Masaya akong umuwi sa bahay namin matapos kong mapanalunan ang championship sa larong archery. I'm the winner and I'm competing outside the country next month. 

Palundag-lundag pa akong nag lakad dala ang aking tropeyo. While I'm hoping that I'll make them happy. Their child is now a champion. 

"Mom Dad! Mom! Rose where are you? Dad" sigaw ko mula sa sala. 

Nasaan sila. Why this house is empty. Nasaan sila mama?

Marahan  kong nilapag ang aking hawak na trophy sa babasaging mesa at nag lakad patungo ng kusina. And there they are Cooking. 

Napangiti naman ako. Siguro nalaman na nilang panalo ako sa competition kaya nag luto sila. These is the first time they cook for me. Well that's what I thought not until my twin sister enter the kitchen.

"Oh honey. Congratulations. I know you can do it." sabi ni Mama bago niyakap ang kapatid ko.

Doon ko lang nahalata na may hawak din pala itong trophy. She's a champion like me.

"I've won in paintings mom. And guess what. Next month I will going to compete again." she said proudly.

"I'm so proud of you anak. Ang galing mo talaga." puri ni mama dito. 

Napaayos naman ako ng tayo ng makita kong napatingin si mama sa direksyon ko. Isang ngiti ang ibinigay ko sakanya.

"Congrats sis. You made it. Keep it up." I said to my twin and walk towards them and hug her.

"She's always a winner no need to keep everything up." sabi ni Mama isang banda sakin ay naintindihan ang rason na iyon pero ang kabilang banda ay nasaktan dahil sa salitang iyon. 

I'm too. But why didn't she saw everything I've done to make her proud.

"I also win the championship trophy Mom. In archery I'm competing international next month mom I hope you'll come with me." masaya kong saad.

"Congrats to you too" she said coldly.

She response with no emotion. Just like that. Sana hindi nalang siya sumagot. Mas masakit yung walang pakialam eh. I hold back my tears not to burst out.

"I'll go ahead mom."

Halos hindi na tuwid ang pag lakad ko dahil sa dami ng naimum ko. Fuck it. Why is my heart always receiving pain. Wala ba akong karapatang sumaya man lang? I'm that bad to suffer it all. 

Wala ba akong karapatang maging maligaya. Hindi na ba ako pwedeng ngumiti. Bawal na ba akong unahin. 

Sa sobrang kalasingan ay hindi ko namalayang nag lalakad na pala ako sa kalsada. Then it comes. A rushing vehicle heading towards my place. I just stand there waiting for it to hit me.

"Fuck it Lilly. Are you planing to kill your self. Fuck it" bulyaw sakin ng isang lalaki matapos hatakin ako mula sa kalsada. 

"Fuck it. Stand straight will you." sigaw niya ulit. 

Inaninag ko naman ang kanyang mukha. Inaalala lung saan ko ba siya nakita. Pero pamilyar ang boses niya. Yes. Oo. Si Dale. My Dale.

Pero imposible namang si dale iyon. Anong gagawin niya dito?

"Fuck Lilly stop staring at me!"

"Are you Dale?" I ask him for confirmation

"Fuck yes. So please umayos ka. Pagagalitan ka na naman ng nanay mo niyan." pangaral niya.

I just pout my lips and look at him. I smile before I kiss him on his lips in rush. Bago ako humagikhik.

Napaawang naman ang labi nito at seryosong nakatingin sakin. What? May mali ba?

"Why did you kiss me?" he asked

"Because I love you." sabi ko at tumawa ulit. Right there I become unconscious.

Nagising na lamang akong masakit ang ulo. What happened last night? Parang ilang beses pinalo ang ulo ko dahil sa sakit na nararamdaman. 

Oh fuck. I got drunk last night.

I roam my eyes around and I saw a familiar surrounding. Sino ang nag uwi sakin sa bahay?

"Ugh... !!!! I said before heading the bathroom to take cold bath. 

Saka ko pa lang naalala na may nag uwi saking lalaki kagabi. Ipinilig ko ang ulo ko upang alalahanin ang lalaki but its nothing. Wala akong maalala.

"Fuck. Who's that man" sigaw ko sa loob ng banyo. 

May pagka mesteryoso ang lalaki.

Pag katapos kong maligo ay pumanhik na ako sa baba para sa aking almusal. Nakaupo pa sina mama at ang kakambal ko sa hapag. I walk silently towards the dining at sit next to my sister.

"Kamusta naman yung pag iinarte mo hah?  Inuwi ka pa talaga dito ng boyfriend ng kapatid. Hindi ka na nahiya. " saad ni Mama

I keep my head down so that they won't see the tears that my eyes made. 

"Sorry po mom I won't do it again." hinging paumanhin ko. Kahit na nasasaktan ako ay kinabig ko lahat ng sakit upang hindi ako muling mapagalitan. 

"Aba dapat lang. Mahiya ka naman." sigaw nito

"Excuse me papasok na po ako sa school mom, dad, mauuna na ako sayo Rose." I said before I walk out of the dining area

Dahil sa sobrang sama ng loob ko nag lakad ako papuntang unibersidad na pinapasukan ko. I'm taking fine arts because that's what my mom's wanted. Kung ako ang masusunod ay kukuha ako ng medicine. Gusto kong maging doctor.

Pag dating ko sa paaralan ay sinalubong agad ako ng mga chismosa. Kesyo kamusta na daw ang kasalang magaganap next week. Kesyo magarbo ba.

Paanong hindi gagarbo iyon. Si Rose ang paboritong anak ni mom and dad. They won't stick for low class.

For 22 years of my existing. Hindi pa ako nahahandaan sa mga accomplishments ko ng bongga.

Bwesit. Bakit ba kasi nasabay pa ang pag papakasal niya sa graduation namin. Isang araw lang ang pagitan. 

Gagraduate ako ng magna habang ang kapatid ko naman ay summa cum laude, but I know parang wala parin naman iyon sa kanila. Kahit na siguro ako iyong exceeding performance ay balewala rin. Who am I. I am just no one to the family.

TAPOS NA akong maayusan ng pumasok ako sa silid ng aking kakambal. Nakita ko siya nakasalampak sa lapag habang hindi maampat ang kanyang iyak. Hindi pa siya nakabihis ng damit pang kasal niya at wala rin siyang make up.

"Hey stand up. Its your wedding day. You should be happy"

Kahit na labag sa loob ko dahil mahal ko ang taong pakakasalan niya ay ayos lang. Mas mahal ko naman ang kakambal ko. Kaya kahit anong makakapag papasaya sakanya ay susuportahan ko. 

Kaya kahit masakit. Go lang. Lilipas din to.

"Bunso gusto kong umurong. Hindi siya ang mahal ko." saad ni Rose habang humahagulhol sa iyak.

"Shhhhhhh. Mahal mo siya. Kasi kung hindi bakit mo siya sinagot. Bakit ka um-oo sa kanya ng nag propose siya sayo." sabi ko habang marahang hinahaplos ang likod niya

"Kasi ayaw ko siyang mapahiya kapag humindi ako. Ayaw kong maging tampunan siya ng tukso sa pag reject ko. What should I do? Hindi ko na alam!" she said out of frustration. Umiiyak pa rin siya habang mahigpit ang kapit sa kaniyang damit. 

"Maupo ka muna. Saka tumahan ka nga. Nakakapanget yan."

Right there I saw her smile. A true smile indeed. 

"I want to run please help me bunso." she pleaded. Nangunot ang noo ko habang nakatingin sa kaniya pero nawala naman iyon noong makita kong halos mamaga na ang mata niya sa kakaiyak. 

"I'll do what you ask. What is it?"

"I'll run now. Just don't say to anyone. And please be my substitute. Do this favor for me." she said. As if she thinks about it for million times.

"That's ridiculous Rose. Magagalit sina mommy. Palalayasin ako nila Daddy." giit ko habang hawak ang kamay niya.  Umiling siya ng paulit-ulit sa akin. 

"No. I'll explain later. Sasaluhin ko yun. I just don't want to marry Dale. Please Lilly." she said while holding my cheeks.

"Paano kung mahuli tayo?" I ask her

"They won't, maybe after but not now. They are all excited." sagot naman niya

"Bakit mo ba siya lilisanin?" I asked again out of curiosity.

"Kasi nakatali na ang puso ko sa ibang lalaki. And he will stay here in my heart forever. Ayaw kong bigyan ng kakarampot na pag mamahal si Dale, Lilly kasi karapatan niyang makakuha ng buong pagmamahal"

Kahit na ayokong gawin ay tumango nalang ako. Tinulungan niya akong mag h***d ng aking damit at isinuot niya and damit na para sakin. Habang ako naman ay naka puting trahe na dapat ay kanya. Hinalikan muna niya ako bago siya umalis.

I am nervously standing at the close door of the church. Waiting for a miracle to strike for me but I know there's nothing.

When the two wooden door open I saw the lovely place. The happy people. And the loving parents. Ito ang nais ko. Ang buhay na mayroon ang kakambal ko. Pero wala. Marami ang nag mamahal sakanya habang sakin ay wala. Habang ako ay nag iisa lahat sila nakapalibot at dinadamayan si Rose. How lucky my twin is. She has everything. While I have nothing

When I walk down the aisle ay agad na bumuhos ang luha ko. Papalapit na ako sa taong mahal ko. Kunting hakbang na lang nandito na ako. Hindi ito para sa akin pero kukunin ko. If this is my chance to be with him I'll get it. I love him but I love my sister. Pabor ito sa akin kasi ikakasal ako sa taong mahal ko. But what if they caught us after this. What will happened to me?

When the priest asked for our vows ay agad akong humarap sa kaniya. I smile at him. My life. My love. 

"I love you ever since the day you came into my life. You completed me Dale. You made me the happiest woman in the world. I promise that I will make you happy til death. Every second of our life I'll treasure it. I'll make what ever you want. From this day onwards and the rest of my life. I'll surrender my self to you. Your the one I wish to have. I love you" I said my vow to him. 

Habang tumutulo ang mga luha ko. I already open my dead end.

"I am Dale Marquez. Promising that I'll do my best to be worth for your love. I do everything you wish me to do so and make everything turns to possible one. I'll do anything what makes you smile. And promising that this love of mine is endlessly. I love you so much Rose Charmaine Dela Paz my Mrs. Dale Marquez til death do us part."

And there my tears fall down. I'm not Rose. I'm Lilly. Hindi ako ang dapat pakasalan niya ngunit heto ako nakatayo sa gitna ng altar kaharap siya.

"I pronounce you as husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Everyone clap and applause. They are so happy. They are very pleased. When we arrive at the reception ay nag kagulo na. When we arrive there ay naroon ang kakambal ko. Naka bihis ng casual. She shouldn't show herself. Oras na mag kasama kami ay makikilala nila kung sino si Rose at sino si Lilly. 

Pareho kaming nag katinginan habang pinagpawisan. Nakagat ko ang labi ko habang nabitin naman sa ere ang pag subo ng kakambal ko. My heart beats fast. Tatalikod na sana siya noong tawaging siya ni Dale.

"Rose!" she called. Right after hearing those words ay agad na tumakbo ang kapatid ko habang umiiyak. While my mom looks at me angrily. Agad niyang kinabig ang kamay ko habang si Dale naman ay hinabol ang kakambal ko. Kinakabahan ako. 

Parang hindi ko gusto ang susunod na mangyayari. Noong makarating kami sa bahay ay agad akong tinulak ni Mama sa sahig. Nakasuot na ako na casual kung kaya nagalusan ako. Agad niyang dinuro ang noo ko habang niyuyogyog ang balikat ko. I am crying while taking all those.

Kahit masakit ay kakayanin ko. Dapat kong panindigan 'to. I made a choice so better finish it. I may be look like evil her, but, I made a choice that will benefits my twin. 

And if it will happened again. I'll do the same thing repeatedly.

Hindi dahil mahal ko siya.

Kung Hindi dahil ay mas mahal ko ang kakambal ko.

I'll do everything to make her happy. And if that worth of my own happiness then be it. I don't care.

Kasi kahit na alin sa dalawa ang piliin ko. Maging kapalit niya man ako o hindi talo parin ako sa laro na ito. Kasi ang puso ng minamahal ko ay pag aari na ng kakambal ko.

And I'm doomed

    Sunod sunod na sampal at sabunot ang nakuha ko mula sa mommy ko pag alis ng mga bisita. Habang masasakit na salita naman ang nakuha ko mula sa pamilya ni Dale. Hindi ko alam kung paano namanipula ng kakambal ko ang marriage certificate at nakapangalan ito sakin. Hindi ko rin alam kung paano niya napalitan ang pangalan sa papeles na dapat kailangan. Basta ang alam ko ay pangalan ko ang nakalagay sa marriage certificate at ako talaga ang kasal kay Dale.Pero hindi iyon sapat. Dahil hindi sang-ayon ang dalawang panig kahit na ang magulang ko ay ayaw sa nangyari."Bakit mo ginawa yun. Wala kang kwentang anak. Alam mo bang galit na Galit ang pamilya nila sa atin!" singhal ni dad sakin."Dad listen its not what I want -." my mom slap me."You're a selfish crap.

    My heart is beating rapidly as I go down the stairs. Nasa kalahati pa lamang ako ng hagdan ay naririnig ko na ang boses ng kaniyang magulang. They are arguing with a high range of voice. Noong tuluyan na akong makababa ay nakita ko na sila ng tuluyan. I saw his father and his mother together with his siblings."What? Ganun na lang yun? That witch marry your brother! I want an annulment. I want that bitch to suffer behind bars!" His mother shouted as she slammed the table. Agad naman akong napatalon sa gulat.Lahat sila ay napatingin sa akin tila inaasahan na nila na papunta ako. His mother look at me while smirking. Siya ang unang nag tungo sa akin bago tuluyang lumapat ang kaniyang palad sa pisngi ko.My tears falls down as she tried to pull my hair. Pinigilan agad siya ng kaniyang asawa habang ako ay nakatulala lamang. Dale's brother pull me away at dinala sa kusina. Sumunod naman agad ang kaniyang kapatid na babae.

    I wake up in unfamiliar room. It was all white and nothing more. Nang ilibot ko ang paningin ko ay nahagip ng mata ko ang isang lalaki na hindi pamilyar sa akin. Agad siyang tumayo at nag tungo sa pwesto ko. He looks serious while walking."Sa susunod huwag kang mag lalakad ng pagod at may sinat. You look like a dead person earlier" he said trying to check me.Lumayo ako ng kaunti ng dumampi ang mga palad niya sa noo ko. He chuckled upon witnessing it."Huwag kang mag alala. I'm not going to bite you. I'm a trained wolf" he joke before he continue to touch my forehead."Sorry. Hindi ko sinasadyang abalahin ka.""It's not a big deal. Basta you should be careful next time. The bill was settled and you can discharge naman na. So if you want I can take you home. Baka kung ano pa ang mangyari sa iyo dyan. Saan ba ang bagay niyo?" He asked me. Umiling ako sa kaniya bago ako ngumiti."Salamat. Ako na ang bahalang umuwi sa ba

    "Si Dale po ba uuwi mamaya?" I asked manang as I saw her walking down the stairs. Dala niya ang walis habang marahang nag lalakad pababa."Oo ata. Hindi ko alam. Hindi ba nag sabi saiyo ang asawa mo?" she asked me. Umiling ako sa kaniya habang sumimangot."Baka hindi nga po. Baka kasama niya na naman ang kakambal ko. Manang pumunta na po ba yung taga deliver?" I asked her.Naubos na lahat ng gamit ko. I even sold some of my paintings to make money. Ito ang magiging libangan ko. Ito ang magiging pampalubag loob ko. Because in my every painting I gave my heart and soul to make my piece. And in every piece I make my heart was on it."Hayaan mo na lang yan ineng. Ganiyan talaga yun. Huwag kang masyadong mag isip hah Lilly"Hindi ko na lamang siya pinansin at dumeretso sa taas. Nag eenjoy ako masyado sa pag pinta. Isinuot ko na ang apron ko before I sit on my chair.

    "We meet again." iyon ang bungad sa akin ng lalaking nasa harap ko.He was smiling at me. He was wearing a black button down polo. His hair was dancing with the air while his smile is so wide."You are the son?" agad kong tanong sa kaniya."Yeah. Unfortunately yes. I am the son of the one who called you" he answered."Great." halos hindi ko madugtungan ang salitang iyon. I hear him chuckled before sitting in front of me. Inilapag niya ang kaniyang dalang bag bago tumawag ng waiter."I am Ace Samuel Lastimosa at your service." he offered his hand so I accept it. He chuckled again before he ordered."So where are the contract?""Easy. Kumain ka muna. Then after I'll discuss it with you. I am a lawyer and an entrepreneur too. So you are safe dealing with me.

    It was early in the morning when I saw him in the kitchen drinking water. Balak ko sanang kumuha ng tubig pero naroon siya sa daan. Umikot pa ako upang makakuha ng tubig ng mag simula siyang mag salita. Hindi siya nakatingin sa akin pero alam kong ako ang kausap niya. Hindi siya nakasuot ng pang trabaho pero alam kong aalis siya."Kamusta ang sugat mo?" lalagpasan ko na sana siya ng hatakin niya ako pabalik. He put down the glass and scan my lips. Marahan niyang dinampian ang labi ko na animo ay babasagin.Hindi pa ito magaling. Sariwa pa ito gaya ng kahapon. Kakawala pa sana ako sa kaniya noong mas higpitan pa niya ang kapit niya sa kamay ko. He let me sit in the chair before getting the first aid kit at the cabinet."Ayos lang ako. You don't need to do that." I told him bago tinabig ang kamay niya but he just gathered my hands then hold it."May pupuntahan tayo. They should not see tha

    "Kamusta naman ang party kagabi?" manang asked after she saw me walking down the stairs.Hindi pa rin napapawi ang mga ngiti ko simula kagabi. Ni hindi ko pa nga alam kung ano ba talaga ang dahilan ng mga nangyari kagabi. He was sweet and gentle. He even hold me as if I'm a glass that when you touch harshly I might break."Ayos lang po. Masaya po" maikling saad ko kaniya bago ako naupo para kumain.My Dale last night was different from the other days. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung bakit ganun iyon. Pero natutuwa ako. Sobrang saya ko kagabi. Halos hindi na mawala iyon sa isip ko.I hear footsteps from behind kaya agad ko iyong nilingon. I saw him wearing his office attire. He was still holding his necktie so I run towards him to fixed it."Ako na." Presinta ko sa kaniya bago inayos ang kaniyang tie. Ramdam ko ang pag titig niya sa akin pero hindi ako tumugon. I just bit my lips before I finally straighten his clothes.

Asked me if I can be their supplier or be one of the artist they'll showcase the talent."He was my first love. My longtime crush" I answer the reporter who asked me.Dale was my longtime crush. And my first love. I just don't know if he'll be my lifetime. "So can you drop the name?" she said politely.Napangiti lamang ako habang inaalala ang pangalan niya. My Dale was my ideal man. My dream.

    "Ano. Sigurado ka na ba talaga sa desisyon mo na yan? Final na yan? Ikaw kasi masyado kang takbuhin. Takbo ng takbo akala mo naman nakikipag karera ka." Karen told me while rolling her eyes. Inilapag ko ang aking bag bago naupo sa kama ko. I look around and see the same room I had left before. Thinking that I am back again here makes my eyes rolled. Haharapin ko na naman ang kapatid ko. It was just like we're twins. Yeah. Ako ang unang pinanganak sa ibang sinapupunan. Ako ang panganay sa aming dalawa. Ako ang nakakatanda pero bakit parang siya iyong nasusunod.

    "Mom." my son called me noong mahalata niyang naka tulala na naman ako. I smile at him bago ko inabot ang kamay ko sa kaniya. Agad naman niyang kinuha ang kamay ko at nag lakad patungo sa akin. It's been a month since I made my decision. Humingi ako ng break kay mommy bago kami nag tungo ng Vienna. Isang buwan na kami dito. Tumakbo na naman ako sa problema ko. Tumakbo ulit ako sa problema ko. Tinakbuhan ko na naman ang problemang dapat hinaharap ko."Is daddy going here too mom?" Lara asked me. Agad namang lumapit sa akin ang anak ko bago ito kumapit sa kabilang braso ko. "Do you miss your dad?" tanging tanong ko. Kasi kung oo ay ibabalik ko na sila. Actually kahit gaano ka kaready sa isang bagay pag dumating iyon magugulat ka pa rin. Masasaktan ka pa rin. Even though you expect it iba pa rin ang feeling pag dumating na.

    "I'm tired." I told him It's true. I am tired. I am really tired of this shit. Too tired of this lies. Pero parang mas nadadagdagan ang sakit na yun. Because he's here. Comforting me as if he didn't hurt me before. Isa siya sa sobrang nanakit sa akin. "Shhh. I'm here love." He whisper to me. But I push him. I tried to push him. "You hurt me more than they do. How dare you. Don't touch me!" I shouted as I push him. "Shh. Just cry. I won't leave you love." pag papakalma niya sa akin. But those memory keep coming back into my head. Trying to ruin the peace I am creating about him. I tried to forget to for once this time but I just can't. Mas lalo lamang nadagdagan ang sakit na nararamdaman ko noong mas niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit. Kinailangan ko siya noon pero bakit wala siya. It's hard to trust again lalo na ngayon. Sa mga nangyayari ngayon. "No. I can't. I still can't forget those pain you gave me. I can't forget how you treated me. It's still running back. So don't touch me!"

    The mall was pack of people. They are walking. Others are almost running. A typical mall on Sunday. Families on bonding. Kids are running. Every restaurant and fastfood was pack of family who are eating. Couples. Single. Friends. Or maybe exes who are out for closure. Pero sa dami ng tao doon ay hindi nakatakas sa akin ang pamilyang nasa harap namin. "So you plan to expose the marriage huh. Why?" My bio mom asked. Bakit nga ba? Hindi ba dapat? Ano ba ang dapat?

I don't have any idea why I say yes on his thought about this. Him in my house sharing room and acting like a parents. I'm fine with this if this is just for kids sake and also for me not to look like a fool to others. People are too confuse on what really is happening in our family.

    I tried to focus on my work and ignore Dale but he always found a way for me to look at him. He was now running away from our kids while we are working. Mas naiistress ako habang nandito sila. Dahil baka may mahulog na lamang ng kung ano at nandito sila nag lalaro. Dale always makes me worried after the kids. I didn't even think that having him with my side will caused such a chaos. "Dale enough of that. Stop running here and take those two out and grab some food. Hindi mo man lang ba naisip yun?" I scolded him. The two kids stop running too and look at me. Dale look down finding the right word to answer me but instead of answering he pull me and try to drag me out of that site, "What are you doing?!" I asked him. Pulling my hands back. "We're going to eat. At saka you shouldn't stress yourself up. Madali na yan matapos so relax okay. Few more weeks and our house was done." He answered. "I thought it was ours. What happened to our house Dale?" Rose suddenly spoke at our back. Agad

    I wake up the next day with Dale beside my bed. Hugging me from behind habang isinisiksik ang sarili sa akin. I saw his finger wearing our wedding ring. Holding my hands tightly when I tried to take my hand away. "Kailangan ng almusal ng mga anak ko""I already made them some breakfast. Just laid. I'm still sleepy love. " he whisper at me bago muling isiniksik ang sarili sa akin. I didn't move or even think to got up because he's holding me tight. "Just let me do this. This is the things that I missed for those times that I am running away from the marriage that I thought was fake and your scheming plan. I didn't realize that maybe you are a victim too. That maybe the both of us are victim". I hold his hand and start to feel his body at my back. I can even feel his breath in my head and his feet against mine. "What if we didn't suffer and parted for years. Are this gonna happened?""I wish we didn't parted our ways. I wish I could turn back time just to held you""But I know if yo

    "Are you sure about being with Dale again?" Karen asked me like she's not favor in that decision. "You like it too. Why ask now?""Come on. I just want to piss you off but I didn't wish that to happened. I mean I want my godchildren to have a complete family. But if it means it will hurt you of course I won't permit those. My sister walk at the same path as yours so I know how hard it is. So decide carefully" aniya. Agad naman akong tumango sa kaniya bilang pag sang ayon. Yeah. It's true. I need to decide carefully of course. My children's future are in my hands. It's either they will have a father or stay what we have now. A simple small family we treasure. But when I think of the complication in the near future I always ended up thinking again. If we got annulled and his parents and my biological parents wants him to marry my sister it was a big trouble. Because my children and my sisters children will be sibling that may bring odd feeling for the both of us. And I don't want my

I hate him. I hate him that much I am not ready for him to be my husband again. I've already witness and experience enough for me to say yes to him again. But what happened last night bothers me. Why did I laid down his bed. Damn his tricks. It always going into me. "Forget what happened last night" I told him when I saw him walking in the corridor.
