Ace Hernandez: The Christmas Heart breaker [SHORT STORY]

Number One

"Tricia, can you get me a glass of wine? Thanks little sis." I told her as I was sitting in front of the window staring at nothing.

"Yes kuya, wait lang. I'll finish my homework. Saglit na lang 'to."

"Okay. Take your time then."

Tricia? Yes, she's my little sister. Little STEP sister, to be specific. She's 18 years old. She's my angel so no one should ever hurt her kung hindi, makakapatay ako. And I'm serious. Anak siya ni papa sa ibang babae. But since our parents died in an accident, kailangan kong buhayin ang step sister ko. Kailangan kong buhayin ang sarili ko.

"Kuya, here's your wine. I'll sleep na ha? Good night!"

"Okay. Good night. Just thought you should know, aalis ako mamaya li'l sis. Take care. Okay?"

"Sige kuya. Ingat ka."

She immediately went up stairs and slammed the door.

And yep, for her, it's normal to slam the door just like that.

*tenenenenen...*

Ziggy calling...

Ziggy calling...

Ziggy calling...

"Will be there in 20 minutes."

"Sige dre. Bye."

*tooot...*

End call.

A trip to heaven.

Pupunta nanaman ako kela Ziggy.

A time out for everything.

At last.

@ZIGGY'S CRIB

"Hey guys!" I waved at them.

"Sup?"

"Pretty fine."

Axel stood up, walked towards the refrigerator and grabbed some beer and placed it on the table. And as usual, I'm the first one to open a bottle.

"Alam mo dre, hindi ka pa din nagbabago."

"What the heck are you talking about Zig?" And then I immediately drank a big amount of beer. Aahhhhhh. This is relaxing.

"Ang lakas mo pa din uminom. The way you talk. The way you approach people. It's still you. Ayaw mo bang magbago? Advice lang dre, fix your life before everything gets worse. Lalo na 'yang trabaho mo. Tsk."

"I'm perfectly fine. Look at me? Healthy, handsome, wealthy."

"Gwapo ka nga Ace, wala ka namang girl friend. HAHAHAHA." Damian said in a sarcastic voice. And they all bursted out in laughter.

I placed the beer on the table rudely, as if I'm mad. Then I spoke, "That was insulting. Don't you think? Tsaka, oo nga pala, I don't need a female dog wagging its tail around me. Girls are distraction."

"Distraction huh? Then why are you hitting on your little sister?"

"Yeah man. HAHAHAHAHA!"

I'm losing my temper. This is extreme bullsht. "The fck's wrong with you guys?!"

"Hey, hey. Tama na. Ziggy, Damian, 'wag niyo na kasing pagtawanan."
