Lucas' POV

"Pinagtitripan mo ba ako?" I raised my eyebrow. Wala ako sa mood makipag-lokohan.

"No, Sir. I just want you to come to. . . check the documents for the meeting." she continued and lend me the papers.

"Say it right." I said and took them all. Bumalik ako sa office para magpalit ng bagong suit. Darn, I need to wash this before my wife finds out. It's difficult for stain to go away. She might scold me.

I was currently changing my suit when my phone rang. There are too many texts from Kuya Samuel. Well, it's because Danny and I fought earlier. He's too protective to her sister.

From Bee's Brother:
Fix your mess or else I will come there to punch you!

I trust you, Landon! Please don't let me have a trust issue.

Danny's crying so I called Chaster instead. Unti na lang talaga hindi na ako pabor!

I rolled my eyes and got my car keys. I talked to my secretary to fixed my schedule again and again. "Just thinking about my brother gives me nuts."

Danny's POV

"Ano, I love you?! Sabi mo I love you?" hinampas ko siya ng envelope kaya hinarang niya ang kamay niya sa bawat hampas ko. Hinabol ko siya hanggang sa pader na lang ang masasandalan niya.

"Okay, Panget! Sorry na hindi na kita mahal!" he said that made me stop. I laughed sarcastically and pinched his arms.

"Ouch, Oo na. Hindi na talaga." he added. Lumayo ako at binaba ang envelope na hawak ko.

"Be careful with your words! You're giving me a headache! Argh, De Mesa! Umalis ka na kasi eh."

"But, Samuel told me to stay with you."

"He said that?" I asked and he nodded.

"Stop giving me some bullshts! Just go. Kahit peace of mind na lang? Pwede ba 'yon?"

"Ayaw. Chaster will stay whether you like it or not." napasandal na lang ako sa swivel chair at inayos ang mga papeles para sa darating na bagong supply ng shop.

"Just do your work. Moral support ako." he added and patted my head.

Kinuha niya ang ukelele sa gilid ng file organizer at umupo ulit siya sa harap ko. "Request naman, My number one fan."

"Manahimik ka! Wala sa tono 'yan." walang ganang sabi ko.

"Ayan, Nakatono na. Ayaw mo ah. Edi ako na lang mag-rerequest."

Nagsimula na siyang mag-strum at nagpatuloy lang ako sa ginagawa ko. Argh, I can't stop him anyway. I just let him to play the ukelele he gave to me years ago. Ang tagal ko ng hindi ginagamit yon'. Simula nang mangyari ang kasal namin ni Lucas.

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I looked at his eyes. I can always see the pain. Chaster gave me everything I've wished for. I can't still imagine that I'd hurt him. I tried my best not to and it's just that I can't. . . Believe me, I tried.

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
It could be so nice, growing old with you

"Chaster, Enough." I said but he refused and continue singing.

I'll miss you
Kiss you. . .
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let you hold the remote control
