See you, Violet [Color Series #1]

EPILOGUE

"Let my sister choose what she wants."

Tumalon ako at hinagis ang bola papasok ng ring. Ngumiti ako ng pumasok 'yon at agad lumakad papunta sa damuhan kung saan nakaupo si Gray. Nasa open court kami ng village namin umaga ng sabado.

"Bro, wala pa akong ginagawa, I'm just planning to tell her what I really feel!"

Pabagsak akong umupo sa tabi niya at kinuha ang water bottle ko para inumin ng isang lagok.

"That's it! Huwag ka ng magbalak pa! My sister really like you, kung gusto ka talaga niya hindi mawawala 'yon kahit tumandan na siya. Kaya chill ka lang okay?Let her explore things first." Humiga siya sa damuhan at tumingin sa langit.

I scoffed because of what he said. Hindi ko maintindihan ang logic ng ungas na 'to. Kung hindi ko lang siya best friend at hindi ko lang mahal ang kapatid niya ay nakatikim na sa akin 'to.

"Paano ako makakasigurado na gusto niya ako? Ever since she grow up, she became untamed and aggressive. I can't read her."

"Gusto mo ba na matali ang kapatid ko sa'yo na bata palang at hindi alam ang buhay na hindi ka kasama? I want her to be independent, dude." Natawa nanaman siya.

Napakamot ako batok ko.

Tangina, hanggang kailan ako maghihintay?

Since we were  kids, I know that I love her sister, Violet. From the moment that I first laid my eyes on her, I know what I really feel kahit bata pa ako.

Her face...Her eyes...Her smile, even her frown makes me go crazy and I want to follow her always like a lovesick puppy.

That's why when the tragedy happened to us, I felt like my world stopped. I tried to protect her while we're locked up and kidnapped by a strange man.

"Mula ng makita ko kayong dalawa na magkasama sa lugar kung saan paboritong pinupuntahan ng pamilya ko..." the strange man laughed bitterly." Gusto ko na kayong kunin at gawin kong mga anak!"

Napapikit ako sa paraan ng pagtawa niya. Nakakatakot pero mas natatakot ako para kay Violet.

She cried non-stop. Kapag naiinis na sakanya ang lalaki dahil sa iyak niya ay nagmamaawa ako na huwag niyang saktan si Violet at sa halip ay ako ang binubugbog niya.

Tiniis kong lahat 'yon sa loob ng isang buwan. Sa loob ng isang buwan na walang ginawa ang lalaki kundi saktan ako at takutin kami ni Violet.

And it hunts me...

I was stabbed by that man when we tried to escape. Good thing our parents found us finally.

My parents decided that we will leave the country for my sake.

Because no matter how I've tried to forget the incident what happened to us hunts me every night.

I can still feel the punches and kicks that he gave me and even his strange smile but the most part that hunted me in my dreams was her cries over and over again.

Marami akong kinuhang sessions for a talk to a specialist. Nagtake 'rin ako ng maraming therapies.

But I can't control my self for not seeing her again. Every summer break I beg for my parents to let me go home to her...
