Chrystian's POV

I flew back to the Philippines after the call. Finally after a month, I could see Thena again. Tyr is also with me alongside his brother. Of course, they would come. Gustong gusto namin siyang Makita ulit.

Nang makarating kami sa mansion, agad na hinanap ng mga mata ko si Thena. Alam kong hindi lang ako pero pati na rin ang mga kasama ko. Tumakbo ako sa dining room ng marinig kong may nag uusap doon.

Nakita ko ang lahat na masayang nagke kwentuhan kasama ang isang babae. Agad na lumapit si Tyr at yumakap sa babae pero hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ang sayang naramdaman ko kanina ay biglang nawala.

"I miss you so much, Thena. Where have you been?" Tanong ni Tyr sa yakap yakap niyang babae. Napatingin sa direksyon ko sila mommy at si grandpa.

"Chrystian. Welcome back apo! I've got some good news. Your cousins back!" Excited na saad ni grandpa.

Pagkalingon na pagkalingon ng babae sa direksyon ko, agad na namuo ang Galit sa puso ko. I watched how Tyr immediately removed his hands from the girl realizing something.

She's not Thena, She's not my cousin.

"Chrystian meet the real Athena Chrysta, your real cousin." Mommy said. The lady began running towards my direction and hugged me.

"Hello, kuya Chrystian. Miss na miss na kita." She said. Agad ko siyang tinulak. This can't be happening.  My hands formed into a fist.

"Bullshit!" I cursed na nagpatanga sa lahat ng taong nasa dining room. Agad na napa atras Ang babae na yumakap sa akin.

"Chrystian!" Sabay sabay nilang suway sa akin. Nakita ko kung paano nagbago ang mukha nilang lahat sa ginawa ko. I eyed the lady in front of me.

"So, she's the reason why you forgot about Thena?" I asked unbelievably.

"But she's your real cousin. You should treat her like how you treat Thena. Because she's the real Athena." My aunt argued.

"Tangina! Nawala lang si Thena ng isang buwan! Tapos papalitan niyo na agad siya?" I suppressed my anger that is about to explode any minute from now. How could they?

"Watch your mouth Chrystian!" Panakot ni grandpa sa akin. Agad akong tumalikod sa kanilang lahat.

"And where do you think you're going?" Pigil ni grandpa sa akin.

"Hahanapin ko si Thena. I can't believe na nawala lang siya ng isang buwan agad niyo na siyang pinalitan. How could you do that to her!" I shouted at them. Hindi nila ako masisisi. All my life Thena was there for me. She's been the cousin anyone would love and be blessed to have. She brought happiness to us and yet nawala lang siya may nakapalit agad.

"But I'm here kuya! I'm the real Thena." Agad akong humarap sa kanya. I eyed her from head to foot.

"I don't know what you told my family but you can never fool me. You will never be Thena. Hahanapin ko ang pinsan ko at Hindi Ikaw Yun. You can and will never replace her!" I shouted at her, I saw how tears formed in her eyes. Agad siyang lumapit kay Tyr na hindi makapaniwala sa nangyayari.

"Hey you said you missed me right? Are you the fiance Lolo is talking about?" She asked him. Uminit ang ulo ko.

"Fiance? What the fuck! My best friend would not even take a look at you. He's with me for the past month searching for Thena. He's inlove with my cousin and he's been loyal to her." I firmly said. Ang kapal ng apog niyang agawin lahat kay Thena.

"But he hugged me, kuya!" She sounded so childish and I freaking hate it.

"Hindi kita pinsan and kahit kailan Hindi kita ituturing na si Thena! Mamatay ka nalang!" I said that made everyon gasp. She immediately cried.
