I'm in love with you,old man..(completed)☑️

13. a friend...

Juan Carlos (JC)

"Marco...Marco..." mahinang ungol niya. Ilang beses ko nang narinig ang pangalan ni Marco simula nang nawalan siya nang malay at magising. Hanggang sa nakatulog siya ulit ay ito pa rin ang hanap niya.

I feel pity for my baby sis. She doesn't deserve to feel this kind of pain.

I touch her face and she automatically open her eyes.

She hugged me right after she sobs.

Marco's leaving her behind makes her vulnerable. She's been so attached to him.

And I can't stand seeing her this way.

Her sobs turned to cries kahit pa hinaan niya ay hindi ito nakaligtas sa aking pandinig.

"H-he left me,kuya..I don't know if he will return to me.. I'm scared.."napahagulgol na siya nang tuluyan.

"Baby,sis... he'll be back in no time.." alo ko sa kaniya.

" What if he can't?..What if he won't return?.." Ang kaniyang mga mata ay naghahanap nang kasagutan.

Hindi na ako nagulat na ganitong sitwasyon ang daratnan ko sa pag alis ni Marco.

She's already in love with him.

And I know Marco loves her even more.

But he needs to settle everything in place, in order for him to stay with my sister and get married to her.

He already talk to me before he made a decision.

"I'm so sorry JC,that I had to leave her.. But God knows how much I love her and I don't want my family to hate her even more. I just needed sometime. I have to do this or else,I might loose her. I won't marry the girl,instead I'll be marrying your sister.."umiiyak siya sa aking harapan habang kausap ko siya nang harapan through video call.

And I understand his situation.

He will be facing his family's wrath in no time.

So he needed to decide.
This is for the both of them.

But seeing my sister so broken makes me blame Marco.

I just hold on to his promise that he'll come back to her.

Unti unti na siyang napatigil sa pag iyak when she saw Manang Fe went inside dala dala ang paborito niyang breakfast.

"I'd like you to eat now..Walang laman ang tiyan mo simula pa kagabi.."Sabi ko sa kaniya.

She just looked at me but I guess she's not planning on eating right now.

But when she saw the box Manang Fe was holding she got delighted.

"You should eat the soup first.." ayaw pa sana niyang kainin.

" Marco will get mad kapag nalaman niyang hindi ka kumakain.."dagdag ko pa and that earned me a simple nod from her.

She eat what Manang Fe brings and the garlic bread is just so tasty that I can't stop myself from getting one but she just snap it from me.

She even hugged the box like her life depends on it.

But when her eyes settled in the hot choco beside the box ay napangiwi Ito.

She even cover her nose para hindi Ito maamoy.

"Get this out,Manang.I don't like the smell of it. Just give me milk,please.." Sabi pa niya kahit may takip ang kaniyang ilong.

Nagkatinginan kami ni Manang Fe.
May kung ano siyang nais sabihin ngunit hinayaan ko na lamang.
