Chapter 36 - The Best Son
*Linus' POV*
Nabigla kaming lahat dahil hindi talaga namin inaasahan na dadating si Nero. He is just someone we don't expect from anymore.
"Gising na si Zephyr?" habol hininga niyang tanong.
Ang sarap lang barahin nitong isang to. Kita naman niyang nandito kami at malapit kay kuya, tinatanong pa.
Pansin ko namang nilibot niya ng tingin ang paligid at saka naintindihan ang sitwasyon.
"Zephyr," tawag niya kay Kuya.
Walang galang. Kala mong hindi mas matanda si Kuya sa kaniya.
Ano naman kaya ang kailangan niya kay kuya?
"Can you leave us for a moment?" request ni Kuya Zeph na ikinagulat namin. Di kasi namin inaasahan na gusto niya makausap si aso after ng nangyari.
Hindi naman si Nero ang dahilan kung bakit siya nagkaganyan but we know for a fact that Nero is the guy whom Jannie likes. And learning that the person you cherishes the most likes someone, that would really hurt and scar you.
Nagkatinginan pa kaming magkakapatid at nagpalit palit ang tingin kay Kuya Zeph at kay Nero.
"Let's go. It's Kuya Nero's turn." pangunguna ni Niven na bumasag sa panandaliang katahimikan sa pagitan naming lahat.
"Oo nga. Let's get to the nearest resto and take out some food. Kuya Zeph must have missed his favorite foods. We gotta buy him food and Nero too." dagdag naman ni Lanier.
Dahil nanguna na yung dalawa, nakigaya na lang kaming tatlo at tumayo sa kinauupuan namin. We got no choice but to leave since it is his request.
But before we leave, I approached Kuya Zephyr.
"Is this really alright with you? Talking to Nero, I mean." nagdadalawang isip kong tanong.
"I am fine. Got no worries. Thank you for thinking about me, Linus." he answered smiling genuinely and warmly at me.
With such smile beaming, I guess I would entrust this situation to him.
I was about to leave without a word to Nero but I thought I should say something to him too."Hey," I called him.
He didn't reply but paid a gaze at me.
"We know where Jannie is. I just feel like telling you this. It's up to you whether what action you'll take."
Pagkasabi ko non, tinalikuran ko na siya at sumunod kay na Lanier. I don't want to mind whatever his answers for the words I mentioned. What I wanted to see from him are his future actions.
I like Jannie. I really do. But she can't be really happy with me. But I know someone who can make her happy. I just hope that someone makes a move.
*End of Linus' POV*
*Zephyr's POV*
"Is this really alright with you? Talking to Nero, I mean." nag-aalangang tanong ni Linus sakin.
"I am fine. Got no worries. Thank you for thinking about me, Linus." I answered not making him worried.
I'm glad he is worried about me and checking me out but I don't want to cause more trouble to any of them anymore. I've done so much that could worry them and that's enough. It's time to regain myself and no longer creep like a coward.
Nakita kong bago umalis si Linus ay may ibinulong siya kay Nero. Marahil ay binabalaan niya si Nero.
He doesn't need to do that. Nero won't harm me anymore. I've had enough suffering from my insecurities and inferiority complex.
