[But Kuya! You know how important this event is! You should be there] he said and all could do was to massage my temple and sigh.

"I know but I have something very important to do, I know she will understand that. I'll be there at her wedding, promise!" I replied to him.

As soon as I heard him sigh, I knew that he couldn't do anything at all. All he knew was to surrender.

[Okay! I'll tell her that you can't come] he said then bid his goodbye.

I parked my car, put my shades on tapos lumabas ng kotse.
