Second Best 「 Choi Soobin 」✓

23

Soobin;

Inayos ko yung higaan namin ni Suri. Malapit na mag 10 pm. Siguro uuwi na yun. Lumabas ako ng kwarto at nadatnan si Mama Saeron at Papa Jim na natutulog ng magkayakap sa sofa. Nakatulog siguro sila habang nanunuod ng tv.

Pinatay ko yung tv at lumabas ng bahay. Aabangan ko si Suri sa labas. Ilang minuto pa lang akong nakaupo sa bench sa labas ng bahay nila nung napansin ko ang isang kotse na huminto.

The car is so familiar. I walked to the gate. Lumabas sa kotseng yun. A smile plastered on my face when I saw her. But then, it changed when a familiar person came out also from the car.

Tumigil ang mundo ko when I saw her. Nakita ako ni Suri. Nagulat siya but then it changed into an unfamiliar emotion. Lia saw me too. She smiled and run to me. She gave me a hug.

"Binnie..."

She said and hugged me tight. Nakatingin lang ako kay Suri. Anong nangyayari? Bakit kasama niya si Lia?

"Maiwan ko muna kayo."

Lia broke the hug. Suri pass as by. Hinawakan ko ang wrist ni Suri.

"San ka pupunta?"

I asked. Napatingin si Lia sa'min. Suri looked at Lia and then me.

"Papasok na ako sa loob. Gusto ka daw niyang makausap kaya maiwan ko muna kayo."

She said at kinuha ang kamay ko sa wrist niya. She walked away. I looked at Lia.

"Binnie, let's go home."

Ani niya.

"No. I'll stay here. Alam ba ni hyung na pumunta ka dito?"

"Nope, I didn't tell him."

"You should go home. Baka hinahanap ka na ni hyung."

I said. I was about to leave when she hold my hand.

"Binnie, please don't do this. I miss you so much. Please go home with me."

She beg. I looked at her.

"Lia, you are engaged to my brother. Wala ng saysay kung ipagpapatuloy pa natin tong relasyon natin. Kuya ko yun eh. Magpapakasal na kayo. Anong laban ko dun? You know what, tama si Suri. I should have surrendered this relationship before. Kasi kahit pagbalik baliktarin man natin ang mundo, mali pa rin tong ginagawa natin. You will never be mine Lia. Tama na. Ayoko na. Pagod na akong masaktan. I'm sorry, let's end this. Leave me alone."

I said and started to walk away.

"Yan ba yung nakuha mo sa babaeng yan? Ang talikuran ang taong mahal mo?"

Napantig yung tenga ko sa sinabi niya. Lumingon ako.

"Is that it Soobin? After all this years na magkasama tayo ngayon mo pa ako iiwan? Soobin you love me. And I am the only girl who can give you the kind of love you needed. You can't do this. Hindi ako papayag. I won't let you."

"If that's the case then I'll make sure that you can't stop me. Yes, I do love you pero ikaw? Minahal mo ba talaga ako? Palagi mong sinasabi sakin na ako yung totoong mahal mo at hindi si hyung. You told me na kaya mo siya sinagot dahil sa business. Pero Lia, kung totoong mahal mo ko, ako dapat yung pinili mo and not that f*ucking business!"

"Soobin, I explained everything to you. The reasons why I chose this sh*t more than you. Akala ko ba naiintindihan mo ang lahat?"

"Oo, naiintindihan ko ang lahat pero hindi naman ibig sabihin nun na hindi na ako masasaktan. Lia kailangan rin kita. Kailangan ko ang oras mo. I want to be with you. But not in a way na patago."
