Lost Keychain ( Bloody Society #1)

"YOU CAN START TOMORROW AFTER SCHOOL."

Pabalik-balik sa isip ko ang huling sinabi niya habang pauwi ako sa bahay.

Grabe, tomorrow agad mag s-start, wala man lang pakilala muna sa kapatid ganorn?

Syempre kailangan kong makilala ang tuturuan ko 'no para malaman ko ang personality nito, baka kasi hindi kami ka-humor. What if maldito pala 'yon o masama ugali? kaya dapat lang alam ko saan ako lulugar, lalo na sa mga insensitive jokes ko at syempre para alam ko saan ako mag a-adjust.

"Hoy ate, ayos ka lang ba?" Lumingon ako sa katabi kong sumisipsip ng buko juice dito sa loob ng jeep habang mayroong dalang kulay itim na bag na may disenyong polkadot na ngayon ay nasa kaniyang kandungan.

Kami pala, habang pauwi kami sa bahay...

"Ayos lang, bunso." Anas ko at ngumiti ng matamis at ginulo ang buhok nito.

"Ate naman e! Haggard nga ako tapos gaganyanin mo pa hair ko, patayin mo nalang kaya ako?" Anas nito at ngumuso habang inaayos ang buhok.

Napatawa naman ako at ngumisi nang malapad. "Si oa o! Napaka-oa talaga!" Anas ko dahilan para mas tumulis ang nguso nito.

Ang ganda talaga ng kapatid ko, hindi na ako magtataka kung madami na ang nanliligaw sa kaniyang kalalakihan o kababaehan ngayon. Mahigpit akong kapatid lalo na't siya lang ang kapatid ko, kahit naman siguro madami kami ay ganoon pa din ang gagawin ko.

Ngunit normal lang ang magkaroon ng manliligaw dahil ganiyan din naman ako noon maging hanggang ngayon, hindi na lang gaano ang manliligaw ko dahil sinabihan ko na silang wala akong sasagutin.

I made it clear already that I don't want to be a part of any serious or even not serious relationships because of my studies and my career. I wanna focus more on what's important for my future, at syempre future ng pamilya ko...

They say, love is just a distraction and it can also bring lots of pain to you; Physically, mentally and emotionally.

Madami ang nanliligaw sa'kin noong junior high school pa lamang ako, but I made it clear towards them na hindi ko talaga sila sasagutin, some of them gave up but there was one person who never gave up on me...

Si Vien...

Vien is my old friend a.k.a old suitor from elementary to junior high school. Sadly, they have to move to another country, walang nakakaalam sa rason, even Vien.

His last word before he left was "Babalik ako, ikaw at ikaw lang palagi. I will continue pursuing you as long as there is no other man, til we meet again mi amor."

Then he left, the man who pursued me for eleven years was gone, we never had a communication after that.

It's been two whole years since he left and I missed him, as a friend. I don't know why but I never liked him more than that. Vien is a handsome boy, gentleman, caring and kind.

But even if you come back, my answer will still be the same.

'til we meet again, mi amigo...

I was peacefully reading some articles on my laptop in the sala of our house while sipping some coffee when my younger brother Liam, burst inside.

Padabog niyang isinara ang pintuan at tinapon ang bag nitong dala sa couch. "Hey, what the hell is your problem?" Taas kilay nitong tanong habang nakapamewang.

I smiled before sipping my coffee. "Coffee?" Alok ko dito.

"Kuya!"

"Why? Can't you give your brother a small favor?" I grinned when he hissed.

I'm not surprised that this kiddo already knew about the 'tutoring' thing. This kid is full of surprises.

"Don't fucking use that word on me, kuya! You made me looked like like a dumb person. Are you for real?!" He shouted at me while pointing everywhere. What was that for?

"I knew you would know it eventually. Though, I was about to tell you right now."

"Tsk." He rolled his eyes before sitting on the couch.

"I already told her earlier that you're not dumb." Sagot ko habang nasa laptop ang atensyon ko.

"Mhm, so what's your excuse then?" He said sarcastically.

"That you're a slow learner." Nagkibit balikat ako bago sumipsip ng kape at isinara ang laptop.

Nakita ko ang bahagyang pagkunot ng noo nito at pagtaas ng isang kilay habang nakakumo ang kaniyang kamao.

"Fucking headache!" Anas nito at ginulo ang buhok.

"Relax bro, you're gonna be okay." Anas ko.

"How dare you to say that I'm a fucking slow learner, who learned how to shoot a fucking gun first huh? Who learned how to fucking drive a plane first huh? huh?" Anas nito habang nakakumo pa din ang kamao, tila gusto nang manuntok.

Napatawa nalang ako. "Mhm, you." I actually learned it first before him, hindi niya pa alam ang mga bagay na iyon ay marunong na akong gumamit ng baril at magmaneho ng eroplano.

But I told dad that I will come with him to learn about that stuff and make him think that he learned it first before me.

I did that to boost my brothers self esteem and self confidence. Liam is a very insecure man but a hot tempered one. Sobrang ikli ng pasensiya nito. He even killed one of our maids just because the maid is flirting with him.

Though I would probably do the same...

I actually don't know why the hell my brother is so fucking insecure about himself because Liam is a good looking man and has a brain of a genius! He once told me that he's a dumb man, that is probably one of the reason why he's insecure.

"Why are you torturing me like this? You know I can't stand something like this!" Anas niya habang nakakunot pa din ang noo nito nang tumingin sa'kin.

Right, Liam doesn't like this kind of idea. Ayaw niyang isipin ng mga taong bobo siya at walang pinag-aralan. Again, this is one of the reasons.

"Hey little bud, just give me a little favor, will you? I promise you that things will turn out okay." I tapped his shoulder.

"No kuya, this will never be okay!" He shouted.

"Yes it is." Nagkibit balikat lang ako at nilagay ang isang braso sa headboard ng couch.

"Fine but seriously, what the hell are you planning?" He said raising a brow.

I smiled teasingly before I looked at him coldly. "Find it out."

He grinned before looking at me with approving look. "You bet, I will."
