Sierra

5 years passed

Matagal na panahon na ang lumipas at katuwang na siya sa kapatid niya sa pagpapalago nila ng kanilang negosyo.

They let their father retire and relax while she and Tres do the business job.

Their business bloom and it have a good reputation. She couldn't ask for more than anything in this passed few years.

"I guess I will propose to Jezie already" Tres said as he step back and tried to block his sword from her blow.

Napataas ang kilay niya kasabay ng malakas na kalansing ng dalawang espada.

"Are you sure? Cole would be very devastated!" sabi niya at humakbang ng dalawang beses to avoid his advanced.

"Tsss..that kid!" Tres was about to swung her sword but before he could defeat her she made a quick forward and turn her body aiming the tip of her sword to Tres neck.

Napahinto naman ang huli at umalsa ang gilid ng labi.

She chuckle.

"Not so fast dear brother" itnaas ni Tres ang dalawang kamay.

"Okay. You are good at this but still you are no match with me in my kick boxing" Tres said.

Well she admit that.

Naglakad siya sa gilid ng ring at pinulot ang towel nilang dalawa itinapon niya sa mukha ng kapatid na nakasunod lang sa kanya ang towel nito. But Tres os fast nasalo nito ang towel bago mag landing sa mukha nito.

"So when are you planning to propose to Jezie?" tanong niya.

"As soon as possible" Tres looks really happy and in love.

Well wala naman siyang masabi kay Jezie. That girl is pretty and smart. Girlfriend ng Kuya niya ang secretary nito.

"Okay" she said as she slowly descended on the ring.

"Tulungan mo akong mag isip ng romantic act" Tres said ng lingunin niya ito ay nakasampay ang dalawang kamay nito sa gilid ng ring.

"You can do it Kuya I am not a romantic person and besides you are in love people that are in love have a lot of corny things in their mind "you can do it!" if that's what you wanted to hear from me" she said at nagsimula ng maglakad.

"That was cold Sis" natatawang pahabol na sabi ni Tres.

She didn't answer.

Well she is just honest.

*********

As expected Cole was devastated and wreck.

Sinamahan niya ang kaibigan habang umiinom.

Two weeks ago when Tres propose Jezie on billboard on EDSA and she answered yes with that.

Sakay ng kotse ni Tres si Jezie ng dumaan sila sa billboard. Her brother let Jezie go out from the car ng mabasa nito ang billboard Jezie was laughing because they have the same name with the girl but when she turn to Tres ay naluluha na lamang siya bigla when she saw Tres was kneeling beside her with a diamond ring on a red box.

And the happiness of Jezie and Tres made Cole's life miserable to death.

"End game ko na ba Sierra? putang ina naman oh!" and she drunk the wine filled by the bartender.

"Enough lasing na lasing ka na" awat niya sa kaibigan.

Nahihilo na din naman siya dahil kanina pa sila inom ng inom.

Wala din lumalapit na mga lalak sa kanila maybe Cole made instruction to her body guards.

Kung titingnan ang mga elites nakikisalumuha lang din sila peru they are heavy guarded. Maliban na lang kung sila mismo ang magdismiss sa guards nila if they want privacy.

Not even once she saw the personal body guards of Cole peru alam niyang nasa paligid lamang ang mga ito nag mamanman.

"Look at me Sierra, I am not beautiful enough for Tres?" desperadang tanong nito.

"my brother just doesn't love you Cole soon you will get over with it" sabi niya sa kaibigan.

Nakita niya ang paglandas ng mga luha nito habang napasubsub sa dalawang palad.

"Fuck this life. Ginawa ko naman lahat eh! I did everything for him to love me but nothing happen I tried everything to forget him nothing fucking happened! Ano ba talaga ang gusto ng puso ko Sierra? It wanted me to get hurt until I get numb? I wish I am numb Sierra. How I wish" nasasaktan din siya dahil paulit ulit na ang eksenang ito sa kanila ni Cole.

"I'm sorry..." that's all her mouth could say.

Napansin din niya na di man sila linalapitan peru madalas silang sinusulyapan. The Line Arrow is a famous bar for elites.

Nang sinubukan ulet nitong uminom hinawakan na niya ito sa braso palabas sa Line Arrow.

"Where are we going?" takang tanong nito habang pilot binabalanse ang katawan.

Nicole dress is above the knee na hapi na hapit sa napakaseksi nitong katawan.

Guys are staring at the girl like a delicious dessert that the wanted to ravish.

Nasa labas na sila ng Line Arrow when Cole's eyes caught something that interest her.

"Are you sure about this?" medyo nag alangan pa siyang tanong sa kaibigan.

Cole smiled.

"Ten thousand percent sure" sabi nito.

"It looks painful" ngiwing sabi niya sa kaibigan.

"It will looks hot" determinadong sabi nito.

"Pwede naman di ka dyan magpa tattoo malapit sa dibdib mo" suggestion niya sa kaibigan.

But Cole just shrugged it off. Mabuti na lamang at babae ang tattoo artist.

"You can give it a try Sierra" Cole said nakita pa niya ang pagkagat ng pang ibabang labi nito.

"No thanks" irap niyang sabi sa kaibigan.

It looks painful.

********

Nagising siya kinabukasan na masakit ang ulo.

Napalingon siya sa pintuan ng marahas itong bumukas his dad furious face and his Kuya Tres blank expression came in.

"You better have a valid explanation with this young lady!" she shiver as his Dad cold voice filler in her room.

Binagak nito ang brown envelop at ilang papel sa kama ng damputin niya iyon at tingnan nanlaki ang mata niya sa nakita.

It was the annulled papers of her nd Silver Ortega.

"Dad, Kuya it was just a mistake an a hell out of this world coincidence that we became married peru naayos ko na this was five years ago" she nervously laugh.

"Five years ago Sierra you are out five months you are telling you are with Cole Rivas, so this means you are lying with us?" Tres expression is blank.

Sukol na siya.

Kaya tumango siya.

"I'm sorry..."
