"O to the M to the G!! Is she okay?!!"
"Probably she's sleeping."
"Is she tanga? Why would she open that door?!"
"Estrella low down your voice your sister is sleeping."
"Duhh why kasi sinama niyo pa ako here ih!"
"Shut up, shut your mouth and watch what are you saying ESTRELLA."
They probably here because of what happened, and here i am pretending to sleeping. Ang ingat kasi nagising tuloy kaluluwa ko lalo na sa boses ng isang 'yon.
Umiba ako ng posisyon dahil umupo talaga siya as in sa mismong tabi ng mukha ko, how would i know? Naramdaman ko. Ngayon nasa kabilang side na ako ng kama nakaharap, I don't care about their eyes looking at me like I'm salot sa lipunan.
Naging conyo na pok–
"Wake her up Eryx." I hear my father's voice.
"No she's sleeping." My brother said.
I smiled secretly, my brother really protected me. I mean she's so sweet yeah sweetangina.
"That's why i command you to wake her up."
Hindi niyo ako mapapagising dito! Dahil gising na ako! HAHAHAH
"No." I guess that's a final decision he made.
"Argh! Why are you so kulit naman kuya?! Wake her up!" Estrella said with annoyance voice.
I think my whole family is here gathering in my room. That's the reason why i don't want to wake up!
"Shut up." My brother shut her.
Deserve! Ang ingay mo kasi.
"Don't be rude to your sister Eryx." Oh i hear mother's voice, finally she spoke now and defend her daughter.
"I need to talk to your sister Eryx so wake her up." Father said again.
I know my brother expression right now, it's blank or either annoyed with them. It's just my guts telling me. I know my brother he probably doesn't want to talk to them neither.
"You don't need to talk to her." My brother said.
Go kuya!
"And why is that?" My aunt luisa spoke.
Great.
"Obviously she's sleeping." Boom panes kuya ko yan!
I hear some noise, maybe laugh? I don't know nakikinig lang ako ng usapan nilang malupet dito.
"Eryx!"
"What?"
"You arrogant brother, wake her up or I'm the one who wake her." I feel estrella hand on my shoulder.
Nakarinig ako ng hampas at naalis naman anh kamay nito sa balikat ko. She don't have right to touch me. I think germs already running through my skin now!
"Take your hand off her." May pagbabantang saad ni kuya.
I feel his hand touching my shoulder like he's removing some germs. Hindi pa siya nakontento ay naramdaman ko ang pag spray niya ng alcohol?
"Stop kuya, you're so grabe naman!" Estrella demand.
"Shut up."
"Eryx wake her up." Aunt luisa said.
"Wake her up? In the middle of the night? Are you serious with that?" My brother said coldly.
"Tumawag sa akin ang dean ng school niya Eryx, gumawa na naman siya ng gulo!" Mother over reaction so much ha.
"No need i already talk to her about that." My brother said.
"And what did she tell?" Mother asked my brother.
"You don't need to know. Now get out and go home." My brother said. I felt it stand on the side of my bed.
"What?!" Estrella shouted.
"Shut up." Of course that's my brother word.
"Tsk. Let's go." Father command his family.
Narinig ko pa ang pag reklamo ni Estrella at tumayo siya sa higaan ko. Maya maya pa ay wala na akong narinig na ingay sa kwarto ko, narinig ko ang pag sarado ng pinto ng kwarto ko at narinig ko ang mahinang yapak. Naramdaman kong lumubog ang gilid ko.
"Open your eyes, they're gone."
Napamulat ako ng mata agad na bumangonat tinignan siya ng nanlalaki ng mata.
"How did you know?" I asked him.
Kibit balikat lang siya at humiga sa tabi ko. Inayos ko ang pagkaka upo ko at hinarap siya habang naka upo. Seryoso paano niyang alam na gising ako all the time?
"It's my instincts?" He said, I don't believe him!
"Weh?"
"Alam kong magigising ka sa boses ni Estrella." He said pumikit siya.
Sinamangutan ko siya at humiga sa tabi niya. Narinig ko ang mahinang pag tawa niya kaya tinignan ko siya nakapikit ito habang natatawa.
"Are you crazy?" I asked him.
Napamulat ang mata niya at tinignan ako, tinanong ko lang kung baliw ba siya tumatawa ba naman mag isa malay ko ba kung may ligaw na kaluluwa nagpapatawa sa kuya ko o kaya may third eye 'tong katabi ko hindi lang sinasabi sa akin.
"I'm not." He said.
"Then why are you laughing? Is the ghost I can't see making you laugh?"
Nanlaki ang mata niya at napa upo. "Wtf? What are you saying Rein."
"Sinabi ko na." Pumikit ako at hinayaan siyang mag react ng kung ano ano.
"Psh. Nevermind, are you hungry?"
Ayon natanong niya din sa wakan, minulat ko ang mata ko at umupo din.
"Mhmm! Nag luto ka? By the way what happened? Nakatulog ako eh anyari doon sa mga ano." I asked him.
"Yes and mamaya nalang natin pag usapan yan, let's go i know you didn't eat anything kanina."
Tumayo na siya kaya tumayo na rin ako, napansin kong naka uniform pa ako kaya naiiling akong dumeretso sa banyo.
Napasukan at natulog na lahat lahat uniform pa din ang suot.
I take shower and after that i change my clothes to sleep gown. Umalis na ako ng kwarto at dumeretso sa kusina, nakita ko si kuya na iniinit ang niluto niya kanina. Napansin niya ata ako kaya pumunta siya sa harap ko at inalalayan akong umupo.
"Wait a minute malapit na 'to." He said.
"Kumain ka na?" Tanong ko dito.
"No, after what happened early dumating sila kaya hindi na ako nakaka kain, inasikaso din kita." He said nakatalikod pa rin ito sa akin.
"What time na ba kuya?" I asked him again.
He looked at his watch. "12:56 am it's midnight."
Tumango tango ako at hinintay siyang matapos, at ng matapos ay hinayaan ko lang siyang aasikasuhin ako.
"Let's eat." Tumango lang ako.
Kumain na din siya, tahimik lang ang boung lamesa, kumain nalang ako dahil gutom na talaga ako. Ilang oras ata akong nakatulog kaya grabe ang gutom ko.
