The Reality (MSF book2)

Chapter Twenty-Six

Justine Angelica Lazaro

It's good to be back. Yeah! Nasa Pilipinas na ako ulit, wala eh. Na-ho-home-sick ako, kaya eto deretso uwe. Pinilit pilit ko si daddy ng isang linggo para lang pumayag siya, ang kapalit? Ayun! Walang kapalit, he realized daw kasi na bata pa ako sa office works. Kaya ko naman yun, gusto ko ngang hawakan yung branch namin sa Laguna eh. Pero ayaw niya. Ang daya ni dad. Super.

"Ate who's house is this?" Tanong saakin ng kapatid kong si Mosh. Binaba ko muna ang aking salamin at yumuko. "This house is not familiar, is this our second house?" He asked again. Di pa ako nakakasagot eh.

"Mosh, this is not our second house. This is not a mansion, can't you compare it to our house in Makati? You think pareho sila?" Tanong ko pabalik sakanya. Hindi naman kasi kagaya to ng bahay namin sa Makati. Ang layo layo kaya.

He pouted his lips and look outside. "Well ate, why would I compare it? Kahit naman po this is not look like mansion we're still in here. Alangan naman pong the owner of this house just gave us permission to come in? So this is our house." Ok? Oo nga naman. Sino nga bang nagpapasok saamin dito? Wala.

"Ok fine. Total kila ate naman to, saatin na rin." Sagot ko sakanya at bumalik sa pagbabasa ng dyaryo. Siguro naman hindi na siya magtatanong niyan? Dami tanong eh, wala na akong maisagot.

"Ate? You mean si big sister?" Tanong niya. Tumango lang ako at hindi siya tinapunan ng tingin. "Why? Is she not going to sleep in our house anymore? Why does she have her own house? Why didn't she tell mommy and daddy?" He frustratedly asked, i look at him and ano pa nga ba? Tantrums. Ganyan yan, nagmana kay ate.

I pinch his cheek and look into his eyes. "Mosh, ate Dennise is going to marry soon. Kaya daddy and mommy gave her a house, well it's not a permanent house. It's just dito muna sila uuwi to get to know each other." I explained. "And yeah! After the wedding diro na titira si ate Dennise."

"Then why didn't ate tell me about this?"-Mosh

I rolled my eyes on him and laugh softly. "You know what? Just ask ate, go wake them up in their room. Para makilala mo kung sinong ugok ang nagpa-ibig sa big sister natin." Natatawang sabi ko at inikot siya patalikod.

Well, ate and Aly doesn't know na nandito na ako sa Pinas. Hindi rin nila alam na nandito kami ni Mosh. I want to surprise them, hindi rin nila alam na nasa tune up ako last 2 days. Matagal na yun. Ang tanong may masakit pa ba saakin? May kirot pa ba?

To tell you honestly, meron. Malaki, malaking karayom ang nagpapadurog sa puso ko pag nakikita ko silang sweet at magkasama. Pero ok lang yan, mas ok ng harapin ko ang mga kinakatakutan ko. Para sa mga darating na araw na ma-inlove ako ulit, atlist alam ko na kung ano yung feeling. May hugot lahat ng sasabihin ko. Kaya bawal ang hopia! Choooos.

Yes I was so stupid to do that thing. I love Aly at the same time I love my sister. Dennise is precious, why? She's my hero, she's our everything. Walang halong sama ng loob, because she's the star in our family.

Award collector yan simula mga bata pa kami, talented pa. Sweet, caring, protective and hardworking, ano pa ba? Basta madami pa, for me Im her number one fan. But now... I don't know how to face them both. Kinakabahan ako eh. Hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari pag nakita nila ako. Hindi pa ako handa, pero nandito na ako. I need to face them both.

"Mosh it's too early, ate big sister is still tired." Rinig kong sabi ni ate Den. I smiled as I heard her morning voice, may kasamang pag hikab pa iyon. Mag tatanghaling tapat na. Tagal naman nilang natulog.

"Ate you were sleeping with ate Aly." Mosh said with a loud voice, lagot ka Dennise. Baka magtantrums na naman yang maliit na yan.

"And sow?" Ate Den
