Lies

People are not perfect lahat tayo may nagagawang mali may nasasabing hindi tama because it's human nature we are not made to be perfect we made to live and to fight. That's why don't easily judge a person if he or she did wrong because we are not perfect. Life is not perfect. 

"It's okay Ms. Lim just do well next time, okay." I'm here at Korea and I'm arranging everything here and this is the third time since I got here nagkamali yung designer but I understand her kaya hindi ko pinipagalitan. I have a flight this afternoon kaya kailangan ko talaga magmadali. 

"Yes, Ma'am." she said at lumabas na ng office ko at ako naman inayos muna mga gamit ko before leaving my office. 

My brother arrange a dinner at sakto naman na dinner ang dating ko sa Manila.  I don't know what's with a sudden dinner. At sabi niya din na hindi siya ang susundo sa'kin and Raffy will pick me up. Simula ng nagkita kami ni Ate Chloe I tried really hard not to look like that I'm hiding something to my brother. It's exactly month since I met Ate Chloe even the girls they still don't know that Ate Chloe and I are talking before I leave for Korea patago pa akong pumupunta sa bahay niya. I'm still communicating with her even if I'm here and I'm also asking her kung kailan niya balak sabihin kay Kuya I even threaten her. 

"Ate Chloe I'm telling you pag hindi mo pa sinabi sa kapatid ko. I'm the one who will tell him." 

And the last time I saw Gray is the time that we talk. I tried so hard to talk to him bago ako umalis nun. But he's really avoiding me kaya hindi ko na alam gagawin ko. I want to talk to Gray. Gusto kong bawiin lahat ng kaisinungalingan na sinabi ko sa kanya but how should I do it if he's avoiding me. For the past few months kahit ng hindi pa ako nakakabalik dito sa Korea punong puno yung isip ko ng problema, work, Gray and my brother. I remember my brother ask me kung nakakausap ko pa ba si Ate Chloe it's exactly before I leave for Korea and I lied again and say I don't. 

Then I realize that I'm good at lies. And I hate it. I hate being a liar. 

I'm at a NAIA now waiting for Raffy to arrive. I really wonder why my brother didn't pick me up. Sabi niya pag-alis ko na siya susundo sa'kin pag uwi ko but he said no right now. I'm patiently waiting when someone appear in front of me. 

"Your cousin ask me to pick you up." Gray said I was so shock to see him in front of me kaya nakatitig lang ako sa kanya. Kinuha niya yung mag maleta ko at naglakad na kaya sumunod na lang ako without saying anything. 

Oh gosh, I miss him. Kung dati ang dami kong gustong sabihin sa kanya but now that he's in front of me hindi ko alam kung ano yung mga yun. 

I enter his car and put my seat belt on at ng makasakay siya dun na ako nagsalita. 

"Why are you the one who pick me up?" nagtataka talaga ako bakit siya. I'm sure Raffy is not busy because we will have dinner so why all of a sudden si Gray ang nandito. 

"Your cousin have urgent matter to do and she ask me and in fact I'm also invited to that dinner." He said and start the engine of the car. Hindi na ako nagsalita pa hanggang sa makarating kami sa nireserve na resto ni Kuya. 

When I enter the resto they all look at me na para akong bibitayin. What is really happening? I look at Raffy she just gave me a small smile. I greeted all of them even if they are all acting weird. Kuya's friend is also here. That is why I smile and said hello to them. But my brother is not here yet.  Nasaan na yun siya yung nagpadinner siya wala.

"Where's Kuya?" I ask them at sabay sabay naman silang nag iwas ng tingin sakin. At si Mommy lang at Daddy ang sumagot sa'kin. 

"He's on the way na late lang." tumango ako at sumimangot.
