Lizzie's World 🌍😜

Chapter 38

"Kain muna uli", Dex told Bry and Allan.

"Ako iidlip muna. Past my bedtime na ito. Mabigat na talaga ang mata ko", sabi ni Allan.

"Magpalit ka muna ng tuyong damit Kuya. Ikuha kita ng kumot", Dex said as he went out of the pool and went to the big house to get the night supplies. Ok. Kumot and unan. Then went back to the deck and gave it to Allan.

Then sumubo muna sya ng kanin at ulam. All nighter yata talaga tong si Kuya Bry. Dami pinoproblema, hehe. Then he open another san mig lights and joined Bry in the pool, giving him another bottle.

"Ang simple lang ng pool mo pero tubo ka na sa pagbili mo neto", Bry told him.

"Haha. Oo, kuya. Sulit na sulit na talaga", natatawang sabi ni Dex.

"Ikaw ba Dex, hindi mo naiisip ang mga ganito? Wala kang namimiss? Hindi ka bored?", Bry asked him ng sunud sunod.

"Ang tanging namimiss ko lang Kuya eh yung mga site visit. Nung wala pa ito, minsan I joined Ninong A sa site visits nya. Si Pareng Jun ganun din lang ang ginagawa. Normal naman yan. Ang tawag ni Aira dyan, cooped up in the house. The walls are closing out on me. Mga ganun, haha", natatawang sabi ni Dex. Namimiss nya tuloy si Aira, hehe.

"So, anong ginagawa nyo pag ganun?", he asked Dex.

"Punta sa mall. Or kain kami sa Lanai. No major plans kaya may pasok pa ang mga bata", Dex said as he took another sip from his bottle.

"Kaya nga inaya ko na kayo ni Kuya dito. Minsan, ganyan, the walls are closing out on me, tama si Aira", Bry said.

"Baka you need to see a professional", Dex said, sabay tingin sa Kuya nya when Bry scoffed at him.

"I'm not crazy", he said.

"Grabe sya. When I went to Doc Jen, hindi naman ako crazy nun", he told him.

"You went to a professional?", he asked him.

"Oo. Kami ni Aira. Nung panahong sobrang hindi ko na alam how to deal with my problems. Normal lang yun Kuya. Hindi naman mga crazy ang nagpapa consult sa kanila", Dex said.

"I'll think about it", he said.

"Sabihin mo lang saken. May ini refer akong bata dun eh. Classmate ni Lizzie. Totally devastated dahil sa divorce ng parents nya", Dex said.

"Ha? Ilang taon na yun?", he asked him

"11 years old. We met him and his Mom. Kami ni Aira. Okay na yung bata. Ah, work in progress pa sya pero mas okay na sya ngayon", Dex said.

Bry only sigh.

"May bago bang padala si Roger Kuya? Kung gusto mo ako muna ang pupunta sa shop. Two times a week. Kahit 3 times a week tutal gabi naman ang trabaho ko kay Jared", Dex offered.

"Thank you pero daming dapat i-consider before I can have a vacation", he told him.

"ikaw Kuya", Dex said.

"I wanted to be alone if I will have a vacation but Kate might think I don't want her with me. I have a lot of things in my mind. Once I reached my goal, I wanted to have another goal. That's what keeps me going. Pag medyo plateaued na, that's when I feel like this. I want to be challenged. Yung business with Roger, that was a new thing to me but since pare pareho na ang ginagawa, I get bored. I get tired of it", Bry said.

Dex just allowed him to talk, just listening to him.

"If I didn't meet Kate, I'm sure one of the richest na kami sa Australia or the US. Sikat na sikat na. Dun pa naman they will publish your name, plus maraming interviews. Elbow to elbow with the rich and the famous. It would be amazing, di ba?", Bry said, with a dreamy look on his face.
