AMOROUS 2: Bhryle Steven James (Completed)

Chapter 2

#A2HeWhoDontCallMeAte

A long silence habang ginagamot ko si Bhryle. I actually wanted to talk to him pero ayoko naman magpaka-kapal mukha na kausapin siya. At baka ayaw niya din ng kausap.

He seems... off.

Habang ginagamot ko siya, nakatulala lang siya. Hindi siya tumitingin sa sugat niya tapos hindi na din siya uma-aray o nag-react. Why is it na pakiramdam ko manhid na siya sa mga sugat niya? I noticed na may iba pang scars sa kamay niya. It's quite disturbing now that close sa mata ko ang kamay niya. His face is expressionless. Tapos parang ang dami-dami niyang iniisip kasi nakakunot palagi ang noo niya.

I wonder what he was thinking but Doctor has arrived.

"Nurse Sandross, is it a deep cut?" Sabi ni Doc.

Nagkatinginan ulit kami ni Bhryle and God knows how much I wanted our eye contact.

"No, Doctor," I responded.

"Okay, that's good. Bhryle you are having a good meal with your father tonight." Sabi ni Doc. And I think that is my cue para umalis na. "And that means you have no choice but to be with me, son."

The doctor grinned and that makes him look like a really good father.

I excused myself sa kanilang dalawa and left the office.

Doc just nodded.
Bhryle didn't even look at me.

Well, that's no disappointment since I am not that type of a person na ma-down sa maliit na bagay.

My duty is finally over after several runs sa hospital. It was fine for me na busy palagi. Pero I am thinking na din na gusto ko nang mag-settle sa life.

Pero mahirap kasi na magsettle kung hindi mo alam kung sino ba talaga ang kasama mo for a lifetime.

I always long for a big family of my own. And I have saved money enough for my future child. I mean, I always am ready for everything but never ready for falling in love.

And this is the reason why I always settle for crush lang.

Kasi safe ako.

Atleast kung masasaktan man ako ay hindi naman worst. Kasi walang kami. Mas gusto ko naman na ganito lang naman muna.

I took my car out and went home.

Habang palapit na ako sa bahay ay pansin kong may nakabuntot na motorbike sa akin. At since hindi ko malaman kung sino man ang nasa likoran ko dahil sa tinted helmet niya. I decided to speed up.

I am not scared of almost anything.

Kaya just drive well, Amelie.

But the motorbike has been tagging all along, I took a glimpse sa side mirrors kung ano kulay nang motorbike and figured that it was just my younger brother.

"Andre," I said while driving and rolled my eyes.

Nakarating ako sa bahay at lumabas kaagad sa kotse. I saw Andre parked his motorbike and I crossed my arms for him.

"Never late for dinner, huh." He said and took off his helmet and other gears. Man, he is so equipped.

He approached me and hugged me.

"You smell like blood." He said.

"And you smell like gas," I replied.

Ginulo niya buhok ko.

Bakit ba kasi mas matangkad pa sa atin ang mga nakababata nating kapatid? Lalong-lalo na kapag lalaki. It's so unfair kaya.

Pero watching them growing up is such a beautiful sight. My younger brother is the complete opposite of me.

I am organized and he is not.
I plan everything first hand and he is an "on the spot" type of person.

"I miss you, Ams." Sabi niya.

"You should call me Ate, little one."

Naglalakad na kami ng sabay papasok sa bahay.

Yungg bahay namin na super modern tignan, it was build nang wala pa kami nag-exist ni Andre sa world. My Mom's vision for sketching this house is somewhere lost in the future generation. Kaya parang bago tignan kahit na build na for how many years. An Architect.

Pero none of us took Mom's architect gene. Since I became a nurse and Andre became a businessman. Like, Dad.

Well, hindi na ako magugulat na magiging businessman si Andre. He is so good with decisions. Kaso nga hindi siya organized. That's why Father has to hire a very patient secretary.

I mean, it is a good thing na nagpursue si Andre ng business dahil siya ang heir for my Father's company.

"How was work?" He asked.

"Same as usual," I replied.

He opened the door for me.

"Thanks."

"You should get yourself a boyfriend." He said.

I laughed, "Now you're starting to beg me about that." Sabi ko.

Mom greeted us nang makapasok na kami sa bahay.

"You guys are early tonight. I miss you both." Sabi ni Mommy.

"Well, mana sayo ako Mom. Ams just always late mga 10 seconds." I rolled my eyes when Andre said that.

"Ate, Andre. Ate. You should try calling me Ate."

He laughed and winked at me.

He is such a player.

Pero hindi ko alam kung ano ang status ng lovelife niya ngayon. The last time na nag-uusap kami about Lovelife ay yung parehas kaming nakipagbreak sa mga jowa namin.

Well, Andre and I are very much peculiar as a sibling in a way na open kami sa isat-isa. Which is unusual sa magkakapatid, diba.

Kasi Andre loves talking to me and teasing me and I just let him.

It's just that he doesn't call me "ate" even if he is just 2 years younger than me.
