Mr. Perfect and His Cute Little Son

Chapter 1

12 years ago.

"Bye Elle."

"Bye. See you tomorrow." sabi ko habang nag-aayos ng mga gamit.

Bigla na lang nagvibrate ang cellphone ko na ibinigay sakin ni Cassie (my twin sister), there's a message from her.

"Elle, come to the rooftop, there's something I wanted to show you. You'll come right?"

Ano na naman kayang kailangan niya?

Isinukbit ko na ang bag ko saka pumunta ng rooftop, mula sa siwang ng pinto ay nakita ko si Cassie at parang may kausap siya.

"Ian... mahal kita, mahal mo rin ako hindi ba??"

Ian???

Sinilip ko kung sino ang kausap niya at halos manlaki ang mga mata ko ng makitang si Ian nga ang kasama niya, bakit sila magkasama dito?

Ano na naman bang kalokohan ito Cassie??

Papasok na sana ko ng biglang magsalita si Ian, "That's true but..." nagulat ako ng bigla siyang halikan ni Cassie. Then Cassie looked at my way with her lips still in Ian's and met my teary eyes.

Tanging nagawa ko na lamang ay tumalikod at tumakbo paalis habang umiiyak.

I felt my world turned upside down.

My feet dragged me to the place where I and Ian first met. Tila bumalik lahat ng ala-ala sakin. Three years being friends and a year and a half being lovers.

My teardrops fell like rain that day while remembering all of our memories together. Kahit na ayoko... it flashes like a film out of my will leaving me with a broken heart.

"Is everything just a lie? You told me that you love me, kasinungalingan lang ba ang lahat?? Bakit mo sinabing mahal mo ko kung si Cassie naman pala talaga?? Bakit Ian?"

Umuwi ako ng namamaga ang mga mata ko pero wala man lang nakapansin sakin dahil giliw na giliw sila sa pakikinig sa kwento ni Cassie sa kanila.

"And you know what, Ian told me that he loved me too, so I kissed him and he didn't reject me. I'm so so happy, you knew how much I loved him right?"

Napatigil ako sa pag-akyat ng hagdan pataas.

"Of course sweetie, how could he reject you, you're beautiful, smart and rich. Walang lalaki ang hindi magkakagusto sayo." sabi ni mom.

"And Ian is a great guy, handsome, kind, intelligent and on top of that he's an heir of their company. Kapag napangasawa mo ang katulad niya lalong aangat at lalakas ang kumpanya natin, we are so proud of you Cassandra." sabi naman ni dad.

"But, Ian is still Castelle's boyfriend right now, I don't think Castelle will let him go that easily. She's too obsessed with him, so I and Ian are both worried." sabi ni Cassie sabay tingin sakin.

"What? How could that girl have him first than you? Don't worry about her, me and your mom will talk to her." sabi ni dad. "Nasaan na nga ba ang malas na iyon at ganitong oras na ay wala pa rin siya?"

"Oh. She's here. Good timing Elle, we are discussing something right now." sabi ni Cassie na naging dahilan para mapansin ako ng mga magulang namin, "But what's with that terrible face? Could it be, you already knew about my relationship with Ian and the one he truly loves right now is none other than me?? That he has been lying to you all this time?"

Her words cut deep into my heart that I wanted to tear up once again pero pinilit kong pigilan.

"Answer your sister Castelle, she's asking you." sabi ni dad.
