IT'S ALREADY DINNER TIME.
I woke up from my sleep, it's 7 pm. As soon as we arrived from school earlier ay kaagad akong natulog dito sa aking kwarto.
“ Aya! Bumaba kana, kakain na!” pagtatawag ni mama. I gazed up to my ceiling for a few minutes and suddenly remembered the news from Borongan's Facebook account.
It was still vivid. Naaalala ko pa yung hitsura nung babae, parang may sumaksak sa kaniyang tagiliran pero hindi galing sa kutsilyo o sa ano mang patalim. Parang masyadong malaki at matalim...
Urgh, why does it repeatedly keeps coming back to my mind? I want to forget about it asap. I went down while dozing off. “ Aray! Hoy babaeta, tingnan mo nga yung dinadaanan mo!” sigaw ni tukmol.
“ Tsk, fragile. ” I laughed sarcastically. “ Don't you know how to say sorry?” he said raising his voice. Naiinis siya dahil sa inasal ng kapatid.
“ If you're planning to fight each other then continue it later. The food is waiting. Hindi magandang pinaghihitay ang pagkain. ” Saad ni mama, sumunod naman kami habang nagsisipaan ng binti. Annoying little brat!
“ Where's Dad, Mom?” I asked as we arrived at the dining table. Napailing nalang si Mom. “ Ayun, bumalik sa City. May aasikasuhin daw.”
“ Work, work, work. Is that all he can do?” my brother. Sa totoo lang, since maliit pa kami, puro work nalang ang inaatupag nila Mom. Me and Hanz grew up in our grandparents house. 3 years ang gap namin, and ever since he was born we were always together. We both cry whenever we don't sleep together and will throw a fit. So, hindi ko siya mapipigilan na makaramdam ng galit towards our parents.
“ Atrium Hanz Marquez, shut it and eat before I shove that spoon into your throat. ” I said with a serious tone then gaved him a glare. He took his spoon and eat peacefully. Yes. I am the only one who can control his temper, and he is the only one who can control mine.
“ Tsk, hmph ” he pouts. “ What was it?” I turned my head towards his way and took a fork, drawing a imaginary line into my throat. He gulped nervously and drank a full glass of water. Luckily he didn't got choked because of how fast he drank it.
After dinner, the three of us parted ways. Each one goes back to their rooms. I sat down in my recamier comfortably. Two knocks, and a shout “ Hey dummy, open up. ” said the brat.
“ What it is idio—” I was about to open my mouth when I saw him with those tears in his cheeks and that reddish eyes, fresh from crying.
“ Anyare sa matapang na paw patrol underwear owner? C’mere crybaby.” as I cares his hair and wiped his tears. He was holding his favorite hotdog pillow na spiderman ang design, in his favorite sleeping pajamas.
“ Wanna sleep with ate?” I asked as I continued wiping his tears that is flowing nonstop. He nodded. We both laid down in my bed, he shoved his face into my pillows and faced me. Hugging me tightly. He is still my baby, even if he is a annoying little brat sometimes.
“ Why were you crying mr.Hanz?” I asked and he didn't reply ,acting sleep. “ If you don't open your mouth in a count of three, I will make sure to kick you out of my room and never sleep with me. Ever. ” Then, a little boys voice echoed through my ears “ Unfair, fine!”
“ Why is that they always think of work first before us?” he asked. I stayed silent for awhile. “ Well, it's for us naman so I kinda understand...”
