Description

Nangako si Seulgi na hindi niya tataluhin yung kinder crush ng pinsan niya. She made one deal to honor it.

Foreword

“Are you sure we need to do this?” Tanong ni Irene.

“I think this is the only way to resolve the problem. Dibs ng pinsan ko si Joy.” Kaswal na sagot ni Seulgi habang inaabangan mag-green ang traffic light.

“You do note na in love sayo ang kapatid ko?” Tumingin si Irene sa driver. “And as far as I can see, you feel the same way for her. So why the ruckus?” Tinaasan niya ito ng kilay.

“Okay, Marga. Here’s the thing.” Tumingin din si Seulgi sa mga mata ni Irene. This time, she knows she needs to explain, itong ate ng best friend niya ay masyadong maraming tanong. “My cousin had dibs on Joy since we were kids. Technically, siya ang nauna.”

“Eh ano ngayon kung siya nauna? From what I suppose, kindergarten love affair lang naman yun.” Trying to think logically, parang may sapak yung kausap ni Irene in her defense.

“She made me promise, di ko siya tataluhin when she went abroad. She told me to take care of Joy no matter what.” Naririnig na ni Seulgi yung busina sa likod niya. May mga ilang seconds na rin pala na nag-green ito. She hurriedly shifted the gear and went onto drive.

“So why am I in the picture anyway?” Naiiritang tanong ni Irene. This meeting seems to be dumb as she anticipated it to be.

“Because I can help you. It’s going to be a win-win situation.” Napangiti na lang si Seulgi. She knew there had to be risks in this.

“How will pretending to be your girlfriend help me in any way?” Sumasakit na talaga ang invisible bangs ni Irene. She technically grew up with Seulgi since sobrang close nga nito sa kapatid niya. At one point, she thought Seulgi is cute. Pero being a dakilang ate, she just kept it to herself.

Hininto ni Seulgi sa curb yung kotse. She seems unfocused in driving, kaya minarapat niya na lang na tumigil. She pulled the hand break and looked at Irene intently. “Mababawasan yung umaaligid sayo. At the same time, Joy would hate me for being with you, giving my cousin the opening to win Joy.”

Napaisip saglit si Irene. It isn’t bad of an idea. Sa sobrang dami ng nanliligaw sa kanya, it has come to the point na nagiging problema na siya. She just wants to live her college life in peace. But she cannot do it lalo na kung in between her breaks, ang daming umaaligid sa kanya. Seulgi is right. This wouldn’t hurt. Besides, it’s just pretend. “Okay, I see it’s beneficial to me.”

“So it’s a deal?” Inalok ni Seulgi yung kamay niya to shake.

“Until when?” Tinignan lang ni Irene yung kamay ni Seulgi.

“Just after maging sila Joy and Wendy.” Mabilis na sagot ni Seulgi.

At dun na nga, they shook off the deal. Napaisip lang si Irene. It’s really a win for her, pero paano naman si Seulgi? Saang banda ba dun ang win for Seulgi?

Chapter 33: I remember reading this during the pandemic, lockdown era. The updates, pinakahihintay ko. Reading those updates, pahinga ko. Pero things happened and I got super busy and ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng time na bumalik sa pagbabasa. After a year (?) ngayon ko lang natapos ‘to, but after rereading yung mga naunang chapters. Nandoon pa rin yung feels, very nostalgic yung feeling kasi I remember na every small details pinapansin ko noon. Inooveranalyze ko yung mga actions ng bawat character. I just think na dahil din ‘yon sa way ng pagkasulat, kasi makukuha talaga yung attention mo, and it would make you READ. Super worth it yung pagbalik dito. Thank you for sharing this with us, author! I missed your stories, late man pero congrats pa rin po for finishing this. I hope you’re doing great po!
