NAPATINGIN si Yvon sa kanyang mga damit na pilit inaalis ni Jessie mula sa kanyang maleta. She was packing her things. Naisip niya na kung mawawala siya sa paligid ni Zack ay matututuhan nitong mahalin ang kapatid. Just thinking of that charred her into a cinder. But that was the least thing she can do to make her twin stay.
Tahimik na tinupi niya ang nagulong damit at inilagay iyon sa maleta. But then Jess does the same and mess her things. Walang salitang kinuha niya ang nagkalat na damit at ibinalik iyon sa maleta.
“Aren’t you going to figth for him?” Padabog na singhal nito sa kanya. Halatang napipika na ito sa ginagawa niya. Jess sits on the bedside and look at her with disgrace. “How about your love Yvv? Ngayon ka pa ba susuko?”
She just remains silent and continues packing her clothes. She will just going to let Jessie nag at her. Mas maganda nang mapundi ang tenga niya dahil sa kakasermon nito na ipaglaban niya si Zack, sa halip na pagalitan siya nito at sisihin dahil sa mga nangyari.
Noong una ay inakala niyang magagalit sa kanya si Jessie. But her friend remains silent and simphatize with her grief. Kahit na ilang beses na siya nitong pinagsabihin na lumayo siya kay Zack ay nanatili parin itong nakasuporta sa kanyang mga piniling desisyon. Jessie was really a good friend.
Mananahimik na lang sana siya kung hindi lang ibinaligtad ni Jessie ang kanyang maleta dahilan upang magulo ang lahat ng kanyang gamit. She stares at her with her misty-eyed. Hindi siya galit dito, kundi sa kanyang sarili. Batid niyang nasasaktan 'din ito dahil sa kanyang ginagawa. Isa siyang sadista para panoorin ang sariling kamiserablihan.
“H-hindi ko ginusto ang lahat…” sa wakas ay nasabi niya. She tried to wipe her tears but she failed. Mayadong sugatan ang puso niya para maglabas ng katambak na luha. “All I want is to be on his arms… Ang maranasan kung gaano kasarap magmahal ito… I ranover when I found out that Zack loves me…” She cleared her throat and leaned on Jessie’s legs. Hinagod nito ang kanyang likuran at tahimik na nakinig sa kanya. “I know it was a lame excuse… I always wish that Zack would love me as a woman, b-but when he does, I just ranaway… I l-love them equally Jess. Isn’t too…much to ask them both?”
“You need to choose Yvv. And whoever you choose you will lose the other.”
She totally sobbed that time. All she feels inside her heart was pain. She know she have to select between the two. But no matter how she chooses her twin her heart continues telling her to fight her love for Zack.
How can cupid be happy when he was seeing people who are falling inlove? When the truth is falling into a wrong man hurts a lot.
“But Yvv… ito naman ang panahon para pagbigyan mo ang sarili mo? You love each other…”
Umalis siya mula sa pagkakasukob at umiiyak na hinarap ito. “L-love is a two diverged road Jess… the first one is your happiness for others pain… while the other is your pain for others happiness…”
“And you select the second one?” Jess hissed. She was not convince. “Yvv, everything is fair in love and war. Infact when it comes to happiness there is no right and wrong… All your life you did nothing but to please your twin… It’s your time to make yourself happy Yvv,” mariing wika nito.
She wiped away her tears. Suminghot siya at humawak sa kanyang naninikip na dibdib. She gently shooked her head. “I don’t need too many reasons to be happy Jess… Because as long as I know that he loves me and I love him… t-that is more than enough to me…” Humina na ang boses niya. Garalgal na iyon na halos hindi na lumabas sa kanyang labi.
“Yvv…”
“I love him Jess… I love him more than I love myself… But I love Lyvon too… Si Lyvon na lang ang natitirang pamilya ko Jess… If sacrificing everything even my own life and happiness, will make Vhon stay, then I’m willing to do it… Nakayanan kong mahalin si Zack sa malayuan Jess … But I can’t afford to lose another part of my family… I’m sorry…”
Tumahimik na lang si Jessie. She pulled her into his arms and let her cry. Alam niyang saksi ito sa kasiyahan niya sa tuwing kapiling niya si Zack at nakalulungkot isipin na saksi 'din ito sa kanyang kasawian.
Mula sa gilid ng pinto ng kanyang silid ay hindi nila napansin ang bulto ni Lyvon na tahimik na nakikinig sa kanila mula pa kanina. With a cold heart, Lyvon wondered what are the eyes filled with tears while watching the misery of her twin. Pinahid nito ang mga luha bago nito iniwanan ang kanyang kakambal na patuloy ang kasawian sa bisig ni Jessie.
