Chapter 6

I forced a smile and looked at him. "A-a d-dancing Jollibee, huh?"

"Hmm. I hope it can lessen your stress. You seemed problematic lately."

Hindi ako sumagot sa sinabi niya, sa halip ay pinili ko na lamang panoorin ang gumigiling na laruang Jollibee na nakapatong sa aming pagitan.

"Sana gan'on lang kadali maging masaya, ano?" I sighed and look at him for couple of seconds before closing my eyes and felt the flowing tears from my eyes.

"If love can only heal this pain, then I'm willing to love someone for the rest of my life but I know it can't because love is also the reason why I am feeling this kind of pain."

"Now I know why you rejected me. You don't want to be involved with someone while trying to pick up and fixing the broken pieces of your soul, right?" Tipid akong tumango bilang sagot.

Up until now, I can't accept that my sister is gone and I am blaming myself for what happened. If it wasn't me insisting to go to that party, she wouldn't experience that and go crazy and even think to kill herself.

"I-its my fault."

"Forgive yourself even if it is hard. Years or months passed after that tragedy in your life happens and by now you should learn the lesson it gives you along with the pain..." tears continue to flow from my eyes.

He held my chin, making me look at him. His other hand wiped my tears. Kung nasa ibang sitwasyon, malamang ay nararamdaman ko na naman ang mga paru-paro sa tiyan ko ngunit sa pagkakataong ito ay ang pagkirot ng puso ko ang nararamdaman ko.

"Come on, Alli, let's play with the other kids on the playground!" We're just 10 years old back then.

Many people says that we're really the same just like the usual twins. They say we're not just similar in terms of physical appearance but also in terms of characteristics, likes and other stuffs. But the truth is that we're really different, we're a total opposite of each other.

Allis prefers to socialize with some other kids while me? I prefer being inside the room infront of my books and my art materials. She prefers dancing while I prefer singing though we can do both. I love history and literature while she loves logics and experiments. I'm a vegetarian while she's opposite with mine.

"Allis, you know I don't want to," mahinang sabi ko sa kanya habang patuloy pa ding nagbabasa.

"Please, Alli," she said while making her puppy eyes look. "I thought you love me?"

"Yes, I do love you my dear sister but..." I sighed. "Fine, we'll go," I said while groaning, I really can't resist her.

Sa sobrang excited niya, hinila na agad niya ako papuntang kusina para magpaalam kay Mommy.

"Mom, we're going out! Diyan lang po kami sa playground." She said and Mom immediately nodded.

"You can go, my dear princesses. But be careful, okay?" She said while chopping the garlic.

"Yes po, thank you, Mommy, we're going now!"

Dumiretso kami sa garage at ipinaabot kay Manong Julio ang bike namin.

"Oh, saan ang punta niyong dalawa?" Tanong sa amin ni Manong Julio natapos maiabot sa amin ang bike pati na rin ang helmet.

"Diyan lang po sa playground, Manong." Masiglang sagot ni Allis.

"Nagpaalam naman ba kayo?" kuryosong tanong ni Manong.

"Opo, Manong." simpleng sagot ko. Nagpaalam at nagpasalamat muna kami Kay Manong Julio bago tuluyang nag-bike papuntang playground.
