Apa Artinya Uncle

"Hector, totoo ang sinabi ko sayo. Gusto kong magka-in love-an tayo, at magkasama nang seryoso, tulad ng magkasintahan, mula sa pagiging estranghero hanggang sa magkaintindihan tayo. Gusto kong maranasan yung pakiramdam na pantay tayo. Ikaw si Hector, bilang si Hector na asawa ko at hindi tiyuhin ng ibang tao, at ako si Anne bilang si Anne na asawa mo at hindi kasintahan ng ibang tao. Mag-ipon tayo ng mga alaala, isang taon, dalawang taon, tatlong taon, sampung taon, kung okay lang sayo?" Inabot ako ni Hector at hinila para umupo sa kanyang kandungan, at sinabi nang mahinahon "Okay, pero, love, wala akong karanasan, kailangan mo akong turuan pa. Pero..." Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya ni Hector na biglang huminto at hinaplos ang kaniyang maiinit na labi sa gilid ng aking mukha "Pero... Pagdating sa pagkahulog, dapat ang lalaki ang mag-initiate. Maghintay ka lang, susuyuin kita."

Nauwi sa isang gabing pagkalimot ang dapat sana'y pagpapalipas lamang ng sama ng loob ni Margaux dahil sa sakit na dulot ng kanyang kasintahan. Ngunit ano ang gagawin niya kung malalaman niyang ang lalaki pa lang nakakuha ng kanyang iniingatang pagkabirhen ay uncle pala ng kasintahan?

"Lisa?" I croaked, barely able to form words, my voice hoarse and weak. My heart had leapt at the sight of her, a moment of hope flickering through the haze of fear. "What's going on? Why... why are you here?" But the look in her eyes, the cold amusement that twisted her lips into a smirk, had stopped me short. It wasn’t concern. “Why am I here?” she had repeated, laughing softly, as if the very question was absurd. “Oh, Anna, sweet, naive Anna. You still don’t get it, do you?” I had stared, my mind unable to keep up, still too clouded with hunger and exhaustion. “What... what are you talking about?” And then, her voice had changed, hardened. “I’m the reason for all of this. The reason your father’s company collapsed, the reason your family is dead, the reason Josh betrayed you. Me.” After discovering that her best friend, Lisa, isn't the person she thought she was and is the reason for most of the disasters in her life, Anna dies, only to wake up five years in the past. With a second chance, Anna is determined to protect her loved ones and take revenge for the pain Lisa caused.
