My Brother's Bestfriend

Chapter 1

Her Side

She didn't expect just in one breath of the wind  change her life like that. In the blink of an eye, she seems to have been taken to the place where the life destined for her will begin.The loud explosion rang out again and the people around were in chaos.Every deafening crash was like a curse chasing the people there, where she was.Nagpapanic ang lahat sa paligid niya. Mabilis silang tumatakbo na para bang nasa likod nila ang kamatayan.

"Run, run! Over there!"

A male voice said.Lumingon siya pero may nabangga siya. She sat on , still having no idea what was really going on.

"Mama! Papa!"

Sinimulan niyang tawagin ang kanyang mga magulang na ngayon ay wala na. Panic attacked her.Just now her parents was holding her hand tightly.

"Here! Come here! where are your parents?"

A woman approached her and grabbed her attention.

"M-Mama! Mama! P-papa!"

Patuloy siya sa pagtawag sa kanila at lumilingon sa paligid na umaasang makita ang kanyang mga magulang.

"Halika nga dito. Hahanapin natin ang Mama at Papa mo."

The woman offer her helping hand on her. She has a light smile on her lips saying that she can trust her. A loud explosion rang out again, almost deafening them. She was enveloped in intense fear and quickly hugged the unknown woman.

"We will be okay. Tutulungan kitang mahanap ang parents mo."

Mahinang bulong ng babae. Binuhat siya nito at tumakbo sila papalayo sa lugar na iyon. Anna's head ached restlessly from deep sleep.
She blinked her eyes to free herself to see clearly.Nakatulog na pala siya habang nagrereview para sa kanyang huling pagsusulit.Ang kanyang inaantok na mga mata ay napunta sa alarm clock sa itaas ng mesa. It's already morning. At six o'clock she should be at the University. She can't remember what time she fell asleep, her head bent over the table. Pagkatapos, bumaba ang mga mata niya sa picture frame sa kabilang side. It was her and her brother. A smile crept on her lips. Ang tanging bagay na nagpapanatili sa kanya na ipagpatuloy ang kanyang pag-aaral at upang maging mas mabuting katauhan ay si Khenn. Without him, she doesn't know if she can overcome all the pain that the world throws at her. She gently took the frame and caressed it. Why she feels that her chest was being pierced at that moment. Parang panaginip lang ang lahat sa kanya. Kung kailan siya magigising ay hindi niya pa alam.If this is really a dream, she would want to be awake and face the reality.

"K-Kuya Khenn.."

Nananabik na bulong niya at kumikirot ang puso niya sa hindi malamang dahilan. Parang napapaso na ibinalik niya ang picture frame at mabilis na nagpunta sa shower room para tuluyang gisingin ang sarili. After a few minutes of soaking in the water and thinking, she decided to get dressed. Nakasuot siya ng uniporme ng Unibersidad nila. Isang itim na palda at isang puting long sleeve na polo. She tucked it in before putting  the black shoes that were two inches high. It was too early that's why when she came out of her room no one was there, the lights were still off but not the light in the kitchen. Maybe the maids are already awake.Naglakad si Anna patungo sa kusina at napuno ng kaligayahan ang kanyang puso nang makita niya ang isang pamilyar na lalaki na nakatayo malapit sa kitchen counter.

"Kuya Khenn!"

Humagikgik siya at tuwang-tuwang tumakbo papunta sa kapatid niya.

"Oh-oh."

She greeted him with a hug from behind.
"Kuya, kadarating mo lang ba?"

"Yeah."

He carefully patted her  tied arms around his waist, as if to say that letting go.Napanguso siya at kumalas ng yakap.

"Hindi ka nagsabi na uuwi ka na pala."

"Well,"

Lumingon si Khenn para harapin siya.

"It's a surprise."

Then he winked at her and leaned on the island counter behind it.

"Hmm."

Pinagkrus niya ang kanyang mga braso sa itaas ng kanyang dibdib.

"Are you going to be here for how long?"

Ang kanyang kapatid ay nagtatrabaho sa Militar.
