfort her, trying to hold her together.

"Get out, Jazz. Get out and take your stupid boy with you," Migs shouted, her voice breaking.

Jazz attempted to give Migs one last hug, but Migs pushed her away forcefully, causing Jazz to stumble. Jazz, with tears in her eyes, picked up the guy and began to leave. Before stepping out, she turned back and said, "I hope you can forgive me, Migs."

Migs, her voice choked with emotion, replied, "I wish."

As the door closed behind Jazz and the guy, Migs burst into tears. Amara and Madie embraced her from both sides, trying to offer some comfort. Amara gently directed Madie to their room, ensuring she was away from the raw emotion. Then, Amara returned to Migs and hugged her tightly, whispering soothing words to help ease her pain.

Through the sobs, Migs felt a small flicker of relief, knowing that her sister and Amara were there to support her, even in her darkest moments.

As Migs grabbed her keys and headed for the door, Amara stepped in front of her, arms outstretched.

"Migs, where are you going?" Amara asked with concern.

"To the bar," Migs replied coldly.

"No, Migs. I won't let you. You could get hurt," Amara insisted, her voice firm but gentle.

Migs scoffed, "So, who cares?"

As she tried to push past Amara, Amara hugged her tightly, trying to stop her. In her frustration, Migs accidentally pushed Amara away, causing her to stumble and hit her elbow against the wall.

Amara cried out in pain, "Ouch, Migs!"

Migs immediately regretted her actions. "Look, Amara, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it."

Madie emerged from her room, eyes wide with worry. "Kuya, why are you hurting Ate Amara?"

Migs, guilt-ridden, looked at Madie, struggling to find the words. Madie continued, "Hindi mo na ba siya mahal?"

Madie went to Amara's side and helped her to her room, glaring at Migs. "Look, I'm so sorry, Amara. I'm really sorry," Migs repeated, but Madie didn't even look back at her kuya. Instead, she locked the door behind them, leaving Migs feeling more isolated than ever.

Tears streamed down Migs' face as she realized the depth of her mistakes. She headed to her car, determined to drown her sorrows in the bar, ignoring the nagging voice in her head telling her it was a bad idea. She started the engine and drove off, her mind a whirlwind of pain and regret.
