**Gello's POV**

"So what now!!" sigaw ko sknya...kanina pa kami nag sisigawan dito sa loob ng kwarto.

"Gello, I didn't mean..I mean...I...I'm sorry..." sagot niya sakin habang umiiyak, damn! I can't bare to see her crying, umupo ako sa tabi niya sa higaan and hug her.

"Izzy...you should think first before you move." taha ko saknya.

"I'm sorry kuya...It's just..goosh! I'm sorry." sagot niya sakin habang naka yakap sakin na parang sa yakap niya naka depende ang buhay nilang mag ina.

"bakit mo ginawa to?" tanong ko sknya, we already talk about her attitude before. Napag usapan na naming titigil na siyang mag bar at makipag meet sa mga lalaki for her own good, she's doing very well, until the day na sinabi ko sknya na I saw Pricilla again. I don't know why she's acting like that.

"the day you told me the you saw your wife again, I went out that night...as you remember nag away nanaman tayo noon." 

tumango-tango lang ako sa kwento niya,

"I was scared that time that you would leave me, specially may anak kayo...I was so f***ing scared na hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko, so I went out and met this guy...he's, he's nice...I should have told you, pero I didn't. Iniisip ko na there's no point of telling you kasi aalis karin lang."

"You know I won't leave you..I promise you that." sagot ko sknya na may tono ng pag tatampo.

"but, Gello...she's the one...she's your wife...It's either you would leave me to save her from my pethetic husband or you would make her walk away...I'm sure you can't bare to make her walk aw--"

"I already did." mahina kong sagot, she didn't reply...she just took a deep breath.

"so, yhe..we went out a couple of times, without him knowing about my condition..I was about to tell him pero na unahan ako, naunahan ako ng takot na iiwan niya rin ako...he did...we did it."

"did he know?" tanong ko sknya...she started to cry again.

"yes...I told him after we did it..he cried and hated me...we didn't see each other after that." sagot niya sakin.

"I should talk to him...do you have any contact number or his address?" tanong ko.

"No! Gello..he hated me, what more kung malaman niyang buntis ako...gello, tama na yung inayawan ako ng pamilyang umampon sakin, tama na yung inayawan ako ng nanay mo, tama na yung galit sakin ang asawa mo, at tama na yung inayawan niya ako..." pag mamakaawa niya sakin.

"okey...so? what's our plan with that?" tanong ko refering to the baby inside her.

"I'll take risk...I want  this to live whatever the consequence is." sagot niya..

tumango-tango lang ako...a long silence occuried.

and my phone's ring-tone broke the silence..

sabay kaming napa tingin sa cellphone ko desplaying Prie's name...

I didn't pick it up...and later it died...

"why don't you answered it?" tanong niya sakin.

"I don't have to." sagot ko sknya.

"apat na araw kanang hindi umuuwi...you have kids kuya, you should not forget that." sabi niya sakin.

"yup..I know. umuwi naman ako kanina...which I should not did." sagot ko.

"nag away nanaman kayo?" tanong niya sakin...tumango lang ako bilang sagot.

"bakit?" follow up niya pang sagot.

"because she's erritating...hindi niya ba alam na busy ako, na hindi lang saknya umiikot ang buong mundo, she's ---"

"She's your wife." matigas na sagot sakin ni Izzy.

"She's not...I already signed her "gift" divorce papers." sagot ko sknya.

silence occured again...

"does she know about my situation?" mahinang tanong sakin ni Izzy.

napa buntong hininga ako.... "she didn't know you're my sister, and I guess she's thinking you're my mistress...we fought this afternoon kasi pinipilit niya akong sabihin saknya kung kanino yung preganancy test mo na nasa bulsa ng jacket ko."

she gasp..."should i talk to her?" tanong ni Izzy sakin with a worried face.

"Izzy...remember, this is not what we planned...we planned to make her wlak out of my life to save her to your crazy husband. And now, I guess we're near." sagot ko sknya.

"don't tell me...." nanlaking mata ng kapatid ko.

"Yes...I won't say anything about our relationship, fopr her to think that we have a baby...Let's see until when she can stand." sagot ko.

"No!! don't be selfish to her!" sigaw ni Izzy sakin.

"I'm just returning the favor! she's being selfish to me for the past 3 years, don't you see it? she hid the kids to me, and ngayon na wala na yung lalaking tumatayong ama ng mga bata saka niya lang pinakilala sakin, and nung nakaraang araw, she told me she wanted to go back to states with the kids."

"what did you say?" tanong niya sakin.

"I...I don't know what's my point that time..." sagot ko..hindi ko tlaga alam kung ano, I just wanted to shout when i heard her saying that she wanted to leave with the kids.

"don't you see...she's wlaking away now, pero you won't let her go."

hindi ko sumagot...hindi ko alam kung tama si Izzy...gulong gulo pa ako sa ngayon.

"you still love her?" mahinag tanong niya sakin.

"I don't...and if you wanted some proof, the next time na mag paalam siyang aalis na siya...I'll help her to pack the things."

.

pero imbis na omo-oo ang kapatid ko, tinawanan niya lang ako...

"what's funny?" tanong ko.

"you can't do that...pustahan tayo, sa susunod na sabihin niyang aalis siya, aawayin mo nalang siya, sasaktan and you'll acuse her too many things para ma guilty siya, so she won't leave you."

"I won't do that." depnsa ko.

"sige nga, pustahan nga tayo..." natatawang pang iinis niya pa sakin.

"okey...what's you're bet?" sagot ko.

"If i win...you'll leave me and live with them....kung manalo ka at makaya mo siyang hayaang umalis, you will stay with me until I die, and if my baby survive, Ipapalabas natin sa asawa, ex-wife, mo na anak natin siya."

natigilan ako ng ilang segundo sa sinabi niya....

"Okey...deal!" sagot ko sknya and headed to the door.

"where are you going?" tanong niya sakin.

"outside, to get some air." sagot ko.

"get some air? because we both know that you can let her leave you...kasi mahal mo pa siya." natatawang sagot ni Izzy sakin.

"don't tell me what to feel little sister..." sagot ko.

"I have to, because you're blind with all our stupid plans for your wife...nabubulag kana at naiisip mong hindi mo na siya mahal..."

"but, that's the truth...I don't love her anymore." then I went out.
