Chapter 17:
Dinner date?
..."Liam Luiz! You should be careful! What if Stella's spine is broken ha?! You want her to die?!" Galit na sabi ni Rui kay Lui.
"I..I'm sorry, Enzo." Umiiyak na sabi ni Lui habang naka luhod sa harap ng kuya niya.
"Gosh this kid!" Galit pa rin na sabi ni Rui and ginulo yung hair niya. "Do you know how heavy you are?! Tapos nag land ka pa sa likod ni Stella! Do you know how painful it is? Ha, Liam Luiz?! Para ka na ring nahulog!" Galit na sigaw niya. Nakaka takot siya. Kung ako si Lui, tatakbo na agad ako and mag tatago sa room ko.
"Rui, tama na--"
"When you play guns, stay on the ground, okay? Para wala nang mahuhulog like just what happened a minutes ago." Madiing sabi ni Rui kay Lui.
"Y..yes." Sabi ni Lui.
"Wipe your tears." Utos ni Rui kay Lui and agad naman itong sinunod ni Lui.
"Lucius, water." Sabi ni Rui kay Lucius and agad din naman niya itong kinuha and ibinigay kay Rui yung water. "Drink." Sabi ni Rui kay Lui and mabilis niya itong ininom.
Nung naubos na niya yung water, binigay na niya kay Lucius yung glass and pinunasan ulit yung tears niya.
"Go back to your room." Sabi ni Rui.
"But--"
"No buts. Go back to your freaking room. Luiz." Madiing sabi ni Rui and tinuro yung door.
Mabilis na tumakbo si Lui palabas ng play room and narinig naming sumara yung door ng room niya.
"Rui, tinakot mo yung bata. Sana pinagsabihan mo nalang siya in a calm way." Sabi ko.
"Sinong magiging clam doon?" Tanong niya. "Oo nga, safe siya pero ikaw? Spine 'yon, Stella. Spine!"
"Nakaka takot ka kasi e." Sabi ko and kinain yung fries na binigay ni Lucius.
Pina-kalma muna niya yung self niya then lumapit na siya sa akin. "Anong masakit sayo?" Tanong niya.
"Back and chest ko." Sabi ko.
"You want us to bring you at the hospital?" Tanong ni Lucius and sinubuan ulit ako ng fries.
"No na. Okay lang naman ako and hindi naman malala." Sabi ko.
"You want to lay down?" Tanong ulit niya. "Let's go to Enzo's room. His bed is big."
Tumingin ako kay Rui and naka tingin lang siya sa akin. "Yeah, let's go to my room muna." Sabi niya.
"Okay lang ak--"
"Stella, we'll bring you to the hospital or you'll go to Enzo's room?" Tanong ni Lucius.
"Enzo's room." Sabi ko.
"Okay. Let's go." Sabi niya and tumingin kay Rui. "Enzo. Lift her up." Sabi niya.
"I'm not your slave to follow your command." Sabi ni Rui.
"Stella is bigger than me. I can't carry her to your room! Use your brain, Enzo. Use it." Sabi naman ni Lucius kay Rui.
"Your words. I'm older than you. You talk like you're talking to a child ah? Respect your older brother, Lucius Louie." Madiing sabi ni Rui.
"Sorry, Enzo...sir." Sabi ni Lucius. Takot na sila pag tinawag sila ni Rui by their full name.
Lumapit sa akin si Rui and tinulungan akong tumayo. Nakaka-lakad naman ako pero masakit yung likod ko. Parang natusok ako sa bones ni Lui. Mabigat siya pero payat naman siya and kumakain siya ng marami pero hindi siya tumataba.
