CHAPTER 5

"MISS ARRIANE, is it true that that you're going to visit Philippines? We heard that you'll stay there for good."

Napatigil ako sa pagpunas ng basang buhok ko at itinutok ang mga mata sa flat screen T.V na nasa living room ng condo unit ko.

It's a not a live interview. Kahapon pa ang interview na iyon at ngayon lang pinalabas sa telebisyon.

Napatitig ako sa babaeng nakangiti sa telebisyon habang kausap ito ng isang reporter.

As the years passed, she's still the same. She always have that sweet and bright smile.

Ilang taon na nga ba? Ah, two years. It's been two years that I left her after what happened to us that night.

Dalawang taon na ang lumipas at ang gabing iyon ang hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan sa buong buhay ko. Dalawang taon na rin ang lumipas at naging kilala ang pangalan ng dalaga sa entertainment industry.

Naging sikat na modelo ito ng isang kilala at sikat na perfume brand sa Korea. Someone offered her to become a model and it's unexpected that she will became famous because of her beauty and her personality. Dagdagan pa na malakas talaga ang appeal nito.

There's no doubt that she's really a beauty. At the age of 15, I saw how she will become when she grow up.

Mabilis ang naging pagsikat nito hanggang sa naging miyembro ito ng isang kilalang girl band group sa Korea. She applied for it.

I know that it was her dream. Arriane is good in dancing and singing and being a member of a girl band group is really a dream come true to her.

Namayagpag ang pangalan nito sa Korea at maging dito sa Pilipinas ay kilala ito sa loob lamang ng dalawang taon. And besides, Arriane has a blood of a filipino kaya nakuha nito ang atensyon ng halos karamihang mga pilipino dito sa bansa.

Masaya ako na paunti-unti ay naaabot nito ang mga pangarap nito.

"You're twenty now." I murmured and sighed.

Naglakad ako patungo sa kusina at nagtimpla ng sarili kong kape at muli akong bumalik sa living room at muling itinutok ang mga mata sa telebisyon.

"Yes, I will visit Philippines one of these days. I miss my brother and you know, I haven't seen him for two years." She was smiling in front of the camera.

"You're single right, Miss Arriane? Do you have someone you like?" The reporter ask.

Napapailing na sumimsim ako ng kape mula sa tasang hawak ko.

"I have someone I like. Well, I like him since I was fifteen. He's actually in the Philippines and he's one of the reason why I want to go there. I want to marry him and I won't give up on him. I will be his wife no matter what. He took something important from me and he have to take responsibility on it. I haven't seen him for two years and two years is enough. He can't stay away from me that long. He have to face his future wife."

Napaubo ako sa narinig at mahinang napamura nang mapaso ako ng kapeng iniinom ko.

"Brat." I muttered and shook my head.

Hindi pa rin ito nagbabago. And here I thought that she already forget about me because she was busy for that two years. Ni hindi ito nag-abalang kulitin at tawagan ako katulad ng ginagawa nito noong nasa Korea ako.

Sa loob ng dalawang taon, buwan-buwan ay wala itong kaalam-alam na dalawa o tatlong beses akong nasa tabi nito, nagbabantay at nagmamasid kahit saan ito mapunta.
