ZERA'S P.O.V
It's okay
I'm just smiling while watching them laughing together. I feel a little bit cold so I just stayed in my tent. Wow, they were so happy...
As I was staring at them I suddenly remembered my dream earlier. It was so fucking scary! It feels so real to me. I thought I'm going to die! As I was getting further by remembering every scene about it I didn't realize that my tears started falling down
Fuck, I'm not ready to die, I'm not ready to left my family so soon. I don't know what to do if that thing might happen. I can't imagine my family living without me, without my kuya. I wiped my tears when I saw my kuya approaching to me.
"Hey, you didn't join" he said and then sit beside
"Uhmm, it's a little bit cold kasi" I said still trying to wipe the
tears
"I told you to bring a sweater because it's cold, didn't you listen?" He asked watching our friends
"Uh, I forgot" sagot ko naka tingin din sa kanila
"Tss. Just as simple as that? makakalimotan mo'pa?" He asked while slowly unzipping his sweater
He slowly leaned in so he can wear it to me. Ang lapit niya sakin kaya hindi ko masyadong naramdaman ang lamig dahil nahaharangan niya ang hangin. I smelled his natural scent and I can't stop myself from tearing up
"K-kuya," tawag ko hindi na mapigilan ang hikbi
"Let it out, tell me what's bothering you" hindi na siya nag abalang mag tanong
"Kuya, natakot ako kanina, I thought I'm going to die" saad ko pumiyok na ang boses
Nagulat ako ng bigla niya akong niyakap kaya mas humagulhul ako. Yes, I'm a secret agent so I should be strong and brave but, I just can't hide my emotions infront of my family.
"Sush, stop being a cry baby" he said
"But, it feels so real" hagulhul ko parin sa balikat niya
"Zera, I know it scares you. But instead of getting worried it just made me happy" he said in a low tone. I punch him lightly because of what he said
"Why? You want me to die in just a bad dream?" Tanong ko naniningkit na ang mata
"Silly, I'm happy because you're so brave. You survive that scary dream. You know what? When we were just a kids you used to shout and cry loudly because you saw me holding a spider? And then mom and dad rushed like there's an emergency" he laughed. "Also, the day when you saw a big dog barking at you so you ran away like you were chased by a monster? You really cry that day to the point that you even said to mom and dad that i was the reason why the dog barked at you. They even grounded me for two weeks silly you" he keeps on telling our childhood moments kaya mas lalo lang akong umiyak
"But that was a years ago..." Mas niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit
"... ibang-iba kana ngayon. You've grown so well. You're so brave now unlike you back then. Hindi kana natatakot sa spider" he chuckled and then brushed my hair like how mommy used to do when I'm crying "wala kanang kinakatakotan, your not even scared to faced the death. Kaya nakakpanibago lang kanina na natakot ka talaga ng husto. Yes, I was a little bit worried kasi iyon ulit ang unang pagkakataon na natakot ka talaga. But still, I'm so proud of you! You survived" he said and then kiss my forehead
"You should sleep, we'll have an activity tomorrow so you need to get alot of energy" saad niya at tumayo na
"Good night kuya..." I greeted
