"Who is this?" tanong ko ulit doon sa nasa kabilang linya
"Yvon, it's me, your Kuya Karl Joshua! Ang pinaka pogi na bestfriend ng ate niyo" sabi ulit nung lalaking nasa kabilang linya
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" tuwang tuwang sigaw ko sabay sipa dito sa lalaking nasa tabi ko
"Shi*t! What the hell is wrong with you?" naiinis na tanong nitong nasa tabi ko pero di ko siya pinansin
"Why did you call?" tanong ko kay Kuya Joshua
"I've heard from Mamu that Ysabel moved there" sabi niya tapos tumango lang ako
"Yes! Our parents have decided to do that for her own good" sagot ko naman sa kanya
"That's great because she can meet lots of people there and find her way to overcome her own fears" sagot naman niya kaya ngumiti lang ako
"But why did you call?" tanong ko
"I want to ask a favor" seryosong sabi niya sakin mula sa kabilang linya
"Favor? What favor?" nagtatakang tanong ko naman sa kanya kaya naman siya tumawa
"Ano nga?!" naiinis na tanong ko
"This might sound childish, but I want to ask for your help! I want you to find out if your sister is still angry at me" sabi niya kaya ako napa ngiti
"You're so weird" sabi naman nitong nasa tabi ko ng makita niyang naka ngiti akong mag isa kaya binato ko nalang ulit siya ng unan
"Mapanakit ka talagang tao ka" naiinis na sabi niya sakin kaya inirapan ko lang siya
"It's been a year since the last time I spoke to her! I tried to get in touch with her after that day, but she didn't answer my calls. Today I want to ask for your help in deciding if I can talk to her or not because maybe she's still angry at me and she still doesn't want to talk to me" seryosong sabi ni Kuya Joshua mula sa kanilang linya tapos bigla namang bumukas yung pinto ng kwarto ni Ate Ysabel tsaka siya lumabas mula sa kwarto niya
"I will try my best to help you" sagot ko nalang
"Sino kausap mo Yvon?" curious na tanong ni Ate Ysa habang naglalakad siya pababa ng hagdan
"Is that her?" tanong naman ni Kuya Joshua
"Yes! Do you want to talk to her?" tanong ko naman sa kanya
"Next time nalang siguro! Okay na sakin kahit marinig ko lang yung boses niya lang dahil sa matagal ko na ring di narinig yung boses niya" sagot niya sakin
"Okay!" sagot ko nalang at sakto namang dumating si Ate Ysabel dito sa may living area
"Who is that?" tanong naman ni Ate kay Yvan at nagkibit balikat lang itong nasa tabi ko since hindi rin naman niya kilala kung sino yung kausap ko
Tapos umupo naman si Ate Ysabel sa may sofa na nasa may nasa tapat namin ni Yvan.
"I don't know who she's talking to since she didn't mention any names, but maybe it's her boyfriend" sarcastic na sbai ni Yvan kay Ate Ysabel
"I will talk to her once you find out if she's still mad or not" sabi naman nitong nasa kabilang linya kaya naman napa hawak nalang ako sa batok dahil sa nastress ako dito sa kausap ko ngayon, kung gusto niyang magka ayos sila ni Ate Ysabel idi dapat ito na yung chance niya kaso masyado siyang duwag.
"Kailangan ko ng ibaba itong tawag kasi may pasok pa ako! Tatawag nalang ulit ako next time" sabi ulit ni Kuya Joshua
"Okay! Goodbye!" sabi ko nalang sa kanya
"Goodbye!" sabi naman niya tsaka ko na ibinaba yung telepono
Pag baba ko nung telepono ay agad namang tumingin sakin itong dalawang kasama ko.
"Who is that?" curious na tanong ni Ate sakin kaya pilit nalang akong ngumiti
"Just a friend!" pag sisinungaling ko nalang tapos tumango nalang siya baka kasi mamaya magalit pa siya sakin kapag nalaman niyang sinagot ko tawag ni Kuya Joshua
Well, Kuya Joshua is the childhood friend known to be the best friend of Ate Ysabel since she was 7 years old, and I think that's when Ate moved to Cavite.
Ate Ysa doesn't really want to talk to him because she's angry at him. What made Ate Ysabel angry was because Kuya Joshua went to London secretly, without saying a word or a simple goodbye. He lives in London now with his family.
It's been a year since Kuya Joshua moved there, and until now, my sister hasn't talked to him. As far as I know, my sister blocked him on all of her social media accounts and even on her phone so that he couldn't contact her. She cut him off for good because of what he did. She refuses to answer his calls on the telephone, and she gets angry when someone accidentally answers the phone and tries to talk to him. Because of that, Kuya Joshua stopped contacting her, but not until today.
"Ate Ysa, can I ask something?" tanong ko sa kanya tapos tumango siya
"What is it?" curious na tanong naman niya
"Are you still?" kinakabahang tanong ko sa kanya
"I'm still what?" nagtatakang tanong niya habang naka titig sakin at pati rin si Yvan naka tingin sakin ng sobrang seryoso since curious rin siya sa kung ano yung sasabihin ko
"Nevermind" sabi ko nalang sabay tayo papunta sa may garden
Curious tuloy ako kung galit pa rin ba si Ate sa kanya. Matagal na rin nung tumigil si Kuya Joshua sa pangungulit sa kanya dahil baka pag mas lalo lang magagalit si Ate kapag pinagtuloy tuloy niya yung pangungulit sa kanya at baka na-iistorbo na niya si Ate at maging dahilan pa kaya mas lalong niyang ayaw kausapin ito.
My sister treasures him so much, but she felt betrayed because of what he did to her.
Yung parang gumuho yung buong mundo ng kapatid namin kasi sa hindi man lang ipinaalam ni Kuya Joshua na aalis siya. Pero ang reason naman daw ni Kuya Joshua kaya hindi niya ipinialam kay Ate ay dahil ayaw niyang makita yung magiging reaction niya kapag nalaman niya yung totoo at lalo na nung aalis siya. Baka daw kasi mag bago yung isip ni Kuya Joshua kapag nakita niya yung magiging reaction ni Ate kaya mas minabuti nyang itago nalang.
