Ang Kwento ng isang NBSB

Sister x Brother

I gulped. Realization striked me. Yes, indeed. She is my sister, and I'm living with it.

"Please be a good brother to her. Marami syang pinagdadaanan ngayon." Dad stood up and started walking past me.

"And fix that hand of yours, it's bleeding." He said before finally leaving.

I sighed again. How am I gonna fix her like this?

I can't. How can I?

Hours passed.

I am still drinking at the bar, pero hindi pa rin ako tinatamaan ng alak na iniinom ko.

Right after the hospital incident, I decided to go back to Manila. As much as possible, gusto kong iwasan si Kimberly. Wala pa akong balita sa kanya, and I don't want to.

2 weeks have passed, and I'm still broken. Siguro hindi nyo pa to nararanasan, pero pakiramdam ko pinapatay ako deep down.

I gulped another glass of liquor. I don't know how to get this over.

I left money on the bar and decided to go home. This has been my routine after getting back home from La Paz. Bar - House - Bar - House.

I went to my car at the parking lot. May nakatayong babae roon. She's wearing a red revealing dress. Sa sobrang revealing, parang wala nang tinakpan.

"Hi Xion!" She said in a pitchy tone.

"Go to hell." I told her as I shove her off my car.

"Hey... You're too harsh babe. Ang gwapo mo pa naman." She said as she brush the back of her hand on my face.

"Fuck off." I pushed her away and opened my car.

As I speed away, I felt so empty. I could have used that girl in any way I wanted to, but Kimberly blocks my mind everytime.

Kelan ba kita makakalimutan Kim? Kelan?!

Luckily, I arrived home without any broken bones.

A familiar face welcomed me on the doorway. I tried passing by him but he held my hand to stop me.

"Lagi ka raw lasing lately." He said with an angry tone.

"It's none of your business." I said as I try to get my arm back.

"It is. Ama mo pa rin ako Xion." He said as he faced me.

"Ngayon lang. Simula nang malaman mong may iba ka pang anak." I said looking at his eyes directly.

"Are you jealous of Kimberly?" He said with crooked eyebrows.

"Hell no." I said rolling my eyes at him. He let me go so I sped to my room right away.

I jumped on my bed out of annoyance. I never really cared if dad cares for me or not. I don't care if he cares too much about his daughter. What I hate is the fact that it was Kimberly, and I can't take it.

Few minutes passed before I decided to get out of my room to get water. I saw one of our maids on the kitchen.

"Sir, magandang gabi po." I just nodded at her in response.

"Wala na po pala si madam, pinalayas na po ng daddy nyo." Sabi nya.

"Talaga? Mabuti." I said as I get water from the fridge at ininom.

"Andito rin po pala ang kapatid nyo sir." Dagdag pa nya?

"Talaga? I thought nag-enrol na si Xianne sa MagWo."
