“Anong nangyari sa inyo? Bakit basa kayo?” Kuya immediately asked when we got there, his eyes were fixed on Zuella’s while his talking to me. His jaw clenched and suddenly pulled me towards him.
“What did she do to you? Answer me, Vanessa!” my furious brother’s fist clenched as he looked at Zuella angrily. The hell is wrong with him?
Natigil sa pag lalaro ng volleyball sina Stan at ang mga babae dahil naki usyo sa nanyayari. Zuella’s brows furrowed as she stared back at my brother confidently.
“Anong ginawa mo sa kapatid ko? Sinasabi ko sa ’yo Zuella. Lokohin mo na lahat wag lang ang kapatid ko.” galit niyang sambit making me gasped and embarrass at the same time.
Hinawakan ko ang dibdib ni kuya to make him stop, yumuko ako dahil sa hiyang naramdaman. “Kuya, it's not what you think..” I urge him but the brute didn't listen. Lumapit siya kay Zuella at kinwelyuhan ito.
F’ck! She's a freacking girl yet she's been treated this way. Walang ginawa sina Felix at Stan making my brows crumpled. “What the...” Mahinang usal ko nang masaksihan kung paano naging aggrisibo ang galaw ni kuya palapit kay Zuella.
“F’ck Kuya stop?! Ano bang problema mo?” nag madali akong lapitan siya upang mapigilan sa ano mang binabalak niya kay Zuella. At ito namang si Zuella hindi man lang nag salita upang ipagtanggol ang sarili. Sh’t this is stressing me out.
“Kuya, ano bang iniisip mo? Zuella help me okay, muntikan akong malunod dahil nahulog ako sa may rock formations, you do know that I don't know how to swim! Mabuti na nga lang at naroon siya to help, tapos pag bibintangan mo siya ng masama! How could you be so mean?!” paliwanag ko sa aking kapatid, pansin ko ang pagiging normal ng pag hinga niya.
Kaya binitawan ko na siya at hinarap si Zuella na titig na titig sa akin, na conscious tuloy ako bigla.
“Tsk. Umayos ka Montes, alam ko baho mo.” burarang sambit ni kuya while looking at Zuella. Does he just mentioned Zuella’s surname? And what's with her baho? I mean alam kong hindi siya specifically ‘baho’ though what does he meant by that?
****
Hindi nag tagal umayos na ang tensyon sa pagitan ni Kuya at ni Zuella, mabuti na lang talaga ay hindi pumatol si Zuella. Sadyang naging mainit ang ulo ni Kuya Vincent, he told me earlier about his own problem. He even asked for an apology.
“I apologize on what I did, Vanessa. I have gone mad, that's why.” he sincerely asked for apology yet I am not the one who needed his apology.
“Kuya, what you did was wrong. Definitely wrong. Ano bang kinain mo’t, you confronted her nang walang basehan?” nasa likuran kami ng cottage, tapos na kaming mag lunch at nasa may tabing dagat na ang mga kaibigan ni kuya except kina Zuella at Felix na nag uusap roon sa may coconut tree.
“I know I’m at fault okay, but you can't blame me for being so protective of you. You're my sister, Vanessa. Hindi kita dapat hinahayaan lang sa tulad niya.” he mumbled seriously, his expression lace with love and a bit of care.
