Epilouge

The number you've dialled is currently not available. Please try a call later.

I've been calling Chaster many times but he refused to answer. Maybe I should give him time until tomorrow. He deserves it. He deserves to be alone.

Lucas' POV

I'm on my way home when I received a call from Chaster. It's his first time to call me at this hour. What does he need from me?

"What was it?"

[It's Luke. Come with us. Let's talk together.]

"Hah?"

[Just come here faster, brother.] he ordered.

I ended the call and drove all the way there. Naabutan ko sila sa isang place. Hindi ko alam kung anong tawag basta umiinom sila ng alak at nagki-kwentuhan. Si Chaster at Luke ang nandoon.

Inakay ako ni Luke at pinaupo. He's drunk. Andami na ring bukas na bote na nakakalat sa lamesa. Nakita ko si Chaster nang malapitan. I don't think Danny would be happy if she saw him like this.

"So my best brother is here." he said sarcastically and poured alcohol on my glass.

"I can't drink. I have a meeting for tomorrow."

"What are you, A child that is afraid to get drunk?" then he laughed with Luke. Nakasubsob na ang mukha ni Luke sa lamesa dahil sa kalasingan. Magkaharap kami ni Chaster at kakatungga niya lang ng alak.

"I proposed to Danny and know what she did?"  he started the topic. Hindi ko mapigilang magkuyom ng palad at ininom na lang ang alak sa lamesa.

"She refused." tumayo siya sa pagkakaupo at hinarap ako.

"You should be grateful." I replied.

"Lucas, Can't you just Give Danny back to me? Don't messed up her life again, you fcking moron!" binasag niya ang bote ng alak sa harap ko.

"She's always mine and you can't change that."

"That's the thing I can't understand!" umupo siya ulit sa upuan niya at ginulo ang sarili niyang buhok.

"Where were you these four damn years?" iritang sabi niya at pinukpok ang lamesa.

"Where the hell are you, huh?! Nasaan ka nung kailangan niya ng tulong mo? Nasaan ka nung may sakit siya? Nasaan ka habang tinutupad niya yung mga pangarap niya? Nasaan ka kapag umiiyak siya? Lucas, nandoon ako! Saksi ko lahat yon. And I still end up being the second best because of you." he drank another bottle and I can't utter a word.

"Bakit hindi mo nalang siya iparaya sa akin, hah? Why can't you do the same just like what I did before? She deserves nothing but best. I've been better but it's still you and you and you!" niluwagan niya ang necktie niya at tumungga ulit ng alak.

"Lucas, Hindi mo naman siya mahal gaya ng pagmamahal ko! You don't love her as much as I do!"

I drank another shot. I don't care about my appointments for tomorrow. It's Danny and anything else will be non-sense.

"Ayun ang alam niyo, eh. Nasaan ako nung mga panahong yun? Enjoying the breeze? Happy living? Peaceful life without Danny. Hell no!"

"I tried to moved on, Chaster. Swear, but everytime I tried it's just damn impossible. What the fck? Why the hell she ran away with my brother? Bakit niya ako iniwan? Bakit hindi ko siya mahagilap? Things like that! All I do is to chase, chase and chase and found out again that  Danny already left me!"
