Glad That You Exist

CHAPTER II ⚜ Sibling Goals

Onyx POV

"I prayed to Him, for me to find you. The one that makes me feel, the feel of being loved, that euphoric feeling. And now, you are already here. Standing infront of me." He's crying and sobbing while saying this.

A guy, crying infront of me. With a blurred vision of his face, but a clear physical features; matangkad, maputing balat, those beautiful fingers holding my hands tightly but giving me warmth feeling. Who is this guy?

"I searched everywhere, just to find you. I waited for you." He bow down, still crying and sobbing. Without a second, he hugged me tightly."Oh God, Thank You!"

Naramdaman ko nalang na nabasa ang balikat ko. He's still crying, but why I feel this feeling. The belongingness and happiness. The overflowing feeling of love. How come?

Until he break that hug. He carefully cares my cheeks, wiping my tears. Im crying too? The hell?

Napamulat ako ng mata ko dahil sa maliit na kamay na lumalamukos sa mukha ko. What was that? A dream? Again?

"Tito! You're awake now!" He was shouting while clapping, like he won in a raffle,tingin nitong biik na to sa akin? Premyo?

"Yes, Im already awake! Why are you here babe?" Humiga pa ako sabay hatak na payakap sa kanya. I miss this kiddo, the biik of our family.

"De said I should wake you up, its already dinner time po," nagulantang naman ako sabay lingon sa bintana at sa orasan na nakalagay sa tabi ng kama ko. Its already pass 6pm.

"Oh! Sorry, nakatulog kasi ako. Go downstairs, I'll be there in a minute. Okay?" Pinisil pisil ko ang pisngi nito.

"Okaaay po!" By that, he left my room. Dragging his minion splushy. So cute.

Napahilamos nalang ako ng mukha ng maalala ko yung panaginip ko. Again? A strange dream appears again, I cant remember when was the last time I had this kind of weird dream. And I have a bad feelings about this. Shit.

A stranger, in my dream appeared. But I cant remember his face, but only his voice. His face is blurred. Made in japan? Ewww.

Iba iba naiisip ko. Malala na 'to. Maybe I'm just hungry. Yes, gutom lang to!

*Tok! Tok! Tok!

"Nyx! Kakain na tayo! Halika na!" Sigaw ni Nanay Loida. Napahaba na ba ang pagmumuni muni ko?

"Opo, ito na po." Sabay kamot sa ulo ko, ginulo gulo ko nalang ang buhok ko dahil sa mga naiisip ko. Gutom lang 'to.

"Jusko! Susmaryosep kang bata ka! Bakit ganyan itsura mo?" Gulat na mukha ni Nanay Loida ang bumungad sa akin ng buksan ko ang pintuan ng kwarto ko."Mukha kang ginahasa! Mag ayos ka nga!"

Natawa nalang ako dahil sa sinabi nito. "Nako Nay ah! Kahit ganito itsura ko, tignan mo, aminin mo! Mukha akong Anghel na bagong gising!"

"Oo na! Mukhang Anghel! Amoy mula sa kailalim laliman naman ng lupa yang hininga mo! Nakakaloka ka!" Natatawang banat nito sa akin na nauna ng bumaba.  

Inamoy ko naman bigla yung hininga ko. "Nyaaaay! Wala pong ganon! Mabangooooo!" Sigaw ko sa kanya pabalik, saka sumunod pababa sa dinning area.

After our dinner. Naisipan ulit naming tumambay sa pavilion, habang nakaupo sa hagdanan nito, tanaw ang payapa at tahimik na langit.

"Are you sure you want to take over the Leal Corp Nyx?" Biglang tanong ni Kuya sa akin habang nagbubukas ng isang beer can.

"Dad wants me to do it, you know that Kuya. Kahit umayaw ako, nakapangako na ako sa kanya. And I dont break my promised." Nanatili parin akong nakatingala sa langit.
