Brother's Conflict

Chapter 14: What is a Bad Boy?

KAYE's Point of View

Kahit na alam kong masasaktan si Kuya Kaizer,sumama parin ako kina kuya Lyon dahil ito rin naman ang mas makabubuti. Dahil ayaw kong mag away-away pa silang lahat.
Naging tahimik lang ang buong biyahe namin. Pilit akong kinukulit ni kuya Ivan pero tinitigilan naman siya nina kuya Zyro at Kuya Skyner.
Nang makarating na kami sa apartment, pinagbuksan na ako ni kuya Lyon ng sasakyan at dumiretso na kami sa kwarto ko. I look tired pero hawak-hawak parin ako ni kuya Lyon sa kamay. Sobrang higpit na pagkakahawak.
Napaupo lang muna ako sa kama ko. I just sighed.

"Please Kaye,dont forget to bring with you your inhaler. And please,dont always get nervous if Kaizer is with you. Hayaan mo nalang siya. Just relax if you feel tensed ok? You know, I cant afford to lose you..." kuya Lyon sound really worried in his tone.
"Im very sorry kuya. Hindi ko po kasi akalain na mangyayari yun sakin but I really promise,tatandaan ko na lahat ng sasabihin niyo sakin." I replied.
Lumapit si kuya Lyon sakin then he kissed me on the forehead then niyakap niya ako.

"By the way,did you take your lunch already?"
"Nope kuya. Im still fine. Im not hungry." I replied.
"Hmm, I see. So mauna na ako Kaye. If youre hungry,theres a food in the fridge or you can just call me to cook for you. I'll be just in my room if you need me. Bye Kaye." He smiled.
"Thank you kuya but Im really fine here. Thank you for being thoughtful." I answered

Lumabas na ng room si kuya Lyon kaya nahiga nalang muna ako sa bed ko. Napabuntong-hininga nalang ako habang iniisip ko parin ang mga nangyari. Nasan na kaya si kuya Kaizer? I hope, he's not mad at me again. Kasi akung tutuusin,ako rin lang naman ang nag decide.
It was supposed to be a happy day,but it just turned into arguments. Phew...Is it my fault again? Im really hopeless.I just cant help myself and I cant stop blaming my own.

Maya-maya lang, I felt sleepy kaya napa-idlip muna ako. Siguro narin dahil sa sobrang pagod ko kanina.
I looked at the wall clock and its already 3:10 in the afternoon. Its already early kaya hindi ko namalayang nakatulog na ako.

...Zzz...zzz...zzz

"You really have'nt change a little bit at all like Before Kaye.
Yo're still a troublesome..."

"Huh!"
Biglaan akong nagising dahil sa gulat. Bumangon ako ng daha-dahan and I sat on my bed. Am I dreaming?
Bakit bigla nalang nag roll-over sa isipan ko lahat ng sinabi ni kuya Kaizer!? I should not be thinking of that dahil sinabi niyang hindi ko na dapat iyon ipa-alala pa. He gave me a reason anyway.

Tumayo na ako. I again looked at the wall clock and its already...

5:25!!?
Gosh! Halos dalawang oras din pala akong nakatulog? Parang 20 minutes lang yun ehh...
Naglakad na ako palabas pero naalala ko ulit...

SI KUYA KAIZER!!!

Hindi ko pa pala siya nakakausap!
I need to explain myself to him.
Tumakbo ako papunta sa room ni kuya Kaizer. I tried to pull off the doorknob but its locked up.
Kumatok nalang ako.

"Excuse me nii-san, are you there?" I started.
It took five minutes for him to reply. Antagal!

"Anything?"...he replied with a weak but serious voice. Kinakabahan ako. Sa tono palang ng boses niya,alam mong parang galit siya.
"Can I go inside?" I asked.
"Ano ba kasing sasabihin mo?" Medyo napataas yung boses niya. Kaya napatigil ako.
Hays,sana hindi ko nalang sinabi.
"Umm,Im very sorry kanina ha. I didnt mean to leave you there behind but---" hindi na niya pinatapos yung sasabihin ko.
"Its already fine so kung wala ka nang sasabihin,makakaalis kana" he replied sarcastically.

Sabi ko na nga ba. Bumalik na naman yung pagkasungit niya. Ni hindi man lang niya ako pinagbuksan ng pinto.
Well,wala naman akong magagawa kaya umalis narin lang ako. Hmm, how can he change? Galit parin ba siya sakin? Thats really difficult.
Malungkot akong naglakad pabalik ng room ko. I still have to prepare my things dahil monday naman bukas.
