Still Into You (Negros Series #1)

Still Into You 23

"How's Sipaway? That island is a treasure." My dad.

We're eating lunch. I miss this moment together. Parang bumalik ako sa nakaraan, except for the fact that we all became older.

"Nasa Sipaway ka ate? Omg the gang are planning to have a vacation there. Isabay mo naman kami." Andrea giving side comments. Ganyan siya palagi, siya lang din ang makakagawa niyan. She's so talkative, magmula ng bata hanggang ngayon.

"It's great Dad. San Carlos is indeed a nice place to go to."

"Do they have sharks there, ate?" Arkien innocently asked. Geez, he looks serious like Dad.

"We have lots of seafoods there, Arki. You will love it." Yumuko ako para ngitian siya.

"Talaga ate? Can you take me there?"

"Do you want to?" Tumango siya sa akin.

"Wow. Island girl." Kuya Anthon commented.

"Diba kuya? Her skin is dazzling!" Papuri naman ni Andrea.

I smiled at them as I continue with my food. Mom was just looking at us listening to our stories while smiling.

"Did you met a man there, Alex? Boyfriend?" Dad asked. Muntik pa akong mabilaukan dahil dun.

"Daddy of course he will met a man. Ano ate? Maraming tourists doon diba? Are they hot? I'm talking about men you know." Andrea giggles. My goodness, Andrea and her crush list. Hanggang ngayon ba naman?

"Nicole." Dad interrupted her daydreaming. Hindi siya natakot sa seryosong pagtawag ng ama namin sa kanya. She even hideously laugh.

"Walang jowa, ate? Bisaya people are good looking." Bulong niya sa akin. Umismid nalang ako. Pinapagitnaan nila akong dalawa ni Arkien at sa harap namin ay si kuya at mommy. Samantala si daddy naman ay sa gitnang upuan nakaupo.

"How's your life there, anak? Did you eat well? You're waist is small." Mom asked this time.

"Mom is that a compliment? She looks sexy kaya." Andrea would not really stop giving side comments.

"I have a house there mom. I bought it and just made a lot of renovations." That's the first project I ever done. I'm so proud of myself.

"That's my twin. Architect ko yan." Kuya gave me a salute. Look who's talking, that's my Attorney.

"Dad aren't you proud? You have a lawyer and agriculture, architecture, Arki you want to be an engineer right?" Arki happily nod at Andrea. "See? You will also have an engineer. And then me, you will have a Doctor soon." She's so proud.

Tumikhim si Daddy at nanlumo kay Andrea. Or maybe sa huling sinabi niya. "Of course I'm proud of my children. And you should study hard. Medical field is not a playground to play on."

"I played with chemicals in our laboratory, Dad." Ngumuso siya. I laughed while looking at her pouty red lips. Even kuya laughed too.

This is what I really miss the most. Nothing can break our bond as a family together. No matter how annoying my sister is, I still love her. I'm really blessed to have them.

"Alex, we will talk later. I still have works to do."

That's what Dad told me before he left. I actually need to talk to him. Madami akong tanong na kailangan sagutin. Maybe we can discuss about it when he comes back. Alam ko din na gagabihin siya ng uwi. It's always like that. It's either he will go home late or spend the night at his office on the City hall.
