Chapter 1

Fabio

"Kuya, do you need help?"

"No, kaya ko to," my brother said habang tinatanggal yung diaper ni Amari. Raki was still asleep, probably tired last night because Amari pulled an all nighter.

Kuya Falco was so afraid to hold her feet and prevent her from moving that much para hindi na kumakalat. Kami kami lang din ang nasa bahay dahil naglunch date sila Lolo kasama sila Tita Meryl.

"Kuya marunong kaba talaga? Gisingin na kaya natin si Ate Raki?" Fel exclaimed.

"I can do it, Raki needs some rest and sleep," he said. Amari moves a lot and cries a lot especially kapag pinapaliguan sya. Her small feet kicks really strong.

"Wala namang epekto yang pamarakas mo Fred, it just adds up to the noise stop it," I told Fred trying to distract Amari. Tumigil naman sya at tumabi sa'min.

"Papa, do you really don't need help?" Aldie doubtfully asked him. Nilingon n'ya si Aldie.

"I can son ok? I just want to be really really careful. She's just a fragile infant," he said. It took him twenty minutes to finally finish.  Buti nalang at tumitigil sa pagiyak si Amari kapag naririnig boses ni Aldie.

"Kayo magluto na kayo don," he told us.

"Imbis na magasikaso pinanood nyo ko," singhal n'ya sa'min. Dali dali naman kaming nagsikilos. Apparently Ate Gema resigned because she's going back to school again and she deserves it, the company is going to help her as a result of all her efforts in helping us.

We cooked some tinola with malunggay, Lola says Raki needs to eat lots of soup and malunggay para dumami yung milk n'ya.

Maya maya lang ay bumaba na si Raki at kumain na kami, I'm glad she was able to teach us how to cook simple meals but her food is still in another level.

"Hello my baby girl how are you? Did Papa do great taking care of you?" She talked to Amari and Amari—as if she understands, answers with her mouth opening up and pouting.

"Right our baby?"

Nagsasalitan si Kuya at Raki sa pagbabantay kay Amari, and also Aldie and us but most of the time silang dalawa. Then, kapag may pasok si Kuya nandito sila Tita Meryl.

After having lunch they went back to their room dahil medyo malamig sa may living room, I received a message from Kuya Nicco. Nagpapasama, I don't even know where.

"Kuya sama!" Felix immediately volunteered nung sinabi kong aalis ako. Syempre nagisip isip ako, sometimes Kuya Nicco just wanted to hang out and I really have to stay all day with him partying in bars dahil busy mga kaibigan nya so if I bring Fel hindi n'ya ako maisasama sa mga lugar nayon.

"Tara, dyan lang kayo. Just tell Kuya Falco pagbumaba sya kasama namin si Kuya Nicco," bilin ko sa dalawa.

"Take care," saad ni Fred.

"Ingat," Frett shortly said.

"Where are we going Kuya Fab?" Tanong ni Felix.

"Kuya Niccs," I told him. Tumango naman s'ya, dumeretso kami sa Garcia's cuisine. Nandoon daw s'ya may kameeting. Pagpasok ko, si David lang pala kameeting n'ya.

"Oh kumusta ang Kuya mo ijo?" He asks me.

"He's doing fine. Both as a husband and a father," I told him. Natawa naman s'ya sa sinabi ko.

"I always knew your brother would be great in both of those fields. Tell my regards," he says before he left us kasi may vip guests pa sya na dumating.
