His Irreplaceable Possession

#HIP09

DS: Hello babies, how are y'all? I'm here to acknowledge some changes in this particular story, which is its Title. We're also going to use modified hastags to label every chapters due to the aforementioned changes. The reason? I also don't know haha.

"Meet the family"

"You know each other?"

Napatunganga ako nang muli akong hawakan ni Danzel sa kamay para harapin siya at sagutin ang tanong na iyon. I glanced quickly to the three, cueing them to help me with their big brother.

Only Dalien who step forward, while the two look away, feeling guilty and nervous at the same time. They really are scared to this man, huh? I wonder why? Danzel seems.. gentle, and kind.. well, just for my own perspective.

"Kuya—"

"Did you saw her on some posts of rumors online, too? That's why you know her name?"

I was extremely confused when Danzel look seriously at Dalien but suddenly became soft when he quickly glanced at me. Baka ay namamalikmata lang ako?

"No, kuya. We knew ate Hurricane for a long time now. She's working on a milktea shop, Daniel and i are their regular customer." Dalien politely and formally answered his brother's question on my behalf.

Kung mag usap ang dalawa ay parang hindi sila magkapatid. They sounds like colleague, business partners, boss and employee, and worst, strangers.

I can see how cautious they were. On their behaviour, and words.

Danzel is indeed respectful by the three.

Now, everything already make sense. Why Daniel acted so scared when his twin threatened him with their kuya.

Is he the eldest?

"How about you, Drake?" seryosong tanong naman niya sa lalaking umaaktong walang nakakita ngayon. Daniel was whispering secretly before that while stopping his laughter.

"I.." he cleared his throat, totally ignoring their little brother's words. "I just knew Ms. Hurricane too. Just days earlier than you did, bro. In the gym." he also explained.

Bakit ba sila nagpapaliwanag?

I mean, masama bang makakilala ako ng ibang taong maaaring kakilala din niya? We're in the same school anyway. Even the twins are in the high school branch of our University.

"Are they telling the truth?" ako naman ang nilingon ni Danzel at tinanong. Akala mo naman kung nahuli namin sila sa aktong pagnanakaw. Kung makausisa ang lalaking ito ay napakaseryoso.

"Yes, Danzel. Why do you care anyway?" tanong ko pabalik at tinaasan siya ng kilay.

Narinig ko ang mahinang 'oww' nina Daniel at Drake na parang nagugustohan nila ang ginagawa kong pagsagot sagot sa kanilang nakatatandang kapatid.

Tinitigan muna niya ako ng seryoso, parang sinusuri kung nagsasabi ba ako ng totoo, bago siya tumango at umayos ng tayo. He let go of my hand as well.

"Have you eaten?" he asked the three. Sabay na umiling ang dalawang magkatabi ngayon habang nanatiling seryoso si Dalien. He glance at me and smiled softly, indirectly apologizing for what happened and for what is revealed into me.
