"How are you?" My mom asked. They were not in the country oftentime because of our company. Ever since I never felt their presence in our home but I know they love me that much.



"Nothing new, I'm doing my news journal." Sagot ko saka inayos ang salamin ko. I am used to this set up naman, its not new hays.

My family owns a company sa Almería, Spain. My mother is the heiress of Castellon company and my dad----

"bebe papi te extraño"
(Baby, daddy miss you"


Yes, he is my dad, he is pure spanish and marunong siyang magtagalog pero gustong gusto niyang magsalita ng Spanish. Saka nga pala, sa kanilang dalawa, si Papi ang lagi akong binibaby I'm already 17 years old tapos ganon pa din yung turing sakin.

"No te extraño papi"
(I don't miss you daddy)


"¿De Verdad? no necesitas a tu papi?"
(Really? You don't need your daddy?

Sagot niya of course I'm just kidding. Even though they were not here always, I love them both. I know they're just doing these to give us things we want to as long as they can.

"I'm just kidding papa. Anyways, when will you go home?" Tnong ko sa kanila.

"Matatagalan pa. Siguro sa susunod na buwan pa. Andiyan naman sina yaya and where is your brother? I tried to call him earlier but his phone is busy." Tanong ni mommy.

Ah yeah, I have old brother. His name is Zeian Nicolo a graduating college student na puro lakwatsa ang alam. I remember how the school staffs told me kung bakit opposite kaming magkapatid. I'm good at academic, and he is good at doing ditch. Lagi din akong napapatawag sa POD dahil sa reports niya.

"He's not here since yesterday after class. Baka nasa friends niya." Sagot ko.

"Contact his friends can you Zellia? Sabihin mo tumawag ako. Sige na mag e 11PM na dito."

"Buenas noches bebe" my dad said.

"Buenas noches papi"

Hyss may trabaho nanaman ako ugh! Kainis. I get my phone and contacted Chale. one of his friend.

Ringing...

"Hello?"

"This is me, Nico"

"Nico? As in Nicolae?" He chuckled.

"Yeah, where's Zeian? Let me talk"

"Hey! Zeian your baby sister is on the phone she wants to talk to you"

"Hey"

"Go home now Zeian. Mommy called me a while ago and told me to tell you go home or else she will block your cards." 

"Excuse me? Why are you calling Zeian? I am your older brother! Have some respect to me Nico."  Pagalit  niyang saad. Duh why would he act like kuya all of the sudden?

"Just go home. Bye"

I ended the call and I continue writing  my project.




I heard the noise of a car outside and that means na nakauwi na ang magaling kong kuya.




My phone rang and I take a look at it. It's a message from unknown number which make me wonder. Who the heck will message me neither one of my parents, kuya, Chale and Ace?

Message from 09*********
Are you free for tomorrow? I mean hanging out with me.

Are this serious? Why would I hang with this stranger? And where did he got my number? I should've block this person.

"Nico, kakain na iha"

"Yes nanay Osing susunod po 'ko"

She's my our yaya. Parang second parent na din namin since sya ung nagbabantay at nag aasikaso sa amin habang wala sina mommy't daddy.

"Oh andito ka na pala take a sit" sabi ng kuya ko kaya umupo na din ako sa pwesto ko kapag kumakain. "Ikaw ah, bakit may number ka ni Chale?"



"Can you stop looking at me suspicious? He gave his number before to contact him if I can't contact you" sagot ko naman.

"no te acerques demasiado a el"
(Do not get too close at him)



"y por que te seguiria?" He glared at me. (And why would I follow you?"



"Soy tu hermano mayor. Solo sigue lo que digo. y no te atrevas a responderme"
(I am your old brother. Just follow what i say so. And don't you dare to answer me back)


I just keep my mouth shut and eat silently. I know he's older than me but why would he have to order me who should I be with? And why would he prohibit me to talk to  Chale? he's his friend and among their circle of friend, Chale is the silent type and more serious looking rather than them.




"I'm done. Thanks for the food"



Yun lang ang sinabi ko saka umakyat papuntang kwarto. After a couple of minute, I decided to take a bath and as I was looking my reflection at the mirror, I saw how different person I am when I have no lenses. I got my oceanic eye from my dad, I had my pointed nose like mom and I had my curly hair. I appreciate myself whenever I look at the mirror alone from bath. But, when I went to school, I wear my eye glass, and activate my nerdy.



Before I sleep, Nagsusulat ako ng story about my life. So today, I'm going to add what jusy happened this day.
