My Knight And Shining Princess

"HUHUHUHU." na patawa ako ng marinig ang malakas na hagulgol ng kapatid kong si Khairro, na paka cute niya kasi lalo na pag umiiyak.

"Baby why are you crying?" pag bababy ni mommy sa eleven years old na anak niya HAHAHAHAHA.

"M-mommy someone push me in the ground HUHUHUHU look at my shoes It's now dirty HUHUHUHU, t-thats why ate is laughing at me." na pangiti ako ng marinig ang sinabi niya, hayy you look so innocent baby Khai I wonder what's going to be your attitude when you grow up.

"Oh look at my baby boy your so dirty nga and you also have sugat come to ate and she will cure your wounds ok?" at pinahawak ni Mommy sa akin ang kaninang hawak-hawak niyang kamay ni Khai.

Laging spoiled si Khai kay Mom pero never akong nag selos or na inis dahil don because Khai is a very special child, yes he's a special child lagi siyang binubully sa school because of his childish act pero hindi nila alam na may sakit pala siya.

"A-ate." tawag niya habang ginagamot ko ang sugat niya sa siko dahil tinulak siya ng mga kaklase niya.

"Yes baby Khai?" I ask him Khai is 11 while I'm 15 pero mas matangkad siya sakin kaya minsan na pag kakamalan kaming mag nobyo at nobya kahit kasi special child ang kapatid ko ay hindi ito ma hahalata hanggat hindi ito nag sasalita.

"Thank you for saving me awhile ago ate, you are my knight and shining princess." na pa ngiti ako dahil sa sinabi niya one of the reason why I love this kid, he's so sweet, he's soft, and caring.

"Ate love's you baby thats why I always save you." at saka siya niyakap ng na paka higpit.

"How's your grade Khairra?" Dad asked kararating lang niya galing work kaya deretso kain na kami ng dinner.

"Mm, hard but still pursuing." I answered.

"Hmm, malapit ka ng mag college, what do you want to take up?" he nodded before asking about my plan for college.

"Are you going to let me take up medicine over business ad?" I never say PO nor OPO but I know that he can feel that I respect him.

"Hmm so your planning to take up medicine? Give me a good answer." saka sumandal sa upuan niya at humalukipkip at tinitigan ako binaba ko muna ang kutsara't tinidor ko bago pinunasan ang labi at nakipag labanan ng tingin.

"Before Khairro was born I wanted to be like you and Mom I want people to praise me because I'm good at dealing business with others, but everything change when we discovered that Khairro is not just an ordinary kid, I wanted to become a psychiatrist, I want to know if there is a medicine or there is a way to change my Khairro and make him normal, It hurts me seeing him bullied by other kids because of him doing childish acts, but what can I do? You want him- oh I'm wrong, you forced him to study at a ordinary campus instead of letting him study to a  school full of children just like him, your forcing him to be normal, but we all know that we can't do that." mahabang paliwanag ko inalis lahat ng galit sa puso ko at sinabi yon ng direkta kay Dad. If Mom is always spoiling Khairro, kabaliktaran niya naman si Dad.

"I'll let you study medicine, in one condition." agad naman akong kinabahan sa kondisyon ni Dad.

"Never fail." at tumayo saka nilisan ang silid kainan.

"I'm so proud of you Khairra." at saka ako niyakap ni Mommy, tinignan ko naman si Baby Khai, he's looking at me with a curious face, na para bang nag tatanong kung bakit ako niyakap ni Mommy, I just smiled at him at murmured a word 'I LOVE YOU'.

Agad niya naman itong na kuha at ngumiti ng napaka lawak at saka sumigaw ng.

"I wab you too ate HIHI!" kayang kaya ni Ate to basta para kay Khairro.
