XANDER

 

"How long kang ganyan? You are so nakakainis na Xander. Pitong years ka ng malungkot. I thought kapag bumalik na si Ate Van mo you will be happy na pero hindi pa rin! What is your problema ba?"

I looked at Hannah as she paces back and forth in my office. Kung hindi ko lang talaga kapatid ito, malamang binatukan ko na. ang labo niya kasing magsalita eh.

"You don't understand Han.." I sighed. After joining her in their photoshoot, naging mas malamig na ang pakikitungo ni Savannah sa akin. hindi na niya sinasagot ang mga tawag ko and texts. Hindi ko na nga rin siya nakikita.

"Enlighten me then Xander. Or should I talk to Ate Vannah na lang to know everything? Gosh, I miss her!!" she giggled. Agad siyang tumalon talon sa harap ko at nagsisisigaw. Hannahh loves Savannah so much. Close talaga silang dalawa bago pa man kami ikasal.

"Hoy, ikawng bata ka! Bakit si Vannie tinatawag mong ate, pero si Xander hindi mo man lang matawag na kuya?" Dad glared at Hannah. She just rolled her eyes at Dad and looked at me again.

"Seriously Dad? You're making me tanong why I don't call Xander kuya?" Dad nodded. Sinapok ako ni Hannah at saka siya tumakbo papunta kay Dad bago pa man ako makaganti.

"It's because he is a jerk." She said and anger played through her eyes. Napabuntong hininga naman ako.

"Hannah.." Dad warned her pero tinitigan niya ako. Here we go again! Hannah will retell our story and bring everything up.

"No, totoo naman ah! I know, mali yung ginawa ni Ate to pretend she is Sabina the bitch--"

"Hannah!!" I glared at her words. She just stuck her tongue out.

"Alam mo Kuya, ayan I called you Kuya na, your so tanga rin kasi. Ilang beses ko ng sinabi sa yo noon, it is Ate Vannah you are in love with pero what did you do? Si Sabina pa rin yung pinili mo. You were so afraid kasi that you might ruin your friendship with her kaya you made yourself believe na it is Sabina the bitc-- I mean, that si Sabina yung love mo. But what did you do? Si Sabina pa rin yung niligawan mo! If you are just brave enough to face your true feelings, sana hindi na kailangan magpanggap ni Ate noong kasal niyo, kasi siya naman dapat talaga. Pero no, you are duwag kasi."

 

She took her purse and started leaving. But she stopped on the door. Nanatili akong nakayuko. Nahihiya ako sa sinasabi niya. Nahihiya ako dahil pinapagalitan ako ng nakababatang kapatid ko.

 

"Alam mo, kung sa first pa lang, si Ate Vannah na yung pinili mo, sana hindi ka na aabot sa ganyang point. Hindi ka na sana nagmamakaawa that she will forgive you. Kasi ngayon Kuya, whatever you do, even if you kill yourself, magiging mahirap pa rin kay Ate to forgive you. You know why?"

She glared at me.

"Hannah, please. Enough!" I covered my face. Ayokong marinig. Ayokong marinig ang sasabihin ng kapatid ko.

 

"Because you chose Sabina instead of her, your own wife. Idagdag mo pang you killed you own child Kuya. Pinatay mo yung anak ninyo ni Ate."
