Years ago...
My kuya left me.
"Where the hell should we find Alexandro?!" My dad shouted in frustration.
It took them weeks to realize that he had gone missing, they wouldn't even notice his disappearance when there was nothing for them to ask him to do.
Pareho na silang natutuliro, hindi alam ang gagawin sa pag kawala ni Kuya.
How would they not panic? They lost the spine of this business.
They are going hysterical, while I was just reading my book here in the corner of the living room.
"That was your son! Why are you asking me?!"
"You're his mother! I'm always at the company, and you're just a stay-at-home wife! Of course you should know where your son is!" He grinned.
I let out a big sign as I put my headset on my ears, and walked towards my room.
It has been their morning routine since I remember.
Sigawan for breakfast, they would ignore each other for lunch, sumbatan for a snack, and if it's worst, they also battled between life and death for dinner.
Wala ng bago sa akin, simula ng lumaki ako ay ayan na ang natatandaan ko. Baka nga kung hindi tinatakpan ni Kuya ang tenga ko noon, mas malala pa ang mga maalala ko.
Masyado na silang kinain ng pera at yaman na meron kami.
And, that was the reason why Kuya ran away.
It's been exactly two weeks, and 3 days since he told me that he would breathe in the meantime.
Hindi ko naman s'ya maisisi, since he turned 10 all the pressure was given to him.
Nagsimulang lumaki ang kompanya nila Daddy nung 10 si kuya, but after that he was pressured to handle all our company.
They didn't even listen to his rants when he told them that he was hurting. Napuno lang si Kuya, kaya s'ya tumakbo paalis sa amin.
I understand him, but not the part that he left me.
Sana sinama n'ya na lang ako...
Pero, hindi ko naman magawang magalit sa kan'ya eh, after all he was my brother.
I know how he loves me, they just pressed his button-down.
Hindi ko na sila pinansin, at umakyat na lang sa kwarto.
Binagsak ko na lang ang sarili ko sa kama, kasabay ng pag angat ng mga kamay ko sa kisame.
"What's my life now without Kuya by my side?" I whispered to myself.
Napabuga na lang ako nghangin doon, at binalikwas na lang katawan ko sa kama para magbasa.
I don't have anything to do but to read and read, absorb every knowledge that I could...so I won't disappoint them.
Masyadong mataas ang expectation sa akin nila Mom, dahil na rin kay Kuya.
They want a smart, brave, and fierce son that everyone would fear—a young man with a mind as sharp as his instincts, ready to face any challenge without hesitation.
They envision us, as someone who commands respect with just a glance, his presence alone enough to silence a room.
With unwavering courage and a fire in my heart, I'd grow to be someone no one would dare to cross, a protector of those I love and a force to be reckoned with for anyone who stands in our way.
