Chapter 46

Fiancèe

"Escape!" I ran towards him. 

"Eh?" My forehead creased because he didn't hear me! Pero may isang bata na nakatingin sa akin. Nanliit ang mga mata ko at tinitigan siya ng mabuti. 

Unlike Escape, this kid looks joyful and friendly. He looks younger than him, obviously, parang kasing eda ko lang ito, e. They look alike, not really, but their features are the same, especially their green eyes. 

"Hi! I'm Kuya Raven's brother! I'm Riley!" He I

extended his arms in front of me, asking for a shake hand. 

That's why! May kapatid pala si Escape! Ngayon ko lang siya nakita. Bakit kaya siya hindi nakakasama nina Tita Loraine kapag pumupunta dito sa bahay? Ngayon lang, pasok kasi. 

"Hello Riley! I'm Dike!" I smiled at him and shook his hand. 

"You're looking for kuya?" He asked, playfully raising his brows. 

"Yeap!" I enthusiastically answered. 

"Daddy called him." He said. 

"Sa loob?" Turo ko sa loob ng bahay namin. 

Napapadalas kasi ang pagbisita nila dito dahil palaging may meeting ang mga parents namin. 

"Aha, let's just play!" His small hand pulled me . 

"Huh? What's your toy ba?" We sat down at the bench in our garden. 

"Here!" Ngumiwi ako nang iabot niya sa akin ang isang robot. 

"Ahm, I'm a girl, you see." I started while staring at his robot in my hands. 

"Yes, I can see that." He uttered. 

I pouted and just started playing the robot. I'm into dolls! Pero ayaw ko naman na ma hurt si Riley kapag sinabi ko na hindi ko gusto ang laruan niya. 

"Anyway, how old are you?" He was still smiling as he looked at me. Nahawa tuloy ako. 

"I'm 5! Ikaw?" 

"4! Turning 5!" He excitedly answered. 

"Riley" We both looked back when someone talked behind. 

"Kuya!" Tumayo si Riley at tumakbo. He hugged his kuya's waist. Ang kamay ni Escape ay nasa may likuran niya. 

"Mom is calling you." Pagkasabi ay mabilis na tumakbo si Riley papasok sa bahay. Naiwan kaming dalawa ni Escape sa may garden. Nasa may likuran niya pa rin ang kamay niya at nakatingin siya sa kamay ko na hawak ang robot ni Riley. Ngumuso ako at gumalaw ang braso ng robot. 

I heard him sigh and step closer to me. He's my crush, alright. Mommy knows it. Sinabi ko na sa kanya at Pina frame ko pa nga ang unang picture naming dalawa para i-display sa room ko. 

"It's not for girls." He said and sat down next to me. Tumingin ako sa kanyang kamay kung saan may regalo siyang hawak. 

"Here, it's for you." Nag iwas siya ng tingin habang binibigay sa akin ang regalo. 

"Merry Christmas" He greeted. 

I could feel my cheeks heated while looking at it. It was a big paper bag, hindi ko alam ang laman pero sobrang excited ako. 

"Wow! Thank you!" Out of excitement, I jumped and hugged his neck. Halos kumalong na ako sa kanya dahil hindi ko maabot ang leeg niya. 

"Merry Christmas! But...." All of my excitement faded when I remembered that I have nothing for him! I'm empty handed! What a shame!
