Chapter 8

Truth or Truth??

Christina’s POV

This is getting on my nerves. NAKAKAINIS SIYA!!

“Even though I don’t like this nonsense, this is an opportunity for us siblings.. Correen and Christina to bond. But… just for a short time only. We all have class tomorrow.”

“Opo. Kuya.” Sabi ng lalaking to. When I looked at Correen… she’s blushing???.... I… I GET IT!!! She’s in love with this- I looked at him. He’s smiling at me… PUNK!!!

Of all the!!

“Okay let’s start… this is the first question. Kung bibigyan kayo ng pagkakataon na mabuhay bilang ibang tao. Sino yun at bakit??” Clarence

“I’m going to answer that question first.” It was Kuya. Wow, this is interesting… My idol is Kuya, other than Hayes and Dad. “I want to be Dad. I want to be born as Benedict Jacobs… he’s my idol in doing best. He has a family that I always wanted to have. Christina, Correen and Mom.”

I smiled at him.

“Wow the best pang question and answer lang Pau.” Clarence. EISHH!! Panira talaga tong lalaking to.

“And how about you Mister?” Tanong ko sa lalaking to.

“Why? Are you curious?”

“Ikaw na lang pala Hayes.” Tingin k okay Hayes.

“Hey… okay okay.” Sabi naman ng bwisit na to. “I want to be born as… ME! Naman gwapo, matalino, mayaman, hinahabol habol ng babae. Bakit ko pa gugustuhin na maging iba di ba?”

“Eh bakit naitanong mo pa yung tanong na yun??” Tanong ko sa kanya.

“Trip ko lang. May angal ka.” Tinignan ko siya ng masama.

“Ikaw naman Correen.” Tanong ko kay Correen. At yung lalaking to bigla na lang siyang tumahimik… and looked at me.

“I wanted to be you.”

“Huh??” There are silence in here right now. “Why me?? You’re better being you. Trust me.” Pero umiling siya. “You have a Dad… who will do anything for you. The Dad who’s best in everything that he did. Loves you. You are born in beautiful family Chris… unlike me…” I looked at Kuya. He’s looking at the floor right now. What’s happening here?? “I like your innocence Christina. The way you can make other people like you in just a blink of eye. And your carefree living Christina.” Then-

I laughed. “Thank you. I didn’t see that one coming. So it’s my turn??.. It’s true, I’ve been born lucky to have my Mom, your Mom, Dad, Kuya and you Correen. But… I always wanted to be somewhat…. ordinary. Not as a Jacobs. I don’t know why. Many sure thinks that it’s ridiculous but… I just want to enjoy my life and be what I want to be in the future… to be with the one I like… and spend the rest of my life to be with him.” Suddenly his image floats in my mind.

Paulo’s POV

They are taking it seriously. “Well that’s nice. So it’s your turn Hayes.”

“… I just wanted to be me. That’s all.”

Ang ikli. He doesn’t really want to talk.

“Okay, next question… Who do you want to marry in the future?” Tanong ko kay Hayes.I need to confirm something.

I noticed… everyone got tense… even this quiet and no emotion Hayes.

“Me, I wanted to marry a woman like my Mom.” I told them.
