FIGHT - 1

FIGHT - 1

After what happened, Dorry didn't spoke to her mom which is part of her pride. While she's eating in front of her parents, she wished that her older brother could reach their dinner.

She felt suffocating because of her mother's silent treatment. And thank God her wishes came true when her brother entered the dining room.

"Hey, people! What's with the silence?" he instantly noticed.

Umupo ito sa katabi ng bakanteng niyang inuupuan at bahagya siyang siniko.

"May ginawa ka na naman, ano?"

Sinamaan nya ito ng tingin at sinipa ang paa sa ilalim ng lamesa.

"Wala ka na don, kuya." saway niya at itinuloy ang pag kain.

Maya-maya'y biglang nagsalita ang ama niya sa seryoso at may babalang tono. Kung mas nakakatakot ang ama niya, mas lalo naman kapag ang ina na nya.

"So when are you gonna stop making fights, huh?" her father placed his spoon and fork beside his plate with force. Causing a loud sound between the silence that surrounds them.

"Ilang beses ka pa ba paulit-ulit na bumalik sa Dean's office sa pakikipag-away mo? Ilang beses ka na rin naming sinabihan, Dorry. Hindi ka pa rin ba natututo?!" he continued. "You're not a guy, Dorry! You're a girl! And a girl must be behave! So stop causing fights--"

"Enough, Dad!" nagulat si Dorry sa biglang pagsigaw ng kuya niya.

Binalingan niya ito at nakita niyang nagtatagis ang bagang nito at masama ang tingin sa ama.

"It's not that Dorry is always at fault! We didn't even know the whole story! You didn't even let her explain her side to you two! She's just a kid! A seven-year-old kid! Don't consider her as the same age as me! She's not yet a teen that already know what's right or wrong. So please don't yell at her. And instead, go yell at me. I'm the older one so I'm responsible for all her mistakes." dire-diretsong sabi ng kuya niya at binuhat siya saka umalis ng hapag-kainan saka nagtungo sa ikalawang palapag ng kanilang bahay.

"You didn't have to do that, kuya. Sanay na ako kay mommy at daddy. They didn't listen to me anyway."

"Shh," hinagod ng kuya nya ang kanyang likuran habang karga-karga pa rin sya nito. "It's okay, beb. I'm here. Kuya's here. Ready to listen to you."

Niyakap nya ng mahigpit ang kanyang kuya. "Salamat, kuya Branden."

"It's nothing, beb." ibinaba sya nito nang makarating sila sa kwarto niya. "O sya, mag toothbrush ka na at matulog na para mas tumakad ka pa at lumakas."

Tumaas ang sulok ng kanyang labi. "So I could beat all those bad guys?"

He chuckled. "Yes, beb." nakipag fist bump sya dito at hinalikan siya sa nuo. "Night, beb. Love you."

"You too, kuya! Love you!"

DORRY woke up early as always everytime when it's weekdays. She's not a princess to have a nanny to wake her up and prepare food for her or have a driver to bring her to school.

And at her age, she's already independent to herself. Maybe because her parents is always busy all and no time for their children so she grew up taking care of herself.

Her brother was also busy with his college life and to his girlfriend. He always left early in the morning because his school was 20 miles up to their house.

"HEY! Tough girl!"

Napalingon si Dorry sa tumawag sa kanya. Yung lalaking niligtas pala nya nung isang araw.
