MIRA POV.
"Why? Alam niyo na ba dati ito?"
I am asking kuya Marco so many questions, he follow me after I left.
Hinihintay ko lang siya magsalita habang seryosong nakatingin sa'kin, malungkot ang mga mata niya.
"I don't know too, she's Allissa Claire Grande, right?" he asked so I just nodded. "She's not 'Lopez' how come she get insurance from our company?"
I am also thinking the same, why she's not using our father surname? And why she's insured and get money from our family company?
"Let's just go now, kuya"
Dumiretso siya sa driver seat kaya pumasok narin ako sa shutgun niya. Tahimik lang kaming dalawa habang nag-mamaneho si kuya Marco, no one wants to open a topic, I let it be and just look outside.
"Who is she, Sean?"
"I'm Mira Jane---"
"Sorry but I'm not asking you" pagpuputol niya sa sasabihin ko. Aish!
"Sean, Kierth and you 'gurl' excuse us" paalam ni Trisha. Tahimik Lang ako habang hawak Niya and wrist ko
"Duh! I'm Allissa Claire--"
"Sorry we're not interested, bye"
Argh! I am reminiscing?!
I can't believe she's our half sister! She's not that bad at all but there's something on her that I don't really like.
Wait! Alam niya na kayang kapatid niya ako? Na anak din ako ni papa? She came from Canada too.. Nanggaling din ako dun before, hindi kaya--
"Mira, we're here"
I stop when I hear kuya Marco's voice, bumuntong hininga ako at lumabas ng kotse. Dire-diretso ako sa loob ng bahay at pumunta sa sala.
"What's bothering you?" he sit beside me and put his arm on my shoulders.
"Masama ba akong anak?"
Napahinto siya at agad na sinapo ang dalawang pisngi ko at tinitigan ang mata ko.
"No, stop thinking that"
"I'm not, right? So why I am experiencing all of this? Why they're hurting me like this?"
"Minsan, may mga tao talaga tayong nasasaktan para sa ikakasaya at ikabubuti ng iba"
"Then why I'm the one who needed to get hurt? Did I deserve this?"
"Of course you don't deserve any of this" he lean my head on his shoulders "Shh.. everything will be fine" he whispered and kiss the top of my head.
***
I wake up when cold air feels my skin. Umupo ako mula sa pag-kakahiga at kumurap-kurap. I look up to my wall clock and it's already 1:00 am. Tumayo na ako at nag-hilamos, mabilis akong natapos at bumaba na papunta sa kitchen para kumain
"Hmm.. midnight snack?"
Binuksan ko ang refrigerator at naghalungkat ng makakain. Kumuha ko ng fried chicken na natira kanina at binuksan ang oven para initin. Kumuha muna ako ng chocolate drink at ininom---
"Hindi niya na kailangan pang malaman,"
Napahinto ako at agad na sumilip sa labas ng kitchen namin. Wala akong masyadong makita dahil lampshade nalang ang nakabukas sa sala. Nanatili parin ako at nag-hihintay ng pwedeng kasunod na usapan.
