"WE'RE MIGRATING TO NEW ZEALAND!!!"
Masayang bungad ni Daddy at ipinatong ang apat na plane ticket sa lamesa. I'm currently eating my brunch and with what daddy said, I think I'm going to skip another meal.
"Aren't you happy Ral?" Mom said while looking at me.
"Mom, we all know that I really love NZ and I dreamt of having a life there."
"Oh, ito na yun Ral! And tomorrow is our flight!!" Damn, my Mom is so happy with this.
"But that is when I already have my own job!" I said and put my utensils down. Nawalan na ko ng gana. Tomorrow?? Really?? Tss
I sat at my swivel chair once I enter my room. Bwiset talaga! Masyado naman kasing namb-bigla e!!
I heard a knock on the door and saw my brother with a little smirk flashed on his face.
"Yo dimwit" Kuya Blake said as he sat on my bed.
"Lumayas ka wala ako sa moo- ANONG PROBLEMA MONG BWISET KA??!!!" Binato ba naman ako ng unan?!
Kuya Blake laugh and try to throw another pillow again.
"Tara sa MaMoo?" With what Kuya Blake said, I smiled a little. He may be a piece of shit but he's still my brother.
"A minute."
After I arrange myself, I grab my hoodie and ran downstairs. I saw Kuya Blake watching while humming the theme song of Sofia the First grr
"I'm hungry Kuya"
Kuya Blake turned off the television at tsaka naunang maglakad papunta sa grahe. Well, hindi naman gaanong malayo ang MaMoo kaya madali lang din kaming nakarating.
I'm sitting at a very comfy couch type chair beside the glass wall while waiting for Kuya Blake. Iniisip ko kung paano ko mapapa-payag sina Mom at Dad na magpa-iwan na lang ako dito sa Pilipinas, tho there is 0.00001 percent of chance na pumayag sila.
"Here." My brother said as he put the foods at the table.
"Can I just be an exemption for tomorrow?" I said and sip on my coffee frappe.
"No."
Kuya Blake sighed. What? Nagb-baka sakali lang naman e.
"Look Ral. I got a job at NZ and since matagal na din namang plano ito nina Mom at Dad, I guess this is the right time para ituloy ang pagm-migrate natin."
"So matagal na pala. Bakit hindi nyo sakin sinabi agad?"
"Kasi alam namin na hindi ka papayag. You were too busy preparing your future at NZ, alone and Mom and Dad can't stop thinking kung kaya mo na ba. And I was the one who suggest na wag sabihin sayo. Besides, this will help you move on from what happen between you and Luke." He said and start eating his oreo cheesecake.
Paano nya nalaman?? It's been 5 months since that broke up thing happened and wala naman akong pinagsa-sabihan? So how the fuck Kuya Blake know that??
After we finished our food, we just buy some snacks at the supermarket and decided to go home. We still need to pack our things by the way.
I looked at my watch. Damn it, I only have few hours here.

"Mom? Is everything okay once we go there? Saan tayo titira?" Kuya Blake said out of nowhere. It's already 7am and we're on our way to the airport.
"I asked your Tita Edith to fix everything. Matagal na kaming nakapag pagawa ng bahay natin doon kaya wala na tayong problema." Mom said and smiled to us.
I put my airpods on and lean on the car's window. Pinag-handaan talaga nila to? Tss I felt betrayed. Alam nila lahat pero ako, ayun! Inaakala na ako lang ang pupunta sa New Zealand.
I felt a cold thing pressed against my cheek. I remove my airpods and when I look at its direction, I saw Kuya Blake smiling while handling me a bag of nachos and a bottle of iced coffee.
"Chill Ral, you'll be okay there. Isipin mo na lang na napa-advance yung pag punta mo sa New Zealand."
"Idiot. That's exactly what happened." I said and roll my eyes.
Kuya Blake laugh because of his stupidity.
Maybe I should embrace this fucking new life?
Should I?
