The One For Me

Chapter 5

(Flashback)

Colin's POV

Nagising ako sa ingay na nanggaling sa pinto ng unit ko.

Who the heck is this? Ang aga aga!

Ang sakit pa ng ulo ko, tinatamad pa kong bumangon.

"Good morning baby." Nagulat ako nang may bumulong sa akin at niyakap ako mula sa likuran ko sabay hinalikan pa ang pisngi ko.

Oo nga pala, nagparty kami kagabi dahil na rin sa success ng unang pelikula ko.

At kasama ko ngayon ang lead actress ng pelikula, pagkatapos ng party dumiretso kami dito, well you know, to do it.

As usual, one night stand.

Nagring ang phone ko at tinignan ko kung sinong tumatawag, it's my sister.

"What do you want?" I said

"Open this door kuya please, I need you." She said at umiiyak na sya.

"Sh*t what happened? Sandali." Tumayo ako at humarap sa babaeng nakasama ko kagabi "we're done here okay, get your stuff, you can leave now." Utos ko.

"What about breakfast?" She asked

"I don't do breakfast after it, okay? Come on, you know the drill." Nagbihis ako, hinintay ko syang matapos at sabay na kaming lumabas sa kwarto ko.

"So, that's it?" She said at parang naghihintay na halikan ko sya for the last time. No way.

"That's it." I said at binuksan na ang pinto ng unit ko, "Men." She said bago tuluyang lumabas ng unit ko.

Kaagad namang pumasok ang kapatid ko at dumiretso sa kusina para uminom ng tubig.

"What happened baby sis?"

Hindi sya sumagot, she just looked at me.

"Why are you crying?"

Huminga sya ng malalim bago nagsalita.

"How could you manage that?" She asked and I got confused so I asked her.

"Manage what?"

"Having sex with someone who doesn't love you. I'm not referring to just one gender, bilang ikaw kuya as a lalaki, I am referring to both, men and women. How could you do sex? Lalo na dun sa mga hindi naman talaga magkakakilala?"

I didn't expect those questions from my younger sister. I know she's young but not that young, she's a smart girl at syempre artistahin din. Kaya naman ligawin, and yes, she has a boyfriend. Take note, their relationship is serious.

"Well, hmmm. Do you really want me to answer that?"

"No." Sagot agad nya. Uminom ulit sya ng tubig at dumiretso naman sa sofa sa sala ko at naupo.

"Okay, what happend to you? Bakit ka umiiyak kanina?"

"Kuya, what if mabuntis mo ung babae kanina? Anong gagawin mo?"

Bakit ba hindi sinasagot ng batang to ang mga tanong ko, at tinatanong pa ko ng kung anu ano pabalik?

"Hindi yun mangyayari, I always use protection." Sinagot ko nalang tanong nya.

"Now, ang tanong ko ang sagutin mo. What happened to you? And why we're you crying?" I asked with authority.

Napayuko sya at bumulong pero narinig ko pa rin ito.
