[KEI P.O.V]

"Tingin mo ba tamang hinayaan ko si Vina?" Tanong ko kay Ryu na kasalukuyan ding nakatingin kay Vina na hirap na hirap sa pakikipagsiksikan.

"You always done the foolish decision right?" Sagot nya naman. Kahit kailan napakastraight forward talaga nitong si Ryu >3

Pero somehow, may point sya. Hinayaan ko si Vina na lumapit sa kapatid.

Akira Sy is my Little Brother, hindi paba halata? Pareho kaming SY!

Pero nakakatampo lang kasi kanya five letters ang pangalan tapos akin tatlo lang?! >...< Sobra naman kasing tamad ng parents namin na mag isip ng pangalan eh.

By the way, I knew I made a huge mistake. Dahil pagnakilala ni Aki si Vina. Mahihirapan si Vina. We Both will suffer.

Pero mukhang malayo namang mangyari yun eh. Masyadong maraming tao dito sa Event Center. Ni hindi nga makaalis si Vina sa pwesto nya kaya imposibleng makita sya ni Aki ng ganto kalayo. May posibilidad lang na makita sya kung makakarating sya sa unahan. But by the looks of it. It's impossible.

"ANDITO YUNG GIRLFRIEND NI AKIRA!" Nagulat kami ni Ryu nang sumigaw si Vina. Teka? Ano raw?! Girlfriend ni Aki?!

Pano naman nya nakilala ang Girlfriend ni Aki? Kung meron man?!

Biglang tinuro ni Vina yung babaeng nakaJacket, shades at cup. "AYUN SYA!"

Iyon? Yun ba ang girlfriend ni Aki? Pero parang may mali eh.

Kinabahang tumingin yung babae "W-what?!"

And that voice confirm my voice. Shit! Vina, What have you done?!

Tumakbo yung babae kasunod yung mga galit na galit na FanGirls.

"Is that Trixie?" Nakilala din pala ni Ryu yung babaeng nakaCup.

Trixie is my Cousin. Kauuwi lang nya kasabay ni Aki. She's a model sa Japan at kaya sya nandito ay dahil gusto nyang mapanood si Aki magperform since super busy sila pareho sa Japan. Wala silang time para suportahan anvmg isa't isa.

Until now na nagkaron ng 1month break si Trixie. Pero pauwi naman ng Pilipinas si Aki kaya sumabay na sya.

Hindi siguro nakilala ni Vina si Trixie.

Speaking of Vina. She's no where to found!

"Susundan ko si Trixie. Habulin mo si Vina. I saw her habang nakay Trixie ang atensyon nila, tumakbo sya sa unahan." Nagmamadaling sabi ni Ryu. Di nya na ako hinintay sumagot at nanakbo na agad sya.

Shit! Hindi ko naisip na maraming paraan si Vina. Specially kung sa Idol nyang si Aki.

Nakisiksik nadin ako sa mga tao dun. Kahit ipit na ipit na ko. Wala akong pakialam. Kelangan kong makuha si Vina, Bago sya makuha ng iba.

"Ehem..." I heard Aki. Nasa stage na sya.

Nagmamadali na ko pero shit lang! Parang di ako umaalis sa pwesto ko! Bakit ba ang daming tao?!

"Thank you for the warm welcome. I hope this simple song will worth your wait."

Pinilit ko nang isiksik sarili ko. Wala na kong paki kung sino mabangga ko. Babae man o Lalaki.

Natatanaw ko na si Vina. Nandun na nga sya sa pinakaunahan. A few more steps, maabot ko na sya.

Natigilan ako nang marinig ko ang tugtog.

That Song.. I knew that song...

---FlashBack

"Onii-Chan. I miss Rica." Kei is crying out loud.

He only knew that Rica and Mom is only having a vacation. Hindi namin sinabi ni Dad na naaksidente sila at patay na si Mommy. While Rica, well, she's now with her family.

"I miss her too." I said while caressing his hair.

I just got from the hospital. I been there for more than half of my life. Why? You'll know someday.

It just happend na after ng check up ko ay narinig namin ang boses ng parents ni Vina. Kinabahan ako. Parang may something dun sa Vina.

Iniwan ko si Dad sa counter, nagpaalam akong nagCcr lang. Pero sinundan ko yung nakita kong mag-asawa. And there, I saw Rica lying on the hospital bed. Peacefuly sleeping.

The couple keep on calling her Vina. I knew Rica is not her true name. Akira named her Rica after his name aKIRA. Rumbled Letters.

Then I tell it to Dad. He said that the police called him and tell him that his mother is already dead and Rica also.

But he doesn't mean that Literally dead. He means that Rica is not existing anymore but Vina Clarisse Tan is.

"I made a song for her Onii-chan." Aki raise a piece of paper and gave it to me.

Kinuha ko yun sa kamay nya. As I look at the paper, he started to tap his legs to make a beat.

Kinanta nya yun sakin habang binabasa ko ang lyrics. He thought that Rica's gone because she want to.

NOt knowing that she was forced to.

--End

So hindi pa pala nya nakakalimutan abg kantang yan. And to make it worst, kinakanta nya ngayon iyon sa harap ng babaeng naging dahilan sa pagbuo ng kanta.

I was stiffened when I saw Aki's reaction and where he is looking. It's too late to pull her back.

She already caught his attention. And As I see. He notice who is she.

Tumalikod na ako at Lumakad pabalik.

I look at them in a distance.

"Trixie is on her way home." Nandito na si Ryu.

Hindi ako sumagot. I was occupied with my thoughts.

"So. Now you know how careless you are with making foolish decisions." I look at him. He's also looking at the painful scene for me now.

I smile at him. "Letting a person discover where she will be happy is not foolishness Ryu. It is playing fair. Ayokong kalabanin ang tadhana. Instead, I'm preparing myself for whatever happends."

I saw him smirk. Then shrug.

"I am always here if she wants to run back."

Yakap ko si Vina ngayon. I am glad that I am still able to hug her even she already found her first Love.

I am able to be her home. But I will never be her world.
