OS #1: Chain Of Restrictions

4th Restriction

Mine

Since that day, I have been calling him 'Hugh'. Which made my parents think it was weird, cause I never called him anything aside from 'Kuya'. And speaking of the devil. He's sending me daggers while half-running towards me.

I'm currently outside our house.

Sinusubukan ko kasing magdrive ng motorcycle scooter namin na Honda Click 150i. It's Saturday, so I got the time to spend. Ang boring kasi kanina eh kaya napagdiskitahan ko itong subukan.

"Leigh! What the hell are you doing?" He angrily asks as soon as he reaches me.

Pumunta siya sa aking kaliwang banda tas hinawakan niya ang harapan at likuran ng scooter upang ibalanse ito. Para na niya akong niyayakap habang nasa gitna ako ng dalawa niyang mga kamay.

Napairap ako ng muli niya akong tingnan ng masama. Galit naman agad! I'm just trying, what's so wrong about it?

And goodness, I didn't even get to start the engine!

"You're just 16 years old! What are you thinking? You're not even wearing a helmet. Pa'no kung mabangga ka? Ano, durug 'yang bungo mo?" Seryosong saad niya na tila tinatakot ako.

Grabe naman to, durug agad?

Tiningnan ko siya ng masama. Ang unfair ah. Siya na 17, nakakapagdrive na ng sasakyan. Ako na scooter lang, di man lang pwede?

"You're also 16 when Dad teaches you how to drive the car! I'm just trying to learn how to ride the scooter, not the car!" I answered back, but it seems that it's a wrong move.

His jaw moved in a harsh way which made me stare at it. I noticed that he has a small visible stubble, where it actually looks cute on him.

When I raised my looked into his eyes, he was also staring at me. Ang kanyang mga abong mata ay pinapakita ang kung ano ang gusto niyang sabihin.

Para siyang batas na dapat sundin! Grabe naman makatingin 'to!

"Does Mom even know about this?"

Hindi ako nakasagot roon. Iniwas ko ang aking tingin at napakamot sa batok.

I heard him let out a low groan as a reaction. "You know what? Get off."

Suminghap ako at naging alerto.

He kicked the stand of the scooter and held both of my arms, he then tried to pull me off from the scooter.

Sinusubukan kong alisin ang kanyang kamay sa akin pero hindi ko matanggal-tanggal iyon! "H-Hugh! No!" I pleaded at him but his ears were closed. I found my hold onto the scooter.

Hindi ako bibitiw!

"Leigh! Isa!" Naiinis na banta niya.

Bakit ba?! Gusto ko kang subukan ah, di naman ako mamamatay kung sasakay ako nito.

Natatakot akong napakagat labi. "Why can't you let me ride it? Turuan mo na lang ako!" I yelled.

His hold started to loosened. Napabuntong hininga ako.

"Okay, Fine! I'll teach you!" Napipilitan niyang saad.

His was so strict but when he saw how happy I was, his face softened.

Binitiwan niya ang scooter at umatras. "But! Before anything else, wear the helmet first." He instructed me to go to the garage and get a helmet.

Tumakbo ako papuntang garage and get a helmet, where there are piles of displays. Masayang tumatakbo ako pabalik sa kung nasaan siya. While running towards him, a small smile made to his lips.
