Mallory POV
Nagising ako nang may natanggap na notif ang phone ko. Agad ko naman itong binuksan. It might be from my mom but to my surprise it's a message from Kurt. Why would this man trying to contact me?
'Meet me at the place please'
I don't know why am I thinking over this message. Over that Kurt. I shouldn't mind him. I have to cut ties with them now. But still, a part of me wanted to go and I think I'll really have to do that. I changed my clothes and prepare my things. Natutulog pa sa kabilang kwarto si Joker. So I took the chance para makalabas ng condo at kitain si Kurt. Ayokong ipaalam pa ang kaugnayan namin kay Joker. I don't want him to worry.
I just took a taxi. Buti nalang at medyo malapit lang at makakabalik ako kaagad mamaya. Pagkababa ko ng taxi agad kong hinanap si Kurt Malayo pa lang ay tanaw ko na siya. I am already familiar with his built. Suddenly, I felt sad again.
Naalala ko naman ang una naming pagkikita nang dalhin sila ni Dad sa bahay. I was having my breakfast that time with Mom since Dad didnt came home that night. My Mom was shocked at pati na rin naman ako pagkapasok ni Daddy kasama ang bago niyang pamilya.
Maraming tanong ang pumasok sa isip ko no'n. Why my Dad fell for another woman? He already had me and my Mom. And at top of that may anak pa ang pinalit niya kay Mommy. Hindi ko lubos maisip na kaya pala ni Dad gawin 'yon sa amin ni Mommy.
I really got furius at him kaya hanggang ngayon hindi ko siya mapatawad. He did a really huge mistake and I can't ever forget that. Kaya ko nag-aral ng Law at pumasok sa prosecution. I want to dig my Dad wrong doing. He is a Senator, an undeserving Senator. He ruined his own family so how could he serve the country?
Agad akong umupo sa katapat na upuan ni Kurt. He was surprise sa biglaang pagdating ko since I didn't replied to his message. Of course I always ignore his messages.
"What do you want?" agad na tanong ko.
"Let's ord-"
"C'mon Kurt! It's not like I am here for a date. You're wasting my time. Just tell me what you want to say," inis na sabi ko.
I'm really pissed off. Every time I see Kurt I can't stop remembering what happened to our family. I don't want to consider him my brother since then.
"Please don't go."
Natigilan ako sa sinabi ni Kurt. I didn't expect he would said these words. Why would he let me stay? Kung wala ako hindi na magulo ang pamilya niya. Hindi ba't 'yon naman ang gusto ng nanay niya.
"Ano na naman bang drama ito Kurt?" hindi ko maiwasang hindi mainis sa pagbabait-baitan niya.
"I just want you and your Dad-"
"Stop. Kahit ano pang gawin mo hinding hindi na kami magkakabati ni Dad," kaagad naman akong tumayo at tumalikod sa kanya.
"Can't you do it for me?"
Natigilan ako sa sinabi ni Kurt. What did he just said? I can't help it but to laugh so hard.
For him?
But I eventually stopped when a thought suddenly strike on my head.
"W-why would I d-do it for you?" nauutal ako sa mga posibleng dahilang sabihin ni Kurt.
"You knew it Shaine. I know you knew it already," seryosong saad niya.
Maybe...
I already knew.
Alam ko kung anong pinunto mo Kurt but...
You also knew what's my answer.
"Tuloy ang flight ko bukas. Kasama ko si Joker kaya wag ka mag-alala."
