"Laki. . ."

As I had remembered the last time I heard her voice was soft and angelic. For this moment was strict and stern.

Humigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa handle ng wheelchair kung saan ay kasalukuyang nakaupo si Laki na nakatapis lamang ng isang puting tuwalya upang matakpan ang pribado'ng parte ng kaniyang katawan.

My cousin, Ate Soldi did not even glanced at me, it seemed like I was invisible as the reason why she had not noticed me yet. The curiosity and longing in her eyes had shown how it glistened as her gaze surveyed and observed Laki's charismatic appearance.

Obviously, Laki was half naked and I could not blame my Ildefonso cousin what was with the sudden change of mood.

I could not even believe something that happened earlier. It was like all things that my palms had touched had turned into something hard with skin of softness.

Abruptly, I let go of the handle of Laki's wheelchair when I had imagined that it was not the handle that I was actually grasping anymore. This was not good.

Could I just forget about it and move on? No, I could not. It was my first time ever at the age of twenty-one. Considering my hands had sinned and far from innocent. How came it felt like I had just caught myself awaken from holding a knife dripping with red fresh blood and stabbed someone multiple times? Accidentally grasping Laki's private male organ felt like I had committed the worse crime an inhumane being could do.

Did my hand just got traumatized by it? If that so, why was I not shaking? His unimaginable private male organ had haunted my sense of touch.

"How did you get inside? There's a doorbell, if you don't mind ringing it."

From being deeply preoccupied, I was back in my senses when I heard the rudeness and insensitivity in Laki's moderate voice.

Tumingin ako sa aking pinsan na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin pinapansin ang presensya ko.

Something was changed in her.

"I'm sorry, I thought I was allowed to get inside freely since the gate is not locked and the door is open," she apologetically said without breaking the tension of their eye contact. "I was used to it before and you don't mind it."

Pakiramdam ko ay wala talaga ako rito. Nakalimutan na kaya ni Laki na nasa likuran niya ako? It was impossible that Ate Soldi could not recognize me? Though the last time I saw her and had a conversation with her was almost six years ago.

Looking at her right now, she appeared like a stranger to me. I knew that she had a pure and kind heart, she helped my brother and that meant she had also helped me. She was generous to us and I would forever be thankful for it.

However, she seemed different today.

I could not deny the fact that she was way better today than before. Maganda siya noon pero ngayon ay mas gumanda ito.

Certainly, I did not envy her. In fact, I admired how beauteous she was, her boldness and bravery. She could get even with Laki's attractiveness.

After surveying my gaze on her physical appearance, I could tell that she can get any man she would like to be with for she was irresistible.

Even Laki.

Watching her stood up from her seat, I brought my gaze down on floor like it was the most interesting thing to stare at.

Ashamed. Why did I felt suddenly embarrassed? Was it because I looked far from lhow pretty and lovely my female half cousins Ildefonso were?

Like Ate Soldi. Her walnut brown hair looked soft with its slight waves. She had those inviting looks of almond eyes that could definitely hypnotize the man she would set her eyes on. Small yet pointed nose, and down was her full sexy lips that I assumed she had probably painted it with nude rose matte lipstick.
