BROKEN WITHOUT YOU (UNNATURAL LOVE SERIES 1) - COMPLETED

22

Tuluyang umalis si Gab. Samantalang ako naman ay naiwan kasama ang mga kaibigan ko. Nanatili ako sa tabi ni Stan, pinagmamasdan ko siya habang mahimbing itong nagpapahinga.

Natalo ang HNU men's volleyball team kaya naman magkahalong pagaalala at lungkot ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin ito kay Stan dahil kagaya ko alam ko kung gaano niya pinapahalagahan ang bawat laro niya

"Ang tibay ni Stan." biglang sabi ni Angel sa gilid ko.

Sa sobrang tutok ko kay Stan ay hindi ko na namalayang tumabi ito sakin.

"I don't know what exactly happened mula nung umalis kami, but one thing is for sure. He really loves you more than I know."

"You know about it?"

"Not just me Mika. Even kuya knows about it."

Mas lalo akong nangunot ng noo dahil 'don. Even Bryan? How?

"Remember what I told you nung mga panahon na nililigawan ka ni kuya? Sabi ko, don't hold back and just go with the flow...unexpectedly you did at 'yon ang naging rason kung bakit hindi mo alam ang tungkol sa nararamdaman ni Stan sayo."

"You told me that...because you wanted me to be with your brother?"

Umiling naman ito at nanatiling na kay Stan ang paningin. "I told you that because I want you to make a decision. I never said that you must be with my brother. Hindi ko din sinabi ang tungkol sa nararamdaman ni Stan sayo dahil gusto kong ikaw mismo ang makaalam."

"Pero yung sinabi mo..."

"Dalawa silang nagbibigay ng motibo sayo at gusto kong ikaw mismo ang makakita 'non. I don't want to interfere with your feelings that's why I told you to go with the flow and...you chose my brother. That's the cue para hindi na ituloy pa ni Stan ang feelings niya for you." tinignan niya 'ko at nginitian. "You know them Mika. They don't break bro codes."

"Hindi ko alam na ganon na pala ang ibig sabihin ng mga kinikilos niya. I thought ginagawa niya lang 'yon because we're bestfriends."

Tumango naman ito. "Partly, yes. But he want something more than just a bestfriend Mika."

"I'm sorry."

"You don't have to and you should really not to." binalik niya ang paningin niya kay Stan. "Because when you say sorry it's kinda sounds like you made something bad and you should know that choosing my brother is not a mistake, so don't say sorry."

"Hindi naman 'yon ang ibig kong sabihin."

"But they might misinterpret you again, so better if you won't say it. Actually it's not really a good thing to say sorry kung inulit mo namang gawin 'yon."
