Chapter 32: Jealous (Ian's POV)
Ian Recandego
"Nakita mo kamo ang mag-ina ko sa Baguio?" I asked Kent.
And that confirms everything. So nagsasabi nga talaga ng totoo si Panther. He's really not shitting me.
"Yes, bro. Nakita ko rin ang anak mo. He is like the younger version of you, minus the eyeglasses." Kent sat at the couch I have for my visitors inside my office.
Last year lang ay nagkaayos na kami ni Kent at mommy. Although Kent and I aren't that close yet. At ilag pa rin ako sa mommy namin. Halos hindi ko pa rin sila kinakausap, unless sobrang kailangan o kapag about sa business.
"Makikipagkita rin ako kay Thiearra mamayang 3 pm." He said. I looked at my watch, 10 am na.
"Then you shoud go now. You won't make it kapag nagtagal ka pa." I was so calm while saying it but deep inside, I'm annoyed.
Bakit kailangang makipagkita pa ng Kent na 'to kay Thiearra? May Shaina na siya. Masaya na siya kay Shaina, hindi ba? May pamilya na siya! Why would he still wants to meet with my Thiearra? Damn it!
"Oh, chill tayo, bro. It's not what you're thinking. Sa tingin mo pa lang kasi, parang susunugin mo na ako ng buhay eh. Huwag kang mag-alala. Iyong-iyo na si Thiearra. I'm already happy with my life. Walang malisya ang pakikipagkita ko. I just really want to catch up things with her."
"Catch-up? Bakit? Ano pang kailangang i-catch up? I thought you will go without malice?" Naiinis kong sabi. I wanted to break this half-brother of mine's face.
"Chill. Selos agad. Naging mainitin ata ang ulo mo? Where's the innocent and always calm Ian that I know? Kaya ka tinatakbuhan eh. Dahil hindi ka marunong makinig."
"What did you say?" Kinuwelyuhan ko siya. Inis na inis na talaga ako.
"Chill. Gusto ko lang talagang kumustahin si Thiearra. Magkaibigan din naman kami ah. May karapatan pa rin akong kumustahin siya."
"How can I relax? Knowing that you are her first love! Her ex-fiancé and you got her firsts! So many firsts! How can I relax? And he chose you over me before! So how can I relax, Kent?" Nanghihinang naupo muli ako sa swivel chair.
Aaminin kong natatakot talaga ako. And up until now, I still have insecurities issues, lalo na kapag kay Kent.
Thiearra chose him before, over me. Thiearra loves him so much before. Si Kent ang mundo ni Thiearra noon. Knowing those, how the fuck could I relax?
"Ian, please come to your senses and stop feeling jealous over anything, anyone. That won't do good. You are putting all the blame to Thiearra when in the first place, you are not doing anything para maayos kayo ni Thiearra!" I wanted to talk back but Kent got all the points so I remained silent.
"At alam nating dalawa kung bakit mas pinili ako ni Thiearra noon kahit na obvious namang mas mahal ka na niya nang mga panahong iyon." I looked away at him.
"Obvious? Ako? Mas mahal niya? Huh! Eh kahit nga nagmaakaawa na ako at halos lumuhod, pinili ka pa rin niya!"
"That's because she thought I'm the father of the baby! Hindi niya naman alam na ikaw! She thought she was doing the right thing by choosing me! Pero mas mahal ka niya, Ian! You know the reason why our marriage got annuled? Alam mo ba? Hindi 'di ba? Well, ikaw. Ikaw ang dahilan. Na-realize kasi ni Thiearra na mas mahal ka niya."
"Na-realize na mas mahal? O baka naman nalaman lang niyang ako ang ama ng dinadala niya noon. At hindi mo siya tinanggap kaya nakipaghiwalay ka!" Mas lalo akong nakaramdam ng galit dahil doon. I just realized that I am just an options.
