My Boyfriend's Brother

Chapter 12

Maggie's POV

"Ano yun?" Tanong ko, medyo kinakabahan kasi ang seryoso naman kasi nitong lalaking 'to!

"Ahh how could I say this" I heard he murmured. To be honest kinakabahan talaga ako na excited na ewan kung ano man yung sasabihin niya it seems important.

What if sasabihin niya na— gusto niya ako? Charot. Pinapangunahan mo na naman yung author Maggie!

" kasi Mags— dapat kumain ka ng cup noodles para di ka mag h-hang over" tupangina—

"Ano ba Azi, akala ko May importante kang sasabihin! Trip mo talaga ako noh?!" Kabadtrip tong lalaking 'to. Tawa na naman ang hinayupak.

He tap the Wooden chair infront of the sea and above it was the moon. It was shinning brightly and I look at Azi smiling shinning brightly as the moon. We were silent and amazed by the beautiful view.

"Azi, serious talk. Ano kayo ni Abby?" He drink his coffee and look into my eyes.

"Abby? She was my first love" ouch!

First love huh? It kinda hurt me, there was an ache inside my heart. I shouldn't feel this way but I couldn't controll my feelings.

"She WAS. But now, we're just friends. Tumagal kami ng 3 years since junior high school palang" he paused.

"Ang lalandi niyo naman bata palang" he chuckled and continue his story.

"Yes malandi na kung malandi. Niligawan ko siya nang halos 6 na buwan before I got her Yes. Syempre I was happy, who wouldn't. My brother for sure felt that way when you said yes right? So back in to my story. Abby is almost perfect, close to goddess. Imagine mo  nalang, it was funny proud na proud ako sakanya, top students from science class tas ako nasa regular class lang. Nasa regular ako kasi pasaway ako dati— well, hanggang ngayon din naman. I gave her everything that I could offer. Sinasamba ko siya, princess, I carry her like she's the most precious gem in the world. Pero alam mo yung masakit?" He stop for a while.

Sakit naman pakinggan nito. Parang may milyon-milyong na karayom na tumutusok sa puso ko. Ramdam ko, ramdam ko na minahal niya talaga si Abby.

"Kahit anong ingat mo, kahit na hinigpitan mo ng kapit kung kumuwala, kakawala talaga. That happened when I always invite her in our house way back then, para siya mag tutor saakin kahit alam ko na yung lesson. Matagal kami at tumagal kami but little did I know she was cheating on me, kulang pa pala ako. Kung may hindi mahanap saiyo sa iba talaga hahanapin. Gusto niya pala ang kapatid ko na si Izzy. Sa halos dalaw niya doon sa bahay namin hindi na pala ako ang dahilan, dahil sa pag-ibig nabulag ako akala ko close na bestfriend lang yung turingan nila hindi pala not until she broke up with me." Bakit nasasaktan ako? Nasasaktan ba ako dahil Abby cheated on Azi at sa boyfriend ko sya nainlove dati?

"Galit ako nun, nawala na yung pinagsamahan namin ng kapatid ko dahil sa babae. Nawala yung closeness namin and the reason I studied abroad tapos bumalik lang ako pag alis niya dito, we're just being civil. Pati na din kay Abby." He smiled at me

"Wag kang umiyak, ubosin mo na yang noodles mo hindi na mainit yan oh!" He said as he patting my head like a kitten.

"Hindi ako umiiyak" sabi ko.

"Ikaw, Bakit mo nagustuhan yung kapatid ko?" Tanong niya.

"Hmm... paano nga ba?" I said

"I was like nobody and invisible. He was the first person na nakapansin sakin, he became a friend until I first confessed my feelings for him and he said our feelings are mutual. And poof naging kami but patago nga lang. I don't even know bakit namin tinatago? Maybe for privacy and stuff? Kahit ayaw ko nang ganun, Tinanggap ko  nalang. We're dating in secret, mostly mga tao na nakakita samin sasabihin na friends lang kami like we used to. Tsaka lang kami sweet pag walang tao o di kaya sa condo niya. Hindi ko nga rin minsan ma ispelling yun, but I love him." I smiled at him.

"Mahal mo talaga ano ? Dapat yung mga tulad mo hindi sinisekreto yung relasyon!" Sabi naman nito.

Ewan ko rin, mahal ko siya pero nagsisimula na akong magkagusto kay Azi. Now I can't deny.

"Ang swerte ng kapatid ko, maraming nagmamahal diba?" Sabi nito.

"I've been on a relationship back there but nottoo serious call me jerk but laro lang yun para sakin." Sabi nito sakin

"Do you think it's fun playing others heart and feelings?" I asked him and that's the time na seryoso yung isasagot.

"No. But I can't help it, I've been hurt" Azi

"Do you want to hear something crazy Maggie?" He asked my and look directly into my eyes.

"I think I like you—I mean I love you" i look into his innocent eyes right now.

Gusto kung sumabog ngayon na! Gusto kong manuntok ng tao gusto kong tumalon sa saya ba o sa ibang dahilan?

"Ang swerte naman ng kapatid ko bakit naunahan niya ako saiyo. Lahat ng minamahal ko minahal din siya?" Ouch ha. That hurt i Could feel his pain.

Wala akong mapulot na salita dito and I remain silent here reaching for his hands.

"Pero mali Azi, maling-mali." Ngayon ay hinawakan niya ang dalawang kamay ko.

"Walang mali sa pagmamahal Maggie!" Sabi nito sakin.

"Meron. May boyfriend ako at kapatid mo yun."

"Alam ko pero wala akong magawa" sabi nito sakin

He move closer towards me and that made me froze. Is he gonna kiss me?

"Please be my Girlfriend Maggie, I can court you every single day."

"Gusto kita Azi! OO pero may boyfriend ako at mahal ko yun Azi" I want to make this stop before may masabi pa akong di dapat sabihin.

"Ok sorry. It's already 1am in the midnight na" he looked so down.

We travel silently and drop me at my house. I bid goodbye to him but before I open the car door.

"Final na ba talaga? Yung offer ko hanggang susunod na araw lang yung offer ko" Even though he's showing off that smirk that made him look hot ramdam ko yung bigatng damdamin niya and it's very frustrating!

"Azi" I leaned closer to him, press my head into him, putting my hands down for support and kiss him in the lips.

It was just a smack but enought to feel his  soft red lip against mine.

Dug-dug-dug-dug

Feeling ko kailangan ko ng doctor.
