WTSF 06 - Is It A Game Of Fate?

Haru's POV

I like how she would effortlessly look cute.

"Hoy, bat natulala ka dyan kuya?" biglang sulpot ng nakababata kong kapatid, si Heron.

"Aish. Heron, panira ka. Alam mo ba 'yun?" angil ko.

"Tinititigan mo naman si ate Sakura ah?" kantyaw niya.

Teka? Anong sabi niya? Sakura?!

"Hoy, ako lang may karapatan tawagin siya na Sakura. Call her by her name idiot." singhal ko rito.

"You call her Sakura. Bakit bawal ba? Lol brother. Grabe ka naman magselos. Remember may jowa ka?" ngumisi siya na para bang aso.

Jowa? Teka teka— Ah shit! Nakalimutan ko pala na jowa ko pa rin si..

Sino nga ba ulit jowa ko?

Si Joana ba? Kina? Stella? Jewel? Kae? Carlyle?

I am certain that her starting letter is J. Ugh. Sino nga ba ulit?

My train of undetermined thoughts were interrupted by my brother's annoying voice.

English yun ah? Wow!

"Hoy kuya, bat ganyan mukha mo?"

"Inaalala ko kung ano nga ba pangalan ulit ng jowa ko. Hindi ko na matandaan eh." sagot ko sabay kamot sa ulo ko.

*pak!*

Hoy?! Sino sumapak sa akin!?

Liningon ko ang taong nasa harapan ko, ang taong sumapak sa akin.

Laking gulat ko nang makita ang 2 weeks ko pa lang na jowa.

Ugh. I still can't remember her name. I'll just address her with our "endearment" or whatever you call it.

"Baby—"

"I should've listen nga pala sa mga kaibigan ko! Walanghiya ka, Tyler! Ilan ba babae mo, ha?! At bakit ba nakalimutan mo agad pangalan ko? Ilang weeks pa lang tayo "on" bilang mag jowa."

The girl was dressed in white crop top, denim pants and white Adidas shoes—and is fuming mad.

"Break na tayo! Leche ka Tyler! And my name's Janelle, you stupid playboy!"

The retreating figure of the girl who broke up with me made me click my tongue.

Janelle? Oh right! If I'm clearly not mistaken, her full name is Janelle Aoi Lee.

Ugh! Bakit ko nga ba nakalimutan?

"Awit mamser. Hahaha! That was epic."

I glared at my brother.

"Kuya naman kasi, mukha kang nakatulala na aso. Tsaka kanina ka pa tinatawag ni ate Janelle 'di mo man lang narinig." he chuckled.

Uminit na nang tuluyan ang ulo ko.

"Heron, tandaan mo, na you are 3 years younger than me. I demand you give respect to me as your older brother." my glaring intensifies as he gave out a sarcastic laugh.

"Respect? And demand? In one sentence? Wow ha, kuya? Let me tell you something. I give respect to those who deserve respect, not because they demand respect." he suddenly turned serious.

"Respect is earned by those who truly deserve it, however if you demand respect because you are older than me, I'm afraid I cannot give you that. Hindi basehan ang edad para magbigay respeto, kuya. Always remember that. And oh, just one thing kuya. Enough playing with hearts. Karma will hit you, twice more than what you have done."
