AvionaMy system reminded me of my sister Cassy.
" You have a fiancée, Luke. Respeto naman" I firmly told him.
" I respected your sister, Aviona." He answered in reply.
" Why are we eve arguing like this, Luke" I commented. Napayuko ito bago muling nagsalita.
" I'm not happy, Avi. I was never happy since the day we broke up. After that, you were always in my mind. Ikaw ang dahilan ng lahat ng pagsisikap ko. How I hoped you were with me now, Aviona. It's you that I want to be with, not Cassy" He explained.
" Huwag mo ng paguluhin pa ang sitwasyon, Luke. Your life has been okay with Cassy. You will have a better future with her" Where did my reasoning out even come from?
" Kahit kailan, hindi ko pinangakuan ng kasal ang kapatid mo. She was the one who made it. She believed what she wanted to believe. I was never romantically involved with your sister, Aviona. Ikaw ang una at huling babae kinabaliwan ko ng ganito" He explained. Halos magulat ako sa pagtatapat niya. Impossible, I was the one who wrote about their engagement a few months ago. I cannot be mistaken. Tiwala ako sa mga nakalap kong impormasyon.
" That doesn't change the fact that you are the governor now Luke and that you are engaged to Cassandra Buenavista" I explained.
" Luke-"
Naputol ang sana'y aking sasabihin pa ng may kumuha ng atensyon ni Luke.
" Governor, you are needed inside" It was a man in his early 30s.
I breathed in.
" Do not hurt my sister's feelings, Luke." I breathed in
" We both know it will lead to that, Avi. Do not give your sister false hopes because I am not. Umpisa palang, alam na ng kapatid mo na hindi ko siya mahal" Those words from him struck me the most.
" Mahal ka ng kapatid ko Luke" I demanded.
" Stop playing the good sister act and start being true to yourself, Aviona. Kung mahal mo ako, ipaglaban mo naman ako. Dahil nasasaktan din ako tuwing binabalewala mo ang nararamdaman ko para sa 'yo" I can feel his anger and pain.
" Babe, I'll fetch you tonight. Dinner at my place" That's all he said before he left me. Ilang sandali akong nakatulala ng makaalis na siya.
After he left, I entered the restroom. Wala akong ginawa kundi ang tignan ang aking sarili sa salamin.
Gaano ba kahaba ang buhok ko para mahalin ako ng isang lalaking may malaking puso para sa kapwa?
Bitch you're not rapunzel. Feelingera ka lang talaga. Aayaw ayaw ka pa e mahal mo naman.
Ganon na lang ba iyon? Magiging makasarili ba ako at patunayan sa kaniya na mahal ko din siya? Malulunok ko ba ang lahat ng pangungutya ng mga tao sa akin. Na pumatol ang gonernador sa isang pokpok? Is that it?
Napapikit ako.
