I entered our condo unit and saw my sister at the couch. Nakaupo lang siya tapos hawak niya 'yung bags nung gorcery. And I wasn't expecting too much pero ang dami niyang binili. "Sis, are you alright?" She didn't look so I just went near her. "Bakit ang dami ng dala mo? Inakyat mo ba 'yan lahat dito? Ang bigat niyan ah. Ano ka ba naman. Tsk." 

She sighed. "Pang Christmas na din kuya."

"Don't you think that's a little too early?"

"Akala ko kasi kuya... sasamahan mo 'ko."

Oh. I see. Haha. Now I get it. "Sorry sis. I'll make it up to you, alright? Sa Saturday. Is that alright?"

"Can't you just... quit your job kuya?"

Woah. Her question came out of the blue ah? Surprising. "Huh? How come sis?"

"You're breaking hearts kuya. Don't you think that's harsh?"

I looked down, smiled and looked at her. "Sis, I need this job. Alam mo 'yun."

"Well what if there's this girl you like." She stopped tapos umiling siya. "No, let's change that. What if there's this girl you LOVE. And she wants you to quit your job, magqui-quit ka ba?"

I laughed. "What kind of question is that? Hahaha. Kumain ka na ba? Baka gutom ka na." I really don't know why did that popped in her head. Hm.

She just looked down and sat. Then she spoke, "Kuya pa'no kung sabihin ko sa'yo na in love ako?"

Oh, I see. That's why. Hahaha. "So my little sister is in love huh? Hahaha. With whom?"

She smiled. "'Wag mo ng alamin kuya."

"Huh? Magkwe-kwento ka tapos hindi mo sasabihin? C'mon sis. Who's the lucky boy?" I kept on nagging her.

"Wala kuya. Basta sa Saturday ha?" She smiled and carried the bags.

Tsk. She shouldn't be carrying this stuff."Sis, ako na bahala diyan. Tulungan mo na lang akong ayusin 'yung mga pinamili. Okay?"

She nodded. Hm. Wala namang masama kung ma in love siya at magka boy friend siya. Ang gusto ko lang, 'yung hindi siya paiiyakin. You know, she's nice. She's beautiful. She's humorous and lovely. Smart. Intelligent. Sweet. She's perfect. Except that she's my sister.

I came to the kitchen and saw tho glasses of juice. "Is that for us, sis?"

"Naman!" She winked. Haha. I'm so luck I have a sweet sister.

I placed the bag on the table and then she picked up the grocery items and prepared a chair. Tinutungtungan niya kasi. Madali lang naman 'to ayusin since labeled 'yung cabinets kaya alam namin kung sa'n 'yung cans, spices, ganun.

I handed her the bread. "Tricia, oh." She grabbed it and I faced her and...

*boogsh!*

She fell on the chair and I slipped so... she's lying on top of me. And it feels, awkward. I immediately stood up and helped her but she seems... hm. Blushing? Whatever. Must be my eyes. "Sis, okay ka lang?"
