Voice of my heart (ON-HOLD)

Step 16-Part 1

"Red, wake up! Your boyfriend's outside!" I heard Kuya Winter shout from downstairs. Agad naman akong napabangon. Si Blue andito? What is he doing here? Today's a Saturday and we both don't have classes.

I hastily got up from my bed and wore appropriate clothes. Walang ng ligo ligo. Mahal naman ako ni Blue. Kung ayaw niya na mabaho ako, edi we'll break up. Joke lang.

"What are you doing here?" I asked Blue as I descended the stairs. He is sitting on the couch with a book in hand. Pinapasok na pala siya ni Kuya Winter.

Tumayo si Blue but before he could say anything, Kuya Winter's voice boomed out. "Baby, I'm going out. I'm going to look for Storm."

Bigla naman akong nag-alala. "Why Kuya? Where is Kuya Storm? Did something happen?"

He chuckled. "Wala naman. Relax. Alam mo naman yung kambal ko na iyon may saltik sa utak. He told me kanina na sunod nalang daw ako sa kanya eh hindi naman niya sinabi kung saan. I texted him and he said hulaan ko raw."

I sighed in relief. "Akala ko naman kung ano na."

Kuya Winter kissed my forehead. "You guys take care okay? At ikaw Asul, hanggang kiss lang ha? Bring her home before eight o'clock or you're dead meat."

Blue blinked and nodded. "Opo kuya."

Tinaasan siya ni Kuya Winter ng kilay. "Seryoso ako Asul ha? Kung hindi ako mismo ang kakain sa iyo."

Blue cringed. "Opo."

Kuya Winter smiled and ruffled Blue's head. "Dala ka na rin ng pasalubong para sa amin ni Storm. Sige bye!" And he went out the door and we both heard the engine of his car as he went out the driveway.

Si Kuya talaga. Isa rin naman siyang may saltik sa utak.

Blue looked at me curiously. "Is your brother always like that?"

I nodded. "Yeah. He's weird. Pasalamat ka nga siya lang inabutan mo rito. If you saw him with Kuya Storm, ewan ko na lang."

Blue just looked at me and smiled. Naupo naman ako sa couch kaya naupo na rin siya. I coughed. "What are you doing here anyway?"

He pouted. "Wala kasi akong magawa. Ang boring sa bahay. I went to the bookstore to look for good books to read and I also got you one. Diba you love Mitch Albom?"

I looked at him skeptically. "I love J.K Rowling actually. Who told you that?"

"Si Denver." He shook his head. "I guess siya ang may favorite sa kanya."

I laughed and grabbed the book from him, the five people you meet in heaven. "It's okay. I like his books too."

Tinaasan ako ni Blue ng kilay, "Oh really?"

Bakit niya ako tinitgnan ng ganyan? Ang angas ni asul ngayon, ah. "Yes, I do like his books. Why?"

He smirked. "I thought you only said that because you like me."

Ay wow. Napanganga ako. Literal. As in. Yung tipong papasukan na ng langa kind of nganga. Hindi ko kinaya ang sinabi ni Blue. Napaka. Napaka talaga.

Binatukan ko siya gamit yung librong ibinigay niya sa akin. "Wow, Blue Salvatore. Do you hear yourself right now?"

Tinaasan niya muli ako ng isang kilay. Ano bang meron sa araw na ito at parang panay ang pagtaas niya ng kilay, ha? "Yes,  I hear myself. And I know that I sound good."

Napanganga nanaman ako sa sinabi niya. At muli siyang binatukan. "Ang hangin mo ngayon!"

He just shook his head at me and proceeded to the door. O saan siya pupunta? Aalis na ba siya? Wag muna!
