CHAPTER 1
“Cabin crew, please take your seats for take off” The flight attendant says. Marami pa syang sinabi but I am too pre occupied para intindihin pa yung iba nyang sinabi.
The plane landed smoothly. I wait for my turn to go out at the plane kasi yung ibang pasahero ay nag mamadaling makababa sa eroplano. Miss na miss ata yung Pilipinas. I went here for one thing, staying here in the Philippines is the worst thing that happen in my life. Imagine the weather, it was so hot and I heard some citizen here in Philippines is dangerous. I don’t know but let me see.
I inhale and exhale before I stand up and get all my stuff “Mabuhay! Welcome to the Philippines” the flight attendant said, I just nod and smile. Nag tuloy tuloy ako sapag lalakad hanggang sa marating ko yung labas ng airport. Sobrang daming tao sa labas at loob, hindi ko alam kung nasaan yung susundo sakin.
“Eto si Christian, Tantan ign nya sa ML” the girl in my back said. Alam kong di dapat ako nakikinig sa usapan ng iba but her voice is so loud.
“ano nga ule pangalan ng grupo nila?”
“mischievous”
“Wow! As far as I know the meaning of mischievous is a person who is having fun by playing harmless tricks” maarte nyang anas.
“Exactly, mas kilala nga sila bilang team payabang dahil magaling sila mag laro ng ML partida nalang yung itsura nila. Kegwa gwapo.” Malandi namang anas ng isa. I just rolled my eyes, Mischievous? Seriously? What a corny name.
“team payabang? E merong hindi mayabang sakanila e. Si Nash?”
I am not that interested in Mobile Legend’s player pero nag lalaro ako ng ML. Mas pamilyar pa ko sa mga manlalaro ng ML sa Canada, mas hot at mas gwapo pa yung mga yon kesa sinasabi nilang player dito sa Pilipinas kahit na hindi ko pa sila nakikita. Tiyak na mas magagaling yung mga yon.
“Paris!” i look around to find who’s calling me, I saw my brother in his car patiently waiting on me.
Nakabukas ang pinto ng itim nyang kotse, nakapasok ang isa nyang paa sa loob ng kotse at masaya syang kumakaway sa akin. Sa layo ng aking kinatatayuan ay nakikita ko yung Malaki nyang eyebag, ang pangangayayat nya. malayo pa lang muka na syang mabaho. I wonder if he took a bath before he went here.
“What took you so long?” I said as I went in his car and got in
“Kanina pa kita hinahanap tanga” he said then laughed “Antagal nating di nag kita ah”
“Oum, 2years? 3? Or 4? Im not sure”
“Wala ngang nag bago sayo e” he said while he’s driving
“talaga?” masigla kong anas
“Oo, pangit ka pa den” nanlaki ang butas ng ilong ko, aba bwisit to ah. Ipinalo ko sakanya yung bag na hawak ko. I don’t want to ruin my designer bag but I badly want to ruin his face. This jerk.
My brother stayed here in the Philippines for good, I don’t know what he find interesting here but I rather not to know. When I said that he should come home he rejected me and said a lot of words about how wonderful this country is. I stayed in Canada together with my parents because at very young age I have a work, I am pursuing my dream which is modeling.
“My friend Gino is inviting us for a dinner tonight” my brother said
“Gino who?”
“My friend” he sarcastically said
“Yes, you said it two times now” I said more sarcastically “My point is that I don’t know that person. Bitch” I heard his laughed
“Kaya nga tayo pupunta don para makilala mo yung mga kaibigan ko” he said as he rolled his eyes on me “Gino is quite good cook and when he cook he wants to share it with everyone. Kung ihahatid pa kita sa Pampanga baka gabihin na akong makapunta sa batangas, hindi na dinner yon. Sumama ka nalang, para makakain kana den. Kung uuwi kapa ay wala ding mag luluto sayo”
“How can I say no? do I have a choice? You bastard” I said
“Good, I don’t want to disappoint him” Ganyan talaga yan si Kuya Marvin he cherish his friends a lot because his past friend betrayed him. Maybe he find a true friendship on that Gino guy. Maybe Gino took care of my brother when we are away, when Kuya need something maybe he was there that’s why Gino gained my brother’s trust.
I close my eyes as I felt the tiredness also my body clock is still adjusting. Nagising lang ako sa tapik ng magaling kong kuya, I didn’t open my eyes I plan to continue sleeping instead. Naramdaman kong bumukas at sumara yung pintuan ng kotse.
Iiwan ata ako ng abnormal
I open my eyes and get up “Akala ko matutulog kapa, bubuhatin na sana kita para di na maistorbo yung tulog mo mahal na impakta” he said jokingly.
“Hoy unano” I said, habang tinatanggal yung sandals na suot ko “Gusto mo bang biyakin ko yang noo mo gamit to?” Mayabang kong anas habang inaamba saknya yung sandals ko. He run hurriedly inside the house in front of me. I get all my things before entering the house door, I even erased my make up so that I cant take a lot of attention. Hindi na ako kumatok, pumasok na lang ako bigla sa bahay na ito kung sino mang may ari ng bahay na ito.
Ang halimuyak ng mabangong pagkain ang unang naka agaw ng aking pansin. Bigla, naramdaman ko yung kalam ng tyan ko. Pag dating ko dito ay hindi pa ako kumakain, kumain man ako sa eroplano hindi naman yon sapat. Isa pa ilang oras na ang lumipas. The time is around 8PM I guess.
I look around searching for my jerk brother, I cant see him. Hindi naman ako maaaring mag sisisigaw at umakyat sa second floor nila dahil baka pagkamalan pakong mag nanakaw. Sinundan ko na lamang yung mabangong amoy na kanina ko pa na aamoy at nag papakalam sa nag wawala kong bituka.
“hmm, mukang masarap ngang mag luto yung kaibigan ni kuya” I whispered. Nakarating ako sa sliding door ng bahay, I slide the door only to see my brother and his friends. A LOT OF FRIENDS!
AND THEY ARE ALL MEN!!!!!!!
