My ARAH

Chapter 16

Russell's POV

Did she just call me Sel? Only Dad called me that. But after he died, no one called me Sel again. Because I didn't allow them. When someone call by that name I'll get angry or sometimes I throw things when no one around me.

"You ok Bro?" My sister ask me, she know it very well because she's with me everytime I throw tantrums.

"Yeah." sagot ko sa kanya at nauna ng pumasok sa sasakyan. Sumunod naman agad sya.

"You sure? We can skip class if your not ok."

"I'm fine Jie really. I don't know why I'm not feeling angry or anything when she called me by that name. Siguro ay dahil ngayon ko nalang ulit narinig na may tumawag sakin sa ganyang palayaw ko."

" Oh baka naman nagustohan ang tumawag sayo."

"What?"

"Hahaha, come on Bro. Every time na may tumawag sayo ng ganong palayaw mo, you always throw a tantrums. Don't you remember, you almost break Mom's favorite Antique Vase na binili nya through Auction in Singapore."

"And what are pointing?"

"That you like the one who called you Sel."

"..." nakabuka na ang bibig ko at handa ng sumagot pero hindi ko alam kung bakit parang bigla yata akung nawalan ng sasabihin.

"See, you don't know what to say. Admit to yourself that you like Lili Marble."

Mahabang sandali ang nagdaang pananahimik namin habang nasa gitna kami ng byahe papuntang Marble University. Pero pansin ko parin ang titig ng kapatid ko sakin. Hindi talaga ako titigilan nito hanggat walang makukuhang sagot.

" Fine, I don't know if I really like her okay." wala na akong magawa kundi ang sagutin sya. Nakita ko namang nakangiti syang sumandal sa pinto na kotse at humarap sakin.

"Why you don't know. Eh ako nga napapansin ko eh ikaw pa kaya?" nakangiti sya sakin pero makikita sa mukha nya ang pagkalito.

"Maybe because, I'm just curious about her life?"

"You like her, so it's natural to be curious about her life."

"It's not that okay. Its just that pagkasama ko sya o sya ang kaharap ko nakikita ko ang pagkatao ni Light sa kanya. At kung si Light naman ang kaharap ko nakikita ko si Lili sa kanya. Its complicated ok."

"Oh shoot brother you're really in trouble. Ngayon palang isipin mo na kung sino talaga sa dalawa ang nagugustohan mo dahil komplekado talaga yan."

"I don't know what to think anymore. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit naiisip ko na baka kambal silang dalawa eh."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because they have so many similarities. They also have the same eye color."

"They are? But Lilis eye color is Black and Light are Dark blue. What are saying?" mukhang hindi nya rin napansin ang tunay na kulay ng mga mata ni Lili.

" I know that Lights eye color is Dark Blue and so is Lilis eyes."

"But how do you know Lights eye color? Have you seen it?"
