**** Second Part of Flashback ****

- Richard -

(NP: Your Guardian Angel (Acoustic) by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus)

Papa turned on the stereo and put it on a mild volume. He and Mama are sitting side by side since Mama and I exchanged seats.

Anna and I are now sitting together side by side and we sing in unison since we know the lyrics of the song.

♪♫ When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out

How this world turns cold
And breaks through my soul
And I know, I'll find deep inside me

I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to Heaven♪♫

"Kuya." Anna hold my hand and suddenly clasp it.

"Is there something wrong sis?" I suddenly feel panicked when she clasped my hand because she doesn't usually do that.

"None. I just want to know if you will still treat me as your baby sister even if I grow old?" She suddenly blushed after saying that. She's really childish. How cute.

"Of course!" I answer her question with a big smile.

"Even if you got a girlfriend?" She continues.

"Yes!"

"Even if you are married?"

"Yes! Hahaha."

"Even if you already have kids?"

"That's way too advance Anna. Haha." That question is really weird. I still haven't had a girlfriend so how come I would have a spouse and a kid.

"Just answer it Kuya!" She's really a cute one.

"Yes of course! You will still be my precious little sister." And I give her a very tight hug.

"I love you Kuya. I love you Mama. I love you Papa. " She said that to each one of us while she's still in my arms. She said it with her unique and infectious smile.

I can see Mama and Papa smiling from the rear view mirror.

I really thank God for having a wonderful and lovelable family, most especially, a very cute, loving, talented and kind baby sister.

I really wish that this kind of happiness in our family won't end.

"Kuyaaaa!"

I suddenly get out of my thoughts when Anna shouts at me.

"What's wrong?" I look intently at her thinking that there's something wrong.

"Wear your seatbelt!" She pouts like a duck after ordering me.

"Yes!" I mocked her with a salute after saying that.

"There you go young lady. My seat belt is already in..."

I saw Anna's eyes widen like she saw something from my side of window. I suddenly felt weird and scared from her reaction. I immediately grab her when...

Scrreeeeeeecccchhhh!

"Kuyaaaaaaaa!"

"Bigla kaming binangga ng isang sasakyan na lumitaw out of nowhere." Patuloy sa pagkukwento si Kuya Richard habang nakatingin pa rin sa larawang hawak hawak niya.
