When Her Eyes Met Mine (COMPLETED)

Chapter 38. The other side of the story

TROY's POV

F*CK! PA'NO KO BA IEEXPLAIN SA KANYA LAHAT?

This is all my fault. Kung sinabi ko na lang sana sa kanya lahat simula umpisa, edi sana hindi magkakaganito...

Pero hindi eh! Mas masasaktan kasi siya kapag nalaman niyang...

Hindi ko nga talaga stepsister si Tifanny.

"Anong gusto mong palabasin sa babaeng yun? Na magkapatid tayo? Wow. Just wow, Troy! I thought you broke up with her! You're a liar!" Sabi ni Tiffany pagkadating na pagkadating namin sa bahay.

LIAR. I think this is the best word to describe me.

"Stop it Tiffany! In the first place, hindi naman talaga ako ang ama ng dinadala mo." Ilang beses ko nang sinabi sa kanya to, pero...

"How can you deny your own child, Troy?" Sabi niya. This is pure Bullshit!

"Alam mong hindi ko kayang gawin sayo yan, Tiffany!" I said. Nakauwi na kami galing sa bahay nila Dia. Alam kong wala na siyang balak lumabas, at baka mas lumala lang kung magsistay pa si Tiffany doon.

"Are you dumb? GINAWA mo na, Troy!!!" Her voice is starting to volume up. Shit! Pag talaga nagising si mom.

"You were drunk that time! Dinala kita sa hotel, I didn't even touch a strand of your hair Tiffany! You know how much I respect you." Sabi ko sa kanya. Lagi kong paulit-ulit na sinasabi to sa kanya pero wala talaga, hindi pa din siya naniniwala.

"You did! i woke up without clothes that time! You've said before that you love me. I need you Troy! Our baby needs you." FUCK. Ito na nga bang sinasabi ko eh, madaling mag assume ang mga babae, kaya sa huli namimis-interpret nila ang intensyon naming mga lalaki.

"Damn it! Yes Tifanny, I have loved you before 'cos you were my bestfriend." Napahilamos ako sa mukha.

"Did you already forget when you told me that Im more than a bestfriend to you!? For God's sake Troy! Bakit mo pa pinaramdam sakin na mahal mo ako? Edi sana hindi na ako nag-antay sayo ng isang taon!"

"I did! I have loved you more than that, cos I treated you as a sister! That's what I meant that time Tiffany!" Hindi ko alam kung bakit siya nag assume ng mga ganung bagay.

Tiffany wasn't really my stepsister. She was my bestfriend way back when I was in grade school, bago ko pa nakilala sila Shiro, Jiro, Ryven, at Rinno. Naging magbestfriends kami until Senior high. Close din siya sa buong banda dati. That was the time kung saan umamin siya sakin. Inamin niya na nafafall na siya sakin. Too bad, Im not the right guy to catch her. She was so desperate that time at sinubukan pa niyang magsuicide sa pag overdose ng slimming pills. Buti na lang naagapan kaagad siya. Pagkatapos nun, nag-iba na siya. Iniba niya ang pananamit niya, pati ugali niya. Hindi na siya yung dating Tiffany.

She was one of the reasons kung bakit pumayag ako sa gusto ni dad na pumunta sa Korea after graduation. I want her to forget me. Hindi ko rin nirereplyan ang mga texts niya. I also refused to answer her calls.

It was the last week of summer when she found out that I came back here. Nakita niya ako sa Song Paradise... That was the time na kasama ko si Dia.

Hindi pala siya tumuloy sa college. It was late when I found out na bumili siya ng stall sa Song Paradise para patayuan ng Boutique ng mga imported bags at siya ang nagbabantay ng stall nila.
