Len’s POV

it’s been a month and a half since umalis sila Jay at Yuri..

nalaman ko lang kay Keith na umalis sila the day after Don proposed to me

I didn’t even get the chance to see Jay before he left

not even a single glance, and I regretted that

the next morning I wake up, I realized four things..

first, I was stupid for insisting to get married as soon as possible

second, I shouldn’t have said things when I’m not in my self

third, the fourth and last reason is the reason why I cried too much last night

and lastly, I’m in love with my best friend..

I love Jay yet I can’t back out on  my wedding with Don..

Flash back

[haha, namiss ko yang flash back thingy na yan.. lol, sa MoT kasi lagi kong ginagamit yan xD]

*tok tok*

narinig kong bumukas yung pinto ng kwarto ko kaya idinilat ko mata ko

nakatulugan ko pala kagabi ang pagiyak ko

ramdam kong namamaga mata ko, ang hirap kasi idilat

pagtingin ko sa pinto nakita ko si papa

“good morning sweetie” bati nya saken, kung nasa mood lang ako malamang ang sagot ko ‘yuck, whatever papa’ pero instead of saying that, I ended up with..

“morning po papa” tapos bumangon ako

“let‘s talk” sabi nya saken tapos umupo sya sa sofa

“ano po yun pa?” tanong ko nung nakaupo na kaming pareho

“your mom and I talked last night” umpisa ni papa

I don’t have the strength to say anything, and I’m not in the mood to do anything either

“we now understand why you want to get married as soon as possible, your mother and I was at the same age as you when we realized that we were both madly in love with each other” damn, nag reminisce pa >.<

“that‘s why we both agreed on what you want, but it will not happen next month, it will be a month after your birthday, okay? but if you want even after a couple of weeks after your birthday, it may be.. so it’s more or less three months from now, you better get ready. we also talked with Don‘s parents and they are happy as well, they also agreed to the arrangement, they will be back here a week before the wedding.. okay? I hope your not mad at us anymore, dear”

nashock ako, ano ba tong ginawa kong katangahan?!

“pa.. I--”

“and of course as our wedding gift we will pay for all the expenses” sabi ni papa tapos kiniss nya ako sa noo

“I‘ll go ahead now” sabi pa nya tapos tumayo na

“be happy Charlynn, I hope your decision is right” sabi nya tapos umalis na ng kwarto ko

gusto kong habulin si papa at sabihin na ayoko nang magpakasal..

but reality struck me again, sabi ni Jay sasamahan nya si Yuri sa Korea

that must mean mahal nya si Yuri para samahan nya sya sa Korea, and I? am just a best friend to him =_=

days passed.. I tried to talk to Don about the wedding too

pero lagi kong pinapalampas ang pagkakataon, hindi ko kaya

since nag propose sya saken, he became more sweet

halos hindi na nya ako iniiwan, he’s always there when I need him

even if I don’t, he’s still there

parang pinupunan nya yung tatlong taon na nawala sya sa tabi ko

I can’t break his heart.. not like this..

cause I know how damn it feels.. =_=

it’s also been a month and a half since I last saw Jay’s face

that was when he was sleeping at the sofa in my room

I miss him.. badly miss him.. >.<

Yuri’s birthday was a month ago, naalala ko nung ininvite nya ako after graduation ceremony

hindi ko alam kung dun na sila nag celebrate or did they even celebrated at all.. 

hindi kasi sila nagpaparamdam, parang nung umalis sila kinalimutan na din nila kami

pag nagtatanong ako kay Keith kung tumatawag ba si Jay sa kanya, ang sagot nya palagi hindi daw

nakalimot na ata sila ah?

I can imagine him forgetting about me,

pero yung kakambal nya hindi nya tinatawagan? 

that’s not him at all, hindi nya nakakalimutan si Keith, not even once did he forget about his sister..

biglang natapos ang pagmumuni ko nung may kumatok sa kwarto ko

let me guess, Don?

“pasok” sabi ko

at tama nga ang hula ko, si Don nga ang kumakatok

“hi Len, I brought our lunch.. let‘s go out for a picnic” sabi nya tapos lumapit sya saken

“okay sure..” tapos nagsmile ako, a weak smile.. a smile with sadness hiding at the back.. ^_=

Jay’s POV

been a month and a half since I left the Philippines

tapos na din ang bet between Yuri and me

but she never left my side, and I thank her for that

she helps me get through things as I help her get through hers

saan ako tumutuloy?

well, since her parents knew about our bet they let me stay at one of their apartments in Korea

lagi lang akong pinapadalhan nila mommy ng pera

I’m not here to make a living, I’m here to forget.. so what do you expect?

but although I’m trying to forget, I still can’t..

she’s all that I’m thinking of, from the moment I step a foot to leave the Philippines till now.. 

damn, how will I face her? what if.. what if.. hindi na lang ako bumalik? things will be easier right?

“Yuri you there?” I knocked on their door

“noogoo jugieh? oppa?”[hindi na ako sigurado kung tama pa yung translation.. basta yun! lol]

“don‘t speak Korean, I don’t understand you” sagot ko pagkabukas nya ng pinto

“aw, sorry.. anong atin kuya?”

“labas tayo” aya ko sa kanya

“sure, saan mo gusto pumunta?” tanong nya saken

“surprise me.. as always..”

“okay” sagot nya with a smile on her face

tinutulungan nya akong lumimot..  ang sama ba ng term ko? 

well what can I do? mas masakit marinig ang sagot na ‘yes’ sa tanong na ‘will you marry me?’

tinutulungan ako ni Yuri in terms of bringing me to places that will occupy my mind

pero lecheng yan, lahat ng napupuntahan naming lugar pinangarap ko na sana nasa tabi ko si Len

madalas akong tumatawag kay Keith, nagtatanong tungkol kay Len

pero ibinibilin ko sa kanya na wag sasabihi kay Len na tumatawag ako 

huh.. another reason kung bakit hindi ko sya makalimutan, itanong ko ba naman sya sa kapatid ko halos araw araw eh. pano ko sya makakalimutan?

I think this is pointless to stay here.. pero I have to, cause I need to.. but.. aish.. =_=

I envy Yuri, in a short period of time, she matured.. from a childish girl to a lady like teenager

I don’t know how she did that.. but yeah, she pulled it..

kung titignan sa mga kilos namin ngayon, parang mas ate pa sya saken

but she’s still the sweetest girl I’ve known, except for Len of course

after our day out, we sat on a bench waiting for the sunset

damn, again I wish Len is here.. haaayy, Charlynn Maeka Sandoval del Rio I freaking miss you!!

I pulled out my cellphone

“tatawag ka na naman sa Pilipinas?” tanong nya without looking at me

“yup” I answered as I browse my phone book

“you‘ll never forget about her, what if you just go back there and face her.. tell her the truth kuya, be a man” sabi nya saken before I could dial Keith’s number

I looked at her, with a wide smile on my face

“I never imagined you as matured as this Yuri”

“well what can I say, things change, people change.. and so do I kuya” tapos nilingon nya ako at nginitian

“don‘t you want to see her?” tanong nya tapos tumingin na uli sya sa harap

“I want to, I badly want to.. but I can‘t”

“you can‘t? or you don‘t want to?”

“what do you mean? I just said that I want to see her”

“of course you can see her.. you just don‘t want to, because you don‘t want to see her with your cousin”

I chuckled she really matured.. I never saw this one coming..

“are you sure you‘re younger than me?”

“hell yeah” she gave me a snobbish look

“still the same old Yuri” sabi ko sabay paling ng ulo ko

“whatever.. hey! you‘re changing the topic!” she suddenly realized

“well, to be honest yeah I still can‘t bare to see her with him, stupid right? we we‘re never together yet I react this way.. so pathetic..” I laughed sarcastically

“that’s what you call it: pathetic.. but you know what that really is? well in math they call it problem; in history they call it war; in chemistry they call it reaction; in art they call it heart.. and to you? that’s what you call LOVE” 

she smiled, a smile that defies victory.. she got me there, she’s right.. this is love, and I’m a loser about it..
