Miles Away (Circle Of Friends #1)

Chapter 6

"Ate... ?" Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinasabi ni Varheine. What the? Bakit niya 'ko tinatawag na ate? Do I even know him? Hindi nga, eh.

"Excuse me?" Sabi ko sabay daan na. Bago pa 'ko makababa ay niyakap niya 'ko. "What the? Get off me!" Is he taking a chance for granted? Then why would he?

"Ate Breanna ako po 'to si Bellsonne. Ate kamukhang kamukha mo pala si Mama." What the? I can't believe him.
"I can't believe you." I literally just can't. Bakit naman?

"Ate bakit Dyrrovy yung apelyido mo? Hinanap kita sa totoo mong last name. Kaya pala hindi kita mahanap, eh," He asked like he should care. He should not. He's out of it.

"Pinaampon na nga 'ko, 'di ba? Layuan mo 'ko, please!" I said like he had a disease that might transfer to me. Like he's gross. 'Di naman. Honestly.

"Ate, please," pagmamakaawa niya. No, please, no! Ayokong matunaw lang ng ganito 'yung pinangalagaan kong galit sa loob ng sampung taon!

"Umuwi ka na sainyo! 'Wag na 'wag mo na 'kong guguluhin!" Hindi ako Dela Viore. "Dyrrovy ako, okay?!" Maliwanag na sana 'yan sa 'yo! I'm never a Dela Viore and I won't ever be. Please.

"Ate," he still chose to talk to me. Hindi ba siya nakakaramdam? Ayoko sakaniya! Ayoko sa pamilya niya!

"I'm a Dyrrovy! I'm never a Dela Viore. I'm a Dyrrovy until. I die." Madidiin kong sabi. I want him to get my point, I want him to know that I'm already fumming mad. At gusto kong layuan niya 'ko, because I'm this furious, he should stay away from me.

"Ate, please. Si mama... Bago siya namatay, sinabi niya sakin na sa Laguna ka mahahanap, puntahan daw kita, ate." Namatay siya? Napatigil ako r'on bigla.

"See? Patay na 'yung biological mother ko kaya wala na 'kong babalikan. Let me go Bellsonne! Malaki ka na, 'di mo na 'ko kailangan," I said na labag sa loob ko. I knew this time na basag na ang galit ko. Ayoko sa kanila but I'm just too soft. I want to accept them again. Like, my family?  

"Please ate. I want to find ate Laine.  Please, ngayong nahanap na kita I want to find ate Laine." At napatigil na 'ko ro'n, dahil ako rin. Gusto ko rin. I want Laine back to me. Kapatid ko 'yon, alam kong galit sa'kin 'yon pero gusto kong nandito siya.

"I promise to find Laine, dadalhin ko sya sa'yo, ayos ba 'yon. Tigilan mo lang ako!" I will cry if hindi siya lumayo so even I'm ready to accept him, I want it like this.

"Ate... puntahan mo 'yung puntod ni mama." He said. Ang tangkad niya lang, but he's too soft.

Should I? I really think na hindi ko na 'yun dapat gawin. She didn't raised me, so I have no obligation pag dating sa ganito. But she's my mom right? She is.

"Kung pupuntahan ko ba siya... titigilan mo 'ko?" But I still responded this. Hoping that he might stop now. I want him to stop now. So bad.

"Hindi, ate. Just accept me. Hindi ka naman namin kukunin kaase wala na si mama. Daddy will not get you either. you're not a Dela Viore." I know that. Kadiri ang apelyidong 'yun, hindi ko gustong mapabilang do'n, 'no.

"Oh stop it Bellsonne! Mula pagkabata ay paulit ulit nang pinamukha sa'kin na hindi ako Dela Viore. Sa tingin mo ba makakalimutan ko?"I asked sarcastically. Umiiyak na pala 'ko, hindi ako nagtagumpay sa pag pipigil.

"Ate, sila daddy 'yon! Napilitan lang si mama! at bata pa 'ko n'on! will you please accept me?" He still begged. I am now scared that Jazzy might hear us, but it suddenly fade out when I realized that she has a clue already.

"No, Bellsonne! Anak ka ni Berdin at baka may masasama na naman kayong balak sakin!" I said with doubts.

What if he really want me as his sister? What if he is not like his father?
