Lie With Me

Sixth Lie

His

"What brings you here?"

I turn my attention towards her when she asked me that question. From the tone of her voice, it's obvious that she didn't like me being here and to cause such trouble with the twins.

"I'm with a friend." I point towards behind my back. "How about you?"

"They're with me." Napalingon naman ako sa sumagot na ngayon ay nakaharap sa akin habang nakalahad ang kamay niya sa harap ko. "Kean Aragon, bro. Nice to meet you." At nagawa pa niyang ngumisi! I don't know him personally, pero kumukulo na agad ang dugo ko sa kanya. Did Kenneth knew about him?

Instead, ngumiti na lang din ako at nakipagkamay. I can't lose my cool right now especially in front of the twins. Isipin pa nila na basagulero at mainitin ang ulo ko. Knowing that they look up to me as their dad, I have to set an example for them. Kahit ang totoo, nangangati na ang kamao ko para makipagkamustahan sa kanya.

"Kenneth Ferrer."

He didn't seem shock but I notice him taking a side glance towards them before looking back at me. "Oh. The Kenneth Ferrer." The way he said that name makes me want to punch him. It's obvious that he's mocking me with the way he look and smirk. Mukhang may alam siya sa kung sino at ano ang kapatid ko sa buhay ni Elle.

"Why don't you come and join us. I'm sure the kids won't mind, neither Xie."

Tatanggi na sana ako nung biglang yumakap sa hita ko si Louie. Napatingin kaming lahat sa kanya while he's looking up at me with those puppy eye look on his face.

"Daddy Kean's right, Daddy. Please join us?" How can I say no to this kid? Even if I hate how he calls him Daddy.

I bend down to his level and pat his head. "Alright, buddy. If that's what you want."

Nagsimula naman siyang magtatalon habang pabalik sa table nila habang nakangiti. He even tap a space for me to fill in. Buti na lang din at malaki ang table na kinuha nila, good for eight siya actually kaya may space pa for me.

I take the seat beside him which happens to be across from Elle and Kean while Louis seem irritated as he made his way beside Louie. Nilingon ko naman ang pwesto namin dati at sinenyasan siyang lumapit. Geoffrey seem awkward as he made his way towards us dahil nakatingin silang lahat sa kanya. I know that he's against with this from the start, but right now, I need to be Kenneth for them. That Kean is a bad news for me and I need to know him first hand. Ayokong ipagkatiwala sila sa kanya ng walang ginagawa. They may not meet the real Kenneth, but as his brother, it's my responsibility to see to it that they are in good hands. Kahit sabihin pa na kaya ni Elle mag-isa.
