"Nakikiramay ako." I can feel the genuineness in her voice. Caressing my shoulder while saying so.

"I'm fine, thanks." I plainly said but I really appreciated that.

"No, I won't let anyone other than me to take over my father's position in the company!" I protested with dried tears on my cheeks.

"But you are still not allowed, you don't know anything yet about this and you're still a minor." My parents' personal lawyer said.

"My dad has taught me enough to continue this, I may look small to you but my brain is not." There's no way I will give my parents' businesses to our distant relative.

I promise that I'll not let the murderer get away with this, my parents were too good to deserve that.

Hindi sila matapobre, kaya hindi ako naniniwalang may magagalit sa kanila.

"We have to fake your age to do what you want, all of the written will of your parents about their businesses are given to you, you just have to give it to a relative as you are waiting for your right age." I shook my head.

"I might be dead as well by that time." I'll manage to do schooling while operating a business.

I know how to do it already.

"Kreigh, tara umuwi na tayo." Usal ko at umupo na. Lumingon ako sa kaniya na walang imik at nakitang tulog siya.

Kanina pa ata kami tahimik kaya inantok na siya.

Should I wake her up? Eh parang komportable naman siyang nakahiga rito.

Hindi naman kami mapapahamak dito di ba? Is it really okay to stay here over night?

"Kreigh, gumising ka." Pamumukaw ko sa kaniya pero hindi siya nagising.

Nakakakonsensiyang manggising ng masarap na ang tulog.

But why did she even sleep here?

Damn, mukha ba 'tong kwarto?

Fine, let me also sleep here.

Kasama ko ang parents kong nasa langit.

Nahiga na ako ulit at bumalik na sa inaalala kong scenarios.

Takot talaga akong ipagkatiwala sa iba yung business ng parents ko eh, baka kasi patayin din ako nung pinagkatiwalaan bago ako maging legal age para tuluyang wala nang taga pagmana.

I was startled by Kreigh's cough, inobserbahan ko siya at hindi na ito naulit.

Mas naigtad pa ako nang biglang may pumulupot sa bewang ko...

at kamay 'yon ni Kreigh.

"Hey, maybe you're already awake, let's go home." Ani ko at inalis ang kamay niya para lang ibalik niya ulit.

She didn't open her eyes, instead she snuggled into me even more. 

"Siguro gusto mo lang akong mayakap kaya ka nagtutulug-tulugan, I know it already Kreigh." I commented.

I don't think she's feigning asleep, tulog talaga siya.

Tinanggal ko ang kamay niya at marahan na binalik sa tamang pwesto nito. Umusod ako palayo nang kaunti para di na siya umabot dito.

Babalik na sana ako sa paghiga nang maalala kong madali pala siyang nilalamig.

Kung magkasakit siya rito edi kasalanan niya kasi antukin siya.
