In another lifetime

ELEVEN

"Done being childish?" iyan ang bungad sa amin ni Tita Elen pagbalik namin.

Yael just ignored her. He held my hand, "I'm going to marry Amethy" agad-agad nyang sinabi, hindi naman s'ya excited.

"No" His Mom firmly said

"Whatever Mom, I'm still gonna marry Amethy"

"She's for Axel"

"She's nobody's business but mine, okay"

Piniga ko yung kamay n'ya, time out nanay n'ya pa rin kausap n'ya.

Nang may biglang dumating na di ko inaasahan.

"Gwen?"

"Just in time, Yael she'll be your fiance and Amethy's for Axel, perfect isn't it?" Para akong nabinggi, si Gwen ang fiance ni Yael?

What is with me and my sisters, why are we dealing with the same guy? I mean okay Yael's not hard to love but "I'm gonna marry Yael tita, I'm sorry but I already said yes to him" I have to do this, he's mine now, he wants me, I want him.

"Aalis na po kami, Axel, Gwen I'm so sorry" I said before leaving with the man I want in my life.

Sinundan kami nina Dan.

"Ate wait"

"I'm sorry bunso kailangan kong gawin 'yon"

"No need for an apology, you just saved my relationship" nagulat ako sa sinabi ng bunsong kapatid ko

Biglang inakbayan ni Axel si Dan. Wait, O M G, "You mean s'ya yung boyfriend mo? I thought you're making up stories"

"Grabe ka sakin ate" tinignan ko si Yael.

"What?" he said nun mapansin n'ya na nakatingin ako

"You knew all about this didn't you?"

"I know everything, trust me"

"I trusted you enough Madrid, kaya nga ako magpapakasal sayo"

"So seryoso talaga kayo sa pagpapakasal?" Tanong ni Axel

We both nodded, hawak parin namin ang kamay ng isa't-isa.

"Pero hindi naman kayo diba?" sabi ni Dan.

Umurong yung dila ko sa sinambit ng kapatid ko. Oo nga pala walang 'kami' , "We have this mutual understanding, besides gusto n'yo bang kayo ang maghiwalay?" pagsasalo ni Yael.

"Amethy"

"Gwen"

"Can we talk?" Yael let go of my hand then suddenly kissed my left temple.

"I'll wait at the parking lot mahal ko" He said before leaving. O my gulay did he just.

"Ate usap din tayo after" sambit ni Dan bago sila umalis ni Axel.

"I have no intentions na agawin si Yael sayo"

"I have no intentions on letting you have him" No unless ayaw na sa akin ni Yael.

Natawa lang s'ya.

"Alam mo may kilala akong ganyan magsalita" tumaas ang kilay ko sa sinabi nya, ano bang gusto nito.

"Magkapatid nga kayo"

"Anong ibig mong sabihin?"

"Pero mas matapang ang dating ni Piper" Oh I nearly forgot, kaibigan nga pala sya ni Ate.

"What do you really want, Gwen"

"I wanted to be your fiend, and hopefully someday matanggap mo bilang kapatid"
