Y/N's POV

"Ate Tricia, tara na bumalik sa taas,"

After what happened, Jill tried persuading Tricia na bumalik sa taas kasama namin.

"Tricia will come with me," Miguel said.

"Hindi ikaw ang kausap," Ate Aiks answered. "Trish, come on,"

We all looked at Tricia na nakatayo lang sa gilid.

She didn't answer pero dahan dahan siyang nag lakad papunta sa kung nasaan si Miguel.

Wala na sana akong planong makialam sa kanilang magasawa, but I felt Jill held my arm.

When I looked at her, 'yong tingin niya sa akin ay parang nagmamakaawa na I should try to do something.

Cha on the other hand na katabi ni Jill ay nakita kong tumatango sa akin.

I took a deep breath at bago pa makarating si Tricia kay Miguel ay nagsalita na ako.

"Tricia,"

There, she stopped.

Miguel looked at me but I didn't bothered to look at him. Diretso lang ang titig ko kay Tricia.

I felt Jill rubbed my back.

"Don't.." I closed my eyes. "Don't go with him,"

Saying those words, lahat ng alaala ko nung gabing 'yon ay bumalik.

How she chose him over me.

And now, here I am. Never did I imagined na mapupunta ulit ako sa ganitong sitwasyon. Na magmamakaawa ulit akong huwag siyang umalis at sumama sa iba.

But this time, I'm not doing this for myself.

I'm doing this for her sisters, I saw how worried they are kay Tricia, lalo na si Jill.

Still, hindi sumagot si Tricia at nakatayo lang siya ron. Pabalik balik ang tingin sa akin at kay Miguel.

I looked at Jill and Ate Aiks, their eyes are so worried. 'Yong kay Jill ay nagsisimula nang magtubig.

"Just this one, Tricia," I said. "Stay and choose m—" she looked at me which made me stop. I gulped. "Choose your sisters,"

Tumitig siya sa akin at nilabanan ko naman 'yon kahit sa totoo lang, nanghihina ako.

Hindi ko alam kung dahil sa pag suntok ko sa gago na 'yon, o dahil.. nandito na naman ako sa sitwasyon na 'to.

I saw a tear escaped her eyes.

"I'm sorry," she said.

Doon pa lang, alam na namin ang sagot niya. Ramdam ko kung paanong nanghina si Jill at tuluyang pumatak ang mga luha niya.

"Trish, kahit para kay Mama na lang," Ate Aiks said, with her eyes full of hope.

Tricia continued walking towards Miguel who's offering his hand.

When Tricia was about to take it, I looked away.

"Kailangan ako ng asawa ko,"

Lahat kami ay hindi makasalita dahil sa naging desisyon ni Tricia.
