Chapter 14

During the whole flight, I tried to just sleep, but unfortunately for me, sobrang ingay ng mga kapatid ko. Kung pwede lang siguro magbasketball dito sa plane, ginawa na nila... but maybe that was a good thing para hindi ko na rin maisip si Jasper.

"Are you sick? You're really unusually quiet," Psalm said.

"What? Isn't this what you want? You always beg me not to nag you kaya," i said and then frowned. Mas matanda ako sa kanya pero palagi niya akong tinatawag na nagger.

Psalm shrugged tapos nilipat niya na iyong focus niya kay Saint na mukhang nabagsakan ng heaven and earth. He's usually the one who gets in trouble with Psalm. Si Austin and Cohen kasi 'yung reserved sa mga kapatid ko. But for some reasons, he's awfully quiet today.

"You're so screwed," Psalm said, tapping Saint's shoulder. "We'll only be gone for a few days, brother. You act like you won't see her for a year."

Agad na tumaas ang kilay ko. "Her? Who's her?" I asked incessantly. I was curious! Of course, I was always curious pagdating sa girls ng brothers ko! Ayoko maging pakielamera, but mataas ang standards ko para sa mga kapatid ko. They're epal, but they're still the best.

"Her name's Mary Imogen and Saint's crazy in love with her," Psalm said and Austin and Cohen nodded in agreement.

"Shut up," Saint said.

"Oh, my god! Introduce me naman! I promise I'll behave!" sabi ko sa kanya. Ayaw pumayag ni Saint kaya naman kinulit ko siya nang kinulit hanggang sa makarating kami sa Madrid. He was cursing Psalm for telling me about this girl Mary Imogen. I frowned. Wala ba akong rights na malaman iyong tungkol sa love life niya? He'd see! Bigla na lang ako'ng pupunta sa school nila para ma-meet ko 'yang girl na 'yan!

Hanggang makarating kami sa ancestral house, hindi pa rin pumapayag si Saint.

"Please naman! Introduce me!" I begged him. I was so curious. I was dying with curiosity! Who's this girl who managed to snap Saint away from his beloved basketball? "It's so unfair! Kilala siya nila Psalm, pero ako hindi! Kapatid mo rin ako!"

Maybe I shouted too loud Mom asked Saint who Mary is... Patay na.

We're all hanging out by the porch while Saint was being questioned by our parents and basically all our relatives based here in Madrid. Hirap talaga magka-lovelife sa family na 'to. You'd need everyone's validation. Grabe rin when I dated Aidan. We had to go through Abuelo's test bago kami pinayagan na magdate—to think na Aidan's basically at the same level as us.

"Pinahamak mo si Saint," I told Psalm.

"You were the one with the loud mouth," he replied. "But don't worry, everyone will approve. Mary's awesome."

"Really?"

My three brothers nodded in unison. "Saint hit the jackpot with this one," Austin replied... and I believed him. Minsan lang kasi magsalita 'yan pero totoo.

Mas lalo lang tuloy akong na-curious sa Mary na 'to.

Dad and the other guys went and attend a formal function. Mom was with Saint... looking for the gift for Mary. Me? I pretended to be sick kaya nagpa-iwan ako sa bahay. I just wanted to sleep and rest.

While I was trying to sleep, my phone vibrated.

'Ma'am,' the Viber text said.

'Nico?' I replied. Siya lang naman tumatawag.
