Sister
"Umupo ka." She said. Kahit nakangiti siya ay nararamdaman ko ang awtoridad. Like I'm her fucking secretary and I need to do everything she command.
Dinala niya ako rito sa restaurant nila Donald. Ayoko man na dito kami kumain ay nakakahiya naman na humindi lalong lalo na at mag-uuusap lang kami but fuck, kinakabahan ako. What if Donald see me? Worse, yung ate niya pa?
"Ano po ba ang pag-uusapan natin?" Diretso sa punto kong tanong.
She smiled again. Pinagsalikop niya ang kanyang mga kamay na nasa lamesa. Though I can feel that the way she moves is casual lang at hindi masyadong formal, nakakatakot pa rin ang makita na gusto akong makausap ng ate niya.
Isumbong ko kaya siya kay Lucas?
"Since you are frank, didiretsuhin ko na rin. Wala man akong pakialam sa karelasyon ng kapatid ko, o sadyang wala na akong pakialam dahil alam ko na ang galawan ng manlolokong iyon." She started.
Her eyes are twinkling with happiness, nababagabag lang ako dahil parang may mali.
I swear that this place is so hot or is it me being nervous. Biglaan na lang kasi akong pinagpawisan.
"Ikaw ba ang gumayuma sa kanya?" Biro niya.
Sa sobrang gulat ay napasandal ako sa upuan at parang matutumba. I swear what she said offend me but I can't believe that she can say it so nice but harsh on the same time.
"Joke lang!" Tawa niya.
Her eyes is same with Lucas. Intimidating and hard to look at. Para bang magsusungit sila pero pag nakilala muna ay iba pala. Hard to understand...
"I know that my brother likes you. I mean he's crazy and he's crazy mad inlove with you." Tinuro niya ako.
Everything about her is fabulous. From the way she dresses and the way she walks and talk to me. Maybe their parents trained her to be prim and proper, opposite to Lucas who is sometimes rude and childish.
Her hair is long. Blackjet and it is wavy in its ends. Ang pananamit ay nakabusiness attire and her heels are a killer.
She combed her hair. Nilipat niya ito kaliwang balikat niya. "I'm happy that someone like you was his karma." Ngumiti siya.
As I said before, hindi ko inakala na kami pa ang magkakatuluyan at magkaka-ibigan. I hated him for being playboy and a jerk. Nakita ko din kasi si Donald sa kanya.
Siguro ako iyong karma niya. Well I'm flattered to feel that I was his karma, serves him right.
Napawi ang ngiti niya. Then everything within me shaked. Para bang nabuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig nang magbitiw ulit siya ng mga salita.
"But my brother would be happier without you." The words she spilled stabbed me.
Hindi ako nakapagsalita. My eyes went down. Saktong pagbaba nito ay ang pagdating ng mga order namin ni Koleigh.
Sa tasa ng kape ko na lang pinokus ang mga mata ko.
"Thank you..." Koleigh said to the waitress. "Nandyan na ba si Chelle?" She said.
