When the Matchmaker Falls

Chapter 19-- the Kuya.

JARED's POV

"Allyson wait!" -sigaw ni Archie sa palayong si Ally.

But I blocked her way. 

"Kuya Jared? Nakita mo ba yun?"

"Yeah."

"Ah, excuse me muna ah. Si Ally kasi."

"Pabayaan mo sya." I said coldly

"Huh?!" 

"I said, pabayaan mo muna sya."

"Pabayaan? Naririnig mo ba sarili mo? You know how miserable she is right now. Tapos pabayaan?!" naiiritang sagot ni Archie

"Kaya nya yan mag isa."

"Kaya mag isa? Look, she's in pain right now. She need a friend. She need us. Please excuse."

So yun. Pinadaan ko na sya. Ang kulit kasi eh.

"Kung ikaw, kaya mong nakikita na ganun si Allyson. Well me, hindi."

then tumakbo na sya.

Di nalang kasi sumunod. -___-

Akala nya siguro okay lang sakin na ganun si Allyson. Well, definitely NO. Ayokong makita syang ganun.

Actually, nakita ko lahat. Nauna talaga dun sa garden si Ally. But nung narinig nya na may boses na paparating at nag aargue. Nagtago agad sya. I know alam nyang sila Cleo at Janennie yun. Nasa second floor kasi ako ng hagdan ng fire exit katabi ng garden kaya kitang kita ko yung drama sa baba. And since tahimik, rinig na rinig ko lahat. 

When I saw Ally there. Gusto ko na syang hatakin paalis sa scene na yun. Kasi ang tanga nya para panoorin yung ex-bestfriends nyang nagrereconcile as lovers. Naisip kong sinasaktan lang nya yung sarili nya. But with that thought. Napangiti ako. Why? Coz I know she's strong enough to see these things na maaari pa nya makita sa susunod pang mga araw kasi nga makakasama na nya yung dalawa ulit dito. Hindi na sya tumakbo tulad ng dati. Ni hindi nga sya umiyak eh. Oo there's pain in her eyes pero feeling ko kaya na nya. I'm so proud of her. ^___^

Ang hirap ko intindihin siguro kasi nagpromise ako na everytime she need us. Especially me. Nandito lang ako para tulungan sya. Pero anong ginagawa ko ngayon? Pinapabayaan ko lang sya. Nah. It's for her. She need to endure the pain. Paano pag wala kami? Ayokong maging dependent sya samin but that doesnt mean na she can't rely on us. I'm always here for her. But this time, para isang bagsakan nalang yung sakit na mararamdaman nya. Para masanay sya sa mga makikita pa nya. I want her to be strong. To face her fears na isang taon nyang tinakbuhan. Isang taon nyang tinaguan, iniwasan at iniwanan. 

One more thing, kaya ayaw ko narin sundan pa ni Archie si Ally 'cause masasaktan lang si Archie. I know Ally will just drive her away. Remember the night we visit her? She promise us that we won't see her cry again. Kahit alam kong ibbreak lang nya yung promise na yun pumayag ako at inencourage ko pa sya.

Just like before, ayaw nyang makita namin na nasasaktan na pala sya. Sinasarili nya lahat. Ayaw nya na kinakaawaan sya. Basta. Ayaw nyang ipakita sa ibang tao na weak sya. She's lively outside but dying inside.

Baka nagtataka din kayo kung bakit ako nandito? Transferee din ako. Just like Archie's reason. I'm here for Allyson. Allyson is very important to us. Sya kasi yung taong dapat i'keep. I don't know but there is something in her na mahirap pakawalan basta basta. Sinayang ko na yung isang taon na wala sya. I mean, diba? Nawala nalang sya bigla. And I didn't find time to find her. To visit her. Kaya babawi ako.

I'm here for a reason. To bring the old Allyson back. 

Back to her original self.

And also,

I'm here to save her.

To save her from pain that she might encounter very soon.

Remember, I'm the kuya here.

I cannot and will not allow my baby sisters to be hurt.

I already experienced pain. I don't want them to feel what I felt. 

As much as I can, I will never let that happen.

No. Never.
