Happy New Year!

Kath's pov

Agad akong naghugas ng kamay at itinapon ang maduming tubig na ginamit kong panglinis ng paint. Ng makalabas ako ay wala na si Zion. He told me he will be back with snacks with him.

Umupo muna ako at tinitigan ang larawang ipinintura.

How can something so beautiful create such misery?

I can still remember how happy I was when he was still here. Making me laugh, enjoying time together, telling stories to each other... everything was perfect. Not until these mesmerizing thing got in the way.

I will never forget who took him from me. And I will never forget how I took them from this g*ddamn world.

Napatingin ako sa pintuan ng bigla itong bumukas. I thought it was Zion, but...

"Kuya! Anong mas maganda? Green or brown?"

A girl entered Zion's room. Her hair was as dark as night, just as what the information told me.

Zabrina Ashley Anderson.

Her forehead was creased as she was examining the dresses she was holding. She hasn't even look up to see if Zion was here or not.

Nang mapansin niya atang walang sumagot ay dun na siya napatingin sa akin. She was quite surprised when our eyes met.

"I'm sorry. I thought-" She stuttered. She quickly avoided my eyes, and I let out a smile when I saw her ears was reddish.

Aw, she's so cute, and shy and -

"I'm sorry who are you?" Nagulat ako sa biglang pagbago ng tono ng boses niya.

Tumingin siya saakin habang nakataas ang kaliwang kilay.

I take back what I said. She's not cute.

"Kath Abigail. A friend of your brother." She looked at me suspiciously as if I did something wrong.

She crossed her arms and glared at me. Maatitude tong kapatid ni Zion ah.

"Which one?" Ani nito.

"Zion?" I wasn't informed that Zion had a brother. La namang nakalagay doon sa ibinigay na folder.

"Duh! Who else?" Irap nito sa akin.

Aba't gaga to!

"I don't remember my brother having a GIRL friend." Mariin na sabat sa akin.

"It's not my fault you can't remember." Pano niya malalaman eh first time magkita. Talino rin nitong kapatid ni Mr. Thank you noh?

"Psh! Where's my brother anyway? You didn't kidnap him did you?"

"I'm not some weird psycho lady." Ano naman mapapala ko kung kidnapin ko yung kuya niyang walang ibang alam kundi mag-inis at manghingi ng thank you.

Tumalikod ako sa kanya at ipinagpatuloy ang ipinintura kanina. Di ko na tinuonan ng pansin si Zabrina at itinitutok an atensyon sa canvas.

Okay na sana eh, kaya lang...

"What are you doing?! You're ruining my brother's painting!" Malakas na hiyaw nito. Langya.

Zion asan ka na ba at ilayo mo sa kin tong abnormal mong kapatid!

I tried to ignore her but she kept on yapping. It's ok Kath. Kalma lang. She's younger than you. Huwag mong bugbugi- I mean huwag mong patulan.

"Are you listening?! Get your hands off-" When she grabbed my wrist... that was it.
