NOT A RIVALRY

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

NAIA'S observant eyes landed on her brother when she reached the kitchen first thing in the morning. What happened last night made her anxious that she barely had enough sleep. Naia knew that her brother's gang and Callen's gang got an issue but she didn't know what's going on between Callen and her brother for him to asked Callen's number.

All Naih know is that her brother and Callen isn't really in a good terms ever since she can remember.

Last night was a blast, out of shocked she didn't knew she already gave Callen's number to her brother without even thinking. She is that shocked that her body and mind moved on its own.

Kinakabahan siya sa kung ano man ang balak ni Noah, hindi ang tipo nito ang basta nalang manghingi ng number nino man nang walang mabigat na dahilan kaya alam ni Naia na may seryosong kinakaharap ang kapatid. Ayaw niya naman ipaalam ito kay Naih, knowing her baka magkaroon lang ng misunderstanding or worst magkakagulo lang. Though nagtataka lang siya kung bakit kailangan pang humingi sa kaniya ng number ni Callen si Noah, parang imposible namang wala itong number ni Callen.

Naia shook her head and pulled out from her reverie when she heard Noah's voice.

"Quit staring Naia, come here and have a breakfast." Noah said still eyes on his food. Naia didn't know how her brother managed to know she was staring at him even without looking at her, she's amaze though, always.

Looking at her brother Naia could tell that he looks normal, when she said normal means he still has his indifferent face. He seems like he doesn't have problem at all.

Napabuntong hininga siya at umupo nalang para makapag breakfast, medyo late siyang nagising kaya nauna ang dalawa. Inalis niya nalang sa isip ang nangyari kagabi at pinilit ang sariling paniwalain na baka school matters lang ang dahilan kaya hiningi ng kapatid niya ang number ng Student Council President nila.

Sabado ngayon at nagkataong pareho silang tatlong walang pasok, sina Naih at Naia ay kahapon pa nakapag-usap kung ano ang plano nila ngayong araw, pupunta sila sa mall para bilhin ang dapat nilang bilhin. As for Noah, hindi nila alam kung may lakad ang Kuya nila but knowing how lazy he is baka magkulong lang ito sa kuwarto buong araw.

They were silent the whole duration of their breakfast until Naih broke it as she asked Noah.

"Kuya may lakad ka ngayon?" Ani Naia at pinagmasdan ang Kuya na kasing bagal na yata ng pagong ang pagkain nito, tapos na siyang mag breakfast at patapos na rin si Naia na nahuli pa sa kanila pero itong Kuya nila naka focus nga ang atensyon sa breakfast pero kung kumain naman parang napipilitan lang sumubo.

"I'm visiting someone." Tanging sagot nito na mabilis namang naintindihan ng dalawa kaya hindi na sila nagtanong kung saan pa ito pupunta.

"Pupunta kami sa mall, may ipapabili ka ba Kuya?" Paalam ni Naia sa Kuya, ayaw na ayaw kasi nito na umaalis sila nang walang paalam.

"Nothing." Simpleng sagot nito. "Be careful." Dagdag pa nito.

Napatango nalang silang dalawa kapagkuwan ay gumayak na nang sa gayon ay makapunta na sila sa mall.
