[Quin]
Tahimik lang akong naghihintay sa sofa malapit sa kamang kinahihigaan ni Raven kung kailan siya magigising nang makarinig ako ng tunog ng cellphone. It isn't my phone. Iiling-iling akong tumayo at sinubukang hanapin ang pinanggalingan no'n.
I walked towards the sleeping Raven and realized it's his phone placed on the bedside table. I stared at him for some time. I would lie if I say he isn't breathtaking. Because he is. Nakatagilid lamang siya, yakap-yakap ang isang unan habang balot na balot ng kumot.
His bangs fell to his eyes and it was messy hot. Even in his unconscious state, the seductive shape of his lips would make anyone want to kiss him and brake advantage of the chance. The dimness of the room is not enough to rob him off the spotlight.
Damn. He really makes me think of crazy thoughts.
Javen Sis Calling...
Si Javen? Nagdalawang-isip ako kung sasagutin ko ba o hindi. I cant just answer someone's phone, and I cant let it be too. Baka importante ang sasabihin. Sa huli, pinindot ko na lang ang answer button. His family should know what their son is doing with his life.
"Kuya! Hindi ka raw pumunta sa premiere night ng movie n'yo ni Sunshine? May sakit ka raw, asa'n ka ngayon?" Her tone was a mixture of worry and accusations. I sighed before I decided to talk.
"Hello. This isn't your brother but I know where he is." Natahimik sa kabilang linya. Sh*t happens.
"Sino ka? Bakit nasa iyo ang cellphone ni kuya?" Napatitig ako kay Raven nang bahagya siyang gumalaw. Narinig ko lang ang ungol niya pero saglit lang din 'yon. Mukhang naalimpungatan ata.
"Nasa amin ang kuya mo. He's sick and he's sleeping," paliwanag ko. This is awkward, alright.
"Sino ka nga? Bakit siya nandiyan imbes na rito siya umuwi kasi may sakit siya? Did you rape my kuya?!" Malala na ang bunganga ni Javen at mukhang mas lumala ata ngayon. That was why I was never that close to them years ago. I saw them as... some modernized girls who know nothing but makeup and gossips.
Matalino naman siya, pero hindi ko siya feel pati na ang grupo nila. Isa pa, wala akong panahon para makisawsaw. I don't care, more like... I didn't care.
"I'm Quin. Quindal Ange-"
"Sh*t! Quin?! Ikaw 'yan?!" Nangunot ang noo ko. Why does she sound excited and uh... too shocked? I mean it can't be impossible for me to still exist, right?
"Sino 'yan?- Quin?- she's the same girl?-okay. That's good." Rinig kong usapan sa kabilang linya. Why do I hear Cynthia Del Fierro's voice? Oh. I remember she's their mother.
Back in highschool, Cynthia was an anonymous writer too. I didn't expect a former classmate of mine is a daughter of my uh... Favorite author. And that she has a brother I like. Wow. Coincidence.
"Hello?" tawag pansin ko sa kanila. How rude to talk while I'm still here.
"Quin, diyan na lang muna si kuya. Kahit isang taon pa. We won't mind." She sounded like she's teasing. Okay, what was that?
