The Devil's Heartbeat

CHAPTER TWO

HINDI ko na namalayan ang oras,kung wala pang kakatok ay hindi ko malalaman na ten o'clock na pala,exactly ten o'clock! Mygosh!

"Come here!"I said while re-reading and reviewing my work.

"I heard to Kuya Nash that mom and dad scolded you again."

Nagulat ako sa pamilyar na boses. Napatingin ako sa gawing pintuan and I saw my second brother.

"You are here!"buong galak kong ani at dali-daling tumayo sa kinauupuan upang salubungin at yakapin siya.

Sa lahat ng family member ko s'ya lamang ang karamay ko,pero madalas siyang wala dahil siya lagi ang inuutusan na umasikaso ng mga business nila mom and dad sa ibang bansa.

"You missed me damn much,huh."he said while hugging me too. I laughed and nodded.

Kumalas na ako sa yakapan namin at sinipat ang kabuuan niya. "Getting more handsome day by day,huh."

Ngumisi siya. "Della Cruz genes."

I rolled my eyes dahil sa kahanginan niya...well true naman.

Bumalik na nga ako sa pwesto ko to convert the files into pdf,baka mabura pa edi todo iyak na naman ako nito.

"How are you?"

I looked at him and I saw him,already laying on my bed while looking at me. I let a long and heavy sighed. "Don't asked me like that."

"Judging by just the way you breathing and how your smile faded...I know you're not."

He knows me too well.

"Shut up,brother. I don't want to talk about it."

Ini-ayos ko na nga ang mga papeles na prinint ko at saka tuluyan na ngang humarap sa kan'ya. Still nakahiga pa rin s'ya.

Sarap buhay ng kumag.

"What are you doing here? Our mom's birthday is in next month. Why you're so early?"

Nauwi lamang ng Pinas ang kapatid ko tuwing may occasion like Christmas,New Year or birthdays...pero ngayon nakakapanibago. Umuwi siya ng walang event,napaka-rare ng pangyayaring 'to

Kailangan ibalita ito sa buong mundo.

Just kidding.

He laughed. "Cause I wanna see what's  my sister's doing. I just missed you and want to see you that's why I go home early. Got problem with that,woman?"

I rolled my eyes. The tone of his voice was super manly and cold,sabagay iyon naman talaga ang boses ng aking mga kapatid.

The first born in Della Cruz was kuya Nashville Lorenzo Della Cruz,sobrang lamig talaga magsalita at malagom ang kaniyang boses,minsan lang din siya magsalita dahil mas pinipili niyang mag obserba sa nakapaligid sa kaniya. Malalim at matalim ang paningin ng aking kapatid,naalala kopa noon kung paano s'ya naaaway dahil akala ng iba ay sinasamaan n'ya ng tingin sila.

The second born in Della Cruz was the man who's in my room. Kung si kuya Nash ay malamig,matalim at mahilig mag obserba,ang kuya ko namang ito ay mas pinipiling paglaruan ang kaniyang mga kalaban. Malamig din ang kaniyang boses,may pagkalagom din ngunit mas malagom ang kay kuya Nash. Magaan ang mata ng kuya kong ito,mahilig ngumiti ngunit ang ngiting iyon ay mapaglaro.

And last,the last born in Della Cruz was me. Athaleah Skyreign Della Cruz,the second woman in the family. Currently twenty-one years old and studying BBA course.

If you are curious what's their age,si kuya Nash ay twenty-six years old while ang isa ko pang kuya ay twenty-four years old. They all successful and already have their own business,but our parents chose to still have them in their company.
