Chapter 17: Family Bonding

CHARLES

Nagising ako mga 5 na, may narinig kasi akong ingay sa kusina at naamoy. Sino kaya nasa kusina? It’s too early to cook. I went to the bathroom, to brush my teeth and wash my face. I need to check the kitchen who’s in there. After my morning routine, i immediately go to the kitchent, and guess what? Chi is cooking some bacons, eggs, fried rice and hotdogs. May nakalabas pang malaking mineral, she’s so early. Balak niya bang gambalain mga demonyo sa itaas.

"What the hell? Do you know that you’re so early? Chi, you are so abala to my sleep." I said when i enter to the main kitchen, you know may mga side-side kitchen pa kasing nalalaman, iisa lang naman pwedeng pag-lutuan. Yung main kitchen para sa pang maramihang luto, sa side naman, para sa kakaunting luto kapag nagutom.

"At ang aga mo ring mang-inis, e sa gusto ko kayong pag-lutuan e. Hindi naman kayo masarap mag-luto," What the fuck? S-she literally said that! I don’t want to remember that scene, nakakainis si Kuya Cael, feeling chef! I rolled my eyes to her. "Huh, you both insisted na mag-luluto, but at the end. Ako ang nag-luto, kasi hindi kayo marunong. Pwee!"

I give up, umalis nalang ako sa kitchen at pumunta sa dining area para maupo, wala rin naman akong gagawin. I check my phone kung sino yung mga nag message bukod sa hideout and my friends.

Oh, Darcey. She’s one of Chi’s friends, i remember. Why is she messaging me. Pareho sila ni Chi, ang aga mambulabog.

Darcey:

Hey, Charles. I want to ask you something.

Me:

What?

Darcey:

May alam ba si Ry sa parents niyo? When i explained her why i killed Graziella, she was shocked. I also tell her that she can ask her Father.

Me:

No, she doesn't know my parents real identity. She just know that our Father is normal business Man.

Darcey:

Oh, kaya pala. Anyway, thank you! Good morning. Tell your sister that i said good morning, and rest well.

Nag okay sign nalang ako, kapal ng mukhang utusan ako. Bahala siya sa buhay niya

"H’wag ka munang kumain, tatawagin ko lang sila. Bilang ko ’yan, bubunutan kita ng ngipin kapag may nabawas diyan!" Wow! Is she threatening me? Akala niya naman talaga kaya niya.

I follow what she said, i didn’t eat and let her do what she said. She shouts 'Gising na! Kakain na!' I just know na maiinis sa kanya mga Kuya namin, but my Mom and Dad will only smile at her. Geez, kaya spoiled e.

CHIVALRY

Sunod-sunod na silang bumaba, maayos na sila tignan kumpara kanina. Parang nakipag-digmaan lang itsura nila. Nakipag-digmaan sa kama.

"Sweetie, it's early in the morning, bakit mo kami ginising? Wala ka namang pasok." Itong Tatay ko reklamador talaga, papakainin ko sila e.

"Breakfast, kakain na tayo. May sasabihin din ako sa inyo sa hapag. Kaya pumwesto na kayo." Grabe! Hindi halatang ang sama ng ugali ko. Maka-utos ako sa gumawa sa akin akala mo talaga e.
