Balancing The Trials Of Hearts

"Tanan?!" they immediately shouted when I told them. I shook my head naman agad. We're now sa room nina Kuya Cyon at Cash, Kuya Reef, River, Tide and Yara are all here. Hindi na namin iniform 'yung other cousins namin kasi baka Kuya will find out.

"Bakit?" Cash asked naman as she sits properly sa bed nila ni Kuya Cyon. "Baka maglive-in ang mini-mean niyo," she said pa and placed a pillow in her lap.

"Tanan 'yon, seb," Trevor said naman and held my hand. "Tatakas kami 'e," he added pa.

"What's tanan?" Kuya Cyon and Tide asked in sync. They look at each other and rolled their eyes.

"Tanan, um...Run away," Cash explained naman agad and they both nodded lang naman. "So? Bakit nga, seb?" she asked Trevor naman. "Pwede naman kayong magsama nalang," she said pa and shrugged her shoulders.

"That's not the issue here, Cash," I told her naman and sighed. "We need to stay away muna for the mean time," I said pa and shook my head. "Kuya Lake..."

"That bitter asshole," Kuya Reef exclaimed naman and shook his head. "Tsk, what did he do again?" he asked pa na parang he's mad.

"Until now, he still doesn't want Trevor to be with me," sabi ko naman. "He says na if Trevor won't stay away from me, he'll do something na to separate us."

"That bitch," Yara exclaimed naman and sat properly. "Don't be afraid, Talise," she said and tapped Kuya Cyon's shoulder. "We have Kuya Cyon," she said pa and smiled.

"So, what's your plan?" Kuya Cyon asked naman before laying down sa may pillow na nasa lap ni Cash. "Spill it, we'll help you," he assured pa and nodded.

I bit my lower lip before ako mag-talk. Trevor squeezed my hand kaya tumingin ako sa kaniya and he's smiling widely. "Kuya, we wanted sana to stay away muna like what I've said. We just don't know where to go na hindi kami mahahanap ni Kuya," I explained pa.

"We all know, Lake," Kuya Reef said naman bigla. "He's really overprotective when it comes to Talise and besides we know naman na he has many connections din, he's an Ecthelion din kaya," he stated pa and all of them nodded naman na parang nag-aagree sila.

"Besides, sometimes talaga we all know how garapal Lake is. No doubt na he got that attitude of his fathe—" River didn't continue what he's about to say kasi Kuya Reef stepped on his feet. "Sorry," River apologized naman agad and made a peace sign.

"Kuya Lake is like that talaga," Yara agreed naman. "We can't deny that, he has his own ways to get what he want or just to make what he wanted to happen," she added pa and shook her head.

"I know a place," Tide said naman bago siya nagsit sa side ng bed nina Cash and he sat pa talaga near kay Cash. We all turned to him. "In your old house," he said and turned to Cash. "He knows you hate that place that's why that place will never cross his mind," he reasoned out pa. "Right, cutie?" he asked Cash's opinion pa.
