Chapter 147: Strict Visitors

[STRICT VISITORS]

LUNA'S P. O. V

Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang saya ko nang makita ko sina Kuya Axel at Kuya Zeke. Deth knew they were coming but kept it a secret just to surprise me.

"Namiss ko kayo!" I exclaimed, hugging them tightly. Nakayakap din sila sa akin.

"We missed you too, Luna. A lot," Kuya Axel said with a laugh. "And look at you, you're getting taller!"

I pulled away, eyes wide in surprise. "Talaga ba?"

"Oo nga. Parang kailan lang, you didn't even reach my chest." He placed his hand under his chest to demonstrate.

I scratched the back of my head, feeling shy. My eyes wandered to Kuya Zeke, who was just staring at me intently. "May problema ba, Kuya?"

Kuya Axel chuckled, nudging Kuya Zeke. "He just missed you. He used to stare at me like that too. Don't worry."

"Deth!" I glanced back at Deth, who had given us some distance for privacy. I called him, waving him over when our eyes met. He ran towards us quickly.

"Kuya Blaze," Deth greeted Kuya Zeke the moment they locked eyes.

"Stop it," Kuya Zeke said, his tone firm.

Deth raised his hands in mock surrender. "Okay, I'll stop."

Kuya Zeke shook his head, clearly irritated. "As you should."

"Kuya naman..." I lightly scolded him.

"It's fine, Luna," Deth laughed, which made me playfully smack his arm. "Umayos ka kasi."

"Chill, Kuya." Pagpapakalma ni Kuya Axel kay Kuya Zeke. Inakbayan niya pa ito. "Para namang hindi ko alam."

"Ang alin, Kuya?" I asked, confused.

Kuya Zeke shoved Axel's arm off his shoulder, clearly annoyed. "Shut it, Maximus."

Kuya Axel winced, rubbing his arm. "Damn, stop using my first name! It gives me goosebumps!" He rubbed his arms dramatically.

Kuya Zeke smirked, his mood shifting as he teased. "Why? Is it because of Faith?"

I blinked, confused. "Faith?"

"Tell her," Kuya Zeke urged, crossing his arms.

"Ngayon talaga?"

Marahas na bumuntong-hininga si Kuya Axel at hinarap ako. "Ah...Luna, huwag kang mabibigla, ha?"

"Bakit? Ano 'yun?" Tanong ko kahit alam kong may posibilidad na mahalaga kay Kuya ang babae at wala naman akong dapat ipag-alala.

"I have twins."

My jaw dropped as I processed his words. "W-what?"

"Long story short, I had a girlfriend, we had twins. Their names are Cali and Astrid," he said, a mix of joy and awkwardness on his face.

"You mean... you're already a father?" Deth asked, just as stunned.

He nodded at Deth before looking back at me. "Yeah, I am. But because things are complicated with all of us, I can't introduce them to you just yet."
