Salamat

Mara

Kinagat ko ang pang-ibabang labi habang nakatingin sa galit na galit na mukha ni Tito Santiago. He looked at me with a softer eye before looking back at his son who just had a fight with the greatest asshole in our class. Nagkasugat lang siya sa gilid ng labi pero iyong kaaway niya ay may black eye.

"Cain, you are grounded for the whole month!" Tito Tiago hissed before going upstairs.

Sinundan namin ng tingin ang ama habang palapit naman ang nag-aalalang ina. Lucciana was smiling beside the frowning Constanza. Parang inaasar ang kapatid na pinagalitan ng ama nito.

"You shouldn't have done that," mahina kong saad sa katabi bago nginitian si Tita Rebecca na may dalang first aid kit.

She didn't look like she enjoyed the circumstances but still managed to smile back at me. When I looked back at Cain, he was already glaring at me. Napatingin lang sa kaniyang ina nang hampasin siya sa braso.

"Ouch! Mom! That damn Bradley bit me there!"

"Language, little Rodriguez."

Mahina akong natawa dahil nakailag nga siya sa suntok ng kaklase namin, nakagat naman siya sa braso. Bradley was the greatest asshole but Cain was considered the monster of the school. Kaya hindi na ako nagtaka kung bakit mas maraming pasa si Bradley kumpara kay Cain.

"Stop laughing, Limpoco."

Napa-aray ulit siya nang idiin ni Tita Reb ang bulak sa gilid ng kaniyang bibig. She was already glaring at her son.

"Kailan kita tinuraan ng ganiyang asal?" She asked, comepletely pissed because of her son's behaviour. Hindi na ako nagsalita kasi sanay na naman ako na ganoon si Cain sa akin.

"Mom, I'm not doing anything wrong!"

"And you're acting like a kid," her mother countered that made me chuckle.

"Iyan kasi, naghahanap ng away. Ayaw yatang gumraduate ng high-school." Lucciana said raising her brows. She had a cocky smile, hindi na napigilang asarin ang kapatid.

"Shut up, Lucy!" Cain glared at his sister and he earned another punch from his mother. "Mom!"

Napatango naman si Constanza sa tabi at mabilis na inayos ang glasses na sobrang kapal. Hindi na ako nagtaka kasi sobrang bookworm niya.

"You should've stayed on the line, kuya. One year nalang pero ngayon mo pa naisipang.." hindi na pinagpatuloy nito ang sasabihin dahil kahit siya ay nakatanggap ng matalim na tingin mula kay Cain.

"Akala ko pa naman wala nang susunod pa kay Dante," disappointed na saad ni Tita saka tumayo na dala ang first aid kit. Sakto naman na pababa si Dante galing sa taas, may dalang libro. He didn't speak when he saw everyone else gathered in the living room. He just raised a brow before turning to look at me.

Yumuko lang ako saka nahihiyang kinagat ang labi. Narinig ko pa ang malakas na tawa ni Lucciana bago ito unti-unting nawala. They left the living room already. I looked at Cain who was already glaring at me. He raised a brow at me and then rolled his eye. Babae yata to, e. Mukhang timang.
