My bro/husband?!

Chapter 17 -i'm free

Asha's POV

Nang malaman namin na nasa hospital si grandpa, agad kaming pumunta ni mama

"Nurse, Arthur Jin" sabi ni mama sa nurse

"Room 212 po" sabi nung nurse

Tumakbo agad kami ni mama sa room ni grandpa. pag pasok namin sa kwarto...

"Grandpa" sabi ko in a soft voice.

Nakahiga si grandpa at may nakalagay na oxygen sa kanya meron ding nakatusok na injection sa kamay nya

"Grandpa" sabi ko habang hinahawakan yung isang kamay ni grandpa na walang injection

"Iha" may humawak sa balikat ko at paglingon ko nakita ko si tita -mom ni ate louie- nakita ko rin sila Megan, Ira, ate Louie, dad of Megan and Ira also grandma sa likod ni tita, nakita ko rin si Nathan na papasok ng pinto. nagkatinginan lang kami saglit at tumingin ulit ako kay tita

"Ano po sabi ng doctor" sabi ko habang nangungulid na yung mga luha sa mata ko

"Grandpa is fine na naman daw" sabi saken ni tita sabay ngiti

"Buti naman po" sabi ko

"Anak..." tawag saken ni mommy

Lumapit ako sakanya at niyakap sya

"It's ok Asha. everything will be ok" sabi saken ni mommy

"Here" napatingin ako kay ate Louie at sa hawak nyang papel na binibigay nya saken

"What's this?" sabi ko nang makuha ko na yung papel

"Grandpa wrote that letter for you before he had his heart attack" sabi ni ate Louie

Binuksan ko yung papel. it's a letter. letter about the wedding

Asha i know you don't like my idea but i just want you to know that i really want him as your husband and as soon as possible before i die, i want you too to get married. I know you don't like my idea because he's you brother i mean not really brother but you two consider one another as a sibling and i can understand that. but i wish you to also can understand me, my idea. I'll be happy if you to will be together. But if you insist that you really don't want then i must understand that because i know you just want to be happy.

You don't need to sacrifice your happiness just for me Asha. You know that you're my favorite grandchild. If your not happy then we're also-Asha's family- not happy. we're here for you my grandchild. we we'll always support you on everything and anything. Just promise me one thing. before i die, promise me that you will take care of your cousins, grandma, mom, and of course Nathan. you know how much i treat her as a grandchild too so take care of him ok? always be his sister when he needs you ok?

Again, you don't need to do it just because i say so :) grandpa will always respect your decisions. be happy because you have the rights.

Nangmabasa ko yung letter ni grandpa saken. di ko namalayang umiiyak na pala ako

I'm so happy i don't need to marry my bro. Nathan. i dont need to ignore him anymore. i don't need to push him away. i will be just who i am and have fun again just like the old times.....with him.

I took a glance at Nathan and he was looking at me. i just smiled at him. the smile before when we're still the same. the smile of bothers and sister. the smile that's full of happiness and he smiled back.

Nathan's POV

I'm so shocked when she looked at me and gave me a smile. A smile i wanted to see since then. the smile she always give when we're still young. i know in my life that she is ignoring me because of the 'arranged marriage' thingy. as a best friend i can understand that because that's how i feel. well, sort of.

"Hey Nathan you're spacing out again" nag balik ako sa normal ng marinig ko si ate Louie na magsalita

"Uh. your saying?" i asked

"Sabi ko ayos ka lang ba? it seems you're thingking.......a lot"

"Yeah i'm great" i assured her

"Buti nalang ok na si grandpa" napatingin naman kay Megan na nasa gilid ko na pala

Bumuntong hininga si Ira "oo nga eh. buti naman"

"Uhm.... i'll just buy some foods para satin" sabi ni Auntie Lyne -mom ni ate Louie-

"Ako nalang po" i volunteered

"Ahh... sige iho" sabi nya sabay bigay saken ng listahan ng bibilhin "eto yung pera oh"

Papalabas na ako ng pinto nang biglang magsalita si.....Asha

"Samahan ko na po sya" sabi nya na tinunguan lang nila

Nakatingin lang ako sakanya then ayan nanaman, yung mga.........ngiting yan

"Don't give me that look" sabi nya then we laughed

Lakad lang kami ng lakad habang nag tatawanan. We talk about the past. childhood memories and so on. until makarating kami sa bibilhan. umorder na kami ng pag kain at nag lakad na ulit pabalik. nasa may hagdan kami naglalakad nang may makita kaming dalawang bata, isang babae at isang lalaki. they're fighting.

"Eeeeeh! gusto ko nang pink!" pag maktol nung batang babae

"Nooooo! i want blue!" Sabi naman nung batang lalaki

"No! pink!" depensa ng babae

"Blue!" sigaw naman nung lalaki

"Pink!!!" ulit nung babae

"Yes!" sabi nung lalaki na ikinalaki ng mata nung batang babae at makikita mong nagniningning

"Yes pink?!" exciting na tanong nung babae

"Yes!........yes na N.O! i prefer blue! mas maganda blue!" sabi naman nung lalake na ikinamaktol nung batang babae.

Napailing iling nalang kami ni Asha at natatawa sa nakikita. it's just like us -me and Asha back then- sana bata nalang ulit kami para laging masaya at di palaging may problema.

Umalis ba rin kami agad ni Asha kasi baka hinahanap na kami nila Tita at ayaw na naming mag eavesdropping. i'm not that type of guy.

A/N: KYAAAAA!!!!!! O to the M to the G! free na sila Asha at Nathan!!! they're back to normal!!! XD i'm so happy for them!
