CHAPTER 8: "My Sister"

Chapter 8

Halos mag aalas dose na ako ng maka uwi dahil may dianan pa ako agad akong binuksan ng aming kasambahay ng makarating ako sa gate namin akala ko ay tahimik na ang lahat hindi pa pala dahil nag di dinner pa pala ang pamilya ko

"Ma,am na sa dining table po sila, ikaw nalang po ang hinihintay" i almost rolled my eyes ng sabihin iyon sa akin ng kasambahay sino ba naman kasi ang maniniwala na hinintay ako nila

"Ah sige po manang" despite the irratation i still manage to reply with respect with the one Im talking nag lakad na ako papasok ng bahay ng marinig ko ang tawanan nila mama, papa at ate since open ang dining namin at makikita mo talaga ito pag dumaan ka paakyat ay sumilip muna ako and then again it hit me I was expecting that they really waited for me only to be surprise na hindi man lang sila nag abalang mag hain ng pinggan sa upuan ko funny how i expect again with things like this only to end up this appointment

"Cathy nandiyan ka na pala?" nakangiting sambit ni ate napansin niya pala ako, I fake a smile and look at her

"Nakarating ka na pala" I warmly said

"Welcome back ate" i said and walk straightly to the stair my tears flow again they didn't even bother asking me if I have already eaten but whats the point I would lie anyway but somehow it would be nice if they ask me that I directly open the door to my room and lock it I open my bag and get the instant noodles I buy earlier on my way home from grocery store and walk toward my study table my room is small compared to my sister but I still manage to fit my small size drawer I buy before so I can put necessary appliances, my room was like an apartment since this is where I eat sometimes instead at the dining table sa baba my room's bed is beside the door the door is facing my drawer of clothes and appliances while beside the drawer is my study table and infront of my study table is my bed it was a small room so kunti lang ang napag kakasya I actually prefer a queen size bed but since maoocupy nito ang buong silid at wala na akong mapaglalagyan ng iba pang gamit I didn't bother to change it its also my bed since I was a kid so I prefer to keep my bitter memories I walk to my drawliances short for drawer appliances I open it and get the heater out so I can boil a water for my cup noodle when its done I put it back again then put water on my cup noodles and wait for 3 minutes before eating I sat in my study table and start eating even though I'm already upstair I can still hear the laughing sound of my family downstair so I put my headset on my ear so I wont be bother by them I continue eating but I guess the sound of the music isn't loud enough kahit full volume na ito cause I can still hear them siguro kailangan ko nang ipa sound proof tong room

After eating ay humiga na ako after a minute ay nakatulog na ako

"Hey wake, wake up" I slowly open my eyes when I heard a deep voice of a man I suddenly got up when I see Ezekiel on top of me

"What are you doing here?" I ask as I get up what is he doing in my room

"What do you mean, of course I came here to see you" he smile at me and walk toward my study table and get a plate of bread and a cup of choco drink "here's your breakfast" he said while handing me my breakfast

"They let you in, really" I ask really confuse

"What do you mean?" He ask na nagpakunot sa aking mga noo did he sneak in here how did he know my house anyway "did you sneak in here?" Litong lito na ako kung paano siya naka pasok

He laugh so hard making me more confuse "nah pinapasok ako ng ate mo" with what he said ay naka hinga na ako ng maluwag most likely my sister would let him in

"Nangangalay na po ang kamay ko" sabi niya sa akin na nagpagising sa akin oo nga pala he was handing me a bread inabot ko ang plato at ipanatong ito sa hita ko tiyaka ko naman hinawakan ang cup at ininom ito "thank you" I smile warmly at him at inubos agad ang breakfast ko
