The key to
WHY DO people keep secret?
It was not the first time I asked myself about that. But I finally realized the answer now. It's easy as 123 compared to my thesis paper. It's simply because it is a secret. At sino ba ang nasa matinong pag-iisip para isiwalat ang isang sikreto? No one... except Grant.
We tend to get hurt lalo na kapag nagtago ng sikreto ang minamahal natin sa atin. We feel a pang of pain and worst— betrayed. But now, I couldn't feel anything. Para lamang akong lumulutang. Hindi ako makapag-isip ng mabuti. I instantly became dysfunctional.
Siguro dahil gulat pa rin ako sa mga pangyayari. One second, I was trapped in a storage room. Now, I found out Fire and Grant's secret. Ano pa kaya ang mangyayari bukas?
Humugot ako nang malalim na buntong hininga.
I admit, I felt betrayed at first. And worst of all, pakiramdam ko nagmukha akong tanga at katawa-tawa. Pero naisip ko rin, If I let my emotions rule me, it will surely consume me. And I've learned my lesson...
Iisipin ko na lang na may magandang rason si Fire. O di kaya ay masyadong personal, but nevertheless I won't hate him. Iintindihin ko na lamang siya...
After all, hindi kami kasal. I am just his girlfriend. At bilang girlfriend, alam kong may mga personal na bagay rin siyang pinagdadaanan. And all I should do is to put my hundred percent trust on him...
"Love? Please speak..." narinig ko ang boses ni Fire.
Tulala pa rin akong nakaupo sa loob ng isang coffee shop. Ni-hindi ko na matandaan kung paano ako napunta rito. Siguro dahil dinala ako rito ni Fire...
Parang panaginip pa rin ang mga nangyari ngayong araw. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala.
But come to think of it, parang nakabuo ako ng isang jigsaw puzzle dahil sa nalaman ko. Kaya pala may kakaibang tensyon tuwing magkasama silang dalawa. Kaya pala magkasama si Fire at Grant dati sa East Side. And it's all because they are siblings. Pero paano?
"Paano?" wala sa sariling sambit ko.
"I know you're to shock. But it's a long story so I'll cut it short for you. Grant was born out of love... And he really is my brother, we have the same mother."
Pagkatapos niyon ay tipid na ngumiti si Fire. There was something about his smile. It may look genuine but I could feel the sadness and longing it brought.
Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo at naglakad palapit sa kinauupuan niya. Yumuko ako at binigyan siya ng isang mahigpit na yakap.
I combed his hair soflty. I could feel his shoulders shaking. Parang dati lang...
"It's okay. I understand you, and I trust you. I'm always here..." I murmured.
Naramdaman ko ang pagyakap niya sa akin pabalik. Mas lalo niyang siniksik ang kaniyang ulo sa aking dibdib. Napangiti ako. Kahit paano, napagaan ko ang pakiramdam niya.
