"Now, what? Why do you wanna come back in Taipei, huh?" Lai Guanlin asked as soon as we reached the nearby playground.


I sat on the swing while he took the other one beside me. "I just wanna go back. Because I'm Kaizer Isabelle."


"Drop that, Isabelle." Guanlin stood up. "I'm serious in here. Bakit biglaan? May nangyari ba?"



Should I tell him? But what am I gonna tell him anyways?



"You know what? Nasa iisang bahay tayo and even if you're my half sister, still you're my sibling and I love you. But these past few days, I don't get it kung bakit parang ang layo mo sakin, Kaizer. Why can't you share your thoughts with me?" Guanlin looked so desperate to reach me. Should I break the walls between us?


"You seemed problematic but you never said any single word. Kapatid kita, lagi kitang kasama pero parang wala lang ako sayo. I care for you but you never cared. Tell me. Minsan ba, itinuring mo akong tunay na kapatid kahit na magkaiba tayo ng nanay?"


I looked away. I don't know what to say.


I care for him, hindi lang halata.


I love him, kahit hindi kami magkapareho ng ina.


I always wanted to talk to him, hindi ko lang kayang i-express ang sarili ko sa iba.


"Can you atleast be honest to me, Isabelle?" his unfamiliar serious tone made me look at him and gulped. "I know na galit ka kay Mommy dahil sya ang dahilan kung bakit ka nawalan ng ina. Kaizer, pati ba sakin, galit ka?"
