CHAPTER 7
“Hoy! Ikaw ha!”
Tinaasan ko ng kilay si Gelo nang bigla niya ako’ng kalabitin ng malakas, na’ndito kami ngayon sa field naka-upo, last day na ng Foundation day.
“Ano na naman ba?” Inis ko siyang tinignan “Napaka mo..” irap ko.
“Traydor ka, Grabe!” He even held his chest dramatically
“What’s with you, dude?” My forehead creased.
“Kaya pala naiwas ka kay Adam kase nag-date kayo nung nakaraan!” I immediately cover his mouth using my right hand, why is he so loud?!
“Bakit mo pinipigilan si Gelo?” Napa-buntong hininga ako nang marinig ang boses ni Kino sa likudan namin, jusko naman! “Mag-uusap tayo”
Umupo sila sa tabi ko at puma-bilog para bang meeting ganon.
“So, Una. Totoo ba’ng nagdate kayo?”Panimula ni Kino habang yung iba naman naka-tutok sa’kin.
“Nag Starbu—” Naputol ang sasabihin ko ng takpan nila ang mga tenga nila
“EXCUSES! EXCUSES!” Sigaw nila, Jusko!
“That question should only be answer by yes or no”Saad ni Kino habang kunyareng inaayos ang kwelyo ng damit niya kahit naka t-shirt lang siya “If you are in court, you will definitely lose”
“Oo, nag-kape lang kami sa Starbucks” nag-cross arms ako at umupo ng tuwid habang nag-aantay sa tanong nila
“Eh, Bakit mo siya iniiwasan?”I bit my lips.
Yes after that day iniwasan ko na siya, Hindi naman ako tanga para hindi maramdaman to e’ nabibilisan ako, sht.
“Hey, We have our rules, right?” Derek remind me.
We have this little golden rule thingy.
First Rule: Always Care for others.
Second Rule: Never hide Secrets.
Third Rule: Never let anyone bully our Reu.
Nasi-sweet-an ako na nako-corny-han kase simula nang binuo nila yang rules na ‘yan, I’m always safe.
“Sige, I won’t hide Secrets.” I inhaled and exhaled before looking at them “I think I’m starting to like him”
“Oh, tapos?” Si Ken.
Lahat ng noo nila ay naka-kunot na para bang ang weird ng sinabi ko.
“What the hell, dudes? I like your Friend! I like Adamson Asunscion!” I raised my brow.
“Hep! Hep! Yes! You like him! We know that part!” Steve pointed at me “So what’s wrong kung gusto mo siya? may masama ‘ba? Hindi ka naman alien di’ba?” He even massaged his forehead
“Oo nga, Anong masama?” Nanlaki ang mata ko at napatingin kayla Kino na ngayon ay nanlalaki din ang tingin “Anong masama kung gusto mo’ko, Alien ka ‘ba?”
Putspa!
“What? Para kayo’ng nakakita ng multo” Naka-kunot noo na tanong ni Adam.
“Dude, what are you doing here?” Kino awkwardly asked him.
“Actually pauwi na dapat ako but I heard Reu say my name so yeah” he shrugged.
Did he just call me by my nick name?! O M G!!! Ang cute naman ng name ko!
“So? A-ayos lang sayo na crush ka ni Izha?” Nanlaki ang mata ko sa tanong ni Ken.
“Hoy! Sinungaling! Hindi Ah!” Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata, napaka nito.
“Hala! Kaka-amin mo lang ah!” Nagtatakang sigaw niya pabalik
“Ang sabe ko malapit na akong magkagusto hindi ko gusto okay?! Ang epal mo!” Nagpamewang ako habang tinataasan siya ng kilay
“Sinungaling! Story Maker!” He spat back.
I was about to shoot back when we heard a loud whistle.
“Hoy Aba! Mag ga-gabi na naririto pa din kayo?!” sigaw ng isang gwardya palapit.
Dali dali naming kinuha ang lahat ng bag namin at nag kanya kanya kaming takbo, sinabayan ako ni Adam nang pag takbo kaya medyo na-awkward-an ako.
“Just wait, Let’s make that ‘Like’ turn into ‘Love'” he winked and chuckled before waving his goobye.
Jusko naman Lord! Grabe strike no’n ha!

Huminga ako ng malalim bago kumatok sa kwarto ni Zhack.
“Hey, dinner time?” I let out a small smile
After everything that happens Zhackary turn into a silent person, He often hang with us, madalas siya’ng naka-kulong sa kwarto niya kung aalis ‘man ay gabi na uuwi
“I’m full, Reuzekhia.” I was shocked when he called me without hint of respect but I choose to understand.
“Mom said you haven’t eat anything” I tried to knock again, hoping this time he’ll open hid door for me.
“Mom. Tss” I heard him laugh sarcastically “I’m not his son and I said I’m full!” He shouted and it shocked me out.
Simula nang malaman niyang hindi siya tunay na anak, lahat nang ginagawa niya ay nakaka-sorpresa at nakaka-gulat
Just like now, he always me Ate or Big Sis and he never shouted at me before, I understand him.
It must’ve really bad for knowing the person you trust the most doesn’t really want you to be part of her.
He trust my Mom, but Mom doesn’t like him.
“Please don’t shut your door for me Zhack, I know you’re hurting, please always remember that I’m here, I won’t turn my back to you” I looked at door for the last time waiting for it to open but it didn’t. “I love you, Little Bro”
There’s a little pain in my heart.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Trust him, Izha….” I whispered to my self “Trust him.”
Tahimik kaming tatlo nila Dad na kumakain sa lamesa nang biglang pa-dabog na binagsak ni Mom ang kubyertos.
“Where’s your brother?” She inhaled sharply, ready to explode ” ‘Wag niya ako’ng a-artehan, pababain niyo ‘yan.”
“Will you just let him?” I calmy asked.
“I’m your Mother” she raised a brow at me “Don’t you dare talk to me like that again, you know what will happened, You’re just his sister.”
“Maybe yes, I am not his Mother but I am the one who raised him! so don’t you dare spit bullshit to me, Izha!” She shouted. I smirked.
“Yes, I am just his sister, but why am i doing the mother’s work?” I looked at her “When did the last time you asked if he’s okay? kaylan mo siya huling kinamusta? Loving him? Maybe you show loved but you’re also the reason of his downfall, That’s the truth.”
Natahimik siya at tanging masama’ng tingin nalang ang nabigay sa aken.
“I’m done.” Tumayo ako at iniwan sila
I’m sorry for disrespecting you, Mother but that’s the truth.
