CHAPTER 1: THE VENDOR
Cassidy Keyleigh's Point of View
"Noooonnnaa!"
"Noonnaaa!" he shouted again when he saw me I wasn't moving from my bed.
That yelling voice is none other than my little brother Crystan. He was always like that in the morning. Shouting at me as if he was older than me. Heck! Walong taon ang agwat namin for pete's sake.
"Stop shouting! Will you?" Iritadong sumbat ko. What does he want? Umagang umaga nambubulabog.
"Alright" Akala ko aalis na siya pero dumungaw ulit ito sa pintuan saka nagsalita uli "May laway ka po ate" pagbibiro niya bago isara ang pinto.
The heck ! Umagang umaga nang aasar na naman siya. He knew exactly how to tease me. No doubt he's really my brother.
Pagkatapos kong gawin ang morning rituals ko ay bumaba na ako para magtungo sa kitchen.
"GOOD MORNING LOLO! LOLA!" I cried, shouting out loud.
"Good morning din apo."
"Oh bat ang aga mo naman gumising ngayon apo?" Lolo asked, sitting on the table chair while reading a newspaper.
"Si Crystan po kase ang ingay" I complained as I glared at my brother, gritting my teeth.
Umupo na'ko sa tabi ni Crystan at nagsimulang kumain.
Hindi kami kumpleto pero masaya ako, kami. Ang lolo't lola ko na lang ang nag-aalaga saamin simula nang mamatay ang magulang ko at sa mismong kaarawan ko pa. Walong taong gulang ako noon nang mamatay sila, ngunit hindi ko masiyadong matandaan ang mga nangyari. Siguro nga masiyado pa'kong bata noon.
"Wala ka bang pupuntahan ngayon Keyleigh?"
Napatigil ako sa pagsubo ng aking pagkain at nagtatakang tumingin kay Lolo.
"You mean, pwede na po akong lumabas grandpa?" malawak ang ngiti kong tanong. I can't help but smile widened. You know, lolo wasn't like that before. Ni ayaw niya nga kaming lumabas ni Crystan e baka daw may mangyaring masama saamin.
He nod.
"Omo! Thank you po." I screamed as I stood up and hugged Grandpa.
"How about me Granny?" My brother inquired.
"You can't go out Breyleigh. You're too young to go out. It's dangerous out there." Ani lolo.
"But I want to go to mall Granny." he insisted, pouting his lips.
"Hindi ka daw pwedeng lumabas." I grinned, my eyebrows waggled.
"What? But grandpa. I really want to go to mall." he panted like a child.
I secretly grinned when Grandpa ignored him.
"Keyleigh?" Grandma called.
"Po?"
