Glish' POV
It's morning and I'm sitting in front of my room's windowpane, watching every raindrops while sipping my cup of coffee, nahawa na'ko sa pagka-kape nila mama. Suspended ang klase ngayon dahil sa walang tigil na ulan at malakas na hangin, so here I am, tulalang nakatanaw sa labas ng bintana habang nakapangalumbaba sa aking study table. I'm so glad that they positioned it infront of a window. I'm much more pleased to stay like this than going to school hehe.

knock*
who's there?
"Ate Gi!" Iniluwa ng pinto ng kwarto ang aking kapatid, si Gobin.
"What do you want, Gobin?" I asked as I watched him jump on my bed.
"Nothing hihi" I doubt it! He must've something to say.
"Come on, what do you want, huh?" Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo para lapitan siya sa kama.
"Ha? Nothing nga po, ate hahaha Stop — a— te Gi!" I started tickling him and his kiddy laugh echoed through my room.
"You have nothing to say huh" I continued doing it 'til he's suffocating, joke. He starts coughing so I stop.
"Okay okay, I give up" Bumangon siya sa kama at tila sumusuko nga dahil itinaas niya pa ang dalawang kamay.
"Kuya Alvin and Ate Franchezka are already downstairs waiting for you, so you better ligo na" Yay visitors? I'd rather rot here in my room huhu.
"Yea yea, and what's more?" I know he wants to say something more, parang pilit niyang itinitikom ang bibig.
"The girl — AHHHHH" Sa takot ay tumakbo si Gob palabas ng kwarto. Our conversation was interrupted by the sudden loud thunder. Yay it's raining heavily. I've already taken a shower kanina nang magising ako dahil akala ko'y may pasok,
kaya magpapalit na lamang ako ng damit.
"Aila I missed you so much!" Ate chezka give me a hug nang agaran niya akong makita. I did the same.
"Missed you too" I replied in return, I tried my best not to roll my eyes, plastic pew.
"Ai ai! Hindi mo ba na-miss ang gwapo mong kuya?" I turned to my cousin-kuya Alvin. He's so brotherly coded, he's the one that I missed big time!
"Err sinong gwapo?" I even pretend to look around before giving him a hug. This is how we bond, teasing each other.
"Are you staying?" I asked nang mamataan ko ang mga maleta sa hindi kalayuan. Galing silang bakasyon sa Canada, siguro'y dumito muna marahil sa hagupit ng bagyo.
"Yep, I have Tito's permission, so 3 days mong makikita ang ka-gwapuhan ko" He laughed and others laughed as well.
"Still you didn't ask for my approval. This is my house and all of you are nothing but visitors including mom and dad" I spoke back while acting like a villain and raising my eyebrow.
"Just kidding, feel free po hihi" I added and they just laughed it off.
"O s'ya, pagpahingahin mo muna 'yang kuya mo at ang mga kasama niya, kagagaling lang sa byahe ay binabangayan mo na" Dad said — what? mga? What does he mean?
I scan the environment and spot an unfamiliar girl. Oh wait a sec? She's the girl that I saw yesternight in the mall .... with that delivery guy.
"Oh I forgot to introduce to you, This is Lexi, my younger cousin" Napansin ata ni ate Chezka ang nakakunot kong noo habang nakatingin sa babae.
"O-oh, Hi, I'm Lexi" The girl she called Lexi was busy using her phone, I even feel that she's hesitant to shakehands with me and could accuse me for interrupting something! A b?
"Glish" Am I cold? haha I accepted her handshake, then just nod. Bumalik siya sa pagce-cellphone at hindi nakaligtas sa akin ang pag-ikot niya ng tingin. Ma, I don't like her!
"That girl ate, I don't like her huhu" Bumalik na'ko sa kwarto ko at nakisabay naman itong kapatid ko. He's just 6 and the way he spills some tea is really something.
"Is that the something you want to say a while ago?" I asked while facing the book I am reading. I listen to his rants while reading, I can multitask. I feel the urge to agree with his statement, but ayokong kunsintihin pa siya na lalong i-hate ang taong tinutukoy niya.
"Yes.... ate" I looked at him when I heard him yawn. It's 3 in the afternoon and it's still raining heavily, dumating na ang bagyong Carina. I let my lil bro to sleep comfortably and make myself busy while reading. I take my cd player to listen to some music, It's much better when reading my favorite book, Sands of Time by Jonaxx.
After I satisfy my sight, I decided to make it rest. Tinabihan ko na sa kama ang aking kapatid, I can't help but to stare at his innocence asleep face. He's so lovely, I hope our bond will stay the way it is for a lifetime. I love how vocal he is when talking to me, those rants from him are something that I won't get tired of listening to. He's a kid, and so I am, a kid who wonders everything. I'm turning 18 this year, it sounds so serious.
Let it be, I must let the things go as it should be.
