Scent Of Consanguinity (Book 1 of Scent Trilogy)

Kapitulo 02

"Ma, papasok ka?" I asked my mother while she's preparing food for us.

"No," She answered. "Dito lang ako sa bahay."

"You gonna be alone here. Anong gagawin mo?" Dave asked.

Junilo Dave; My moreno brother. Have the nicest and sexiest smile with his nice lips. Matangos ang ilong, matangkad at may magandang pilikmata. Fringe cut hair and have a perfect teeth. Actually for me, he's the real definition of matangkad na payat. Has a dark brown eyes. And has an infinity tattoo♾ on his earlobe. He also has a "Lugen" cursive small tattoo at his wrist. My second born brother is chinito. He's the thirteenth born of Allena's third Generation.

"Maglilinis?" Patanong na sagot ni Mama.

"Bakit? Nasaan ba si Matmat?" Tanong naman ni Vinzent na tinutukoy ang bunso naming kapatid na nasa dalawang taon pa lang. The last born of Allena's third Generation.

Jon Vinzent; also, a moreno. Pareho kaming tatlo ni Dave. Si Matthew lang talaga ang maputi sa amin. Matangkad at matangos ang ilong ni Vinzent. Has a small infinity tattoo♾ on his earlobe and a "Lugen" cursive small tattoo on his arm. Brown eyes pero chinito. Wavy hair, umiigting ang panga at 175.26 centimeters naman ang kanyang height. Grade eleven pa lang 'yan, ah.

"Hiniram ni Tita Clarise niyo si Matthew." Mama answered.

"Kawawa ka naman, Ma," Pang-aasar ko at pinatuloy ang pagkain.

"Cleaning is better when no one else is home."

Nagmamadali na naman kaming kumain ng mga kapatid ko nang marinig namin ang pag tunog ng sasakyan ng pinsan kong si Edmar sa labas kaya nagmamadali kaagad kaming tumakbo pagkatapos kumain. Nag unahan pa kami ni Vinzent sa shotgun seat pero sa huli ay talo pa din siya, ako ang nauna.

"Ang bagal niyo, ah. Male-late na na naman ako sa inyo!" Ani ni Edmar at nagsimula ng magmaneho.

Edmar Jephson; The first born of Allena's third Generation and also Tito Jephyri and Tita Achi's first-born son. He has a light skin. Perfect eyebrows. Matangos ang ilong at gwapo na pinakamatangkad sa Allena. Nice biceps. May moon tattoo sa ilalim ng left earlobe niya katulad ng kay Chin. Has a fringe cut hair. With perfect set of white teeth. Very tall na may perpektong panga at ngiti. 190.5 centimeters ang height. Number one Varsity and MVP. He can sing for you until you reach cloud nine pero yung buhok niyang parang astro boy. Lead vocalist ng Chrysanthemum and he is also good in drawings. He is currently studying fourth year in Architecture.

Wala naman kaming masyadong ginawa sa first day of school. I know iba na talaga kapag college na at ang hirap din humanap ng kaibigan sa field. I'm taking Biology. Hindi ko alam pero mukhang nasa twenty lang naman kami ng mga kaklase ko sa first class, hindi ko alam sa susunod pero walang kahit ni isa sa kanila ang lumapit sa akin.

I'm used to it kasi ganyan din sa senior high sa California. Lahat sila puro masasama ang titig sa akin pero hindi man lang ako kinabahan. Kung masama ang titig nila sa akin, pwes, ako din. Labanan pala ng kamalditahan hanap nila, eh, nung tinaas ko na kilay ko, umiwas sila. I don't care If I don't have much friends, atleast I have cousins.

"Maica!" Napatayo ako sa sobrang lakas ng sigaw nang may tumawag sa akin.

Paglingon ko sa entrance ng Magis ay tumakbo ako kaagad ng makita si Nicole. Nagyakapan kaming dalawa habang tumitili after two years without seeing each and communicating. We always shared some events of our life that gives significant and just a memory. It makes my heart warm when she kissed my cheeks at nagkunwari pa kaming nandidiri sa isa't isa sabay tawa.
