Loving My Best Friend (KAM) (Mossland's Affairs series #1) ✔️

14

The ride was awfully very loud with Kuya Lucas and Julian singing with their hearts out. I mean, they're not bad. They're good at it. Singing was one of their many qualities. Meanwhile, kuya Eduardo was very pissed at us, yes including me. Well, hindi naman masama mangarap na maganda ang boses, diba? 

He wasn't able to sleep peacefully. Aside from us singing, kuya Julian kept convincing kuya Eduardo to sing too. As a good listener, he had the best voice. He also loved jazz. One thing that we shared in common. 

Mga ilang minuto, nagreklamo na si Julian. Gutom na raw siya. Mukhang matatagalan pa kami dahil sa traffic. Nag-iingay na naman ang mga sasakyan. Hayst, busy city , busy streets. 

"Gutom na ako," sambit niya. He was tugging my bag and I gave him a glare. Wala na talaga akong pera tas ako pa manglilibre. Jusko, mababaod ako sa utang. 

"Uy, may pera ka diba?" tanong niya, pinipilit kunin ang bag ko. 

"kuya Enry, oh. Si kuya Julian, kinukuha niya bag ko. Wala talaga akong pera kuya,"

"Julian, open your wallet and Kana, why don't you have money anymore?" Jusko, parang hindi na ako interesado makipag-usap sa kaniya. Pati ba naman pagsinungaling ko, pag-uusapan din namin? 

"I-uh, I didn't withdraw money using my debit card. I'm trying to save," I tried not to stutter while talking to him. 

"Save? You have a lot of money and 1/4 of my revenue goes to your bank account," he looked at me as if I committed a crime. 

"I donate a lot and volunteer in activities kasi. I-uh, dad wanted me to continue what he was doing," I was already uncomfortable but then his gaze softened and instantly, I relaxed. Dad held a special part in his heart. We all know that.

"You should've told me about it. I can give you more. From now on, I'll give you half of my revenue in one of my businesses," he was about to grab his phone but I stopped him.

"Wag na kuya, ang dami ko nang pera. Tama na 'to," I refused his offer. Hindi ko namantalaga kailangan ng pera ngayon. Tsaka, tinuturuan ako ni Kenneth kung paano mag save ng pera. 

"If you say so," he shrugged and went back to sleep.

"Ako na manglibre, ano ba kayo? " He flexed his watch and bracelets and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Char mayaman si kuya Niran," sabi ko. Natahimik ako saglit dahil nakipag-eye contact ako sa driver. Jusko, akala ko may kidnapper. Mercenary lang pala. 

Maya maya nag stop kami sa Dino resto. Medyo marami-rami ang mga tao. When we all got inside, ngayon ko lang naman talaga na realize na mukha kaming masamang tao na may illegal na ginagawa. Something like a mafia.

"kuya ba't ako natatakot e wala naman tayong ginagawang masama?" I held kuya Julian's arm as we walked inside. Most of the people stood up and bowed slightly. Half of them, I guess, were too shocked to proccess the simple thing.
