31 - Seoul

Veera's POV

"No. . . Kuya, hindi pwede. . ." That was all I could say after hearing his confession. Bigla siyang humiwalay ng yakap sa akin when he heared me.

"B-Bakit, Vee?" He asked me, his voice breaking once again. "Why? Boyfriend mo na ba si KD? Kayo na ba?"

I shook my head. "No, Kuya. B-But. . . I think I like him." I confessed.

Shock spread all over his face after hearing my confession.

"What?," Was all he could ask. "Vee, are you serious? Kailan pa?"

"I don't really know when I started liking him. But I just acknowledged my feelings nung nasa Laguna kami." Pag-amin ko pa.

His eyes widened. "Vee. . . I-I knew it. That's his plan."

"What are you saying?" Naguguluhang tanong ko.

"Vee, lahat ng ginagawa niya, it's his plan to make you fall for him so that he can use y—"

Pinutol ko na ang sasabihin niya before he could even end it. Parang alam ko naman na kasi kung saan na naman mapupunta 'to and I'm not liking it.

"There you are again, Kuya! Ano?! Sasabihin mo na naman na gagamitin niya ako?" I can't stop myself from raising my voice dahil sa inis. "Ilang beses ko ba sasabihin sa'yo, Kuya?! He's not like that! Hindi ganon si KD, Kuya!"

"How can you say so, Vee? Gaano mo na ba siya kakilala?" He countered, his voice raising too. "Let me just remind you, Vee. You are the daughter of one of the most famous chef and businessman here in the Philippines. Kaya maraming naghahabol sa'yo, Vee."

Hindi ako nakapagasalita agad. I don't see it like that. I never saw it like that. Alam kong kilala ang mga parents ko in their own respective fields pero hindi ko naman naramdaman na mas angat kami compared to other people. Our parents never raised us that way.

And I never thought na kay Kuya Vince pa manggagaling lahat 'to. Hindi ganon ang pagkakakilala ko sa kanya.

"He doesn't deserve you, Vee. . ."

That's it!

"And who deserves me, huh? You?"

Pain suddenly came across his face. Tears are starting to fall from his eyes.

"Vee. . . Pero, Vee, mahal kita. . ." He said with a hoarse voice.

It pains me to see him like this. Ayokong makita siyang ganito.

Naramdaman ko na ring tumulo ang luha ko.

"That's the problem, Kuya. Masyado mo akong mahal. . ." I avoided his gaze when I saw that more tears fell from his eyes. "Masyado mo akong mahal to the point that you keep on thinking na parang ikaw lang ang deserve ko."

"Vee, no, hindi 'yon ganon." He said and enveloped me in his arms. Hinayaan ko lang siya. "I love you so damn much. Hindi ko lang talaga kayang isipin na may mamahalin kang iba."

Ramdam ko na nababasa na ang taas ng ulo ko dahil sa mga luha niya pero he really needs to hear all the things na sasabihin ko sa kanya.

"And that is wrong, Kuya. Kasi in the first place, hindi naman tayo. Hindi naman naging tayo and I believe that we will never be."

Humiwalay siya ng yakap sa akin. He cupped my face and looked directly into my eyes.

"Bakit naman, Vee? Hindi ba talaga pwede? Wala ba talagang chance?" Tanong niya, trying his best to make his voice steady. "Please give me a chance. I'll court you, I'll do whatever you want. Just please give me a chance. I'll show you kung gaano kita kamahal, Vee. I promise."
