CATALEYA
My heart is pounding against my chest. I really don’t know how will I begin to explain all of these to my now freaking sister without making her more upset.
I looked at her, still sobbing on the couch. It breaks my heart to see her like this. I did my best for her not to suffer even a tiny bit of problem and hurt.
Sweetheart, ano na ba ang gagawin ko sa iyo?
I sat on the couch right next to her, fidgeting and not knowing how to tell my sister all about Vaughn and I, as well as his real relationship with VAN. Nag-isip ako kung anong magandang paraan para i-approach siya at sabihin ang mga sikreto ko.
I think I should tell her where all of these started.
“Sweetheart, I need you to stop crying and start to listen to what I have to say. I think this is the right time for you to know about Vaughn.”, pasimula ako.
“You think?”, patuyang sagot naman ni Lily and Thank God, tumigil na rin siya sa pag-iyak.
“Lily, I’m really sorry about this. I want you to know na hindi ko intensyon na ilihim sa iyo ng ganito katagal ang mga bagay na ito. All these things regarding Vaughn are my most hidden secret. Only Ate Violette and I knew about these. And then, there is also the matter with VAN’s dad. There are many things I wanted to tell you and I wish you keep an open-mind.”, pakiusap ko sa kanya.
“Ate Vi knew about him? Why didn’t you tell me? Hindi ba ako katiwa-tiwala Ate Cathe?”, patampong tanong niya sa akin sabay patak na naman ng kanyang luha.
“No, it’s not that sweetheart! Masyado ka pang bata noon para bigyan kita ng problema.”, masuyong sagot ko sa kanya.
“But still, I deserve to know the truth, di ba ate?”
“Yes! Hindi na rin naman kasi sumagi sa isip kong magtatagpong muli ang landas namin ni Vaughn. Alam kong balang-araw ay magkikita rin kami pero I didn’t expect it to be this soon.”
“You mean to say talagang kilala mo si Mr. Finnel? On a personal basis?”
“Yeah! I met him when I went to France for my training. We were young, stupidly fell in love and got...”
“Got what?”, agad na tanong ni Lily na pumutol sa dapat kong sabihin.
“Excited much? Patapusin mo naman kasi ako.”, sagot ko sa kanya sabay irap.
“Sorry ate! Na-carried away lang ako. May idea na kasi ako sa sasabihin mo, base sa mga sinabi ni Mr. Finnel kanina. Sige, ipagpatuloy mo na.”, sagot niya sabay taas ng kanyang mga paa sa sofa at nag-Indian sit paharap sa akin.
“Well, as I was saying, we fell in love and we got... married!”
