(XANDER---->)

"Oh!Good morning kuya!" I greeted him as I open the window for him to breathe fresh air. It's Sunday so we don't have classes.

"Good morning Jessca." he replied as he flashed a sweet smile. And with that smile, my day is complete.

"Kuyaaaaaaaa~!!"

Oh! That's our baby brother. He's only six and knows nothing about our brother's condition.

"Bryle! Come to Kuya!" he said as he spread his arms for a hug.

"Yaaa!! Hihi! Kuya! Kuya! Bryle mishuu!" our baby brother said while he's in the arms of kuya Xander.

Those smiles. Super sweet smiles and playful laughs. how I wish those won't fade away.

"Kuya missed you too. Where do you want to go now? You wanna go for a play?" he said while smiling.

I love it this way. Only this way. We're happy and not worrying for my brother's condition. I love how those smiles are formed. It's like a masterpiece by a great artist. I love how those laughs are burst out. It's like a piece composed by the mopst awarded musician. I can't explain this happiness. This is all I ever wanted. to have this family. This happy family.

"No. I want to go to the church and talk to my friend." he said and he pout. How cute. :3

"Who is your friend?" they asked in unison.

We are all waiting for his answer. He looked at us and then,

"Him!" he cheerfully said as he looked and pointed up.

"Oh... God. He's your friend? He's also my friend!" Kuya answered Bryle.

"Is God also your friend?" Bryle asked us with a very innocent look.

"Yes, of course sweety. He's a friend to every one." I was the one who answered his question.

"Oh.. I want to talk to him now! Can we go and meet him? He'll surely be happy!"

"Yes. We can go baby. Let's just let your kuya change his clothes." dad said as he claimed Bryle on kuya's arms.

"Jessca, help Xander to change his clothes, okay? I'll ask the doctor for permission first. We'll be waiting outside." mom said and she closed the door.

I walk infront of the closet beside my brother's bed.

"So.. two of the stairs is already on process! Only hours and two of them are done!" I said as I pick his clothes.

"Two?" he asked me with a 'really' look.

"Yes. The first and the third one." and I giggled.

"Oh, really? That's good." and he stood up.

I helped him change his clothes. And I accompany him outside.

*kriiiiiiiiing kriiiiiiiiiiiiiing*

"Hello?"

(Jessca! Come here! We'll go to Ryan's pool party! I'm sure you're free coz It's Sunday!)

" I'm sorry Annie. We'll go the church now. Maybe next time I'll go with you."

(No, that's okay. I understand. I'll hang up. Bye! Mwuah!)

"Bye."

"Let's go! They're waiting.." and I accompany Kuya Xander outside.

"Jess, you don't have to do this. Don't sacrifice too much. If it's your happiness then go with it. Gou out with your friends. You've always been there for me. You need time for yourself, too." I felt sincerity in his eyes. He's really concerned about me.

"No, kuya. I'm happy about this. Trust me." and I smiled at him.

"Oh, they're here. Let's go?" dad asked us.

I nod then we started walking. My mom, dad and Bryle was ahead of us. i look at Kuya Xander -- he is smiling.

"You're smiling.. That's good." I said then he look at me.

"Yeah, I'm happy." he said while still looking ahead.

"Why?"

"Bryle..." the he sigh. "He looked very happy. He looked like he doesn't have anything to think of. i wish he'd be like this forever." and he spread his left arm on my shoulder.

We reached the church. We are lucky to find a perfect seat in front. I sat beside kuya Xander. kuya Xander has Bryle on his left and mon on the left of Bryle and dad on the other end. The priest entered and the mass started. An hour passed before it ended.

"Mom, please let me talk to my friend. Please?" Bryle asked our mom. mom just nod and smiled. bryle started talking to his so-called-friend God.

"Papa God, Thank you po. Thank you for letting kuya Xander to go here. I wish he'll be home soon. I know kuya's sick. They didn't inform me but God, I can feel it. Please heal him God. Kuya is a good person. We love him. Please let him stay with us. Please don't take him this early. God, we're leaving now. Kuya need to rest so i'll take care of him." and he took a sign of the cross.

I look at my brother and I see him crying. I wipe his tears and with that, he smiled at me.

"I'm okay."

After that, we go to the nearest diner. It was a peaceful place. it was not really an expensive restaurant. It was an ordinary dining beside the seashore. And it was just so perfect because it is open-air.

"Are you happy son?" I was back to my senses when dad speak.

"Yes dad. I'm very happy." and he smiled at us.

The waiter came with our foods so we stop our conversation.

We're on the middle of eating when kuya speak.

"Mom, dad, can I have a house party next week?" that statement made me look at him.

"You mean, the stair number four?" I whispered to him. He nodded and smiled at me.

"Oh sure. Who do you want to invite?"  mom asked.

"Our relatives, my friends, classmates and teachers. I want them all  to be there." kuya answered and he smiled.

"Okay. We'll handle that for you, son." dad answered.

"Thanks dad, thanks mom."

"And as same as the stair number two, huh?" I whispered to him again and for the second time, he nod and smiled.
