"It's OK. Stop crying." I said as I pat Angela's back.
"No! That will never be okay. Cyker, you know how much he means to me! Hindi ko kayang mabuhay ng wala siya!"
"Mahal mo noh. Kaya ka nagkakaganyan."
"Sobra." I sigh. Angela is turning pink. One of the perks of being a pig in your past life. Tumingin ako sa direksyong tinitignan nya. At doon, nakita ko ang dahilan ng pag-iyak nya.
NILELECHON.NA.BABOY.
"Ang sama talaga ni Lee. What a heartless jerk!" Angela said angrily. Tinignan ko sya ng masama as if saying "Isa pang insulto mo kay Lee, kakatayin na kita!"
Magbibirthday na kasi niyan si Lee kaya nagpakatay siya ng baboy.
But then a thing caught my eyes. It's a pair of cold eyes staring at me.
It's Aleah's.
Ever since the world began, she hates me. I heard she has a crush on Lee. Well unfortunately for her, Lee is mine.
Sayo ba? Kontra ng utak ko.
Fine, Lee will soon be mine. I can feel it, he wants my attention. Assuming na kung assuming. Yun ang nafifeel ko.
I was so deep in my thoughts until natusok ako ng kung ano mang matulis na bagay. It's a thorn. And I won't bother taking a glimpse of his face because I know who he is.
"Terrence. Hindi ako pin cushion." Nagtawanan kami.
"Who knows? You might be a pin cushion in your past life, Sister. Hmm..interesting." He said mockingly. I rolled my eyes at him. His presence can make me smile.
"So are you going to the ball tonight?" He asked me. Torniquo will be having a "Past Life Ball" tonight where the residents will show off their beautiful costumes representing what they were on their past lives. It's for reminiscing and appreciating who they were and accepting who they are now.
"For what? I will represent nothing." I said bitterly. Our neighbors tell I'm lucky because I'm normal. But the truth is, I feel unlucky because I am common. I also want to experience weird things. I like the spikes of Terrence and admire Angela for being pink. Inggitera na kung inggitera, di ko mapigilan.
"It's OK. Everyone is welcome there." Pilit ni Angela na nakarecover na sa baboy na nakatay.
"Still a no." I'm a single-minded person. When I say no, then it's a no. when I say yes, then it's a yes. No one can make me change my mind.
"Sige na ate. Masaya yun." Binabawi ko na yung sinabi ko kanina that my brother's presence can make me smile. Naiinis na ko ngayon.
"No. And it's final" I told yah, nothing can make me change my mind.
