"Mom! Dad!" It was Kuya Alezander.
"Kuya," I continuously knock on his door. "What's wrong?"
"Kuya! Is everything fine?" I shouted. "Kuya, please answer!"
I kept knocking on the door until it opened. Kuya Ali stood in front of me and he seemed dazed.
I held him in both of his shoulders and looked at him from head to toe. "What happened? Are you okay?" I whispered. I took a peek at his room to see anything weird. When I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, I returned my gaze to him.
"I-I'm okay. Nothing to worry about." Bumalik siya sa loob ng kwarto niya. Sinundan ko siya sa loob. "I just had a nightmare."
A nightmare...
"Are you sure?" Umupo ako sa sofa niya habang sya naman ay umupo sa kama niya.
"Yeah," He assured me. "What are you doing here, by the way?"
"Huh?" I raised my brow. "Oh, that! Do you have anything to do today? I would like to ask about my papers at school." I said.
"I'll take a bath first." He said and stood up.
Pumunta ako sa pinto niya para lumabas. Before I go, I looked back and called him.
"Kuya..." He looked at me. "Are you sure you're... okay?" I whispered.
He smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I am. No need to worry about me." I nodded at what he said and left his room.
For some reason, I'm not convinced by his answer.
Kuya Alezander asked to see him in his office once he had finished getting dressed for work. I really thought he's here in the Philippines to rest but he said hindi siya mapakali ng hindi nagtatrabaho.
"The papers are now okay. Raiden forgot that certain document your new school needed which is why he requested your former school for it," he said while fixing his suit. Humarap siya sa akin to ask if it's okay na.
"Your necktie is crooked, fix it," I said, laughing, and he proceeded to fix it in front of the mirror. "So, does that mean I can resume attending my classes?"
"Yes, don't worry. Everything's okay."
Tumango ako sa kanya at sinabing, "okay. Thank you so much! Good luck on your day!"
Nagpaalam na ako at lumabas ng office niya. Hindi na ako nagbother na magtanong ulit tungkol sa nangyari sa kanya. He probably won't tell it to me naman. I'll just wait for him to tell it to me whenever he's ready.
I don't really know what to do today. Nagikot-ikot ako sa bahay hanggang sa makarating ako sa kitchen.
