I Love You... Idiot! [COMPLETED]

Chapter 54: The Idiots

[Sophia]

“H-hello ate Akantha?” I decided to answer the call.

“Why the hell did you bring a phone and ride a jet ski?” hinampas ko ang balikat ng katabi ko dahil sa ingay nito and motioned him to keep quite. And he rolled his eyes and sighed.

“Hi Pia, Is that Zed?”

Napangiwi na lang ako. Ano na lang ang sasabihin ni ate Akantha, alam niyang mag-on kami ng kapatid niya pero heto ako at kasama si Zed. Kasi naman itong lalaking ‘to sarap bigwasan.

“Y-Yes ate.”

I heard her sigh. Alam niya ba ang ginawang ito ni Scott? Is she mad at me? If she is, I deserve it, I deserve her anger.  Una, ako ang naging dahilan sa pagkawala ng lalaking pinakamamahal niya, tapos ngayon naman, ako ang dahilan kung bakit nasasaktan ang nag-iisang kapatid niya. And just thinking about him, makes my heart ache again. Just how much is he willing to sacrifice for me? Ganito ba talaga siya katindi magmahal? I really need to talk to him.

“I guess my baby brother had made his decision.”

I frowned. “W-what do you mean ate?”

Alam niya na gagawin ito ni Scott?

“Scott is actually a matured person when it comes to making decisions—more than I am, actually. He knows what will make you happy that’s why he did what he just did. He also knows that you are kind and you’ll choose his happiness more than yours, kaya siya na ang gumawa ng desisiyon para sayo.”

Di ko napigilang maluha sa sinabi ni Ate Akantha. I thought that I made the right decision, but I guess my resolve was not that strong that I made Scott do all of this. I thought I’m making him happy, but I’m actually making it hard for him. I thought I’m doing this for him, but I’m actually just doing it to protect myself. I’m so selfish.

“H-hey, what’s wrong?” tila nataranta naman si Zed pero di ko siya pinansin.

“I love the two boys and I also love you Pia. I won’t tell you whom to choose, you have to feel it in your heart. Be true to what you feel, ‘coz no one understands it except you. So, just live in a way that makes you happy.”

Napatakip ako ng bibig para pigilan ang pag-hagulhol. Ang babaw naman kasi ng luha ko. Masiyado akong iyakin. I took a deep breath before talking again.

“P-pero ate… I know I’m hurting him…” I said, trying hard not to let her know that I’m crying.

“I know, but I am sure that he was ready for it before he decided to let you go…” she said.

“Don’t worry about him, my brother is a strong man, he’ll survive.” She jokingly added when I didn’t say a word.

“Is it—” di ko naituloy ang sasabihin ko nang biglang agawin ni Zed ang cellphone mula sa’kin.

“Ate, this is Zed. What did you tell this girl that she suddenly started crying like an idiot?” Sabi nito na ikinalaki talaga ng mata ko.

“Zed! Akin na yan!” Agaw ko sa cellphone, pero di ko ito maagaw sa kanya.

“Yes, she’s crying. Snot is also dripping from her nose.” Sabi niya uli kay ate Akanta.

Bwiset na lalaking ‘to.  Ayaw ko ngang malaman ni Ate na umiiyak ako eh ibinuko naman ako. At sinabi pang natulo ang sipon ko kahit di naman totoo!

“Akin na sabi yan!”

“Oh. Okay… I’ll give the phone back to her.” Aniya, pagkatapos  ay iniabot sa akin ang cellphone.
