Aiden’s POV

Ganun ba talaga si Nicole dati? I don’t know why they treat Chelsea that way. She’s kind and I know medyo makulit sya pero she’s a good girl. She’s like my sister.

“ahmm. Aiden, I’m sorry. Dhil saken, nag away kayo ng friends mo.” Sabi nya habang umiiyak.

“shh.. it’s not your fault.” Sabi ko sa kanya. Bigla nya akong niyakap at umiyak. Just like a little girl. :D

“ano kaya nangyari kay Nicole? She isn’t the Nicole I knew.”

“Nicole ? nanaman? How many times do you have to say that name? ayw nya sayo, tigilan mo na sya.” Sabi agad ni Chelsea saken. Medyo nagulat ako dhil ngayon lang nman sya nag Salita ng ganun.

“alam mo, tiniis ko. All this time. Khit ako ang kasama mo, Nicole Nicole Nicole.. blah blah. Ano bang meron sa kanya na wala saken? Nandito ako, sya wala . tsaka may iba syang gusto, at di ikaw. Please, realize that.” Huh? Ahh.. wait a sec. Chelsea, likes me????

“Mahal ko lang tlaga sya. Without reason. Love cannot be explained. It is supposed to be felt. Kaya hndi yun based sa kung anong meron sya o kung ano sya. I know, may mahal syang iba, si Lawrence it’s obvious that she doesn’t like me but kailangan ba pag di nya ako gusto di ko rin sya gugustuhin? Hndi ko nman sya pinipilit na magustuhan nya rin ako.”

“eh ako? Paano ako? What was that? Ano yung lahat na pinakita mong kabutihan saken? Was that just a friendly gesture?”

“no. I treat you more like a little sister.”

“sister?? ..it’s not enough! I love you!” nabigla ako sa sinabi nya. Napaupo nlang sya sa sofa at umiyak.

“I’m sorry. I can’t love you . I just love you as a friend. As a little sister. That’s all.” Tumingin sya sa mga mata ko at tinitigan nya ako. Nagkalapit mukha namen then…….

O_______O I . . . she. . . we kissed.  O___o  

“I didn’t mean it. . . I’m sorry.” Nagsmile sya then kiniss nya cheeks ko.

“okay. I get it now. Kuya.” Sabi nya. Nagsmile na din ako . I need to call Nicole. I have to tell her now.

FLASHBACK

RIIIIING…….

“yes, hello?” huh? Sino tong babaeng to. I’m sure d ako nagkamali sa pagdial.

“hi. I’m calling aiden?”

“ahh. aiden. Who’s this?”

“Nicole.”

“huh?? Nicole? Oh how are you ?” huh? Sino ka ba? Ba’t feeling close ka? T_T

“who are you?”

“Chelsea here. Aiden’s G.I.R.L.F.R.I.E.N.D. just to be clear.” Sabi nya. Bruhang to, sarap sampalin.

“pwede bang pakausap si aiden? Di ikw ang tinawagan ko eh.”

“if you have something to say. Sabihin mo nlang saken.” Ano ka ni aiden? Nanay? Hah!

“good byeeee..” sabi ko nlang at pinatay ko. Lecheng babaeng yun. Baka nman nag aambisyon lang syang gf sya ni aiden. O baka nga sila na. T_T di sya nagrereply sa mails ko or texts.

Tururuuuut~~

 You have 1 voice mail.

“Please don’t call or text me anymore. Don’t bother me or my girlfriend and just leave us alone.” Boses yun ni aiden. First, a tear fell into my cheeks. Hanggang bumuhos nlang ng bumuhos. Umasa ako, na khit konti, khit konti, gusto nya rin ako. I was just imagining things. Ambisyosa ako. T_T

End of the Flashback

Umiyak nalang ako ng umiyak tuwing naalala ko yun.

RIIIIIIING…

Tiningnan ko yung phone, si Aaron pla.

“hello?”

“hello. Nicole? Have you been crying?”

“hndi. Ahh.. sinisipon lang ako. Bket ka pla napatawag?”

“ahh. eh ksi i’m sorry. Pinilit ko si Lawrence. He told me everything. I just wanted you to know that we’re here for you. Pag sundo ni Lawrence sayo bukas, sasama ako. I just want to see you.”

“wait. You don’t have to come all the way here in Philippines.”

“no. I have to. Pupunta ako dyan. Okay? You take care of yourself.”

“okay. I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye.” Nag bye na rin sya at pinutol ko na ang tawag.

I worry everyone else. I can’t do this anymore. Di ko kakayanin na aabalahan pa nila ako, they can just forget about me. It will be hard for them and for me if they won’t just forget it.

Knock knock..

“Nicole?”

“dad.” Pinunasan ko agad luha ko at inayos ko ang upo ko sa kama ko.

“dad, I’m sorry. You can just forget about me dad. You can just….” Niyakap ako ni dad kaya tumulo nlang luha ko.

“my god Nicole. You’re one of my treasure. Kayong tatlong magkakapatid. I’ll never forget you. I love you. i'am the one who's in fault in all of this. i have hurt you a lot. i'm so sorry anak.”

“please dad. di kana tumigil sa kakasorry eh.. I love you too dad.”

“tara let’s eat?” sabi ko with a smile.

I really need to do something. They should.. I mean, they HAVE to forget me. T_T
