7: J or I?

Chapter 7: J or I?

___________________

"Ice, thank you..." sabi ko at lumabas na ng taxi. I'm so exhausted but I enjoyed his company. "Thank you for accompanying me today, I appreciate it."

Tumawa siya, "Wala 'yon!" hinarap niya pa ang kamay niya at winasiwas 'yon.

"Mag-ingat ka pauwi ha?" sabi ko at tumalikod na.

"Huy! Kiss!"

Napatingin ako sa kaniya ng mabilis, "A-ano? Sinasabi mo ulol? A-at saka... 'Wag ka ngang maingay! Natutulog na ang mga tao." Sabi ko at binalikan siya't hinampas.

"A-aray! Ang sakit!"

"Sabing 'wag maingay eh!—"

"Oo na po, sige mag-ingat ka mahal kong disney princess."

Tinignan ko siya ng masama, "Uwi na ha."

Tumango naman siya at dahan dahan naglakad ng paharap sa taxi ng biglang may tumawag sa kaniya at mukha siyang kinakabahan. He's losing control. Winave na niya ang kamay niya't pinaandar ang taxi niya. Hindi ako mapalagay.

Ngunit dali dali akong pumasok sa condo ko para hindi na ako mag-alala. "Okay lang kaya siya?" tanong ko sa sarili ko pagkasarado ng pinto. "He's so sweet... ack."

"Who?"

Shit! That voice...

I couldn't move. Para akong nastuck sa kinatatayuan ko. Ayaw ko pa siyang harapin dahil nasusuka ako sa ginawa nila sa'kin.

"To who... Jasmine?" he asked again but this time with authority.

"K-kuya..." I nervously uttered.

"Hmm...." Hindi ko makuha yung paa ko sa kinatatayuan ko pati nadin sa mata kong nakatutok sa vase. "To who... again Jasmine Leiah Andar?"

One thing's for sure, my Kuya's angry. But why would I be affected? Duh! He's not even fair to me!

"W-What are you doing here?" I forced myself to be stoic and serious. "How did you get in... Oh right, you have spare key."

Fuck that spare key.

"Is it bad to visit my sister?" he asked sarcastically.

Kailan pa siya naging sarcastic?

Yumuko ako at pinaglaruan yung kamay ko. "No... but look at the time Kuya! It's already twelve midnight!" Umupo naman ako sa sofa at tumahimik.

"Exactly!" Tumaas ang tono ng boses niya. "I warned you to not party, go out with a boy or man whatsoever. But you did! Ganiyan ka ba ka sutil at ayaw mo akong pakinggan? Nag walk out ka pa kanina! You're unbelievable!"

Tumawa ako ng pagak, "Oh really?! Ako pa ngayon ang unbelievable! I'm not invited nga eh sa so called family bonding ninyo! You didn't bother to tell me!" I shouted.

"It was our plan!"

"Plan what?"

"To surprise you!"

Suprise your ass.

"So?" I asked him nonchantly, rolling my eyes.

"Leiah!" he shouted at me leaving me speechless.

"Leave...." I said, shivering.

He looked at me with so much anticipation. I know kuya, he want to comfort me but he knows I'm raging mad. "B-But I waited for so long!"

"Did I tell you to wait?" I asked stoically.

"Damn, you're answering me like that. Pinagmamalaki mo 'yong kasama mo? O yang dine-daydream mo? What about me? Us?" tanong niya ng puno ng sakit.
