Special Chapter

Between You and Me

Naka-simangot na bumaba ng sasakyan si Snow nang makarating sila sa kanilang munting bahay, si Lendri naman ay bumuntong hininga lang habang pinagma-masdan ang dalagita nyang kapatid na mukhang nag-tampo yata sa kanya.

Naiiling na ipinarada ni Lendri ng maayos ang minanehong sasakyan at bumaba roon.

Pag baba nya ay agad na hinanap nya ang babaeng laging nagpapa-gaan ng loob nya, na sya ding nagpa-pahirap sa kanya, lalo na sa nararamdaman, pero nang sinilip nya yun sa lawn ng kabilang bahay na inuukupahan ng kanyang pamilya ay wala roon ang nasabing babae.

Maybe she's sleeping, or maybe she's with that dickhead again

He sighed as he shook off the thoughts on his brain cells. Pagod na pumasok sya sa kanilang gate, at dumiretso sa bahay nila.

Pag-pasok nya ay agad syang sinalubong ng kanyang ina, Dra. Cayth Naval—Seinfeld, he is lucky to have such a mother like Cayth na kahit hindi sya nito tunay na anak ay hindi nya kailanman naramdaman ang pagiging ilang nito sa kanya. Her mother surely knows how to treat a child good, but he isn't a child anymore.

He tiredly smiled at his mother, who welcomed him with a tight embrace. She smiled at him and kissed his forehead. Even if he's 27 years old, batang Lendri pa din ang turing ng kilakhang ina sa kanya.

"Hmm, my brave Lendri is tired, may problema ba anak?" His mother asked, Lendri glanced at his sister who's rolling her eyes on him as she walked towards the kitchen.

Nagpa-kawala ng malalim na buntong hininga si Lendri atsaka naka-ngiting umiling sa ina.

"I'm good, mom, just messed up shits on the office, but I'm good" he said, as she kissed his mom's cheeks.

Nana-nantyang tinitigan lang sya ng ina na ikina-tawa nya.

"Mom, seriously, I'm good, where's daddy?" Lendri asked her mother, to divert her attention.

Pero imbes yata na sagutin ay inarkuhan lang sya ng kilay ng ina. Cayth crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at his son intently. Walang magawa si Lendri kundi ang sumuko at yakapin nalang ang ina.

"Medyo magulo lang sa opisina mama, napagod ako, tapos iyang spoiled brat kong kapatid nagta-tampo yata" he confessed to his mom, tiredness is vivid on his tone.

His mother sighed and hugged him tight.

"Anak, walang masama kung magpa-hinga ka muna sa pago-opisina, sa kapatid mo naman, alam mo naman yan hindi ba? Maldita lang yan sayo pero hindi yan sanay na hindi mo bini-bigyan ng oras, she talked to me last night, she said she missed her brother" malumanay at puno ng pagma-mahal na saad ng kanyang ina, Lendri sighed and kissed her mom's cheek.

"I gotta go mama, thanks for making me feel better" he said and walked towards the staircase.

Mamaya na nya lalambingin ang kapatid, ayaw nyang madamay ito sa pagod nya na noong isang linggo pa yata nya nara-ramdaman dahil sa problema nya.

Agad nyang isinara ang pintuan ng kwarto nya nang maka-pasok sya roon. He sighed and went near his sliding window, sinilip nya ang katawid na bintana. He licked his lower lip and closed the window
