Brother's Love

chapter 10

Nike's pov.

"Baby, i think it would be best if you go home with them. I can't leave knowing that you'll be alone here. Unsafe."

I look at ashie's reaction. while looking at her reaction i saw a different ashie, not the one we met yesterday.

This guy must be her boyfriend.

Tumingin naman kaagad saamin yung lalaki at tinanguan kami, kaya agad din namin itong tinanguan.

"Let's go home, athena." Agad na sabi ni baeu tsaka hinablot ang braso nito pero nagpumiglas pa din ito.

"No, just give me time. I'll just talk to my BOYFRIEND." Binigyan nya ng diin yung salitang boyfriend at binawi ang kanyang braso.

Baeu just sigh at defeat, knowing that he can't do anything about her decision. He's powerful but can't even do anything when it comes to our decisions. That's baeu, our big brother.

Tumango na lamang ito atsaka sinenyasan kami para lumabas. We waited for her outside.

Ashie got me more interested to her now.  pero nakakapagtaka at hindi man lang nagalit si baeu sa lalaki kanina? I don't think it's because she's scared that ashie might do something to him once he do something to that guy. He could've just punch that guy and get ashie, but he did nothing at all.

Plus, how did he know about ashie's address.

Flashback ...

We were all in the leaving room, except ashie. It's 11:00 p.m already, i wonder what her up to rn, is she asleep na ba? Idk. Baeu is busy with his laptop, while yung tatlo naglalaro. Ako naman, nakaupo lang, pinagmamasdan sila. I wonder, what if beau let ashie stay with us, would things be different? I think so.

"I'll go check athena." Biglaang sabi ni baeu atsaka tumayo pero bago sya umalis may tinanong muna ako.

"Were you allowed to do that?" I ask him. Gumuhit yung pagtataka sa mukha nya pero agad din naman nya akong sinagot.

"Who would get mad if i go check her up?" Tanong nya pabalik.

"Her mismo." Sagot ko nalang.

"Why would she get mad?" Tanong nya ulit.

"Because she hates us?"

I said, not knowing if that's a question or a statement.

"I doubt that." Umalis sya kaagad matapos sabihin yon.

His last statement stun me for a while.

Anong ibig nyang sabihin?

I look at the boys, they're still playing, i don't know if they heared our conversation earlier. But i doubt that, they're too busy beat each other in game.

Bigla naman akong nakarinig nang yapak, yapak na nagmamadali kaya agad ko itong tinignan. It's baeu and his face?

"What's with you? It's like you saw a ghost. what's happening?" Nag-aalalang tanong ko.

"Athena." Agad na napatigil sa ginagawa yung mga kapatid ko at tinignan ito. We're all waiting for him to continue what he was saying.

"Athena's not in her room." Gumuhit ang pag-aalala sa mukha ng lahat.

"Where is she?" Agad na tanong ng kambal ko.

"I don't know. Does anyone have any idea kung nasaan si ashie?" Tanong ni michael.

"Where do you think she is now?" Chris ask too.

Riel and I stayed quiet while everyone is almost in panic.
