Matapos ang maladrama na nangyari. Hinila niya ako sa isang ice cream shop. Parehas pang mugto ang mga mata namin.
"So...." masyado na atang awkward yung namagitan sa amin.
When we escaped the crowd parehas pa kaming umiiyak. Who would actually believe na umiiyak pala ang isang Bryan Augustine?
"Bud." Napalingon naman ako saka bigla na namang nanubig ang mga mata ko. His back!
"Hmmm?" Bigla siyang tumayo. Nagulat pa ako ng makita ko siyang lumuhod sa harapan ko.
"I know that i have so many short comings but babawi ako. Bumabawi na ako." May hinugot siya sa bulsa niya.
He took out a black velvet box and open it. Tumambad sa akin ang isang simple ngunit makabuluhang singsing. Augustine's Heirloom.
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. Akmang ilalagay na niya ang singsing ng mapansin niya ang singsing ni Tyler. Kunot noo niya akong tiningnan.
"Who gave you this ring?" Naiinis na saad nito.
"Tyler." Anas ko. Nabigla pa ako ng tanggalin niya ang singsing at nilagay sa bulsa niya. Magrereklamo pa sana ako kaso sumimangot na siya sa akin. Inirapan ko lang siya.
When he slid the ring on my hands, he looked at me and smiled proudly. Kinunan niya pa ito ng litrato.
Then he sat on the bench and started playing with his phone. Nagulat nalang ako ng biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko.
Kinuha ko ito at binuksan. It was a notification from Instagram. Binuksan ko ito and the picture that was posted literally made my jaw drop.
Bryan_gusting mentioned you in a post.
The picture was taken just minutes ago. Picture yun ng kamay ko. The focus was on the ring kaya naging blurred Ang background sa likod.
Hey, angel_torres. Finally.
Kakapost palang niya pero grabe na ang mga feedback. May negative but mostly positive. Nakita ko pa ang comment ng pinsan niya. Nakapublic pa. It was like he was showing the world our relationship. Nakita ko naman sa baba ang comment ni Tyler.
Ty_reyes
Congratulations to the bith of you. Finally had the guts to tell her @Bryan_agusting
How much you love her, you idiot. And to you my angel. @angel_torres i hope that you're going to be happy. I love you.
Maraming nagreact sa comment ni Ty na iyon. Maya-maya ay nakita ko sa newsfeed ko ang pagmention ng pangalan ko sa isang balita.
It was the news today. Parang bombang sumabog ang litrato na iyon. May mga katanungan na kumakalat. Tulad ng, akala kk ba asawa ni Tyler si Angel? Fake news ba ang pagiging Mrs. Reyes niya? Did she and Tyler broke up?
Tiningnan ko ang kaharap ko. Now the trace of tears were gone. He looked like the Bryan that i know.
Nakatitig siya sa akin. Ganoon rin ako sa kanya. Naputol lang yun ng maramdaman kong nagvibrate ang cellphone ko. Tiningnan ko iyon only to see that Tyler was calling. Sinagot ko naman iyon.
"Hey."
"Hey, where are you? Kasama mo parin ba si Bry? I'm happy for you." Rinig ko sa background niya na maingay siya at may kumakanta.
"Where are you exactly, ty?"
Rinig ko pa ang mahina niyang tawa.
"I'm meeting someone. Uhmmm, just call me when you need something, okay?"
"Okay. Bye."
Nagpaalam na rin si Ty kaya naman ay pinatay ko na ang tawag. Sumalubong naman sa akin ang isang video. Binuksan ko ito at unang tumambad sa akin ang naging Director namin nung unang photo shoot namin ni Bryan na magkasama.
"So what can you say about the news that Angel Torres and Bryan Augustine are together?" Tanong nung reporter.
Ngumiti naman si Direct saka tumingin sa camera.
"Actually, the moment that Tyler announced that she was his wife. I was happy but now that officially i know that Bryan and Angel are in some kind of relationship, it's amazing. Kaya naman pala ay iba talaga ang chemistry nilang dalawa. Kaya for the both of you, always know that we support the both of you."
Malakas na napabuntong hininga naman ako dahilan para mapalingon sa akin si Bryan.
"You okay?" Tumango naman ako.
Masyadong awkward ang katahimikan namin.
Tumayo si Bryan saka naman pumunta sa counter maya-maya ay may dala na siyang icecream. Hinila niya ako saka hinawakan ang kamay ko saka lumabas.
Despite the cold weather, the warmth of bryan's hand intertwined with mine.
"Let's go somewhere special."
Nilakad lang namin ang pupuntahan namin. Marami pa kaming dinaanan. Lumusot kami sa isang eskinita hanggang maabot namin ang isang bahay.
Napatigil naman ako ng marealize kung kaninong bahay kami pumunta. Kuya.
Pinindot niya lang ang doorbell. Maya-maya ay may lumabas. She wore a long silk dress, mukhang may lakad siya.
"KUYAAAAA!" He quickly ran to Bry and hugged him. Kuya? May kapatid bang babae si Bry?
Bry hugged her back with the same intensity. After that the girl looked at me and smiled widely. Maya-maya ay niyakap niya rin ako.
"You must be Kuya's wife, Hi! You can call me Celestina. But i prefer Ceci." Tumango naman ako saka niyakap siya pabalik.
Hinila niya ako papasok and the moment we entered that house ay agad akong sinalubong ng dalawang pares ng mga mata.
"Kuya." The words came recklessly.
Tumingin ito sa akin and the coldness of his stare made my body shiver.
"Angel." Just one word from him ay natigalgal ako. Naramdaman ko naman ang panlalamig ng mga kamay ko.
He stood up and went near me at ng makalapit siya sa akin ay bigla niya akong hinila para yakapin. I felt my heart beat stop. Bigla nalang nanubig ang mga mata ko.
He caressed my hair and he cupped my cheeks.
"Why is my little baby crying?" Masuyong tanong ni kuya.
I wanted to answer but the tears kept on stoping me. So everytime i want to talk,i only end up chocking by mg own words. Mabilis naman akong niyakap ni kuya.
"Hey, stop crying. Please. Ngayon nga lang kita nakita and you're crying. Please stop, sunshine."
Umangat yung tingin ko sa kuya. Gone was the fierce look on his face. It was replaced with a genuine smile.
"H-how d-did you know, i-i was your s-sister?" Despite me crying ay nagawa ko paring magsalita.
He looked at me and then to Bryan. He smiled at bryan and then he looked at me again.
"Princess, i cannot really tell you the reason right now but there's someone who made this possible. Right now you might not understand. But all i can say is when time comes, you'll understand that he has his own reasons for doing all of the thing he did."
Kahit hindi ko madyadong naiintindihan ang mga pinagsasabi niya. Tumango nalang ako. Cause all i know niw is, i found my brother.
