CHAPTER FORTY ONE

LUXRAE

Magkaharap kami ngayong magkakapatid sa kwarto ko. I just can't believe that Luxrine knows the truth. Damn. Is she mad at me? Galit ba siya dahil akala niya ibinigay ko siya sa iba?

"Is it true, Kuya? Luxrine is our real sister?" tanong ni Luxrill. Sa kanilang dalawa ni Luxer ay mas close siya kay Luxrine.

"Y-yes. I did it for her sake, for her own good." I looked at Luxrine na nanatiling nakayuko. "I'm sorry, lilsis. I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth. It just the best decision not just for you but also for our clan. I know I'm not the best brother. I'm really sorry."

My eyes started to tear up. Hindi ko inaasahan na ganito ang mangyayari. So they really plan this tonight. Naramdaman kong niyakap ako ni Luxrine.

"I understand, Kuya. You're still always there whenever I needed you. Binantayan mo pa rin ako at inalagaan.  You let me experience to have a parent by my side. Thank you, Kuya Luxrae. You're always the best brother for me."

Parang may kung anong yumakap sa puso ko sa sinabi niya. It's the first time I heard something sweet from my siblings. It's a good feeling inside.

"Eh, ako kulit? Hindi ba ako the best ha?" tanong ni Luxrill at inakbayan si Luxrine. Nagbibirong inirapan niya ang kuya.

"Hindi."

"Ouch. You just hurt my feelings." Madramang hinawakan ni Luxrill ang dibdib niya kaya natawa ako. I know Luxrill is happy to know that she is his real sister.

"Wala ka na bang tinatagong kapatid natin, Kuya? Mamaya may sumulpot na naman," pabirong tanong sa akin ni Luxrill.

Umiling ako. "Nothing. No more secrets from now on. I'm glad buo na tayong magkakapatid. I hope our parents are happy wherever they are."

"Oo naman, Kuya!"

"Ang importante magkakasama-sama na tayong magkakapatid."

Lumapit si Luxer kay Luxrine at ginulo ang buhok nito na isinimangot naman ng isa. I know Luxer is adjusting and I'm glad that he's trying his best to be close to us. Hindi rin naman namin siya pababayaan.

We are always here for each other.

"May bago na pala akong kapatid na babae. I hope you're not as stubborn as Zeiah," nakangiting sabi ni Luxer.

"Kung alam mo lang, Kuya. She's a brat." kumento naman ni Luxrill. Hilig niya talagang asarin si Luxrine. Hindi na magbabago iyon since that's how they treat each other. Iyon na rin ang lambingan nilang dalawa.

"Group hug!" Maya-maya's sigaw ni Luxrill.

Sabay silang tatlo na yumakap sa akin. Natawa na lang ako sa kanila at gumanti rin. Aside from Zeiah, they're the most important person in my life. No words could explain how happy I am right now.

Finally, my family is complete.

ZEIAH

"I'm sorry," patuloy pa rin sa pag-iyak si Master Vhax habang yakap-yakap ako. Kanina pa siya ganito. Nmumugto rin ang mata ko sa kakaiyak.

Natapos ang party at nandito kami ngayon sa iisang kwarto. Kami ni Master Vhax. Sila Luxrae naman ay nag-usap din ng mga kapatid niya.

"Wala po kayong kasalanan. Hindi niyo po kailangan mag-sorry. Ang mahalaga po nandito na ako at magkasama tayo," naluluha ring sabi ko.
