Accidentally Falling Inlove

Chapter 1

"Hanggang kailan mo ba ako kakamuhian, Theo?" My voice almost crack asking him.

I dont know what do I ever did wrong for him to treat me like an enemy. Alam ko namang ampon lang ako kaya I never take advantage to the things I have. All I ever do was to follow and to follow to the orders na binibigay sakin o inuutos sakin just to make this family feel like I am not taking them for granted! That i am reciprocating their kindness!

But with Theo, I dont know. Maybe it is still not enough.

"What happening here?" Si Kuya Alex. He look all over me as if im scanning and looking mad at Theo. "How long will you act like this, Theo?" He asks.

Theo just walk away and shut the door loudly.

I feel my whole body broke into pieces and saw myself na bumagsak na sa pagkakatayo ko.

Kuya Alex immediately escorted me to sit on the sofa and wipes my tears.

"You know Theo's always childish. And Im sorry for that." He said while wiping my tears from falling down.

Kuya Alex is always kind to me and always act as my shield to Theo. He's the oldest one, second is Theo and lastly, me. The adopted.

"Why cant Theo just accept me? It's been 17years!" I said at mas lalong lumakas ang iyak.

"Maybe he's still having a hard time. I was like that when you first came to our family when you were 5 years old. I always throw a tantrum in front of our father's office desk and even in front of mom ng hindi mo alam hahaha." He said and gently tapping my back. "Maybe Theo thought that he will be the bunso but turns out its not. And because of that, I am happy na ikaw ang bunso namin." He said and taps my head.

Kuya Alex's words were always comforting me especially in times like this. As if he's made for moment like this. And im always grateful because he's here. He's my step brother.

"You should stand straight, Lucy. You are now looking like a 5 years old kid with all of your namamagang mata at magulong buhok. Take a shower i'll take you somewhere." He said at inalalayan ako tumayo.

"Theo will be jelous.." sabi ako at yumuko.

"Then do you want Theo to come with us?" He asks.

I want.

Theo is kind in so many ways. It's just that, not in me.

With that, it makes me feel a stranger to him. He did not want any connections or conversation with me. And if he did, he'll just fight with me.

"Im gonna go take a shower na Kuya. Just wait me sa baba." I said and completely rushing to my cabinet to pick a dress that would match what i am feeling right now.

"A black dress?" Kuya Alex asks. "Are we going to funeral or something? At least inform me." He said at pinipigilan ang tawa.

"Should i change?" Tanong ko.

Is it bad to wear black ba today?

But it suits my emotions right now..

"No, that's fine. Sumakay ka na." He said and open a door to his car. "Dont forget your seatbelt." He said bago isara ang door at sumakay narin.

"Where do you want to go?" He ask habang ang kanang kamay ay nasa manubela at kaliwang kamay naman nya ay nakapatong lang sa bintana ng sasakyan. "Opening the window is refreshing right?" Tanong nya.

"I thought you planned this already thats why you're asking me." Sagot ko.

At tama nga sya, opening the window is so much refreshing. It makes me breathe and free my emotions.
