"W-What?" Si Nick naman ang nagsalita.

"Anong ibig mong sabihin?" dugtong naman ni Steel.

"I hope you all understand me. It's my wife we are talking, I can't just leave her... I can't." I almost pleaded.

I saw the sympathy in their eyes.

Naramdaman ko na rin ang pangingilid ng luha sa gilid ng mga mata ko. But I wiped it immediately.

"K-Kuya..." I looked at my twin sister.

"Kuya... ang sarap sa pakiramdam na marinig ang mga salita niyan sayo." Francine always calls me by my name. Yes, we're twins pero ako ang unang nailabas, so she supposedly calls me kuya, but she won't. Matigas ang ulo.

Nakita ko ang pag iyak niya, she understands what's really happening right now.

Then I felt his warm hug. "K-Kuya Ream, pati ba naman ikaw? B-Bakit?" I let her cry on my shoulder.

"Because I love her, twinny." Yes, I used to call her twinny when we are alone, but right now... I want to call my one and only twin sister twinny like before, even though there are people who are watching us.

"Ang sakit... hindi ko na kaya kuya. B-Bakit kailangan mangyari sa atin 'to? Ako na lang mag-isa." I softly touch her hair.

"Don't be, you are still with our friends. There are always reasons to live. At hindi ka maiiwan mag-isa, you have Nick with you..." I shifted my eyes to Nick who's just silently watching us. "Yes, I am allowing you now. You are already a lady, you can be with the man you love. But always remember that you will always be my baby twinny." Kumalas na siya sa yakap namin at patuloy na pinapahid ang luha niyang hindi na matigil sa pag tulo.

"Himala ang haba ng nasabi mo..." she joked. Bahagya naman akong natawa sa sinabi niya.

Yeah, I always keep on myself all my thoughts. Nakakatamad kaya magsalita.

Lumapit ako sa dalawang kaibigan ko na simula una pa lang ay nakasama ko na.

I tapped Nick's shoulder. "I know a thing with you and my twin sister. I know I shouldn't tell you this because you will do it anyway, but I will still say it to you, take good care of my sister. Huwag na huwag mo siyang sasaktan, dahil kapag nangyari 'yon, kahit wala na ako, I will go to your dreams and I will punch you endlessly."

I saw Nick shaking his head but there's a small smile on his face. Noong una pa lang ay gusto ko na siya sa kambal ko, but it's not that easy... and I saw how he respect my decision about my sister.

"I will."

I shifted my eyes to Steel.

"Thank you, for making us happy always. At saka huwag mo rin sasaktan 'yang si Celestine..." I gazed at Celestine and we both exchanged smiles.

"Oo naman tol! Mas bhoxs mapagmahal 'to kaysa sa inyo ni Nick!" I laughed at the word he used.

"Celestine... habaan mo na lang pasensya mo sa kay Steel." I almost facepalm.

Tumawa rin si Celestine. "Ubos na ubos na nga pasensya ko diyan, sarap nga ingudngod yung mukha sa lupa."

"Grabe, wala ng lalaking pinaka pogi sa mundo, tsk tsk."

Napailing at natawa kaming lahat.

I looked at them all. They have a smile on their faces but their eyes says otherwise.

It's also hard for me... but what about my wife? Alam kong mas nasasaktan siya sa mga oras na ito.

"We don't have enough time, papunta na si Trixy kay Marco," ani Celestine.
