My 15 Brothers And Me [Under Major Editing]

Chapter 9

[ HAIG LUIS ]

"i bet you already know exactly what will gonna happen in this meeting"

dad adjust his reading glasses and sips his coffee. wala ni isa man samin ang nagsalita. Devin just silently resting his head on the table simula nung pagbantaan siya ni haru ay di na siya muling umimik.

"if you have any questions ask me now"

pero ni isa wala pading sumagot. i was about to speak when someone finally spoke up.

"bat ngayon mo lang sinabi samin ang totoo?"

The boy on a leather jacket ask. pain was visible on his voice while asking dad, he tightly grip his cup and breath out.

"i'm sorry phyzer anak hindi ko lang alam kung paano sasabihin sa inyo ang totoo"

"for years dad wala kang ni isang sinabi man lang at ngayon malalaman namin na may kapatid pala ako,kami? and worst may mga kuya pa? ano to joke? ni hindi nga alam nila kuya na may mga bunso sila eh"

Phyzer was a celebrity madalas ko siyang makita sa billboards and magazines. never expect that kapatid ko siya. He is clenching his fist tightly habang sinusumbatan si daddy.

"its hard for me to explain"

"oh cmon dad anong mahirap dun? mamatay kana ba kaya pinagtagpo tagpo mo kami ngayon?"

the man on the left side of devin speak. like phyzer his face shows disappointment.

"naghahanap lang ako ng tamang oras hexion."

"wala ka ngang oras samin eh"

Hexion added. napayuko nalang ang dalawang katabi niya pansin ko lang na masyado silang tahimik pati nadin yung lalaking may galit ata sa mundo dahil sa natatabunan na ang kalahati ng kanyang mukha sa haba ng kanyang buhok ni hindi ko makita kung anong expression niya eh

"i'm really sorry"

"thats all you have to say? sorry?at akala mo ba matatanggap namin kaagad ang isat isa pati nadin ang sorry mo?"

the boy on glasses raise his voice. problemadong hinilot ni daddy ang kanyang sentido habang pinapakinggan ang kanyang mga anak kung ako din ang nasa katayuan ni dad siguro mababaliw din ako.

"eucliff brixon lower down your voice. your younger brother is peacefully sleeping dont make me repeat myself"

kuya levi stated and stare blankly at the boy with glasses wait, how did kuya knows his name?

"how did you know my name?"

matapang na tanong ni eucliff pati nga din ako nagtataka na eh

"i already knew all your existence except for andilyne. dad is good at hiding on his only daughter."

kuya replied. nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya so all these years alam niyang may mga kapatid siya?

"kuya"

"stop it haig fine i will tell you so stop looking at me like i did something unforgivebable."

napaiwas nalang ako ng tingin dahil sa sinabi niya i'm mad at him ni kahit minsan di niya sinabi sakin ang totoo.

"i was 16 back then i meet haru. you are still in new york that time when butler francis introduce him to me. ofcourse i was devastated at that time knowing that father secretly hide him you're 15 and haru was 14 at first i totally reject him to be a part of the family but then i dont have a choice since haru was sick."

lahat kami ay nakikinig lang sa kanya, even daddy.

"then years after i found out that father have so many affairs. i search for possibles answers then finally one at a time i found his other sons. thats why i knew all of them thier faces thier names and even thier works and lifestyles"

never thought that kuya levi will gonna accept this mess that father started.

"you're imposible kuya"

napangiti ako ng mapait habang sinasabi ko yun.

"ni hindi ka man lang nagalit sa kanya dahil sa ginawa niya?instead you just keep it to yourself"

matigas kong saad.

"ofcourse i'm mad haig i'm really mad at him you know we all though. but instead of fighting on  unreasonable things right now why dont you just accept it? our father is a totally a jerk old man but think about how did he try his best to give you a good life in every important days he was there from your birthdays to your graduations and to all of your important occasions he's there right?"

what kuya levi said was true. kahit minsan lang namin makita si dad sa mga importanteng okasyon ay di siya nawawala. still hindi padin nawawala sakin ang pagka dismaya. napatingin kami ng may biglang tumayo sa upuan siya yung lalaking may galit ata sa mundo.

"hunter where are you going?"

malamig na tanong ni kuya levi. nagtaka kami ng bigla siyang kumuha ng ballpen at papel saka nagsulat. teka?? hindi siya nakakapagsalita?

he was focus on writing something down on the paper. pagkatapos niyang magsulat ay hinarap niya samin ang papel

'i'm tired kuya i need to sleep i cant keep myself up so late since my body is weak. i have my sleeping schedule so hope you dont mind i need to go'

yun ang nakasulat sa papel. now that i realize hunter is little bit skinny and pale. napatayo si haru at agad nilapitan ang kapatid he really is a caring person.

"nii-san hunter's complexion are getting worst i really thinks that he needs to rest right now."

"then let him rest for now. samahan mo siya at ihatid sa kwarto  ni andi."

kuya said. haru nodded at inalalayan si hunter papunta sa kwarto, that kid is sick.

"maybe we should continue the discussion later since most of you are stress out. but i'm telling you walang aalis hanggat hindi niyo nalalaman ang isa ko pang dahilan kung bakit ko kayo pinatawag. thats all and you can rest for now."

dad dismiss the meeting and instantly nagsialisan ang mga kapatid ko leaving us 4 me,daddy, kuya levi and ford who's still sleeping soundly on kuya's shoulders.

"haig"

"not now dad please kung si kuya mabilis natanggap na meron siyang kapatid ibahin moko.

"sighs fine then talk to me if you already calm yourself down. aalis muna ako i need to check your sister and your brother hunter."

and with that dad walks away.

"kuya"

"hmm?"

"tell me honestly"

"what?"

"did you really accept the fact that you have so many siblings?"

kuya levi looks at me with mix emotions on his eyes. for the first time kuya openly shows his emotions to me

"what can i do? its still our family and especially its our father's children"

i hope i can easily forgive him for what he did kuya. i hope one of this days i can finally accept that i have so many younger  brothers.
