Signed: Miss A

Isang magandang hapon sa isang probinsya sa Cebu. May isang pamilya na lumipat nagmula sa syudad. Natapos na kasi ang pinapagawa nitong bahay.

The house was built in the coast, malapit sa baybay, kung saan mo makikita ang isang napakalaki at napakalawak na dagat. Nakaka-silaw ang tubig nito, lalo pa't rume-repleka and sinag ng araw dito. Alas tres na ngunit, lantad at nasa gitna pa rin ang araw. Nakakahalina ito at tila nanghihigop para mamangha sa kagandahang taglay nito. That every people who can see the ocean will be overwhelmed because of it's overwhelming beauty.

"Good day Señora, Señorito, I am Luffy. Ako nga pala 'yung naatasan na magbabantay sa bahay ninyo habang wala pa kayo." The young adult man said, as he welcomed the family to the house. Ang binata ay may natura na brown and tanned skin, may kanipisan ang kilay, singkit na mga mata at perfectly proportioned na labi.

"Thank you Luffy," Pagpapasalamat ng babaeng may-ari.

"You are welcome, Ma'am." Sabi ni Luffy na halatang-halata mula dito ang katigasan ng pagbigkas ng bawat salita. He then excuses himself and gets back to his work at the garden in the back of the mansion.

"Wow!" Namamangha na tinatanaw ng bata ang kabuoan ng bahay. Actually, isa itong mansyon. Nanibago at tila gusto na nitong pumasok. Kaya, agad rin itong humingi ng pahintulot sa ina na pumasok. Hindi na makapaghihintay. "Mom! Mom! Can I go inside?"

"Of course! baby," His mother smiled and messed his newly haircut hair.

"Let's go, Kuya!" Hinawakan ng batang paslit ang kamay ng Kuya niya at tinangay na rin ito papasok sa kabahayan. Even though, Lucas is not really into kids, he still made him follow. Natatakot na baka masaktan niya ang ego at pride ng inosente niyang kapatid.

Well, who would like to hurt a kid?

"Careful, Levi!" Pagpaalala ni Mr. Archie Vergara sa kanyang munting paslit. Nakapasok na kasi ito sa loob at para marinig siya nito ay sumigaw nalang siya. Lumingon sa kanyang gawi ang anak na natatanaw nila mula sa labas dahil sa glass wall at kumaway-kaway. Nginitian niya ito ng pagkatamis-tamis, habang ginalaw ang braso at hinapit ang bewang ng asawang si Olivia.

"Levi is growing fast." Wika ng asawa at inihilig ang ulo nito sa dibdib ni Archie.

"Yeah, and finally our dream house is built." At sabay nilang tinanaw ang kabuoan ng bahay ng masaya.

On the other hand...

"Come on, big bro! Let's play snake and ladders!" Levi exclaimed with so much excitement, while Lucas looks so bored. He just wants to sleep and do the things he wants to do. But, it's his brother he's talking with. He can't just ignore him. "Faster big bro!" Oh there, and it's being demanding. Why the hell did he put himself in this situation? Kung maaari ay sa ama nalang siya namalagi ay hindi na niya kailangan pa na magpunta dito.

"Coming!" He said, lazily. Putting his backpack by the couch in the living area, bago ito sinundan sa veranda.

He helps Levi in arranging the pieces of its toys, afterwards they play with it, which makes him smile, like he never knows himself anymore. Nakakalimutan sandali ang mga hinanakit na dala-dala niya palagi sa kanyang puso. He's like this, when it comes to his brother. He made him laugh, and make him feel comfortable, at the same time he brought happiness to his life. Kahit pa na half-brother lang niya ito, he still love him as a whole. Dahil, kung ano man ang galit niya sa ina niya at sa tatay nito. Labas na ang kapatid niya roon. At isa pa, bata pa ito para madamay sa problema niya.
