Somebody Else's Fairytale

Twenty Two

Iago's POV

Pagkatapos namin maginom ni Red, I decided to go back to our room.

Pagpasok ko natutulog na ng mahimbing si Happy. I just watched her sleep. para kasi siyang anghel matulog; parang Walang problema. She's so peaceful. Unlike kapag gising siya at magkasama kami, parang laging ang dami daming naglalaro sa isipan niya. Haay.

I tried to get myself some sleep too.

At Paggising ko natutulog pa rin siya so I took a bath and went downstairs to get some breakfast. I'm planning to give her a breakfast in bed. Kaya lang pagbalik ko sa room namin wala na siya. Sayang.

*Knock. Knock*

I checked who was at the door and found out it was Kara. And and she was crying so I opened the door immediately.

"Why? What's wrong?" I asked.

"Siya pa rin ang mahal ni Red." umiyak na naman siya. I know she's talking about Happy. Hindi pwede, hindi pwedeng mahal pa rin siya ng kapatid ko :'( parang pinipiga ang puso ko isipin pa lang na mahal pa ni Red si Happy.

"No. Ikaw ang mahal ni Red, What made you think he still loves happy?"

"I see how he looks at her. Kanina habang namimili kami, nakita niya lang si Happy natigilan na siya. And he talks in his sleep di ba? One night he said "Happy, I love" Hindi ko alam, hindi ko muna pinansin yun kasi baka wala lang. Pero kaninang umaga. It's just so painful." She said and buried her face in her hands again.

No. Hindi pwede. I know my brother, he loves Kara. He wouldn't take the risk if he didn't love her.

I just hugged her and let her cry.

Nang mahimasmasan si Kara, I told her to talk to my brother first and clear things out. Kaya bumaba kami para hanapin si Red.

Pero hindi lang pala si Red ang makikita namin.

We saw them both, Red and Happy, at alam kong nasaktan si Kara sa nakita niya. And I think I am, too. I just stared at Happy. She looks hurt. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Siguro nasaktan siya dahil nalaman niyang hindi na siya mahal ng kapatid ko. Ang sakit, mahal pa rin ng babaeng mahal ko ang sarili kong kapatid >:(

"Red?"

"Kara, It's not what you think." Red tried to explain but Kara just walked away. He went after her at kumilos si Happy para sundan sila.

But I didn't let her. Pinigilan ko siya sa braso.

"Let him go Happy, masasaktan ka lang." masasaktan ka lang malaman na hindi wala ng pagasa ang nararamdaman mo para sa kapatid ko.

"Nasasaktan na ako ngayon pa lang. Let me go. I have to talk to Kara." I was hit by what she said. I let her go.

Hindi ko akalaing ganun niya pa rin kamahal si Red. I thought she loves me already. :-/

"I'm sorry." I said. Bakit hindi na lang ako ang mahalin niya? I thought asking her to be my girl would work. I was wrong.

"I'm sorry too." Hindi na ako nagsalita dahil umalis na siya.

Happy's POV

Ngayon ko na talaga napatunayan kung paano maglaro ang tadhana. Ang saklap lang na masyadong komplikado ang sitwasyon. Mahal ko si Iago pero mahal niya si Kara na karelasyon naman ng ex ko na iniisip ni Iago mahal ko pa. wtf. Ano ba bang pwedeng gawin? Malinaw na rin naman ang lahat. Pagod na rin ako sa pagiyak, nasaktan na ako eh.
