Chapter 2: Alone
I JUST ARRIVED FROM SCHOOL. Magpapahinga na lang muna ako. I felt tired kahit na wala namang masyadong ginawa kanina. Pakiramdam ko kasi ay kulang pa ang tulog ko. Naabutan ko sa living room ang half-brother ko na si Calvin. He’s a sweet boy. He’s the only person here in this freaking house na hindi ko kinaiinisan.
My father is not yet here. Siguro, sabay na silang uuwi ni Tita. Susunduin niya siguro sa office. Hindi kasi sa company namin nagtatrabaho si Tita. She said she wants to keep her job before she met my father. Napamahal na raw kasi siya doon.
"ATE!" tawag sa akin ni Calvin. He ran towards me and embraced me. He is all smiles. "Ate, look oh! I have a star!" Tuwang-tuwa na ipinakita niya sa akin ang kamay niya na may star.
"Wow! Ang galing-galing naman ni Calvin. How did you get a star?" nakangiti kong tanong.
"Teacher Maya said that I was doing well so she gave me a star. She said I was very good!"
"Really? Okay. Next time, may ibibigay sa’yo si Ate na prize okay?" Ginulo ko nang bahagya ang buhok niya. He’s so adorable.
"Okay!" He left me and returned to where he has been. Nanonood siya ng cartoons.
Umakyat na ako papunta sa kwarto. I really feel exhausted. Humiga ako para makapagpahinga. Malapit na akong makatulog when I received a text message. It came from Jewel, my best friend.

Girl! I’m sorry. Hindi ako makakasama sa’yo mamaya. Nalaman kasi ni Kuya Nick na pupunta tayo sa bar. Ayaw niya akong pasamahin. Sorry talaga.
Magre-reply na sana ako nang may magtext ulit. This time, it’s from Ken.
