"I'm sorry kuya! I'm really sorry!"

I was biting my lower lip habang dinadampi sa mukha nito ang yelo. I threw my shoe so hard and it landed exactly on his face that It leave a red mark.

He took a glimpse on me. "Okay lang. Ako na." He said in a soft voice before he stole the ice from me and quietly leaned against the counter top.

I didn't protest and let him do it.

Nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya. "Ano ba kasing kinakalikot mo sa ref? Gutom ka ba? What do you want to eat?"

"Nilalagay ko lang 'yung dinala kong mangga," he answered, calmly. Didn't even bother to look at me. Napatingin ako sa sako sa tabi ng ref namin. I didn't even notice that earlier.

I gasped. "Oh, I though—"

I didn't finish my sentence when my phone rang. It's my mom so I immediately excuse myself and answered it.

[Shanna, anak. We forgot to tell you! I think your brother already in the house. Nandiyan na ba siya?"]

"Y-yes, mom." I even mistaken him as a thief! Nasaktan ko tuloy siya.

[All right. I'm on my way home from grocery. Wait for me. Also, help him to unpack his things.]

"Wh— Oh. I almost forgot." I lightly hit my forehead. It's been two years already. He's going to live here like he what he promised 2 years ago. Bakit nawala sa isip ko? I sighed heavily. "Yes, mom. I'll help him po."

My eyes darted on his things. Seems like he went straight to the kitchen that's why I didn't saw his things pagpasok ko. Mom really gave him a spare key.

[Looks like he surprised you, huh. Okay, I'm going to drive now, love you.]

"Okay. Take care. I love you."

I sighed heavily once again and cocked my head where my brother is. It's been 2 years since I last saw him. He's been living in their province and I assumed he didn't get much of time for himself. His hair was long that the one side of his face was almost covered my his bangs. He's wearing faded grey shirt and black jeans. Honestly for me, it's already out of the trend. Saka hindi talaga nawala ang silver necklace nito. Trademark ba 'yun ng mga promdi?

I guess he's always staying under the sun? He had now a tan skin tone. Malapit na nga siyang maging kakulay ni Third. I glanced back on his face. I pouted when I remembered what happened earlier.

Until I realized he's looking at me too. My eyes quickly widened. "W-wag mo 'kong isusumbong, ah!"

He slowly nodded and shifted his gaze to something else. The side of my lips rose.

Tumungo naman ako sa mga gamit niya. "Let's bring these to your room na."

He quietly put down the ice on the sink and walk towards me. He grabbed the two suitcases, and he's about to take the bag when I stopped him.
