ZENAIYA ERIS
"Gusto ko ng ganiyang kahabang buhok, Ate Zenaiya," sabi ni Zai habang nakatingin sa buhok ko sa repleksyon namin sa salamin.
I just smiled at her because I am more focused on putting her hair on a braid like a princess. And I am almost done.
"But by the looks of it, it seems like you haven't combed your hair for years," Zan said teasing her. I grinned. Ito na naman sila.
"Kuya! Nang-aasar ka na naman eh!" Zai pouted after rolling her eyes.
"No. I am not. Kahit tanungin mo pa si ate."
I felt her gaze on me waiting for my answer. I looked at her through the mirror.
"Well, it took me an hour to finish your hair," I said making her frown more. She crossed her arms over her chest. Zan and I chuckled. "Just kidding," I told her while pinching her cheeks. She's so cute that I always do this. I smiled when I finished doing her hair. "My princess," I said proudly.
She playfully curtsied, and giggled.
Napatingin kami kay papa nang pumasok siya at sumalampak sa upuan. Mukhang napagod sa paghahanap ng mga pinabibili ni mama. Pati paghihintay sa supplies mula sa Dark Kingdom, talagang nagtiyaga siya. Kanina pang ala-singko ng umaga siya umalis at magtu-twelve na ng tanghali.
I walked towards Zan to pinch his arm. "Sabi ko kasi sa'yo, gumising ka nang maaga para masamahan mo si papa," I told him. A tic started under his left eye because of the pain.
"Tama na, ate!" he pleaded.
I rolled my eyes. "Kuhaan mo na lang ng tubig si papa," utos ko. Pero hindi pa man siya nakatatayo, lumapit na si mama habang hawak ang isang baso ng tubig saka binigay kay papa.
"Kailangan ko pa bang kumuha ng tubig?" tanong niya habang inosente akong tinitingnan. But when he smiled to tease me, I scowled at him.
"Nabili mo ba lahat?" tanong ni mama na tinanguan lang ni papa habang umiinom.
Hindi naman kasi kami ganito dati. I shifted my gaze to our window. The gigantic gates of Dark Kingdom can be seen from here. We were once inside that kingdom. I am one of their Evelings because of the power I contain. But because of Zan's cunning acts, they kicked my family out of the kingdom.
Hindi naman talaga dapat iyon ang kabayaran. Pero dahil sa overpopulation, iyon na ang parusa sa mga nagkasasala dahil pati ang dungeon ay puno na rin. Masiyado nang maraming nilalang ang naninirahan dito, lalo pa nang hanapin nila ang mga nasa Mortal World para pabalikin dito. Mahigpit na ipinagbabawal ang pagtira roon kaya kahit sobrang dami na ng tao rito, talagang pinagsisiksikan nila. Marami kaming nasa labas ng kaharian. Para tuloy sila ang mga matataas at mayayamang negosyante na hindi pwedeng lapitan ng mga mahihirap na tulad namin dito na mga nasa labas.
