Balancing The Trials Of Hearts

"Why are you so quiet?" tanong sa akin ni River when he sat on the beach chair beside me. "And you're so red," he said pa and shook his head.

"I'm fine," I said naman and laid down. I still can't forget 'yung nasabi ko kay Trevor kanina sa elevator. Nakakahiya talaga, what if he will assume na I missed doing 'that hot thing' with him? I just really mispronounced the word and nothing else.

"Talise," Yara called me and handed a glass of juice. "Are you sick?" she asked while looking at me. I didn't answer her nalang and look away.

"Dive, there's a chic there," I heard River said naman and pointed someone on the pool and of course Kuya Dive is always on the go because they have the same feather, including Kuya Reef, Surf and of course Kuya Lake.

"I'll get back to my room," Kuya Reef said naman and nagwalk na paalis. Kuya Reef changed a bit and I don't know why. Actually, we are all still confuse kung bakit parang suddenly wala na siyang interest sa girls 'e.

"Let's go," Kuya Dive exclaimed naman na parang he's excited. "Let's go," he said pa and dragged River.

"Where are you going?" Surf asked naman and lowered down his sunglasses. Tumigil tuloy sina Kuya Dive at River when they heard him. "Girl hunting?" he asked raising his eyebrows.

"Yup, why?" Kuya Dive asked naman and raised his brows also.

"Enough," Yara said naman and shook her head. I don't have any idea what's happening. There's something between Kuya Dive and Surf's eye contact. I can feel the tension kahit they're just staring at each other.

"Don't you have a fiancé?" Surf asked his older brother but he just shrugged.

"I do?" he asked naman and chuckled. I saw Yara looks so nervous naman. "Whatever, she's not here so I'll just have fun," he said pa and continued to run papunta sa may pool with River. Tumingin ako kay Surf and his eyes were on fire, he looks so scary.

"Surf," Yara called her older brother naman. Surf wasn't looking at her and he was just staring where Kuya Dive and River are. "Cassius Surf Ecthelion!" she shouted pa kaya agad na nagturn sa kaniya si Surf.

"What?" he asked naman and wore his sunglasses properly.

"Why are you like that?" she asked naman. "He's still our Kuya why are you raising your voice to him?" she asked pa, forehead furrowed.

"Stop meddling with my business and actions, Yara," he said calmly naman and stood up. "An older brother doesn't act like that," he said pa and nagwalk na siya paalis.

"So, annoying," I heard Yara complained naman and rolled her eyes. "I really need to relax," she said pa and laid down agad sa kabilang beach chair. "Having brothers were so exhausting," she added pa and wore her sunglasses.

"Imagine having problematic chic boy brothers," she continued pa and shook her head.
