Bizarre Love Triangle (Hiatus)

CHAPTER 1

UNO

"If I see you crying again, I swear I'm going to beat Uno's arse." Pinunasan ko yung luha ko tapos tumingin kay kuya.

"Kuya naman." I pouted. It's my 18th birthday party pero nandito ako sa may madilim na part ng garden namin. Crying. Unfortunately, my kuya caught me.

He sighed then crossed his arms. "Uno's my best friend but you're my sister. You're family. I fended off boys for you. Not that I need to because you're not interested on anyone except Uno anyway. My point is, I've been protecting you ever since, tapos basta-basta ka lang napapaiyak ni Uno? C'mon, Sky." Niliitan ko yung mata ko tapos tinignan siya ng masama. Pero totoo naman kasi. "But.. what I'm trying to say is," he continued, pointing his finger on me. "I don't want you getting hurt.. again.. and again and again.. because of my dumb@ss bestfriend. I wanted to protect you, Sky. Pero kailangan mo din protektahan ang sarili mo. Uno is one complicated guy. You deserve better."

I know kuya was the right. Bakit ba kasi palagi nalang ako nageexpect kay Uno? Lagi lang din naman ako nadidisapoint. Nagpromise kasi siya na pupunta siya ngayon sa party ko. Pero what do I expect? Si Uno 'yun. It's so natural of him to break his promise.

Hinawakan ko yung pointy finger ni kuya tapos kinagat. "Hey, it's rude to point!" I said while biting his finger. Kuya Cloud is bossy, rude and mean. He bullies a lot and most of the time a pain in the ass but I love him and I know that he loves me too.

"Aray! Araay!!" Sabi niya tapos hinala niya yung kamay niya mula sa akin. Ngumiti naman ako sa kanya. He may be annoying but I'm thankful to have him as my kuya.

"Kuya, I don't want you and Uno fighting. It's just not right. Bestfriends kayo, eh. Sangang-dikit kaya kayo non."

"Yeah, and you're such a tag along. Isa pa, we're not fighting. I just gave him what he deserves and he knows it." He said smirking habang umiiling-iling pa. Ayan siya, eh. Tuwang-tuwa kapag nay nabubully. Tsk tsk.

"Kuya, bawiin mo na 'yung pagsali mo kay Uno sa alay-lakad. You know how much he hates long walks. Kawawa naman." Grabe kaya yung linalakad 'dun. Tapos imagine, that's every Saturday for the whole school year! School org 'yun and they looked for volunteers. Nilista ni kuya yung pangalan ni Uno 'dun para daw ipang ganti ako. Asar na asar kasi siya kay Uno that time. Eh kasi naman. Dapat susunduin ako ni Uno dahil may pinuntahan na iba si kuya. Pero hindi niya ako nasundo. Naghintay ako ng two hours. Mukha akong tanga na naghintay sa kanya sa harap ng mall. That was really late. Around 11PM. I ended up booking a grab instead. Uno called me the next morning apologizing. Nakatulog daw siya. I guess, I wasn't really that important to him for him to stay up late at kalimutan na kailangan niya ako sunduin.

Kuya snapped his fingers in front of my face and that brought me back to my senses. I got lost thinking of Uno again.

"Pero seryoso, bakit ba kasi si Uno? He's my best friend pero sobrang boring kaya non. Pumili ka nalang ng matinong lalaki. 'Yung kagaya ko." Pfft. Si kuya talaga.

Sa totoo lang hindi ko din alam bakit si Uno. I grew up loving him. I don't know when I started loving him. I knew it all along. Like I was born to do it. To love him.

I glared at kuya. "Bakit matino ka ba? Gusto mo humanap ako ng kagaya mo eh babaero ka kaya. Magbago ka na kuya." I teased.

"Tss. Kasalanan ko ba kung madami nagkakagusto sa akin? Constancia genes, eh." Natawa ako then I rolled my eyes. "Ayun tumawa din!" Tapos kinurot niya yung pisngi ko. Bigla naman naging seryoso yung mukha niya. "Anyway, alam na ba niya?"
