79: hello and goodbye
Pi
I watched my brother do something I couldn’t quite grasp he could. He stashed few cash on his closet, did some actual paper works, called his men and closed a deal.
Pretty impressive.
But not really.
...because it’s too much work to do for a nineteen year old boy. No matter how much he claims to be a man instead of a boy, he’s still my little brother. It was rather alarming seeing him busy with illegal stuff at young age.
Andaming bagay na pwedeng gawin ng nineteen year old, yet his life sucks as he took over the family business.
“Don’t look at me like you want me to stop whatever I am doing,” narinig kong sabi ni John. “C’mon sis, do you really want to take over?
No but I don’t want him to do it either.
My brother’s IQ is one point below genius yet he is undeniably smart but he claims he isn’t just because of his so-called IQ count. When you tell him not to be stupid, he’ll say it is only normal knowing he’s one point below being stupid.
Ayaw ko lamang na maharap siya sa mga mahihirap na sitwasyon.
Like gun fights.
Ambush.
Other threats.
I was just lucky before because Zero got my back.
And speaking of him, where the hell is he?
“Where’s Zero?” biglang tanong ko.
John smirked at me. “Who do you think I just called?”
“That was Zero?”
He had a smug look on his face. “No, that’s his stupid right hand because he’s somewhat busy. But yes, he’s in-charged. And another yes to something you didn’t ask, but he’s the one who actually found you.”
It was a relief knowing Zero stayed by the family despite knowing everything. One day I’ll catch up with him. And back to John, I only hate him doing this because life is not always rainbow and butterflies.
“Are you aware how dangerous this is?” tanong ko sa kanya.
He threw himself on the couch. “Of course but it’s basically normal. I am aware one day it’s possible I’ll end up as a dead body buried on someone’s yard like ours.”
Napangiwi ako sa kanya. At some point I agree he’s thinking like a man. “Hindi nakakatuwa ang birong iyan Juan!”
He just shrugged. “P, my motto in life is ‘mamatay din naman tayong lahat sa huli so why not live life to the fullest?”
