Summer to Forget ✔️

12

The next day, a woman stepped on our house likes she owns it. Everyone was busy including her, who's busy instructing the maids. Dad must have really prepared for this day.

Instead of staying in our living room, I went to my brothers' room and saw that they are doing their workouts since the gym is far from our home. Tuwing sabado at linggo lang rin naman sila hindi nakakapag-gym.

Naabutan ko si Namiel na nagpu-push up sa sahig kaya agad ko itong nilapitan at inupuan ang likod niya kaya pareho kaming bumagsak sa sahig na tumatawa. Habang si Rawl naman ay nagpla-plank rin. Rawl is the serious ones, kaya minsan hindi ko siya napapagtripan, sa takot ko lang na masigawan niya. Talagang hindi ko magagagawang mang-trip sa kaniya.

After I stood up from falling and sat on a single bamboo couch. Their room is a bamboo themed so when you will look around, you will see bamboos everywhere. Their room has ship designs too, the both of them would love to work on ships someday. But as far as I know, Rawl loves managing businesses more.

If others came from the family of doctors or other professions, our family are from the family of seafarers or seamen. Halos lahat ata ng lalaki sa aming pamilya ay kumukuha ng kursong pambarko, kaya nagkaroon na rin ng sariling agency ang aming pamilya. Papa was part and interested about those things before. Noong hindi pa siya nagkainteres sa politika at hindi pa nag-aaway ang pamilya.

Obviously, they were all mad at him. The decisions that he chose to choose, when he can chose another choice to save the family. Save happiness. Masyadong matayog lang talaga ang pride niya. Na kahit sino ay hindi makakatibag nito. Even us, his children.

"She's acting like a bitch and I hate it. I hate her." iritado kong sabi sa dalawa habang tinitigan ang mga kuko sa kamay.

"Just let her be." he answered simply that I could feel my blood boiling.

"What?" I was surprised by his answer. Hindi ko napigilang mapasigaw sa sinabi niya.

They knew me for being calm but not now. Not in this situation. He seem surprised with my sudden shout and became annoyed by it.

"You want me to tell you those words again?"

"Oh! Just shut up! You're always
annoying, Namiel."

"What?"

"You want me to tell you those words again?" I mocked and talked to Kuya Rawl. Atleast he's better than Namiel.

"Hey, favorite brother. Thoughts?" I asked. Pinariringgan na rin si Namiel para ma-irita rin siya sa akin.

He looked at me with his brows, furrowed. "Haven't seen her yet. Don't want to, too." he answered and continued his routine.

"Pasali naman dyan!" singit pa ni Namiel, nagpupunas pa ito ng kaniyang pawis. Truth to be told, the both of them looks handsome, pero mas lamang ng kaunti si Namiel dahil maarte ito sa kaniyang mukha. While, Rawl, on the other hand, walang arte sa mukha pero gusto niya ay lagi siyang fit.

Parang may pinapasikatan.

"Who you?" pang-iirita ko pa sa kaniya.

Let's see who will win, brother dear.

"Kuya mo, ulol ka." sagot niya kaya hindi ko na nadugtungan pa dahil sa kakatawa ko.

We were all comforting ourselves until their phones both rang. It was a call from a group chat. Namiel just let his phone rang when Rawl stood up and picked the call.

"Oh?"

"What?"

"Are you serious man?"

"How did that happen?"
