It was Saturday today. I was already up around 9 am since I slept early last night. I sent a message to Flynne (Couple thingy.) before I went straight to the bathroom to do my morning routine. 

After that I headed downstairs. My parents and my brother were already eating their breakfast. They greeted me when they saw me. My brother only glimpse, formed a small smile at me. Bigla tuloy nag-bounce back ang nangyari kahapon. I immediately looked away.

I still didn't get it. Why he had to leaned closer to me? Bigla tuloy akong nag-freak out! We're siblings for pete's sake! Hindi pwede 'yun! But, duh, why is it so big deal to me? Siguro ganoon lang talaga ang mga tao sa probinsiya. Unpredictable. Ugh. Ika nga nila, expect the unexpected. Eventually, masasanay din naman ako sa ugali niya.

I shove it away from my mind and quietly took a seat beside him. As usual, he's eating his food with poker face.

"Since it's Saturday. Why don't you go to the mall today?"

I quickly looked up at my mom. Nagising ang diwa ko sa sinabi niya. She wanted us to stroll in the mall! Bigla akong na-excite!

"Your brother also needs a phone. Buy a one. Ilibot mo na din siya sa doon para naman maging familiar siya sa lugar dito," she looked at him, smiling.

He stopped eating and glanced back at my mom.

"Great idea. Use my card, Shanna. Buy what you want. Huwag mong titipirin ang kuya mo," Dad chimed in as he smiled at us.

I smiled widely, "Yes, Dad!"

Lumingon ako sa kaniya. His face lighten up a little. I smirked.

"Navy polo shirt and white trouser. Wear it." I handed him those. His brows furrowed when he looked at it. "That's the usually outfit when going to the mall," I added, avoiding his gaze. Hindi naman kasi totoo ang sinasabi ko. Bakit ba! Mamaya, outfit ng magsasaka ang suotin niya 'e!

We're going to buy everything he needs later naman, so I decided to lend my father's old clothes to him.

"Sige," he simply answered and was about to close his door when I speak again.

"Put the belt tapos i-tuck in mo 'yun shirt, okay?"

He stared at me for a second before he nodded and closed his door.

I enthusiastically clapped my hands. All right!

I went back to my room to change and get ready.

Isang white flutter sleeve top na abot sa kalahating braso ang maluwag na sleeve at lagi kong sinasamahan ng khaki square pants ang outfit ko. After that I took my white back-strap wedge sandal.

I only applied foundation and lip balm on my face. Just to make my face glow. Hindi naman ako fan ng make-up.

When I'm all ready, lumabas na ako ng room ko. Sakto din ang paglabas ni Kuya.

Napa-ayos ako ng postura dahil sa itsura niya.

My lips parted as I scanned him.

His body was more defined by the shirt since it's fitted. I didn't know he has such a built. He really looks good on his outfit. Hindi ako nagkamaling kunin ito sa closet ni Daddy. He didn't take off his necklace. Maybe, the only thing that is not suit to him was his long hair. He needs a haircut. I scanned him for a minute before I decided to walk towards him.
