Enmeshed Kinship

06

"I knew the thing between Michael and Blake b-but w-what's your role in here?" She asked me being careful with words she'll be using maybe not to offend me.

"Since when did you know that?!"
She gave me that questionable look, I got out of control, I forgot that she don't know the thing of me and Blake (And judge).

"I-i'm sorry"

"How are you related to them Sara?"
I don't what she's thinking but it's clearly not about jealousy.

"M-michael, He was uh-" I looked at me as he was doing the same thing.

"He was my friend"
"She was my girlfriend"

What the hell is he thinking.We talked exactly the same time we said the pronoun, so we had no time giving each other the warning kung anong sasabihin.Hindi na nangapa.

"What?!you're so assuming you only liked me but you obviously had no chance kaya noh!"

"You told me how formidable I am with others and sweet when with you. You clarified that from the very first minute you agreed with our relationship, Sara."
His voice were really sounded husky.He could be Scofield with his actions, thoughts and voice. I already checked the skin behind the shirt of his, there's no tattoo. Negative.He don't have explicit plan pala about his notion. On what could it be, if there's plan B-Z ba if the A one didn't go well or what.

"See?She's only in denial"

"I'm not young anymore,tell me the truth, you both are suspicious you should have improved your acting skills next time we have this kind of moment"
Jeez, we aren't really good liars to the ones we were close to, or should I say the one who don't deserve it.

"I can't tell you yet Allison please"

"All things about all of you are clearly surreal!"She sat at the chair kung saan ako nakaupo kanina, and she was like sobbing with her position, hands on her face over the table, soles over that one part under the table,overlapping on it and her slightly curved back as I've seen it beside me.

I was about to touch her, I think my presence were tangible kaya bigla siyang tumayo. Maybe she only acted?I've seen no tears on her.
"I'm totally kidding, I know you're not flirting with them right?"
My disgusted emotion just appeared for a deca.
"Of course not!"

Things got settled regarding our little secrets.Na naman.

All were still unbelivable. I just now realized the same angle of Michael and Blake.They're brothers. Michael was that person I met maybe ten years ago.

Blake and I were playing in the garden when I heard something from our gate.Someone threw a small rock in it.I opened it to see who was it and I've seen a man maybe in the same age as I am.I don't want to say this if it's pejorative but he do looks homeless although he looks contrary with his aura.

"Bata! Alam mo bang masama yung ginagawa mo?Bakit mo ginawa yun?" I sounded 'mas bata'at my age and with my words but I wanted him not to misunderstood that I only wanted to be nice.

"Are you solely pertaining to me?"

"Y-yes"I stuttered feeling dubious answering him with the same language he's using.Maybe he was rich but what happened then? Or is this some kind of social experiment and he forgot to act his role out?

"What made you think that I'm the only one in a wrong side?"

"I don't understand you, what are you implying and how is it connected to what you've done?"

"We all have the diversity and that doesn't mean that if the other one got into the wrong one, the other one's automatically the good one.Sometimes we're notorious because of what they think we came from, not from what we are right now. They keep on giving attention to those people whom they've seen striving to what they're in the present, but they don't honestly know where and how they've gotten so far. They forgot the limitations."

"I don't really understand you, are you some sort of putting the logic in throwing the rock,having force and the friction on that, on how it will bounce like reflection, are you scientist?"

"I'm not, but I didn't do what you think I did purposely. It isn't rock that I threw if that's what you think. I killed the pest with my broken flipflops and because you were inside the safe house, 'the good one' I'm saying earlier, you were behind it, so you won't see what's happening outside. If you still don't understand, I just want to ask if all of you were one sided? Don't you have devil's advocate?"He chuckled.

"I do understand it now. But u-hm what's your name?"I don't want to change the topic yet but I have to fulfill this curiousity of mine, it's significant to someone whom I'm close to.

"I'm 16 and I don't do flirt"He proudly said

"I don't do that either!" We're like captive inside our house, I just want to travel if I ever got the chance, I already focused being in love for years of living, the difference is it's my family,I'm saying. "I just want to know, you looked like someone so close to me"

I saw him smiled a little,his smile looked smirk eh but it's not in a silly way naman, I think I can say nalang na that's how he smile.

"If that's your brother, tell him to wait for me"

He knows my brother? How? Are they related or something? Is it the reason why he's here?probably wanting to give him attention from anyone inside this house.Does he want me to be his messenger to Blake? Not yet.Not until I knew what he wants. And why.

I don't know how long he waited for my response or how long I wanted him to explain more from what he's saying earlier but then when my senses came back, wala na siya. Who's him? Is he one of Blake's relatives? Hinahanap na ba siya ng mga ito? Sana ol.

"Here. Drink" Michael gave me glass of water and so I accepted it. "You kept on brooding at afternoon, what more later night? You should think of your job, you only have to be silent with our secret"

He acted child with his hand gesture for secrets, placing his forefinger on his lips with little sounds "shhh"

"There's an impostor among us."
