My 15 Brothers And Me [Under Major Editing]

Chapter 63

[ANDILYNE DAVE]

The dinner went well. Its not the usual chaotic atmosphere since i guess most of my brothers are not comfortable having one relative in the family again. Napapansin kong hindi masyadong kumakain yung batang babae, she just stared at his delicious meal at kanina pa nakayuko, is she afraid? Kuya Thallos also notice it kaya kinausap niya ito. I was in the middle of slicing my steak when suddenly the girl sob. Lahat kami ay napatigil sa pagkain including kuya Lev. We divert our attention sa bata na ngayon ay yumuyugyog na ang balikat

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Alalang tanong ni Kuya Thallos, Mas lalong umiyak yung batang babae na ikinabahala ko. I suddenly stand up on my chair at pinunasan ang aking bibig gamit ang table napkin at pumunta sa direksyon nina Kuya. The moment i reach her spot i crouch down leveling her and hold her cheeks. She flinched a little bit pero hinayaan niya lang ako

"Honey what's wrong?"

I smile warmly at her at pinunasan ang kanyang mga luha, she didnt speak but she stared back at me

"You dont like the food?"

She shake her head slightly, pinunasan ko ang luha niya gamit ang aking panyo at inayos ang magulo niyang buhok.

"Then what's wrong? You're not hungry?"

Nanatiling tikom ang kanyang bibig pero kalaunay nagsalita ng mahina

"I'm scared"

She mumble softly. I chuckle a bit and caress her shiny hair.

"Dont worry these people wont hurt you honey. They are kind"

"Pero nakikita ko na ang sama ng tingin nila sakin"

Kumunot ang noo ko at tiningnan ang aking mga kapatid at tinaasan ng kilay, agad naman silang nagsibawi ng tingin at pinagpatuloy ang pagkain. Mga pasaway

"Nah, wag kang matakot mababait ang mga yan sinisigurado ko"

I hold her hands and its shaking and cold. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at inaya siyang tumayo

"Come and sat down beside me, if they glared at you again tell me ok?"

She nodded. Pinandilatan ko ng mata ang mga kapatid ko. Kuya Thallos just smile at me. Inalalayan ko ang bata patungo sa pwesto ko.

"Hiro, will you please sat down beside kuya Thallos for now?"

"Alright ate"

He respond in a low tone at tumayo sa pwesto niya, dala ang kanyang plato he sat down beside kuya and start eating again.

"No staring kuya's"

I repremanded umiwas lang sila ng tingin at nagsikain ulit. Takutin ba naman ang bata sa tingin?

*********

"She was kidnapped and torture"

I froze on my seat when i heard it. Pagkatapos namin kumain ng dinner ay nagsipuntahan na sa kanilang mga kwarto ang bunso naming mga kapatid leaving us the elders in the living room. Kuya Thallos were standing while holding his wine glass habang ineexplain ang totoong nangyare sa pinsan namin. Para akong sasabog sa galit dahil sa narinig at nangyare sa kanya. She was so young to be traumatize at hindi ko mapapatawad ang sino mang lapastangan na nanakit sa kanya

"We already know who's the traitor in the empire and she was used and kidnapped 13 years ago"

napahinga ako ng malalim habang nakikinig lang. Wala namang imik ang mga kapatid ko at hindi ko alam kung anong iniisip nila
