Basahin natin ang rebelasyon ng isang netizen na makapag damdamin.
I have a sister, manghod lang siya nako ug 2 years, let’s call her Rhianna. Even though igsuon tuod mi, but we are opposite polarities. I am the loquacious, outgoing and free-spirited type while my sister is reserve, quiet, and the typical geeky loner. We are both known to people in our school for different reasons. Siya tungod kay brayt ug achiever, ako tungod kay active ko sa extra curricular ug mga school events.
My sister is my bestfriend, she is everything to me. Suod mi gikan pagkabata namo and we’ve always had each other’s back. Daghan mag-ingon nga mura mi ug kambal. Kini ako manghod, tungod kay buotan kaayo, daghan mo-bully ani niya usahay, di man gud mopalag. So ako permi ang tig-abog sa mga oportunista.
One Saturday morning, nahibulong ko why busy kaayo amo mga helper ga prepare ug lunch nga usually ig Saturday, mag eat out man lang mi kay para kapahuway amo mga katabang sa buhatunon sa balay. So ako gi ask amo helper di ba mi manlakaw kay nakailis na baya ko ug na confirm napud nako ang reservation namo sa restaurant.
Helper: Ma’am, giingnan mi sa imo mommy nga diri lang ta mag lunch ron kay naa ang bisita ni maa’m Rhianna.
Ug tuod, naa sa sala ako manghod ug ang nanguyab niya nga ka schoolmate nako. His name is Jake. Ilado ni siya sa Medical department nga f*ckboy. So pagkita palang nako niya, wala na dayon ko nakauyon kay kahibalo nako sa tinguha sa in-anang klase nga lalaki. Usa pasad, 4 years ago, kato bag o palang ko ni transfer sa among school gikan UC, nanguyab ni siya nako.
Nakabantay ko ni Rhianna nga gikilig jud siya sa pagbisita ni Jake sa amo. Bisan gahilom ra siya, makita nako nga she is happy for Jake to be there. Fair enough, Jake is a really good-looking guy. He’s from a well-bred family nga ilado sa medical field. So I took a deep breath and decided to face Jake and suss out what he’s up to.
Me: Hi babe. I see you have a visitor. (ni kiss ni Rhianna)
Rhianna: Hi ate, yes I do, this is Jake. Jake, this is my…
Jake: Farrah, good afternoon. I came to visit your sister.
Me: Hi Jake. Welcome… Please make yourself at home. By the way, nagluto mi, do stay for lunch.
While nag lunch amo tibuok family kauban amo staff sa balay, gi interview na dayon ug sugod si Jake sa akong daddy. Kini ako daddy diay protective kaayo ni siya ni Rhianna, inosente kaayo ni ako sister gud. So he’s a bit more concerned about her than he is with me.
Dad: So Jake, I’ve heard from Riya nga you’ve known Farrah from school?
Jake: Yes, sir. I’ve met Farrah on several occasions while doing my internship.
Riya: That’s right dad, Jake is one of the top students of their batch. Active pud siya sa mga community outreach program sa school.
While naminaw ko sa storya ni Rhianna ug Jake, klaro kaayo nga nakagusto jud akong sister niya. Pero nahibulong ko kay Jake kay I’ve caught him several times looking my way as if daring me to say something to everyone on how I’ve actually known him. Gisapot jud ko nagtan-aw niya nga hambugero kaayo sigeg pahumot sa akong parents. Mura jud ug wala ko kabalo sa iyang mga binuhatan. He can never fool my sister, I’ll make sure of it.
Niagi pa ang pila ka weekends nga halos ang nawng ni Jake naa ras amo-a. He would hang out with my sister and my older brother. Barkada man gud sa iya kuya ang akong brother pud pag highschool. Sayang lang kay wala ni kabalo ako maguwang kung unsa ni ka baboy lakiha kay sa Manila man gud nag skwela akong kuya ug business course.
Rhianna and Jake started dating not long after. Happy kaayo ako manghod so I didn’t have the heart to tell her how I knew Jake. Mura binuang raman sad to iyang pagpanguyab nako sauna so I didn’t think it’s even worth mentioning. Ang importante, he loves my sister and he is serious with her. His past won’t matter to me.
Niabot ug 3 years si Rhianna ug Jake and going strong jud sila. I have learned to accept him as my sister’s significant other. Welcome na kaayo siya sa amo. Our family and his kay nagka-close napud. One time na overhear pa nako sila nga nagplano na sila nga ipakasal na si Riya ug Jake soon kay para mahiluna na sila. They’ve been dating for awhile and Jake has passed the licensure exam while Riya has been working full time napud. Bisan naa jud koy iffy feeling ni Jake, I have learned to respect him as my sister’s better-half.
Jake proposed to Riya a few months later in the presence of family and friends. My sister had this really radiant smile and I cried with her when she said “yes” to Jake. They are the most loving couple in print. They look perfect together and as a bystander of their love story, makita jud nako unsa nila ka pinangga ang each other.
The wedding is set a year after atong engagement night nila. They’re planning to have a beach wedding sa El Nido where they’ve met while on vacation. Grabe ang preparation para sa ilang wedding. Bongga kaayo kay ang family daw ni Jake ang gasto sa tanan. My sister is on cloud 9 the whole time. Halos mabugto na iyang baba ug smile.
2 months before the wedding, nakurat tanan sa amo balay kay niuli si Riya nga hysterical. Gihatod siya sa iyang amiga sa balay nga nag hilak, nag syagit ug nag kisi2x. Jake has broken off the engagement after she caught him sleeping with an intern in his condo. Kami tanan nanga shock sa panghitabo. Nisuway pa akong parents ug damage control and spoke to Jake only to be told “I’m not marrying that brat”, nga mura pa ug sayop ni Riya mag huramintado after masakpan siya nagkabayo sa intern. Sangko sa langit ang kalagot sa among pamilya kay Jake. We had to do the painful process of informing everyone invited that the wedding has been called off. Uwaw kaayo sa amo pamilya pero wala nami mabuhat, what’s done is done.
Grabe ang sakit nga na cause ni Jake sa ako sister. Ni resign siya sa work, ug halos di na mogawas sa iya room. She has lost weight ug grabe siya nga nagkaga. Gone is the sunshine that followed my sister everywhere she goes when she was ecstatic with joy. It’s now replaced with a constant dark cloud that no one can shake off. Nilarga ako parents ug si Rhianna sa Canada for 6 months para didto mo recover. Dual citizen mi sa amo family ug didto mi gadako til nag 10 years old ko.
After 6 months niuli na akong parents while si Riya nagpabilin didto and decided to do her further studies. Naguol ko gamay kay wala siya mouli but at the same time I was happy to hear that she has decided to move on and start over again. Mas maayo nang naa siya’y lain nga kalingawan. Magkita gihapon mi ni Jake usahay ug lami jud kaayo siya putlan ug ulo. Wala jud siya mauwaw sa among pamilya nga nagbalandra siya sa iyang infidelity sa akong sister. Hambugero pa kaayo sa iyang pagka “fuc*boy”. Tungod kay naa pami respeto sa iyang parents nga walay labot sa iyang kabuang, nagpakahilom lang mi para wala nay gubot. We’ve treated their break-up no matter how painful for our family as “good-riddance”. A bit too late for my sister, but at least she’s not bound to him for eternity.
While naa si Riya sa Canada, I’ve met Tristan through a friend. He is tall, handsome, well-mannered, kind and funny. He is my 1st serious boyfriend kay katong uban mga binata lang. Wala palang nako siya gi introduce sa amo-a kay mahadlok bitaw ko nga mapareha kang Jake. Bisan lahi rajud kaayo silang Jake I was reserved sa kana nga area sa akong relationship bisan sige na siya ug pamugos to meet my family. Wala ni siya kabalo sa nahitabo kay Rhianna kay as much as possible we don’t mention my sister’s demise in the hands of a man who we welcomed in our family.
Being with Tristan is like having a best friend. Maka storya ko niya about anything and supportive kaayo siya sa akong mga hobbies and choices. Hilig diay kaayo ko ug mga outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and surfing. I’ve finally understood how it feels to love and be loved in return. He embodies everything I envisioned my future husband to be like and I have hoped for a future with him. In fact, on our 1st anniversary, he gave me a promise ring. Under the stars, he swore his love and fealty.
Bisan pa sa akong carefree bliss with Tristan, I’ve never forgotten my sister. So for the last 3 years since nilarga siya, magulian ko with my parents sa amo sa Quebec to check on her. She’s looked better and happier. Single gihapon siya pero I think nakatabang jud ug dako niya ang familiar environment and ang pag skwela. I’ve urged her couple of times nga mouli kuyog namo. Dili pa daw siya ready. Ug amo gi respect ang iya decision.
Mag 2 years name ni Tristan when I’ve decided to introduce him to the family. Ganahan kaayo silang Tristan kay humble bisan successful na siya sa iyang field. Nakita pud nila that I am cherished by the person I’ve chosen so na at ease rapud sila kang Tristan.
Nag sige ug bisita si Tristan nako every day-off and welcome na kaayo siya sa amo. Bisan amo mga kasambahay ganahan kaayo sa iya kay respectful kaayo. One time while naa mi sa sala naay nikalit…
Riya: SURPRISE!!!
Me: Oh my gosh! Rhianna! Wala man ka nagsulti? Kinsa’y nisundo nimo? Dagko kaayo ka ug bag.
Riya: Ate sad uy, don’t worry about me. I’m a big girl, nag taxi lang ko. MOM!! DAD!! I’m home!!!!
Si Tristan naghilom lang sa kilid nga nalingaw sa sudden hyper activity nga ni unfold since ni walk in si Riya sa balay. And then…
Riya: So…. who’s this gorgeous guy?
Me: Babe, this is my boyfriend Tristan. Honey, ang akong sister si Rhianna. She just came back from Canada.
Tristan: Hello Rhianna, nice to finally meet you. Sige lang ug storya imong ate parte nimo hagbay rani siya nag wish nga mouli ka. (smile)
Wala nakatingog si Rhianna after nila ug shake hands. Mura siya ug na starstruck kang Tristan. Igo lang siya ni smile ug nigakos nako. Then niadto dayon siya sa akong parents who are very excited to see her. Lipay kaayo mi kay naka move-on najud si Rhianna from her heartache but she has changed too much for the 3 years nga nag stay siya sa Canada. Kung sauna grabe ka mauwawon si Rhianna, karon kay halos pareha nami ka outgoing. She’s the life of the party na and she has learned how to hold a decent conversation in a group. She loves being the center of attention. She is very different from how she was before. Na alarm ko gamay kay I know my sister all my life and it felt like she’s putting on a mask. Pero wala lang ko nagsaba sa bisan kinsa kay basin sayop lang ko. After all, people do change, and this is not a bad change so nothing to worry about.
With Riya’s attitude change came her weird obsession with Tristan. Nakabantay ko niya nga if naa si Tristan, magsige jud siya ug duol to the point nga clingy na siya. Pag-una abi lang nako nga na attach lang siya kay Tristan tungod kay buotan ug kuya figure pud niya. Pero kadugayan kabantay ko nga lain najud iyang attachment so ako gistoryaan si Rhianna.
Me: Riya, ayaw kalain ha but nakabantay ko nimo nga sige ka ug duol kay Tristan.
Riya: O? Ngano man diay? Are you jealous?
Me: Not really. Just concern unsa ang imong tumong bitaw. I know you Riya, you are not that type of person but I want to know what’s going on.
Riya: Wala raman. I just like your boyfriend. He is nice and friendly. So don’t fret okay?
Nilabay pa ang pila ka months ug nagkasuod ako sister ug si Tristan. I’ve put away my suspicion ‘cause it’s just not right to accuse my sister of something outrageous as trying to steal my bf.
One day, naghikay mi sa amo as celebration sa pagka promote sa ako kuya to assistant director. Proud and happy kaayo amo family sa iya achievements. Tungod kay family napud ang turing nila kay Tristan, invited pud siya. Sa balay ra namo ang celebration pero ubay2x pud ang invited. While the party is in full swing, busy kaayo mi sa ako parents ug kuya sa pag entertain sa guests ug made sure nga everything is well sa catering. Rhianna is with some of our cousins socializing. Si Tristan busy sad ug storya sa ubang bisita.
Around 12 midnight padulong najud human ang party, the last guests have left. Nangita ko kay Tristan kay ni offer akong daddy nga sa balay nalang siya tulog kay gabii na niya nakainom siya kuyaw if mo drive pa siya pauli. I’ve looked for him all over the house, pero wala ko kakita niya. Nitan aw ko sa driveway ug naa pa iyang sakyanan so ni try ko ug tawag niya. Walay tubag so nag assume ko nga basin niuli na siya nakisakay siguro sa uban bisita.
Padulong nako tulog dihang nakadungog ko ug ungol sa may room ni Riya pag agi nako. Faint ra kaayo siya but enough for me to recognize my sister’s voice. Nakuyawan ko kay basin giurom or naunsa siya. So akong gikuha ang duplicate nga yawi nga naa nako permi kay usahay gamiton man nako iya room if ever naay bisita matulog sa amo. Gadali2x ko ug abli sa pultahan kay nakuyawan ko naunsa ako manghod ug sa pagpasiga nako sa suga, nakit-an nako si Riya riding Tristan cowgirl style in the throes of passion. And I swear to God I’ve heard my heart break to a million pieces at the sight of 2 of the most important people in my life.
Me: Ri??? Tris??? Why???
Igo rako nagtan aw nila nga wala ko kabantay nitulo na diay akong luha. Wala ko kalihok kay halos dili ko katuo sa akong nakit an. Gitukmod ni Tristan si Riya sa kilid ug gadali2x siya ug bangon nga mura ug nahuwasan sa ilang gibuhat.
Tristan: Honey, please I can explain. I’m so sorry… I didn’t…
Ug ako siyang gisagpa ug kusog kaayo halos mabali iyang nawng.
Me: HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE BOTH OF YOU!!
Ug nigawas ko sa ako room only to find my parents waiting outside Rhianna’s door. Nakadungog diay sila sa commotion sa sulod. Pag-abli nako sa door, kita kaayo nga gahubo pa akong manghod ug akong uyab. No one could’ve mistaken what had happened. Gahilak ko nga nigakos sa akong mama while akong kuya nagbaw ug pugong sa akong papa kay iya unta kulatahon si Tristan. Katong nikalma nami sa akong parents, gipanaog mi sa ako kuya sa may lounge room.
Kuya: Tristan, Rhianna, pag-ilis mo ug naog mo after. We all need to talk.
Dugay pa kaayo silang 2 nanaog, nagsabot pa guro to unsa ang ilang alibi. Ako, para nako, wala nako’y pakialam bisan unsa pa ilang isulti. I’ve seen enough to decide. Pagkanaog nila, ni deretso silang duha sa lounge. Si Tristan nisuway ug tapad nako, pero wala mosugot akong daddy gipalingkod silang duha tapad ni Rhianna mag atubang namo.
Daddy: Tristan, I’ll ask you first, what was that all about?
Rhianna: Isn’t it obvious? We’re sleeping….
Daddy: Shut your mouth Rhianna! I’ll get to you. Si Tristan usa ang patubaga.
Tristan: Tito, I’m very sorry. I have no excuse. I was drunk, but conscious enough to know what I’m doing.
Rhianna: See? I’ve told you. It’s not like I’ve slept with a totally inebriated man.
Daddy: Rhianna, what is all of this? Why Tristan? She is your sister’s boyfriend after all.
Kalma ra ang ilang storya pero madunggan nimo sa undercurrent sa ilang voices ang pain, rage ug disappointment. Ug sa dihang…
Rhianna: SHE RUINED MY LIFE!!!!!!!! (gatudlo nako) Kahibalo siya unsa nga klase sa taw ni Jake but she didn’t warn me! She left me to the wolves!
Me: That’s not true Riya. The whole time nga kamo ni Jake, nakita nako nagbag-o na siya. Nga pinangga ka niya. Who am I to judge a person’s past and destroy his future?
Rhianna: And you didn’t care about my future??? Tan-awa ko ate o, no one would take me. Jake ruined me, humiliated me, and left me spoilt that others won’t even dare look at me. Your boyfriend would not have even slept with me, SOBER!
Mommy: Rhianna, asa mana gikan tanan? Even if Jake didn’t end up marrying you, daghan paman laki ang magkagusto sa imo. You are intelligent, independent and beautiful. Jake is not the only man left para imo.
Rhianna: It doesn’t matter anymore. Maayo nalang nakita ni ate nga ang iyang uyab nga perte niyang dayg kay di diay perpekto. Sige ka ug pakipot anang imong lawas gud. Awa, sa lain na nuon nangita ug relief imong perfect boyfriend.
Nidagan ko gikan sa among gilingkuran ug nideretso sa akong kwarto nga gahilak. Di na nako kaya makadungog pa sa ilang mga storya. I can’t bear to look Tristan in the eye and to hear my sister’s tongue lashing like she was possessed by some evil spirit. Grabe niya ka way kaluoy ug uwaw. She felt no shame on what she did. Na guilty ko for not telling her about Jake, and for her turning this way because of what Jake did to her. To be honest, I don’t recognize her anymore. She’s no longer the sweet girl I’ve known. She’s turned into a monster.
Pila ka days nga wala koy gawas2x sa akong kwarto. I can’t face the world. Dili tungod kay nauwaw ko sa nahitabo but because the reality hurts so much. There’s no escape even in my dreams. Kanang paminaw nga maghuot imong dughan permi, motulo lang ug kalit imong luha and mo-knot imong tiyan every time makahinumdom kas mga panghitabo. I cried in my sleep, cry when I wake up, and cry even more while staring at the wall or ceiling. It was on that 3 weeks of pain and helplessness that I’ve realized I can never bring back what was lost. So it’s either I start a fresh chapter where I can dictate my destiny or remain on this painful one and suffer even more.
I’ve decided to finally face reality. Nitawag ko kay Tristan and invited him to have brunch with me. Ganahan ko magkastorya nami once and for all. Pag-abot niya, mailhan nimo sa iyang lihok nga giddy kaayo siya. And he mirrored the same pained look I was wearing.
Tristan: (gikuha akong duha ka kamot ug gigunitan) Farrah, honey, I don’t know how to start my apology. It was really wrong. I was seduced by your sister. I should have been strong enough to say “no”, not even the excuse of alcohol can justify what I did.
Me: Tristan, I know ako jud gidalo nimo ang sex. It is important to me that’s why I was saving myself. Call me old-fashioned or whatever. But what you did… It’s abominable. Sa ako pajud igsuon nga pinangga kaayo nako. I know dili ra ikaw ang dapat pakasad-an ani, apil pud si Rhianna, ug possibly ako, for letting everything happened.
Tristan: Farrah, please…. Let me make this right for you. We can start all over again. That one night with Rhianna meant nothing to me.
Me: It meant everything to me Tristan. It means you are willing to sacrifice what we have for a 10-minute pleasure. Whether gibuhat to nimo with Rhianna or with another woman, it means the same thing. It just hurt more because you did it with my sister.
Tristan: (kahilakon) Farrah, are you breaking up with me?
Me: Yes I am. I am sorry it has to be this way. Love gihapon kaayo tika ug sakit kaayo ni para nako but I need to do this. I can’t take you back anymore. What happened will forever haunt me even in my sleep. And I’d be unfair nimo if moingon ko nga I can start over again with you.
Akong gihikap ang nawng ni Tristan while gahilak kay gimingaw jud ko niya. Bisan pa sa iyang gibuhat, love jud kaayo nako siya.
Me: Tris, even after everything that happened, I still love you. I want to stop, but I can’t.
Tristan: Then take me back please…. (gahilak na siya pag ayo)
Me: It’s not that easy. The pain (ako gitudlo ako heart), it’s not going away any time soon. I need to put myself back together. Maybe then, I can truly forgive you and we can continue where we left off.
Ug nilakaw na dayon ko. Kay any more minute I spend with him, basin mabag o akong mind. Kung akong sundon akong heart, I will stay by Tristan’s side. Whatever he has done, I want to put behind us. But life doesn’t work that way.
So ni decide ko to cut ties with him completely. Nag change ko ug number and deactivated my social media accounts. I know di naman siya kaadto sa amo after what happened.
I’ve spoken to Rhianna a few weeks after ni Tristan. It took me longer to speak to my sister kay I need to have the courage to face her and not try to hurt her in anger. Naabtan nako siya sa living room nagtan-aw ug salida. Mura rajud wala nahitabo para niya.
Me: Rhianna, can we please talk?
Riya: Sure, but before you say anything. Let me tell you something… I’m 8 weeks pregnant.
Me: You know it’s too early to tell if you’re really pregnant.
Riya: Save your breath. I know I am. And we both know who the dad is.
Me: What will you do? Kahibalo na sila daddy?
Riya: (nihilak) I don’t know ate. I’m so scared. I’m not ready for this child. But I need to tell you something pud…
Me: Unsa man?
Riya: I love him. I love Tristan. I’m sorry. Wa nako tuyo-a ate. He was kind to me and I fell for him. That night.. I just didn’t sleep with him for revenge, I’ve seduced him because I love him. I want him mine than yours. (cried)
Me: Oh babe.. (cried)
Naluoy kaayo ko sa akong igsuon. Naghinilakay ming duha. Ug bisan pa nga nasuko ko sa iyang gibuhat, nipatigbabaw gihapon ang among panag-igsuon. I know it’s going to be hard on her. It’s one thing to have a one-night stand with your sister’s bf, but to bear the fruit of that mistake is another thing in an entirely different level. Ako siya giingnan nga nagbuwag name ni Tristan a month ago.
Riya: I know he won’t marry me!!! He loves you and he only slept with me because I’ve seduced him.
Me: Shhhh. That’s enough… We’ll sort this out okay. I’ll call mom and dad para masultian nato sila.
Ug tuod amo gistoryaan among parents. Ako gikuyogan si Rhianna because I somehow know unsa ang mahimong reaction nila labaw na sa akong daddy. Ug wala jud ko masayop, he was mad like a raging bull. Hapit niya masagpaan si Rhianna sa iyang kasuko.
Me: (gialihan si Rhianna) Dad, please… Ayaw intawn pasakiti si Rhianna. She’s with child.
Daddy: Farrah, hawa dira. Kaning imong igsuon ang nagdala aning tanan problema. Unsa naman lang ang isulti sa mga taw nato? First si Jake, niya karon kani?
Riya: I’m so sorry mom and dad. Mobalik ko sa Quebec if it will make things easier for our family.
Me: No Riya. Stay here, walay makaatiman nimo didto. At least diri naa mi.
Daddy: Paari-a tos Tristan. Ganahan nako siyang storya-on.
I didn’t want to see Tristan again but dapat ning storyaan nila sa ako pamilya so I didn’t have a choice but to face him. Ug niadto siya sa balay a week later. Guol kaayo ug nawng si Tristan and he looked like he lost a lot of weight. Nagkasugat among panan-aw pero nilingiw ko. It is still too painful to look him in the eye. I still love him. I didn’t love him any less even after all the days that passed.
Daddy: Tristan, unsa man ang plano nimo ani? You can’t just leave things like this. My daughter and my family’s honor is at stake.
Tristan: Tito, I’m willing to marry Rhianna. I can talk to my parents and arrange the wedding in a week or two while sayo pa sa pregnancy si Rhianna.
Riya: No Tristan, di ni nimo kinahanglan buhaton. I know you don’t have any feelings for me, kaya ra nako i-raise atong anak on my own.
Tristan: Riya palihug lang. Bisan tuod dili ikaw ang akong love, I just can’t let you raise our child alone. I want to be there for our child. Lisod kaayo magdako ang bata nga dili complete ug pamilya. I’ll marry you. I’ve already decided before coming here. In fact…
Ug gipagawas ni Tristan ang engagement ring nga naa sa iyang bulsa. Gi try niya pasul-ob kay Rhianna ang ring. Dili sakto sa finger ni Rhianna ug nitan-aw silang tanan nako, kay kahibalo sila nga katong singsing para ako unta to. Gagmay man kaayo ko ug kuyamoy so di jud matago ni Tristan ang tinuod. Nitan-aw siya nako with this pained expression on his face nga dili jud nako malimtan. Nilingiw ko niya kay dili ko gusto makit-an niya sa akong mga mata nga nasakitan ko.
Tristan: Sorry Rhianna. I’ll have this resized. The jeweler will come tomorrow to have your size. And then we can announce our engagement within the next few days. Just give me time to prepare for the wedding. Okay?
Riya: Yes. Thank you kaayo Tristan for doing this. I promise you will never regret this decision. I will make you learn to love me. Bisan di pareha sa imo love sa ako ate, I’ll be happy to get even just a portion of it.
Didto namo tanan na realize nga inlove jud diay kaayo si Rhianna kay Tristan. Lisod man para sa akong parents makit-an nga nasakitan ko but they also need to look out for my sister. Willing ko nga ni sacrifice sa akong future happiness to give my sister a shot of her own.
A week later, nalibog nalang tanan namong family and friends when they’ve received the invitation for Rhianna and Tristan’s wedding. Nagtuo pa sila pag-una nga nasayop ang invitation kay si Rhianna ang bride ug ako ang maid of honor. We didn’t give them a lot of explanation they can create their own conclusion.
The night before the wedding, sa Shangri-la nag stay ang bridal entourage and a few of the guests. Ang kasal mismo is sa Shangri-la rapud. While naa ko sa may beach nagpahangin around 9PM, nitapad ug kalit si Tristan nako. Mao ni among conversation nga dili nako malimtan hangtod sa kahangturan.
Tristan: Farrah, I’m marrying your sister tomorrow.
Me: I know right? Tan-aw nimo ngano naa ta tanan diri? (smiled bitterly)
Tristan: I love you. Always have, always will.
Me: Tristan, maluoy ka nako. Don’t make me suffer more.
Tristan: Pero mao jud na ang tinuod Farrah. I don’t know if I can love Rhianna. My heart beats only for you.
Me: Ayaw pag-inana Tris, you are going to be my sister’s husband. I wouldn’t want my sister to only be 2nd to someone sa love sa iya husband. You have to promise me to at least try to learn to love Rhianna. She is a good and sweet girl, it will be hard for you not to love her once you get to know the real person behind all those masks of previous hurt. She is beautiful inside-out.
Tristan: Farrah, I know you still love me. Please tell me you still love me.
Me: I’d be lying if I say dili na tika love Tris. I love you still Tristan. But I love my sister too. Tomorrow, I will try to stop loving you because you will then be someone else’s. But for now, let me love you a little more.
Ako gigunitan ang kamot ni Tristan ug ni kiss ko niya. Pagbuhi nako niya, naa sa iyang kamot ang promise ring nga iyang gihatag nako pag 1st anniversary namo. Ug nibarog nako pabalik sa ako room.
Tristan: Farrah, I gave this to you. Please keep it.
Me: There’s no point keeping it. You can no longer keep the promise you gave along with that ring. Tomorrow when you wed my sister, you can give her the same promise. Goodbye Tristan….
That's how I’ve walked away from my 1st love never to return again. Tristan will always have a special place in my life. He has carved his place in blood and tears. But there’s no more bitterness. I have learned to let go of all that ages ago.
I have yet to fully recover from my heartbreak, it’s been 2 years. I’m now based in Berlin. I still go back to Cebu from time to time for important family affairs. Single ready to mingle gihapon ko. I’m just enjoying everything as it comes while I await the person God has intended for me. When that person comes, I hope to have become a better version of myself and be able to love him fully.
Thank you kaayo sa pagbasa. Sorry taas kaayo. Lisod I summarize man.
Farrah

Naging viral ito sa social media dahil naantig ang damdamin ng ating mga netizens:
Dahlia Vilbar: This is by far the most read-worthy story i have read here. A story about relationship between couples, sisters and family. A selfless love from an ate to bunso, a love which is much more thicker than that of special someone. A responsibility that weighs more than two wounded hearts. Salute to the sender for your exceptional love and selflessness!
Hugot Ni Badiday: I don't know but this is worthy of becoming a screenplay. Upon reading your story sender, I have felt the pain you have felt. The strength to let go of someone you love, the courage to take responsibility for other's happiness, the in-depth understanding for the love of family, the woman that you ought-to-be. The soundtrack of this screenplay could be "All I Ask" by Adele. It was a bittersweet goodbye to someone you have always dreamed of but never was. 
I feel your pain. I've been splurge to a betrayal that haunted me even up to now. I don't know if I could ever love someone like him. And I affirm your optimism about life and your grace to stay with life and make it still beautiful despite the pain. After all, it is a beautiful pain. You are truly your sister's keeper. I don't have other wish for you, but for you to find a revamp of your heart's happiness.

Gheo Encenzo: I am a stranger to love for any better half and I still got my heart twisted like it was about to get ripped in pieces because of the pain. Such experience would have left me broken as well if I was either Riya or Tris but what I liked about the story was how all of them was open minded and somehow accepted the problem to resolve the issue. I can see that forgiveness was there and the acts of righteousness. God tends to put us through a lot of painful experiences because he wants us to become stronger. The sins of men such as adultery can be forgiven for God is merciful. Bless these people for living the kindness found only in love for a better half
Lone Walker: I am an only child.. I have no idea what it would be like to have a sibling... but this story surely gave me hints how deep such a relationship could be. The splendid way of writing makes it a worthy tale, full of life's lessons we all could possibly learn from... that the universe could write life's script with unexpected twists and turns. Dili na kinahanglan i summarize pa Fraulein Farrah... easily one of the best submissions of all time here. ..viel gluck..
Jhejhe Limalliv: My goodness!!Im in mixed emotions. For me,it was all your sister's fault. Why is she blaming u after all? You ddnt ruin her life,she ruined yours!Good enough you have a heart like that, your sister must be the luckiest. Sad for you, you have to go through all that pain. I cannot even imagine how u managed to suffer all the pain they've caused you. And for that guy, shame on you! Patuga lng ka, promise2 ring paka dong, papatong mn d.i japun kag lain. I do hope u both have a happy life cause after this,I think most people will curse ur marriage. And to the baby, is ur sis even sure it was really Tristan's? she lived her life in Canada before she went home db? And uve mentioned she was totally different, isnt it possible she also had s*x with other guys she met in parties? It was too good to be true.Well, whatever,they will really pay for it. The fact that they did that in ur own home. It was beyond betrayal. Kaluoy kaau ka Farrah. I just do wish u cam meet soon the man who is rightful for u and worthy for ur love. U are rare. And please, ipalau nlng naz imong manghod.
Mhadelle Pecore Dela Cruz: -you said your still single now and waiting for the right one. But what if tristan was it? And you give up on him because of that one mistake made by your sister's selfishness. By giving him up on your sister do you think they'll be happy? You know it was a one sided love and marriage is forever. They just imprisoned their self in a life long commitment which is one sided how can their relationship survive?? They do and decide things in a hurry. Everyone was still at the peak of their emotions and it could clouded their mind on making right decision. Why they didn't take time to think things up? Thou you think that is the right thing to do but it doesn't guarantee that it would last. I was just worried that, that one decision can make things worst.
Melizsah Angeles Selda: Why do i feel injustice for you? I think itd really Unfair. Bisan pa ug nabuntis imong igsuon i-face niya oi kay owag man to niya, owagon man sya! Baga bya sya ug nawng maskin kahibaw na sya Ng wa gyud maskin gamayng amor niya si tristan. Ug buang sad sya kay si jake man ang naka break sa iyaa unta si jake iyang gi pang himaslan,bugo pd bayhana. Ug honestly speaking did rihana really think marrying tristan is great choice? Tristan will forever be haunted ang long for farrah's love, and she will forever be condemned by conscience(if she have any by the way).even if mahibawan ni tristan about ni jake saon man niya pag relate, siya ba si jake? Rihana your a bitch, you stole your sibling's happiness, you stole her life! I really dont get it, nakaya nimo mag pakasal sa lalaking dli imoa? If i were farrah i will never find the heart to forgive you because what you did is unforgivable. You intended it to happen. Despirada! Mingkatol gyud ng imoa ug hala daun kag sakay, cowgirl style pa. Bwesit!
