Our Delayed Dreams (Dream Series #1)

Chapter 10

Chapter 10: step by step (2)

"Makipag-break ka kay Larae." My dad suddenly spoke out of the blue while we were eating dinner.

"Dad," I spoke.

"Break up with her or else loose all your dreams. I won't let you enroll at your flying school."

"Pero, bakit? May mali ba? Wala naman ah? Dad, tatlong taon na kami." Binaba ko ang kubyertos sa lamesa at pinunasan ang bibig ko.

"Wala akong pakielam sa taon, Axel. Makipag-break ka." He said with his serious tone.

Fuck this. Hanggang ngayon ito pa rin problema namin?!

I stood up from my chair, "I lost my appetite, excuse me." I walked away from the dining table.

"Axel, you'll regret your decisions if you continue this. You know that your brother loves Kila." I stopped to listen to what he said, but after he finished I walked away and went upstairs to my bedroom. He spitted bullshits.

Nakakagalit. Sobra. Tangina, no, Serian does not love Kila. Not at all, she was his first love but time passed already. Pinapaniwalaan ni daddy na dapat si Serian ang boyfriend ni Kila dahil siya ang unang na-in love kay Kila.

I wanted to scream. Gusto kong magalit, but I can't afford to loose my dreams. I was staring at a blank wall when someone knocked at my door.

"Bro," si Serian. "Bukas 'yan." Simple kong sambit.

"Sorry, wala akong lakas ng loob na sabihin kay dad na matagal na 'kong walang feelings para kay ate Kila." He started before seating beside my bed.

Bumuntong hininga muna ako bago nagsalita. "Damn, you're already fucking old enough," I massaged the bridge of my nose, frustrated because of his decisions. "That will destroy your relationship with your girl."

"I'm doing my best, kuya. Pero alam mo kayang gawin ni dad."

"Ee anong gagawin ko? Tangina I don't want to loose Kila, Serian. Alam mo 'yan. Pero dahil sa kaduwagan mong 'yan, ako pa ang kailangan mag sakripisyo." Nagagalit na 'ko, pero hindi ko siya sinisigawan. Hindi ko kaya at mas lalong hindi pwede. His heart's weak. Weaker than anyone else's.

"I also sacrificed, kuya. I broke off my relationship with her. Do you know how much it hurt here?" He pointed at his chest where his heart's placed. "It fucking hurt so much. It fucking hurt so much that I keep on telling this fucking heart to stop loving her already. Pero kuya, wala." Pain was so evident in his voice.

Naawa ako bigla, that's the biggest sacrifice he made, letting go of the person he loves the most. Me and my sister only knows about his relationship. Our parents won't approve it. But what hurt more is the fact that they'll only approve the girl if it was Kila.

Fucking shit. Only Kila. The woman I love, the woman I love so dearly. It was so hard to prove myself to my parents. Especially my dad, sobrang hirap. Tuwing gumigising ako, andiyan ang pangambang pwedeng mawala lahat sa 'kin. Lalo na si Kila.

"Kuya, please trust me. As much as I want to tell them, you know dad will act nuts. Kuya, I'm prisoned enough, just give me time. I'll fix this mess. But please continue loving ate Kila." He stood up and went towards the door and held the door knob and stood there for a moment.
