His Eternal Love

Veinte Tres

Endgame

I looked at my reflection in the mirror in front of me.

I cutted my hair. Before, Hanggang bewang ang buhok ko. Ngayon, Hanggang leeg na lang.

I pouted.

Na-broken kasi ako.

"Hey, Why are you pouting, Vanya?" I almost jump in fear when someone speaks from my back. "Ops, I didn't mean to scare you." He said and half laughing.

I rolled my eyes. "You already did, Patrice."

Yup, it is Patrice. It's been a three days nang makitira ako rito. Actually, I don't want to be here at first but, Pinilit nila ako.

At first, Decline. But now, I'm here with their house.

He chuckles. "I'm sorry, okay? And, You should apologize for what you did last time."

My forehead creases. "What the hell did I do?"

He rolled his eyes in a boyish way at animo'y nagsusuplado. "Well, My girl just got jealous of you and she is not talking to me because she's mad at me, as if ako ang may kasalanan. Gawain ba 'yun ng matinong kapatid?" Napadaing ako nang pitikin nito ang aking noo.

Napatigil ako sa sinabi nito.

He is right, What he said is true. We are siblings. Not step-siblings but totoong magkapatid.

Even I already saw the DNA test I still want a words and explanations from Mommy. But, Not now. I still don't want to see her.

I slapped his hand. "Stop it. And, You should be thankful nga e. And, You said na nagselos siya which means she likes you too!" Tumili ako na kinangiwi niya.

I can say na medyo nagiging mas close pa kami dahil sa paglagi ko rito. Sila Tita and mayor, Mas nakikilala ko din.

They are kind and sweet kind of parents. They are strict but not too much. What I love about them is their sweet gestures.

Nandyan 'yung habang kumakain kami ay pinaghahain ni Mayor si Tita at sinusubuan pa ito. Lagi pa silang holding hands kapag magkasama.

They are very far from Mommy and Daddy.

"Enough with your kalokohan. Tara na, Kakain na." He said and guided the way to the kitchen.

When we got there they are already eating. Nandon sila Tita, Mayor, And Kile.

"Sit here, Van." Napangiti ako nang ipaghila pa ako ng upuan ni Patrice. Gentleman naman pala ang gago.

Narinig ko ang pagtikhim ni Mayor kaya nabaling ang atensyon ko sa kanya pati sila Kile. "So, How's your stay here Vanya?" He asks while smiling.

He already healed from those wounds and bruises he got when He and Tito fights while I haven't heard any news from Tito and Mom.

But I know their doing great. Lalo na't magkakababy na sila.

Ngumiti ako. "I'm fine and thank you for allowing me to stay here, Tito."

He chuckles softly. "Silly you, Tito? C'mon, Call me Dad if that's okay with you. You can stay here whenever you want. Lastly, just inform me if you want something."

I nods.

"Ako din? Dad, I want the lastest IPhone thirteen." Wika ni Kile na ngumunguya ng pancake. "And, I'm with honor again this quarter, Dad."

Mayor-Dad wiped his mouth with table napkin and smiles. "That's great but asks your Mom first, Diba wife?" He held Tita's hand.

I looked at their holding hands. I suddenly remember someone who also do it too. When we are watching TV, Travelling, Walking, even when we are sleeping.
