I Got Broken

Chapter 36

Chapter 37

After a very embarrassing moment that happened at France's birthday party, I was a little bit awkward towards Tyler. Ewan ko ba, I know I said something crazy to him eventhough he said I didn't. Bakit ba kasi ako nag lasing nun, bakit?
*Beep beep beep*
My Mom's face popped out on the screen of my phone so I swiped to accept the call. Nasa kwarto ako ngayon nag babasa ng libro and also reminiscing what happened for the past few days while Tyler and Nanay is downstairs preparing dinner, I think?
"Yes?"I answered.
[Oh sweety how are you?]Tanong ni Mom na tila natuwa.
"Well on the fact that my parents abandoned me with a stranger, everything's fine."Sabi ko sa pinaka sarcastic na tono.
[Sorry dear there was an emergency kasi dito, ngayon lang nga ako nagkaroon ng time para matawagan at kamustahin ka eh.]She said over the phone.
"Wow Mom thanks for the time."I said again with a sarcastic tone.
[Anak naman eh, please just understand us for now. We're doing everything to save the company. We just want what's best for you and this family.]She explained.
"How is forcing me to marry a stranger  the best for me and the family?"I asked with a tone.
[Oh dear, you don't remember Tyler do you? Well I guess you'll remember him at the right time for sure. Well I gotta go dear, you're father's calling me and by the way we'll be coming back next month for your birthday. I love you, bye!]And she hung up giving me the biggest question mark ever.
What did she mean about not remembering him?Did I know Tyler from before?Sino ba talaga si Tyler sa buhay ko noon?Pati si Grandma sinabing I met him once daw. Wala naman talaga akong matandaan eh, although he does have some similarities with Tibi. Well except for the looks, si Tibi kasi noon may bangs, may nerdy glasses, may braces and ang badoy manamit. It couldn't be him, saka si Tibi may kapatid na babae named Trisha. Ang pagkaka-alam ko kasi only son lang si Tyler kasi wala naman siyang na mention na kapatid eh. Saka ang alam ko, Tibi was only raised by his Mother. The world is too big for our paths to cross again, so it's impossible. Saka kung si Tibi yang si Tyler dapat matagal na siyang nagpakilala sakin, diba?
SVIMH(Strange Voice In My Head): Ay teka ineng, ako bang tinatanong mo?😅
HAY!Mababaliw lang ako neto eh.

*Ding Dong*
I hear the door bell ringing so I went downstairs to open the door.
Nakita ko si Tyler na papunta na sa pintuan pero inunahan ko na siya. Pagbukas ko I saw a familiar face, she had a bright smile. Saka may katabi din pala siyang lalaki na ka same age niya holding a baby girl and some luggage.
"Fie-fie!"And then it hit me, it was ate Trisha. She hugged me tightly and jumped while on it. Bakit naman nandito ang kapatid ni Tibi?
And it's weird, kasu una nasa thought ko lang siya kanina and poof! now she's infront of me.
"Oh my!ang dalaga mo na and so beautiful too."She said while letting go from the hug. I just stood there still stunned of what just happened. Si ate Trisha ba talaga to?Teka naguguluhan na ako. Napatingin si ate Trisha sa likod, saka napa ngiti ng nakakaloko.
"Ate ba't kapo nandito?"I asked still confused of the situation.
"What do you mean?I'm here for my sister in law's upcoming birthday and my lil bro's upcoming engagement party too."She said overjoyed. Sister in law?Lil bro?Sino naman yun?Napatingin uli si ate Trisha sa likod, pagtingin ko sa likod naka face palm na si Tyler. Napatingin ako ulit kay ate Trisha.
"Ate naguguluhan po ako."Sabi ko na tila nawawalan na ng tamang pag-iisip.
"Oh my, you haven't told her yet did you?Geez bro what is wrong with you?Making her think you're a stranger. You do know you've changed a lot since you were young right?"Ate Trisha nagged to Tyler about something that I didn't know of.
"Ate I was gonna tell her naman eh"Ano daw?!Why is he calling her ate?Ano naba talagang nangyayari dito?
SVIMH(Strange Voice In My Head):
Wag kang mag-alala, I'm confused as well. Chaaaar!Nag english aketch bravo!
"Eh kailan naman yun?Fix this Ty. So while you handle that Kit, little Kisha and I will prepare dinner. Manang!Could you help us with this?"And with that they dissappeared to the kitchen leaving Tyler and me by the door way.
"Talk."I demanded as I crossed my arms.
"I'll just show you instead."Bigla niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko at hinila papunta sa taas.

Nasa kwarto niya na kami ngayon, and wow ngayon palang ako naka pasok dito. Ang ganda ng room niya dahil ang daming naka hang na pictures sa walls, which were painted white and had a peaceful vibe in it. There's a book shelf on the side and a computer. The bed was colored darker and also the carpeted floor.
"Hay pano ko ba to sasabihin."Tyler said habang ginulo ang buhok niya. I just stayed quiet and waited for him to talk.
Bigla niyang kinuha ang wallet niya sa pockets niya then he pulled out a picture. He lent me the picture and what I saw shocked the horror out of me. It was the polaroid picture I took of Tibi when he laid on the ground of the playground in the states. So does this mean that Tyler was Tibi all along?Napatingin ako ulit kay Tyler.
"Fie-fie it's me, Tibi."Sabi niya saka napangiti.
