Love from Within (A Jeron/Jeric Teng FanFic)

Chapter 20 ~ Confused

Ms. Manhid? Ako? Kelan pa? They knew it that he likes me but they didn’t warn me, I just have really great auxiliary friends.

“Ang haba ng hair mo, Madds. Yung mag brother napafall mo but remember pick one only. I knew it wouldn’t that easy to do that. Haleer! Mahirap manakit ng isang tao na napalapit na sayo. So, J or J?” she playfully told me but there’s a serious in her voice.

“You think na may ma-sa-sak-tan ako sa kanila?” I timid asked.

“Sobrang masasaktan correction lang. Kung pipili ka kasi diba? Hindi naman pwede na walang masaktan. Jeron and Jeric likes you. And the question is..  Do the boys know that they both like a same girl especially Jeron? Too complicated, right?” Bigla akong kinabahan sa sinabi ni Sam. Yes, do they know? Si Jeric alam niyang gusto ako ng brother niya, si Jeron din ba alam niya? I don’t want to say anything gusto ko lang makinig sa kanya. I don’t want anyone to get hurt because of me.

“The hardest part of this love triangle is..” she sighed and our eyes meet. “Magkapatid sila, Madds. And there’s a possible na magkasira sila..”

“because of me?” I finish her sentence and she gave me a nod as an answer.

“Wala naman akong pipiliin sa kanila because wala akong paki. Friendship lang maiibibigay ko, no more.” I almost choked while saying it.

“Sira! Sa akin ka pa magsisinungalin.” Hinampas naman ako ng mahina ni Sam and I questioned her.

“Friendship mo yang lelang mo! Alam ko may nagugustuhann ka na sa kanila but I’m not sure kung sino kasi parehas kang malapit eh. But still, I’m hoping that’s Jeron gets the three points while Jeric just two points haha!.” Sinabunutan ko naman ang bruha dahil sa mga pinagsasabi, nakuha pa kasing magbiro.

“Sige ipagpalagay natin na may gusto na din ako sa isa sa kanila pero mas pinili kong huwag pumili, what you think will happen?” I seriously ask.

“It’s just simple there will be no happy ending.. Luhaan kayo pare-pareho.” She answered. Tumayo naman na siya at naiwan akong nakanganga dito and absorbing her unwanted words. No ones’ wanted unhappy ending because we all love happy endings.

“If I were you I will choose one kasi ayokong maging malungkot and give-up easily my happiness. There’s a saying “Love is pain but it’s our happiness”. Piliin mo yung magpapasaya sayo kasi alam ko maiintindihan nila yun and mas gugustuhin ng nagmamahal ang nakikitang masaya ang minamahal.” Am I talking with DJ Cha-cha?

She has a point. Sinabi lang naman sa akin na gusto nila ako pero wala akong reply sa kanila and I’m not obligated to do anything that will make them happy. Hindi din ako ang magiging reason para magkasira sila kasi walang dahilan. Why am I thinking them, anyway? Kailangan ko pang tapusin ang project namin kesa sa magisip ng kung anu-ano.

“Dito muna tayo. Uwi muna ako, nagtext si yaya lasing na naman si Mommy eh.” Inayos niya ang mga gamit niya at nag re-touch ng kaunti.

“Thanks Sam. At least now maluwag na kasi may nasabihan ako.” I said and we hug each other.

“You’re always welcome, Madds.” She replied.

I’m grateful that I have Alex and Sam on my side now unlike my high school days, I have no friends except Totoy, he’s my best buddy nung bata pa ako pero hindi ko na alam kung ano na nangyari sa kanya nung umalis ako ng Pilipinas.  Ang nakakatawa nun hindi ko na maalala ang totoong pangalan ni Totoy, the truth is ako lang ang nagbinyag sa kanya ng ‘Totoy’. Hindi kasi ako ganun ka friendly when I came back here.
