Bakit ba hindi ko nalaman? Bakit hindi ko nahalata?

Noong napansin ko na parang may kamukha si Khalil ay hindi pala ako nagkamali, because Vernon and Khalil have little common features. They both have fair skin, angled jaw, natural and thin lips. Parehas din silang may makapal na kilay. Ngayon ko lang napansin na mahahalatang magkapatid sila kapag nagkatabi. Gaya na lang sa picture dito.

The only difference is Khalil has a friendly and playboy vibes, while Vernon looks like a snob and the serious type.

Naalala ko din yung mga oras na nakikita kong nag-uusap silang dalawa. I even wonder why they seem close and talk casually to each other.

Wala sa sariling napahawak ako sa kwintas na bigay ni Vernon. I received this last Christmas, but he can't give this to me personally because he's here in the Philippines during that time.

Pero biglang pumunta sa bahay namin sa Seoul si Khalil.

Vernon wrapped his strong arms around my small waist. "Now you know, how I gave you the necklace," he concluded like he can read what I'm thinking.

Napatango lang ako habang nag si-sink in pa lang sa'kin ang lahat.

"Paano..." I paused, doesn't know what to ask first. "Bakit hindi ko alam na magkapatid kayo?"

"Uy, Vernon. Nakikinig ka ba?" Tawag ko sa kanya. He's busy smelling my hair and kissing my head.

"Yeah, of course," he replied, rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Have you forgotten the name of that ugly one?"

I elbowed him. "Don't be harsh to him, he's my best friend. Hindi pangit si Khalil!"

And speaking of Khalil, bakit nga ba hindi ko naisip na pareho sila ni Vernon ng last name?

Vernon Nicholas Licauco

Khalil Benedict Licauco

He renewed his embrace for me. This time, tighter. "He's ugly okay and for your information, Ms. San Diego, I'm your first best friend. You met me first." He said, emphasizing the last sentence.

Tumawa ako. Hindi talaga mag papatalo! "Oo na, ikaw na ang una."

〰️〰️〰️

For the second time, I almost forgot that we have dinner with his family. Minsan talaga hindi magandang nagdidikit kami ni Vernon e. Nakakalimot sa paligid.

"Have a seat, Euri." Tita Amari welcomed me again with a smile. Mabuti na lang talaga at ngumingiti siya dahil nababawasan ang kaba ko kahit papaano.

Vernon pulled a chair for me before he sat beside me. Tita Amari is sitting in front of us while Tito Winston is in the center of the table.

Nakita ko din si Khalil na katabi pala ni Tita. There's a playful smirk plastered on his face.

I was just straightly sitting here, still a bit nervous, waiting for what they would say or ask me.

"We're glad to see you're doing okay, hija." si Tito.

"Uhm.. t-thank you po." I stuttered.

Tita sipped on her wine glass before asking me. "How are you feeling right now? Wala ka na bang amnesia?" she asked curiously.
