Back For You (MayWard) - Completed

T H I R T Y T H R E E

Year 2017 (PRESENT) - Part V

Maagang nagising si Edward na may ngiti sa kanyang mga labi dahil sa lakad nila ni Maymay kahapon. Nabuhayan nanaman ang puso niya. Hindi parin siya makapaniwala na hindi niya na ito kinailangan hanapin pa dahil alam niyang pinaglalapit na sila ng tadhana.

Babalik nanaman siya sa training ngayon sa kumpanya nila, at sobrang ginaganahan dahil insipirado siya. Sa pagbyahe niya papunta sa opisina ay inaalala niya ang mga bagay na pinagdaanan niya sa buhay, dahil masaya na ulit siya ngayon.

Naisip niya muli ang huling pag-uusap nila ng kanyang kapatid na si Laura bago siya umalis sa Germany, na lalong nagpatibay sa kanya. Nung hindi niya pala alam na single si Maymay, dito sa pag-uusap na to kumapit si Edward para sa pag-asa niya.

Flashback ULIT.

"One day to go. I'm heading back to the Philippines. I'm gonna miss you, though."

"I'll admit I'm gonna miss you too, even though you've always been mean to me. You're the worst sibling ever."

"Ah, come on. Until now you're bitter 'cause I'm mom's favorite. Hahaha Accept it na!"

"I'm more than mad at you for a lot of reasons. More than just that."

"Hey, I was just joking. Why so serious?"

"I still wonder why you never told me anything about Maymay after all."

"What do you mean?"

"Duhh! Hello? Seriously?"

"Yeah, I'm serious. What about her? And why her? It's been years already. You haven't even talked for the most part."

"I know, right? It has been years, you freak! How dare you?!"

"Wait. I don't understand."

Simula nung magkamabutihan hanggang nagkalabuan na si Maymay at Edward, wala ni isang kinuwento si Edward sa kapatid niya. Hanggang ngayon na babalik na siya ng Pilipinas, halos anim na taon, tikom ang bibig nito sa kapatid niya basta tungkol kay Maymay.

Nagtatampo parin si Laura sakanya dahil hindi man lang talaga niya ibinalita kay Maymay na halos araw-araw niyang kinukulit si Edward noon para lang sa kung anong balita sa kanya.

At dahil nga wala namang sinabi si Edward kay Laura tungkol sa feelings niya para kay Maymay mula noon na meron parin hanggang ngayon, nagpapanggap si Edward na normal lang ang lahat ng tanong sakanya, na walang namagitan sakanila, o kaya naman wala itong kinalaman sa pagbalik nito sa Pilipinas.

"Please tell me why you never told me anything about her. I still haven't got over it. You know that we're really close so why do that to me?"

"Okay. Basic. We just had some fight that we ended up not talking again for a long time."

"What is it about then?"

"Let's not talk about the past. It's done already. What's the point?"

"Woah. That stupid thing really hurts, you know. The heck, I've been waiting all these years for you to share to me everything. I hate you!"

"Calm down, wait. Everything?"

"Everything about her. Ugh! I hate to say this before you could even tell me, but I know you too much. I know you loved her. I knew it since the first time I met her. And it sucks 'cause you never even shared anything to me. I'm your sister but you never considered that!"
