(Author's note: Salamat talaga mga mambabasa! Sana ay mabigyan niyo rin nang pansin ang aking ibang mga libro rito sa Wattpad.)

IVAN

Days had passed so fast, at hindi ako pinapansin ni Boss. Hay, nalungkot tuloy ako.

I was about to sleep when my phone rang which made me panicked. I raised a brow when Lawrence's name registered on the screen.

Kailangan nito?
Sinagot ko na lang pero hindi ako nagsalita.

"Kuya, 'wag kang madamot pa kausap kay Ate!" My ear almost bleeds because of Lucian's scream on the other side.

I rubbed my ears to lessen the tingling feeling left. "Bal?" Lawrence said in a hurry and almost a shout.

"Bobo, pano na'tin makaka-usap si Ate. Kung hindi ka makikinig muna?" Logan's said that made me agree with him. Seconds later I heard a slapping sound. "Mali ka tanga, ganito 'yung dapat. Kuya, pwede kami makinig kay Ate?"

"Taena, tumahimik nga kayo," Lawrence growled out. "Ibalik niyo yan!"

I started cleaning my nostrils with my fingers as I listened to their bickering.

"Basagin na lang kaya natin yung phone ni Kuya, tapos kausapin natin si Ate sa hangin."

I frowned as I wonder if Leroy's strategy could be possible. Hmm, pwede kaya?

"Tanga, naka-aircon si Ate kaya hindi makakarating 'yun," Logan shouted.

"Babasagin ko mga mukha niyo pagnabasag ang phone ko!" I could hear the faint voice of Lawrence from afar. I wondered if they were this hyper when I'm not with them.

"Teka, gumawa na lang tayo ng sulat, lalawayan natin para mabango. Malayo pa lang ang dog manship natin ay ma-aamoy na ni Ate," Lucian said and tittered.

At kelan naging aso ang dyosang katulad ko?

"Nayswan, tara gawin natin sa kwarto!" Logan beamed on the other side that also made me pumped a fist in the air.

"Naysu!" I shouted. "Let's go bobonut, everybody let's go, common let's eat the kuto, tara gawin natin sa kwarto!" I sang and clapped my hands.

"Akin na 'yan... Ivan!" Lawrence shouted that surprised me.

"Y-yes!"

Natahimik bigla 'yung nasa kabilang linya. Ano ba' yan pabitin! Magsasalita na sana ako ulit kaso ay biglan nagsalita si Lawrence.

"Lumubha na ang lagay ni Mama, kinakailangan niya ng kidney transplant." Halos muntikan ko nang mabitawan ang phone ko dahil sa sinabi ni Lawrence. Hindi ako sumagot dahil baka binibiro lang ako ni Kambal.

"Kalahati lang nang kabuang babayarin ang kakayanin ng pera natin sa-sabi ni Kuya," Lawrence said, cracking his voice in the middle of his sentence.

My head suddenly ached to try to process his words.

"Kung hindi tayo makahanap ng donor ihanda na lang natin 'yung pera sa libing."

I immediately jutted upright from my seat, hearing his words. "Ganoon pala kamahal maghanap ng donor, Bal?" I asked when I processed it.

My tears started to fall. "Mahal pala ang kidney," I said, biting my lips as my hands trembled.

Lawrence started to cry along with me on the other side. "Bakit ang bobo mo," he said and ended the call

Kahit bobo ako. Ma, Kapit lang at ako'y kakapit kung saan para sa pambili ng kidney mo.

I glanced at the table in the kitchen when someone knocked loudly enough to get my attention. I wiped my tears and tried to fake a smile at my Boss that's drinking a glass of water

I bit my lower lip harder when my tears wanted to pour out once more. I arched back, facing the ceiling to stop my tears.

"Is there any problem?" he asked in a worried tone, and I could feel his presence getting nearer.

He drew his face to block my view of the ceiling. He looked down on me with worried eyes that's a bit out-of-blue expression that he could make rather than his normal cold eyes.

"Say something, Moron dog," panggising niya sa akin.

"B-boss, I need your help," I stated.

"You sound like that explorer kid," he said, flicking my head. "What is it?" he continued, raising his brow.

"Finding napkin?" he replied to his question when I took the time to answer him.

I immediately straightened up and deliberately bumping my head to his chin. Letsibay eh!

He cackled, brushing a palm on his chin. "You look like a crying dogshit," he commented, massaging my head that bumped to his chin.

"Mamaya mo na kamustahin yung mga kuto ko dyan, okay?" I sneered. I looked up to see his face that I had to make an effort because I don't want to talk to his chest. "Kailangan ko ng pera."

"How much you want my moron dog?" he asked, fixing my hair.

Hindi ko alam kung magsasaya ako o mabwebwesit sa kaniya. "Tama lang sa presyo ng kidney," I answered that made burst into laughter as he slightly smacking my back.

"The best ka talaga magpatawa," he complimented which seemed to be an insult to me.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"You see, I could give you that amount, but," he paused which intrigued my attention. "It's a matter pertaining to your mother and my help shouldn't go farther than you, so how about asking your new Lola?"

I frowned at his words that made me confused. All I could understood was asking that old weird Lady that he kept referring to as my Lola.

"My moron dog, feel free to ask her. As long you don't leave my side, I'm gonna let all your whole breeds breath longer," he chimed with a grin on his face.

I scratched my head when I couldn't understand all of his words. "Gusto ko siyang tanungin kaso nahihiya ako," I said shyly.

He chuckled and ruffled my hair. "I'll make sure she'll do it so don't shed more tears," he said with a strange smile on his face. "It's disgusting," he added that made me shot him a glare.

"Dyosa kaya ako," I muttered.

"Oo, ng mga aso," he replied and started to walk away. "Go back to your room if you don't have things left to do."

I immediately saluted. "Yes, Boss," I answered in a firm voice.

He only gave me a dismissive wave of his hand.

Weirdo.
