Confession of a Love sick fool part II
Hindi na umimik pa si Chris at nagpaalam nalang kay Lorie matapos angga sinabi nito sa kaniya. Nakuha na ni Chris ang ibig sabihin nito at hindi na niya kailangan tanungin pa ang dalaga sa kung ano man ang ibig nitong sabihin sa kaniya.
Walang salita na umalis si Chris at yumuko kay Lorie. He feels guilty but he didn’t let her see that. He knows his intentions at first is not good and he regretted it in some ways.
He didn’t regret that he helped his friend but what he regretted was that the chance of being with Rovie.
Nang makaalis na si Chris at tyaka lang pumasok sa loob si Lorie. Hindi niya alam kung bakit bigla nalang siyang nagagalit. Napapansin din ni Lorie na madali nalang siyang magalit at nawawalan ng mood. Hindi niya alam kung ano ba ang problema sa sarili niya.
Paniguradong nagulat at nagtataka ang kapatid sa inasal niya pagkarating nila kanina.
Hindi lang talaga mapigilan ni Lorie ang sarili niya kaya nagawa niya iyon. Lalo na at alam niyang ang kapatid niya ang malalagay sa alanganin at disgrasya.
Pumasok na si Lorie sa loob ng bahay nila at nakita niyang nakaabang na sa kaniya ang kapatid sa sala at nakataas na ang kilay nito.
Napapabuntong hinga nalang si Lorie at lumapit sa kapatid niya.
"Can you explain what just happened and why did you act like that earlier?" kalamado ang boses na tanong ni Rovie sa kaniya.
“I found out something and I'm just trying to protect you, Rovie.” Tugon ni Lorie sa tanong ng kapatid.
“What exactly do you mean?” naguguluhang tanong ni Rovie na gusto niyang ipaliwanag pa ng maigi ng kapatid ang nalaman nito.
“You already know that I'm part of a syndicate group, right?” tanong ni Lorie na ikinatango naman ni Rovie.
“Earlier today, we had a meeting and we tackled about the agents who’s trying to catch them, specially his daughter...” pangbibitin ni Lorie sa sasabihin.
Abang na abang naman si Rovie sa sasabihin ng kapatid.
“They have shown us pictures of these agents and along with them are Alexis and Chris. You know I don’t mind of you two being together or dating, right? But the situation is different now sis. I don’t want you to get involve into someone who’s profession is messy and dangerous. I don’t want you to get in trouble because you’re in a relationship with a agent. I'm so sorry, Rovie. I'm only trying to protect you as much as I can.” Napapayukong pagpapaliwanag ni Lorie sa kapatid na hindi malaman kung ano ba ang magiging reaksyon nito.
Lorie was really anticipated on seeing her sister's reaction and also scared at the same time.
"I knew from the beginning he has ulterior motives why he suddenly decided to court me. I knew for a fact that you can’t fall in love with someone at first sight. I mean it really happens but in our situation its very difficult to consider it as one," untag ni Rovie at hinawakan ang kamay ng kambal.
“You don’t have to apologize or say sorry to me, sis. I learned to understand you more now than I did before. I know what you're doing or what your decisions are you're putting me up first before anything else. Thank you for being so caring and loving me since day one sis. You're the best sister that I could ever have and I'm very thankful to have you. We only got each other now since mom and dad was already dead.” Mahabang dagdag ni Rovie.
Nang inangat ni Lorie ang mukha niya ay nakangiting Rovie ang bumungad sa kaniya.
Mabilis na niyakap ni Lorie ang kambal at ganoon din naman ang ginawa nito sa kaniya. Kapwa pa sila napapunas ng mga luha.
“Ang drama natin.” Natatawang saad ni Rovie na sinundan naman ng kapatid.
They spent the night with all just laughing and chit chatting not minding the obstacles they will face tomorrow.

Kinabukasan ay magkasama silang pumasok sa trabaho. Masaya ang umaga ng kambal na pumasok sa trabaho. Bagamat pagkaratin doon ay nakita nilang nakaabang si Chris sa labas mg coffee shop kaya biglang napasimangot si Lorie habang si Rovie maman ay natural lang.
Ang tigas talaga ng mukha ng lalaking ito. Untag ni Lorie sa kaniyang isipan.
“Morning Rovie, Lorie..." bati ni Chris sa kanilang dalawa.
Si Rovie lang ang bumati pabalik dito at nanatiling tahimik lang si Lorie.
“Pwede ko ba makausap sandali si Rovie, kung mararapatin mo, Lorie?" Tanong ni Chris.
Tumango si Lorie at binalingan ang kapatid. “I'll go ahead first and get ready, sis.” Iyon lang ang sinabi ni Lorie at nauna ng pumasok sa loob.
"What do you want us to talk about?" mahinhing tanong ni Rovie sa binata ng makaalis ang kambal niya.
"Are you mad at me, Rovie?"
Naguluhan naman agad si Rovie sa tanong ng binata.
"What are you talking about? Why would I get mad at you?" naguguluhan ngunit seryosong tanong ni Rovie pabalik sa binata.
"I thought you're mad at me and your sister told you something--" hindi na natuloy ni Chris ang dapat na sasabihin dahil pinutol na ito ni Rovie.
"Yes, she told something. I'm also glad that you're here because I want to ask you a question." Diretsahang sagot ni Rovie na nagpakaba sa binata.
Hindi na umimik si Chris at hinintay ang tanong ni Rovie sa kaniya.
"Did you court me because you like me or you want to gain something from me? Please tell me the truth.” Nakikiusap na tanong ni Rovie sa binata.
"I admit at first, I did it because my friend asked my to but not anymore... I'm being true to you right now." Pag-amin ni Chris sa dalaga.
"Why? What could you possibly gain from me? Who are you really?" seryosong tanong muli ni Rovie sa binata.
"I-I'm... I can't tell you, I'm sorry." Napapayukong saad ni Chris.
"Oh okay. I'm going to work now." Paalam ni Rovie sa binata.
"Wait, Rovie..." pagpigil sa kaniya ng binata kaya hinarap ito muli ni Rovie.
"What?" naiinis na untag ni Rovie sa binata.
"Mahal kita, Rovie. Mahal na kita."
Natigilan si Rovie sa sinabi ng binata at hindi alam kung paano magreact sa sinabi nito.
