My Brother's Bestfriend

Party

Prologue

At a round table, Kenneth is with his friends, but his mind is running far away, or it's better to say that he's thinking of a specific person. 

"Who's still single? Bro???"

Nathan looked at them one by one.

"Paul, Darylle... nasaan na nga pala si Darylle?"

"Baka naghahanap na ng target."

Paul answered.

"This Doctor, still single."

Reffering to him. He looked up at his friends from the phone screen.

"When are you going to get married, Kenneth?"

Nathan asked casually. Unlike the Javier brothers, this men he was facing in this moments had not been his friends for that long, but he still considered them acquaintances and trusted him for a long time.With friends, the feelings that are close to you will never go away, that even your private life will be investigated just like this man, Nathan.

"Pwede bang patawarin mo ako sa tanong na iyan, Llorca? Pagod na akong marinig iyon."

He whistled.

"Doctors are really grumpy, huh? But why Mark and Lawrence, who are not doctors but are also rude."

"Don't iritate the doc, Nate. Marriage is thought carefully. It's not like rice-"

Nathan waved his hand to stop.

"Did that saying really come from you, Paul?"

"Bakit hindi? I'm a fucking single at alam ko kung kailan ako magse-settle down."

"I won't believe everything you say until you stop talking about women!"

"You two stop."

Lawrence scolded them.

"Or just leave our table. You're like a child too maingay."

"I'm sorry, Kuya Lawrence."

The two said at the same time, obviously just teasing.

"Focus, bro."

Makahulugang saway ni Kevin sa kanila.

"Oh."

They all simply looked around the entire venue.Kakasimula pa lang ng party and everyone is enjoying already. Nagvibrate ang phone niya.Even before he could read who the message was from, he stopped the smile that wanted to escape in his lips. How crazy.

From Honney: Kakagising ko lang. Is kuya Khenn is at the party? Is he okay?

Parang may gustong iparating ang mensahe sa akin ni Anna. He frowned slightly and looked up again to see where Khenn was standing. Sa likod ng malawak na nakasaradong pinto, naroon si Khenn, tuwid na nakatayo.When he seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, he immediately shifted his gaze directly to him. He saluted him, a corner of his lips raised stiffly.He only nodded.Bago pa man siya makapag-type ng reply kay Anna para sabihing ayos lang si Khenn, nag-pop up ang isa pa niyang mensahe.

From Honney: Ang sama ng panaginip ko. Ayos lang ba si Kuya? Tinatawagan ko siya pero hindi sumasagot. Nag-aalala ako.

Mabilis siyang nag-type ng reply.

To Honney: Khenn is fine. Don't worry too much love.

Just a few seconds later, his phone vibrated again for a call.

"Excuse me."

Bulong niya sa kanyang mga kaibigan at umalis sa kanilang mesa.Pumunta si Kenneth sa hallway malapit sa rest room dahil doon lang niya maririnig ang boses ni Anna.
