CROWN'S ARDOR (FORBIDDEN LOVE)

Chapter 29

(Vien)

"Oh my! It's so boring!" rinig kong sigaw ni Maricris mula sa kwarto nya. Ang lakas ng boses.

She has a point. Ang boring ng araw na to. It's Saturday and it's boring. I've already finished my lesson plans. Hindi ko naman matawagan si Gwen, kasi busy sya sa pag rereview sa upcoming Mid term.

"Ate? Tara sa mall" Maricris interrupted and she's infront of me. Wait, what the hell is she doing in my room?

"Do you know how to knock?" I asked her, irritably .

"No, I don't" sagot nya at may pagkabitchy ang tono ng pag sasalita. I roll my eyes and glared at her. She has changed a lot.

"Ate tara sa mall. Ang boring dito sa bahay. Wala akong magawa" naboboring nyang sabi.

"Then, mag aral ka." I frankly says.

"Mag aral? Seryoso ka ba dyan Ate?Wala pa akong masyadong alam sa mga tinuturo sa skul nyo. Papaano ako mag aaral?"

"Why don't you ask somebody na kilala mo?" I defended again and wants to end our conversation. Hindi ko matake na kausapin ng matagal ang kapatid ko lalo na't maari syang maging karibal ko kay Gwen, even other girls like Veronica. Hindi ako ganito sa kanya dati, we were so close and we used to fool around. At nung malaman ko ang intensyon ni Maricris kay Gwen. I felt frightened and threatened. Maganda si Maricris at mag kasing edad lang sila ni Gwen. Eh ako? I'm gonna be 20 on Monday.

Naiinis lang ako kay Maricris, I know it's ridiculous to hear, pero ito ako eh. I just don't want my girlfriend take away from me.

"Hindi sila sumasagot. And, don't worry baka hindi din ako tumagal sa school na yun." Mahina nyang sabi which is nacaught ng atensyon ko.

"Why?" I ask curiously. Umupo sya sa computer chair ko and started to play it. Pinaiikot ikot nya.

"Kasi, hindi ko alam kung magiging akin ang taong ipinunta ko don. At hindi ako sure na sya nga ang taong para sa akin. Ngayon ko lang naramdaman to Ate eh. Ngayon ko lang na feel yung sparks" sabi nya.

"You mean your deeply inlove with Gwen?" I asked her. Hindi ko mapigilan na hindi ipahalata na kinakabahan ako sa isasagot nya.

"I-I.." she paused and look at me.
I raised my eyebrows waiting for her answer.

"Y-Yes."

"Oohh" thats all I can say. She's deeply inlove with my girlfriend.

Agad agad!

"No, I mean... Hindi ko maintindihan Ate eh. She's perfect. When I first saw her I can't stop thinking about her. One time naisip ko, tama ba na mainlove ako sa kanya"

No you're not. Because she's mine. She's already mine. I wanted to say it out loud, but thanks to my mouth I remain silently while staring at
my sister's eyes.

Sa dinami dami ng pwede kong maging karibal ay kapatid ko pa.
Threatened na nga ako kay Veronica tapos idagdag pa ang kapatid ko.

"A-Ate? Okay ka lang?" she snapped.

"Yes, I-I'm fine. Bumalik ka na sa kwarto mo. May gagawin pa ako" sabi ko at tinalikuran sya and started to fix something on my small cabinet na wala namang sense.

"Okay, I thought, baka pwede ka sumama sa akin. I just texted Gwen and her cousin Ella"

Napansin ko ang biglang pagpula ng pisngi nya. Oh did she just blushed? God, this girl is totally inlove! I never thought na katulad ko rin sya. My family knows she likes boys from the first place at ngayon naiba na ang taste nya.
