"Where are you?"
"Pauwi na." sagot ko kay Deacon."Bakit?"
"We have something to talk about."
Sakto namang pumarada sa harap ko ang kotse ni Kief. "Okay, I'm on my way."
Binaba ko ang tawag at sumakay sa kotse. "Sino yun?" tanong niya.
"Si Deacon hinahanap ako. Pinapauwi na ako sa bahay. " I replied while putting my seat belt on.
I took the connector and plugged my phone. Binuksan ko yung spotify app tapos nagpatugtog.

I stayed the same you played your games
And now were left with nothing.
I'm not okay, but it's okay
Don't walk away I'll take the blame
Before were left with nothing. ♪
"Is it okay if I won't be able to visit you regularly at your office?"
What is he up to this time? "And why?"
"Someone offered me a job so..."
"May trabaho ka na? That's good. Does your father know?"
Bahagya siyang natigilan. "No. He doesn't need to know. He mustn't. Sisirain niya ang lahat sa oras na malaman niya kung nasaan ako."
"Sorry, I forgot about that." nahiya tuloy ako. "So magtatrabaho ka na talaga? You don't have any plans to study again?" nice change of topic Ever, bravo!
"You mean Law?" he laughed roughly. "I never wanted to become a lawyer. It was Dad who wanted it."
"You're okay with just being called Engr. Kieffer Midnight Glyn?"
Huminto siya sa pagmaneho nang pumula yung traffic light. "I don't need to have a higher position. Kaya lang naman gusto ni Dad na mag Law ako dahil nabigo siya sa pangarap niyang maging attorney."
"He wants me to finish his dream, not my dream. Besides, it's also a benefit to him dahil sa illegal business niya." I was about to ask what it is pero hindi ko tinuloy. It's not like his father's the only one who has an illegal business. I mean maraming ganyan, matino ang negosyo pero may sideline.
"And please next time don't include my second name." bahagyang nasira ang mukha niya.
I laughed with his facial expression. "I was teasing you."
"The job they offered is really good. I was about to decline but they assured me my identity will be kept private, tapos binigyan pa nila ako ng condo."
"So are you okay with it?" he asked again.
Suddenly my mood went down. "Don't worry. I'll be fine." I guess.
Yet I was silently cursing in my head.
Nasanay kasi ako sa presensya niya. Sana hindi na lang siya dumating. Sana hindi na lang siya nagpakita. Sana hindi na lang siya nagparamdam.
De ja vou?
Sa huli iiwan din ako. Sa huli ako yung masasaktan.
My elder brother was silently seated at the sofa when I arrived. Hawak ang magazine, tumayo siya nang makita ako.
"Natagalan ka." he greeted.
Nnagyaya kasi ako kay Kief na kumain muna sa isang fast food bago makarating dito. "Traffic jam." palusot ko.
